You fire a 50-g arrow that moves at an unknown speed. it hits and embers in a 350-g block that slides on an air track. at the en

d, the block runs into and compresses a 4000-n/m spring 0.10 m. how fast was the arrow traveling? indicate the assumptions you make and how they affect your results.

The solution for this problem is:

Work it backwards: spring U = ½kx² = ½ * 4000N/m * (0.10m) ² = 20 J

so the pre-impact of KE = 20 J = ½ * m * v² = ½ * 0.40kg * v²

v = 10 m/s → for the bullet/block.

Now conserve the momentum:

50g * u = 400g * 10m/s

u = 80 m/s is the arrow velocity

An object of mass 6 kg. is resting on a horizontal surface. A horizontal force

son4ous [18]

Answer:

a) The work done by the applied force is 1500 joules.

b) The kinetic energy of the block after 10 seconds is 1200 joules.

c) The magnitude of the force of friction is 3 newtons and its direction is against motion.

d) 300 joules of energy are lost during motion.

Explanation:

a) Since the object has a constant mass, on which a constant horizontal force is exerted. The work done by the force ( $W$ ), measured in joules, is defined by the following expression:

$W = F\cdot \Delta x$ (1)

Where:

$F$ - Force, measured in newtons.

$\Delta x$ - Distance, measured in meters.

If we know that $F = 15\,N$ and $\Delta x = 100\,m$ , then the work done by the force exerted on the object is:

$W = (15\,N)\cdot (100\,m)$

$W = 1500\,J$

The work done by the applied force is 1500 joules.

b) At first we need to calculate the net acceleration of the object ( $a$ ), measured in meters per square second. By assuming a constant acceleration, we use the following kinematic formula:

$\Delta x = v_{o}\cdot t +\frac{1}{2}\cdot a\cdot t^{2}$ (2)

Where $v_{o}$ is the initial velocity of the object, measured in meters per second.

We clear the acceleration within the equation above:

$\frac{1}{2}\cdot a \cdot t^{2} = \Delta x-v_{o}\cdot t$

$a = \frac{2\cdot (\Delta x - v_{o}\cdot t)}{t^{2}}$

If we know that $\Delta x = 100\,m$ , $v_{o} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}$ and $t = 10\,s$ , then the net acceleration experimented by the object is:

$a = \frac{2\cdot \left[100\,m-\left(0\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot (10\,s)\right]}{(10\,s)^{2}}$

$a = 2\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

By the 2nd Newton's Law, we construct the following equation of equilibrium under the consideration of a friction force acting against the motion of the object:

$\Sigma F = F - f = m\cdot a$ (3)

Where:

$F$ - External force exerted on the object, measured in newtons.

$f$ - Kinetic friction force, measured in newtons.

If we know that $F = 15\,N$ , $m = 6\,kg$ and $a = 2\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ , the kinetic friction force is:

$f = F-m\cdot a$

$f = 15\,N-(6\,kg)\cdot \left(2\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)$

$f = 3\,N$

The work done by friction ( $W'$ ), measured in joules, is:

$W' = f\cdot \Delta x$ (4)

$W' = (3\,N) \cdot (100\,m)$

$W' = 300\,J$

And the net work experimented by the object is:

$\Delta W = 1500\,J - 300\,J$

$\Delta W = 1200\,J$

By the Work-Energy Theorem we understand that change in translational kinetic energy ( $\Delta K$ ), measured in joules, is equal to the change in net work. That is:

$\Delta K = \Delta W$ (5)

If we know that $\Delta W = 1200\,J$ , then the change in translational kinetic energy is:

$\Delta K = 1200\,J$

The kinetic energy of the block after 10 seconds is 1200 joules.

c) The magnitude of the force of friction is 3 newtons and its direction is against motion.

d) The energy lost by the object is equal to the work done by the force of friction. Therefore, 300 joules of energy are lost during motion.

Thomas Newcomen was the first to produce a working steam engine. Why is the work of James Watt more widely known than the work o

LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

The steam engine of James watt is more efficient than Newcomen ans more suitable for the industrial revolution.

Explanation:

James Watt is more widely know for working steam engine because Watt has created better engine which is suitable for the industrial revolution. The steam engine of James watt is more efficient than Newcomen. Watt developed the condensing arrangement by using piston which lessen the initial pressure leading to effectively worked than Newcomen's

This isn’t homework related but what methods do you guys recommend for shifting realities ? .I’ve tried the raven method for wee

elena55 [62]

Answer:

subs

Explanation:

I've seen subliminals online that are supposed to help shifting. You could see for yourself if they work for you. You could probably also use the method where you act like you already have your desires and results. I have seen a lot of people act as if they have their desires and affirm it constantly. Ex: you want to lose weight, so you act as if you already are your desired weight and tell yourself that you are such and such weight, and don't contradict it by saying that you aren't. I hope that this helps.
