Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

The question is incomplete. The missing part of this question is the following:

<em>"While the block is in contact with the spring and being brought to rest, what are (a)the work done by the spring force and (b) the increase in thermal energy of the blockfloor system? (c) What is the blocks speed just as it reaches the spring?"</em>

<em />

According to this we need to calculate three values: Work, Thermal Energy and Speed of the block when it reaches the spring.

Let's do this by parts.

<u>a) Work done by the spring:</u>

In this case, we need to apply the following expression:

W = -1/2 kx²  (1)

We know that k = 430 N/m, and x is the distance of compressed spring which is 5.8 cm (or 0.058 m). Replacing that into the expression:

W = -1/2 * 430 * (0.058)²

<h2>W = -0.7233 J</h2>

<u>b) Increase in thermal energy</u>

In this case we need to use the following expression:

ΔEt = Fk * x   (2)

And Fk is the force of the kinetic energy which is:

Fk = μk * N   (3)

Where μk is the coeffient of kinetic friction

N is the normal force which is the same as the weight, so:

N = mg (4)

Let's calculate first the Normal force (4), then Fk (3) and finally the chance in the thermal energy (2):

N = 4.8 * 9.8 = 47.04 N

Fk = 0.28 * 47.04 = 13.1712 N

Finally the Thermal energy:

ΔEt = 13.1712 * 0.058

<h2>ΔEt = 0.7639 J</h2>

<u>c) Block's speed reaching the spring</u>

As the block is just reaching the speed, the initial Work is 0. And the following expression will help us to get the speed:

V = √2Ki/m   (5)

And Ki, which is the initial kinetic energy can be calculated with:

Ki = ΔU + ΔEt   (6)

And ΔU is the same value of work calculated in part (a) but instead of being negative, it will be positive here. So replacing the data first in (6) and then in (5), we can calculate the speed:

Ki = 0.7233 + 0.7639 = 1.4872 J

Finally the speed:

V = √(2 * 1.4872) / 4.8

<h2>V = 0.7872 m/s</h2>

Hope this helps

Running with an initial velocity of +11m/s, a horse has an average acceleration of -1.81m/s 2 . How long does it take for the ho
Ronch [10]

Answer:

2.49 seconds

Explanation:

From the question,

a = (v-u)/t............................ Equation 1

Where a = acceleration, v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, t = time

Make t the subject of the equation

t = (v-u)/a.......................... Equation 2

Given: v = 6.5 m/s, u = 11 m/s, a = -1.81 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 2

t = (6.5-11)/(-1.81)

t = -4.5/-1.81

t = 2.49 s

A certain dam generates 120 MJ of mechanical (hydroelectric) energy each minute. If the conversion from mechanical to electrical
Karolina [17]

Answer:

electric energy ( power ) = 300000 W

Explanation:

given data

mechanical (hydroelectric) energy = 120 MJ/min = 2000000 J/s

efficiency = 15 % = 0.15

solution

we know that Efficiency of electric engine is expression  as

Efficiency = Mechanical energy ÷ electric energy  ......................1

and here dam electrical power output is

put here value in equation 1

electric energy ( power ) = Efficiency × Mechanical energy ( power )

electric energy ( power ) = 0.15 × 2000000 J/s

electric energy ( power ) = 300000 W

You drive a car for 2.0 h at 60 km/h, then for another 3.0 h at 85 km/h. What is your average velocity
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

Explanation:

Average velocity is found in the total displacement experienced in the trip divided by the total time it took to make this trip. If, for the first 2.0 hours, the car travels at 60 km/hr, then in 2.0 hours the car can travel 120 km; if it then travels for 3.0 at 85 km/hr, it can travel 255 km in the same direction. The total time this took was 5.0 hours. So doing the math and rounding correctly by following the rules for the adding and subtracting of sig fig's:

v=\frac{120+255}{5.0}=\frac{380}{5.0}=76\frac{km}{hr}

If you do not round when you add, the average velocity is 75 km/hr

An early model of the atom, proposed by Rutherford after his discovery of the atomicnucleus, had a positive point charge +Ze(the
Amanda [17]

Answer:

a)  E = k Ze (1- r³ / R³)  1/r², b) E=0, c)   E = -6.62 10¹⁰  N / C

Explanation:

a) For this we can use the law of Gauus

         Ф = E- dA = q_{int} / ε₀

where we take a sphere as a Gaussian surface, so that the electric field lines and the radii of the sphere are parallel, consequently the dot product is reduced to the algebraic product

       E A =q_{int} / ε₀

the area of ​​a sphere  

      A = 4π r²

      E 4π r² = q_{int} / ε₀

      E = 1 / 4πε₀   q_{int} / r²

       k = 1 /4π ε₀

       E = k q_{int} / r²       (1)

       

let's analyze the charge inside the gaussian sphere,

let's use the concept of density for electrons, since they indicate that the charge is evenly distributed

     ρ = Q / V

where the volume of the sphere is

    V = 4/3 πr³

     Qe = ρ V

     Qe = ρ 4 / 3π r³

the density of the electrons is

     ρ = Ze 3 / (4π R³)

where R is the atomic radius

we substitute

       Qe = Ze r³/ R³

for protons they are in a very small space, the atomic nucleus, so we can superno that they are a point charge.

The net charge inside our Gaussian surface, the charge of the protoens plus the charge of the electroens (Qe)

     q_{int} = q_proton + Q_electron

     q_{int} = + Ze - Qe

     q_{int} = + Ze - Ze r³ / R³

     q_{int} = Ze (1- r³ / R³)

   

  we substitute in equation 1

     E = k Ze (1- r³ / R³)  1/r²

b) on the surface of the atom r = R

therefore the electric field is zero

      E = 0

c) Calculate the electric field for the Uranium for

       r = R / 2 = 0.10 10⁻⁹ / 2 = 0.05 10⁻⁹ = 5 10⁻¹¹ m

     

       E = 8.99 10⁹ 92 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ (1-1/2)³   1/ (5 10⁻¹¹)²

       E = -6.62 10¹⁰  N / C

Aliun [14]

Answer: velocity = 79.6m/s, distance covered = 139.6m and velocity when distance is 10.0m = 61.611m/s

Explanation:

First step is to take a direction of motion, so to avoid issues with negative sign, I take my direction of motion as the positive y axis which makes the parameters positive.

The object is of a free fall thus it has a constant acceleration of g = 9.8m/s².

a) initial velocity (u) = 60m/s, g = 9.8m/s², time taken (t) =2s, we need to get velocity at that time using the formulae below

v = u + at

v = 60 + (9.8)* 2

v = 60 + 19.6

v = 79.6m/s

b) to get the distance traveled at t =2s, we use the formulae below

s =ut + 1/2at² where s = distance covered.

s = 60 * 2 + 1/2 * 9.8 * 2²

s = 120 + 1/2 *9.8 * 4

s = 120 + 9.8 * 2

s = 120 + 19.6

s = 139.6m

c) to get the velocity (v) when distance traveled (s) = 10m, we use the formulae below.

v² = u² + 2as

v² = 60² + 2( 9.8)(10)

v² = 3600 + 196

v² = 3796

v = √3796

v = 61.611m
