In an experiment, a variable, position-dependent force F(x)F(x) is exerted on a block of mass 1.0kg1.0kg that is moving on a hor

izontal surface. The frictional force between the block and the surface has a constant magnitude of FfFf. In addition to the final velocity of the block, which of the following information would students need to test the hypothesis that the work done by the net force on the block is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the block as the block moves from x=0x=0 to x=5mx=5m?

Answer:

The function F(x) for 0 < x < 5, the block's initial velocity, and the value of F(f).

(C) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of block = 1.0 kg

Dependent force = F(x)

Frictional force = F(f)

Suppose, the following information would students need to test the hypothesis,

(A) The function F(x) for 0 < x < 5 and the value of F(f).

(B) The function a(t) for the time interval of travel and the value of F(f).

(C) The function F(x) for 0 < x < 5, the block's initial velocity, and the value of F(f).

(D) The function a(t) for the time interval of travel, the time it takes the block to move 5 m, and the value of F(f).

(E) The block's initial velocity, the time it takes the block to move 5 m, and the value of F(f).

We know that,

The work done by a force is given by,

W=\int_{x_{0}}^{x_{f}}{F(x)\ dx}.....(I)

Where, F(x) = net force

We know, the net force is the sum of forces.

So, \sum{F}=ma

According to question,

We have two forces F(x) and F(f)

So, the sum of these forces are

F(x)+(-F(f))=ma

Here, frictional force is negative because F(f) acts against the F(x)

Now put the value in equation (I)

W=\int_{x_{0}}^{x_{f}}{(F(x)-F(f))dx}

We need to find the value of \int_{x_{0}}^{x_{f}}{(F(x)-F(f))dx}

Using newton's second law

\int_{x_{0}}^{x_{f}}{(F(x)-F(f))dx}=\int_{x_{0}}^{x_{f}}{ma\ dx}...(II)

We know that,

Acceleration is rate of change of velocity.

a=\dfrac{dv}{dt}

Put the value of a in equation (II)

\int_{x_{0}}^{x_{f}}{(F(x)-F(f))dx}=\int_{x_{0}}^{x_{f}}{m\dfrac{dv}{dt}dx}

\int_{x_{0}}^{x_{f}}{(F(x)-F(f))dx}=\int_{v_{0}}^{v_{f}}{mv\ dv}

\int_{x_{0}}^{x_{f}}{(F(x)-F(f))dx}=\dfrac{mv_{f}^2}{2}+\dfrac{mv_{0}^2}{2}

Now, the work done by the net force on the block is,

W=\dfrac{mv_{f}^2}{2}+\dfrac{mv_{0}^2}{2}

The work done by the net force on the block is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the block.

Hence, The function F(x) for 0 < x < 5, the block's initial velocity, and the value of F(f).

(C) is correct option.

A 7.94-nC charge is located 1.77 m from a 4.14-nC point charge. (a) Find the magnitude of the electrostatic force that one charg
STatiana [176]

Answer:

F=94.32*10⁻⁹N  , The force F is repusilve because both charges have the same sign (+)

Explanation:

Two point charges (q₁, q₂) separated by a distance (d) exert a mutual force (F) whose magnitude is determined by the following formula:  

F=K*q₁*q₂/d² Formula (1)  

F: Electric force in Newtons (N)

K : Coulomb constant in N*m²/C²

q₁,q₂:Charges in Coulombs (C)  

d: distance between the charges in meters(m)

Equivalence  

1nC= 10⁻⁹C

Data

K=8.99x10⁹N*m²/C²

q₁ = 7.94-nC= 7.94*10⁻⁹C

q₂= 4.14-nC=  4.14 *10⁻⁹C

d= 1.77 m

Magnitude of the electrostatic force that one charge exerts on the other

We apply formula (1):

F=8.99x10^{9} *\frac{7.94*10^{-9} *4.14 *10^{-9} }{1.77^{2} }

F=94.32*10⁻⁹N  , The force F is repusilve because both charges have the same sign (+)

Ice fishermen sit on top of frozen lakes in the winter and catch fish in the liquid water below through holes cut in the ice she
melomori [17]

Answer:

This is because below 4°c, water unlike other materials becomes less dense when it's temperature is further lowered.

Explanation:

Due to the unusual nature of water; at about 4°c, the behavior of the density of water in relation to its temperature reverses. This means that water becomes less dense as it becomes colder below 4°c. The colder parts therefore floats to the top of the water body while the warmer part sinks allowing the top to freeze and the remaining body below to remain in its liquid state.

The freezing of the top of the lake alone protects the remaining depth of water from freezing by acting as an insulator and preventing further heat loss from the water to the ambient space. If this had not been the case, and water froze all through, marine lives will freeze to death and it will be more difficult to melt the ice come the next summer.

This behavior is due to the hydrogen bonding of the water molecules.

A 0.14-km wide river flows with a uniform speed of 4.0 m/s toward the east. It takes 20 s for a boat to cross the river to a poi
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

The right approach is "8.1 m/s". A further explanation is provided below.

Explanation:

According to the table,

Speed of Boat

= \frac{s}{t}

V_b=\frac{140}{20}

V_a = 4 \ m/s

V_B = 7 \ m/s

Now,

⇒  (V_{relative})^2 = (7)^2+(4)^2

or,

⇒  (V_r)^2=49+16

              =65

         V_r=\sqrt{65}

              =8.1 \ m/s
