A block of mass 4 kilograms is initially moving at 5m/s on a horizontal surface. There is friction between the block and the sur

face which causes the block to come to a complete stop. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface is 0.5.
Calculate the distance the block slides while coming to a stop. Show all work.

• Net vertical force on the block:

∑ <em>F</em> = <em>n</em> - <em>w</em> = 0

(<em>n</em> = magnitude of normal force, <em>w</em> = weight)

<em>n</em> = <em>w</em> = <em>m g</em>

(<em>m</em> = mass, <em>g</em> = 9.8 m/s²)

<em>n</em> = (4 kg) (9.8 m/s²) = 39.2 N

• Net horizontal force:

∑ <em>F</em> = -<em>f</em> = <em>m a</em>

(<em>f</em> = mag. of friction, <em>a</em> = acceleration)

We have <em>f</em> = <em>µ</em> <em>n</em> = 0.5 (39.2 N) = 19.6 N, so

-19.6 N = (4 kg) <em>a</em>

<em>a</em> = -4.9 m/s²

With this acceleration, the block comes to a rest from an initial speed of 5 m/s, so that it travels a distance ∆<em>x</em> in this time such that

0² - (5 m/s)² = 2 (-4.9 m/s²) ∆<em>x</em>

∆<em>x</em> = (25 m²/s²) / (9.8 m/s²) ≈ 2.55 m ≈ 2.6 m

The moon Umbriel orbits Uranus (mass = 8.68 x 10^25 kg) at a distance of 2.66 x 10^8 m. What is Umbriel's orbital period (in hou
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

T = 99.51 hour

Explanation:

Mass of Uranus, M=8.68\times 10^{25}\ kg

The moon Umbriel orbits Uranus at a distance of 2.66\times 10^8\ m

We need to find Umbriel's orbital period. Let it is T. Using Kepler's third law of motion to find it.

T^2\propto r^3\\\\T^2=\dfrac{4\pi^2r^3}{GM}\\\\T^2=\dfrac{4\pi^2\times (2.66\times 10^8)^3}{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 8.68\times 10^{25}}\\\\T=358244.51\ s

As 1 hour = 3600 s

358244.51 s = 99.51 hour

Hence, Umbriel's orbital period is 99.51 hour.

The acceleration of a moving vehicles is 10 metre per second square what does it means ​
pochemuha

Answer:

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. What is commonly said as ‘ten meter per second squared’ can bee broken down into ‘ten meter per second per second.’ This gives us the true meaning of the term acceleration.

Just like ‘ten meter per second’ means increasing the displacement by ten meters every second, ‘ten meter per second per second’ means increasing the velocity by ten meters per second every second.

So, basically if you consider the case of a free fall motion, where ‘t’ stands for time and ‘v’ stand for velocity at that instant:

At,

t=0, v=0 m/s

t=1, v=0+10 m/s;

t=2, v=0+10+10 m/s;

t=3, v=0+10+10+10 m/s;

This can also be thought as a Arithmetic Progression where common difference ‘D’ is the acceleration(a), since it adds a 10 m/s to velocity every second and the first term ‘A’ stands for the initial velocity (u). Using this approach we can derive to the first equation of motion:

v = u + at

If two conductors are not touching but are close to each other, a large enough voltage will cause an _________________ to occur
Aleks [24]

Answer:

Electrical breakdown.

Explanation:

When two conductors are relatively close enough, and have a very large voltage between them, it can lead to a Dielectric breakdown. A dielectric breakdown occurs when an insulator is subjected to a high enough voltage, suddenly becomes an electrical conductor and electric current flows through it. The air between the conductors is the insulator that breaks down, leading to an electrical discharge arc to flow between the two conductors. This electrical breakdown can cause catastrophic failure of electrical equipment, and fire hazards.
