Answer:

<em>500Joules</em>

Explanation:

Kinetic energy = 1/2mv²

m is the mass of the wood

v is the velocity

Given

Mass = 10kg

Velocity v = 10m/s

Substitute into the formula and get KE

KE = 1/2 * 10 * 10²

KE  = 1/2 * 1000

KE = 500Joules

<em>Hence the kinetic energy of the wood during delivery is 500Joules</em>

Why do you lurch forward in a bus that suddenly slows? why do you lurch backward when it picks up speed? what law applies here?
AveGali [126]
The law applied here is Newton's first law, also known as, law of inertia.
This law states that: A body will retain its state of rest or motion unless acted upon by an external force.

If you are moving and the bus suddenly stops, your body will lurch forward trying to retain its state of motion until it comes to rest and changes its state by the external force acted on it.

If you are at rest and the bus suddenly moves, your body will lurch backwards trying to retain its state of rest and opposing the force of motion until it is forced to change its state by this force.

A block of mass 2 kg slides down a frictionless ramp of length 1.3 m tilted at an angle 25o to the horizontal. At the bottom of
marin [14]

Answer:

Diagrams in pictures

Explanation:

Using energy I can get

m g h = 1/2 m v^2

So the velocity at the end of the ramp is the squareroot of two times the initial height of the box times the gravity constant.

(H= 1,3m sin25)

V=2,32m/s

V= a t

And

X= v t +1/2 a t^2

Knowing v=2,32 m/s and x= 1,3 m

I can get

a= 6,21m/s2

F= m a

I can get the force of the box when it collides with the spring

F= 12, 425 N

The force the spring makes on the box then is

F = -12,425N = -k d

Then the spring's constant is k= 51,75N/m

To make the two diagrams I need the functions of time when the box slows down

I use the same two equations

V= a t

And

X= v t + 1/2 a t^2

Being now 2,32 my initial velocity and 0 my final velocity, and my distance 0,24 m.

I get there the time t=0,0689 seconds and the acceleration a= -33,67 m/s2 (negative because it's slowing down).

Then,

V(t)= - 33,67 m/s2 t for time between 0 and 0,689 sec

X(t)= 2,32 m/s t + 1/2 33,67 m/s2 t^2.

for time between 0 and 0,689 sec

Diagrams and equations are in the pictures

A(n) 30 kg boy rides a roller coaster. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . With what force does he press against the seat
forsale [732]

Answer:

Force, F = 187.42 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of boy, m = 30 kg

Acceleration due to gravity, a=9.8\ m/s^2

Radius of curvature of the roller coaster, r = 15 m

Speed of the car, v = 7.3 m/s

The force acting on the boy are force of gravity and the centripetal force. The net force acting on him is as follows :

F=mg-\dfrac{mv^2}{r}

F=m(g-\dfrac{v^2}{r})

F=30\times (9.8-\dfrac{(7.3)^2}{15})

F = 187.42 N

So, he press against the seat with a force is 187.42 N. Hence, this is the required solution.
