A 2.00 kg block on a horizontal floor is attached to a horizontal spring that is initially compressed 0.0300 m . The spring has

force constant 815 N/m . The coefficient of kinetic friction between the floor and the block is μk=0.40. The block and spring are released from rest and the block slides along the floor.
Required:
What is the speed of the block when it has moved a distance of 0.0200 m from its initial position? (At this point the spring is compressed 0.0100 m.)

Answer:

v = 0.41 m/s

Explanation:

  • In this case, the change in the mechanical energy, is equal to the work done by the fricition force on the block.
  • At any point, the total mechanical energy is the sum of the kinetic energy plus the elastic potential energy.
  • So, we can write the following general equation, taking the initial and final values of the energies:

       \Delta K + \Delta U = W_{ffr}  (1)

  • Since the block and spring start at rest, the change in the kinetic energy is just the final kinetic energy value, Kf.
  • ⇒ Kf = 1/2*m*vf²  (2)
  • The change in the potential energy, can be written as follows:

       \Delta U = U_{f}  - U_{o}  = \frac{1}{2} * k * (x_{f} ^{2} - x_{0} ^{2} ) (3)

       where k = force constant = 815 N/m

       xf = final displacement of the block = 0.01 m (taking as x=0 the position

      for the spring at equilibrium)

      x₀ = initial displacement of  the block = 0.03 m

  • Regarding the work done by the force of friction, it can be written as follows:

       W_{ffr} = - \mu_{k}* F_{n} * \Delta x  (4)

       where μk = coefficient of kinettic friction, Fn = normal force, and Δx =

       horizontal displacement.

  • Since the surface is horizontal, and no acceleration is present in the vertical direction, the normal force must be equal and opposite to the force due to gravity, Fg:
  • Fn = Fg= m*g (5)
  • Replacing (5) in (4), and (3) and (4) in (1), and rearranging, we get:

        \frac{1}{2} * m* v^{2} = W_{ffr} - \Delta U = W_{ffr} - (U_{f} -U_{o})  (6)

        \frac{1}{2} * m* v^{2} = (- \mu_{k}* m*g* \Delta x)  -\frac{1}{2} * k * (x_{f} ^{2} - x_{0} ^{2} ) (7)

  • Replacing by the values of m, k, g, xf and x₀, in (7) and solving for v, we finally get:

    \frac{1}{2} * 2.00 kg* v^{2}  = (-0.4*2.00 kg*9.8m/s2*0.02m) +( (\frac{1}{2} *815 N/m)* (0.03m)^{2} - (0.01m)^{2}) = -0.1568 J + 0.326 J (8)

  • v =\sqrt{(0.326-0.1568}  =  0.41 m/s  (9)

A grindstone of radius 4.0 m is initially spinning with an angular speed of 8.0 rad/s. The angular speed is then increased to 12
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer: 6.36

Explanation:

Given

Radius of grindstone, r = 4 m

Initial angular speed of grindstone, w(i) = 8 rad/s

Final angular speed of the grindstone, w(f) = 12 rad/s

Time used, t = 4 s

Angular acceleration of the grinder,

α = Δw / t

α = w(f) - w(i) / t

α = (12 - 8) / 4

α = 4/4 = 1 rad/s²

Number of complete revolution in 4s =

Δθ = w(i).t + 1/2.α.t²

Δθ = 8 * 4 + 1/2 * 1 * 4²

Δθ = 32 + 1/2 * 16

Δθ = 32 + 8

Δθ = 40 rad/s

40 rad/s = 40/2π rpm = 6.36 rpm

Therefore, the grindstone does 6.36 revolutions during the 4 s interval

You obtain a 100-W light bulb and a 50-W light bulb. Instead of connecting them in the normal way, you devise a circuit that pla
lesantik [10]

Answer:

When they are connected in series

     The  50 W bulb glow more than the 100 W bulb

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The power rating  of the first bulb is P_1  = 100 \ W

      The power rating of the second bulb is  P_2  =  50 \ W

     

Generally the power rating of the first bulb is mathematically represented as

      P_1  =  V^2 R

Where  V is the normal household voltage which is constant for both bulbs

  So  

        R_1  =  \frac{V^2}{P_1 }

substituting values

        R_1  =  \frac{V^2}{100}

Thus the resistance of the second bulb would be evaluated as

       R_2  =  \frac{V^2}{50}

From the above calculation we see that

        R_2  >  R_1

This power rating of the first bulb can also be represented mathematically as  

        P_  1  =  I^2_1  R_1

This power rating of the first bulb can also be represented mathematically as    

       P_  2  =  I^2_2 R_2

Now given that they are connected in series which implies that the same current flow through them so

       I_1^2 =  I_2^2

This means  that

       P \ \alpha  \  R

So  when they are connected in series

     P_2  >  P_1

This means that the 50 W bulb glows more than the 100 \ W bulb

A state patrol officer saw a car start from rest at a highway​ on-ramp. She radioed ahead to another officer 20 mi along the hig
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

We know from the basic speed distance relation that

Speed=\frac{Distance}{Time}

Since the car started from rest and it covered the distance between the 2 officer's in 19 minutes we have speed of the car

Speed=\frac{Distance}{Time}\\\\Speed=\frac{20}{\frac{19}{60}}=63.16mph

Which clearly exceeds the limit of 60\frac{mi}{hr}

Which element could provide one atom to make an ionic bond with nitrogen?​
aev [14]

Answer:

boron

aluminum

gallium

indium

thallium

Explanation:

Any of these could work. Nitrogen has 5 valence electrons so you just needed to pick an element that has 3 valence electrons that nitrogen could borrow. This periodic table shows valence electron counts:
