A 55-kg block, starting from rest, is pushed a distance of 5.0 m across a floor by a horizontal force Fp whose magnitude is 140

N. Fp is parallel to the displacement of the block. The final speed of the block is 2.35 m/s.

Answer:

The answer is "151.25 J and -547.64 J".

Explanation:

u = 0\\\\v = 2.35\  \frac{m}{sec}\\\\d = 5.0 \ m\\\\

Using formula:

v^2 = u^2 + 2 \times a \times d\\\\2.35^2 = 0^2 + 2 \times a \times 5\\\\a = \frac{2.35^2}{10} \\\\

   = 0.55 \ \frac{m}{sec^2}\\\\

F_{net} = m \times a\\\\F_{net} = 55 \times 0.55 = 30.25\ N\\\\

Calculating the Work by net force

W = F_{net}\times d\\\\W = 30.25 \times 5 = 151.25 \ J\\\\

The above work is converted into thermal energy.

Now,

F_{net} = F_p - F_f\\\\F_p = 140 \ N\\\\F_f = u_k\times m \times g = u_k \times 55 \times 9.81\\\\F_f = 539.55 \times u_k\\\\30.25 = 140 - u_k \times 55 \times 9.81\\\\u_k = \frac{(140 - 30.25)}{(55\times 9.81)}\\\\uk = 0.203 = \text{Coefficient of friction}\\\\W_f = -F_f \times d\\\\W_f = -0.203 \times 55 \times 9.81 \times 5\\\\Work\ done\  by\ friction = -547.64 \ J

An action force is 40 N to the right. The reaction force must be: A. 20 N left B. 40 N left C. 20 N right D. 40 N right
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

The answer to your question is letter B.

Explanation:

To answer this question, we must remember the third law of motion of Newton that states that For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Then, if the action force is 40 N to the right, the reaction force must be 40 N to the left.
