Answer:
1. 10.0 J
2. 0.742 m/s
3. 0.494 m/s
4. 0.0249 m
Explanation:
(1/4) The elastic energy in a spring is:
EE = ½ k x²
EE = ½ (502 N/m) (0.2 m)²
EE ≈ 10.0 J
(2/4) The energy in the spring is converted to kinetic energy in the block and work by friction.
EE = KE + W
EE = ½ m v² + Fd
10.0 J = ½ (8 kg) v² + (8 kg × 9.8 m/s² × 0.5) (0.2 m)
v ≈ 0.742 m/s
(3/4) Momentum is conserved.
Momentum before = momentum after
(8 kg) (0.742 m/s) = (8 kg + 4 kg) v
v ≈ 0.494 m/s
(4/4) The kinetic energy of the blocks is converted to work by friction.
KE = W
½ m v² = Fd
½ (8 kg + 4 kg) (0.494 m/s)² = ((8 kg + 4 kg) × 9.8 m/s² × 0.5) d
d ≈ 0.0249 m
If you're given the force and the length of time that the force acted,
then you can determine momentum, with units of [mass-length/time].
Without more information, you can't determine power, watts, energy,
joules, or distance.
Answer:
The mass of the person would remain 600kg.
Explanation:
mass refers to the amount of matter in a particular object. therefore even though the moon has less gravitational force than the Earths, it still would have the same mass since the person is made up of the same amount of matter on Earth and in the moon.
when asked about weight, it would be 1000N. but in mass , same 600kg.
