Answer:

0.006075Joules

Explanation:

The final kinetic energy of the system is expressed as;

KE = 1/2(m1+m2)v²

m1 and m2 are the masses of the two bodies

v is the final velocity of the bodies after collision

get the final velocity using the law of conservation of momentum

m1u1 + m2u2 = (m1+m2)v

0.12(0.45) + 0/12(0) = (0.12+0.12)v

0.054 = 0.24v

v = 0.054/0.24

v = 0.225m/s

Get the final kinetic energy;

KE = 1/2(m1+m2)v

KE = 1/2(0.12+0.12)(0.225)²

KE = 1/2(0.24)(0.050625)

KE = 0.12*0.050625

KE = 0.006075Joules

Hence the final kinetic energy of the system is 0.006075Joules

In a lab, a student drags a shoe across the floor at constant speed. If the coefficient of static friction between the floor and
Svetllana [295]
<span>B) 0.6 N
   I suspect you have a minor error in your question. Claiming a coefficient of static friction of 0.30N is nonsensical. Putting the Newton there is incorrect. The figure of 0.25 for the coefficient of kinetic friction looks OK. So with that correction in mind, let's solve the problem. The coefficient of static friction is the multiplier to apply to the normal force in order to start the object moving. And the coefficient of kinetic friction (which is usually smaller than the coefficient of static friction) is the multiplied to the normal force in order to keep the object moving. You've been given a normal force of 2N, so you need to multiply the coefficient of static friction by that in order to get the amount of force it takes to start the shoe moving. So: 0.30 * 2N = 0.6N And if you look at your options, you'll see that option "B" matches exactly.</span>
