Answer:

Petroleum is a nonrenewable resource. This being because it is a natural gas that take millions of years for it to reform which means each part of it is a once in a lifetime use.

I NEED PHYSICS HELP? THE QUESTION IS IN THE PIC

Speed of the block at the bottom of the incline: 5.42 m/s

The first part of the problem can be solved by using the law of conservation of energy. Since the ramp is frictionless, the initial gravitational potential energy of the block at the top of the ramp is converted into kinetic energy at the bottom:

$mgh = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$ (1)

where

m is the mass of the block

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

h is the initial height of the block

v is the speed of the block at the bottom

The initial height of the block is equal to the height of the ramp, so

$h=L sin \theta$ (2)

where

L = 3.00 m is the length of the ramp

$\theta=30^{\circ}$ is the angle of the ramp

Substituting (2) into (1) and re-arranging the equation, we find the speed

$2gL sin \theta = v^2$

$v=\sqrt{2gL sin \theta}=\sqrt{2(9.8)(3.00)sin 30^{\circ}}=5.42 m/s$

Coefficient of kinetic friction between the floor and the block: 0.3

In the second part of the motion, the block is slowed down by friction along the flat surface. According to the work-energy theorem, the work done by friction is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the block:

$W=\Delta K=K_f -K_i$

where

W is the work done by friction

Kf is the final kinetic energy of the block, which is zero since the block comes to rest

$K_i = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$ is the initial kinetic energy of the block, where

m = 10.0 kg is the mass of the block

v = 5.42 m/s is its initial speed

Substituting into the equation, we find

$W=-\frac{1}{2}mv^2=-\frac{1}{2}(10.0)(5.42)^2=-146.9 J$

and the work is negative, since the direction of the force of friction is opposite to the direction of motion of the block.

Now we can rewrite the work as the product between the force of friction and the displacement of the block:

$W=-F_f d = - \mu mg d$

where

$\mu$ is the coefficient of friction

d = 5.00 m is the displacement of the block

Solving for $\mu$ ,

$\mu = - \frac{W}{mgd}=-\frac{-146.9}{(10.0)(9.8)(5.00)}=0.3$

KatRina [158]

Answer:

Not the right answer in the options, speed is 4.47 m/s, and the procedure is coherent with option A

Explanation:

Answer A uses mass and velocity units, which are momentum units. By using the conservation of momentum:

. $p_{initial} =p_{final} \\m_{Tom}*v_{Tom}+m_{raft}*v_{raft}=(m_{Tom}+m_{raft})*v_{both} \\70*10+130*1.5 kg*m/s=895kg*m/s\\v_{both}=\frac{895 kg*m/s}{200 kg} =4.47 m/s$

Since Tom stays in the raft, then both are moving with the same speed. From the options, the momentum is in agreement with option A, however, the question asks for speed.

juin [17]

Answer:

Following are the solution to this question:

Explanation:

Law:

$\to \theta= 180^{\circ}- 50^{\circ}- 25^{\circ}$

$= 180^{\circ}- 75^{\circ}\\\\= 105^{\circ}$

$\to \frac{T_{L}}{\sin (90+50)}= \frac{T_{R}}{\sin (25+90)}=\frac{1400}{\sin (105)}$

$\to T_L=931.65 \ pounds \\\\ \to T_R=1313.59 \ pounds \\\\$

melomori [17]

Answer:

C. chemical energy from the batteries

Explanation:

Remote-controlled car or commonly called RC cars are toy vehicles that are controlled or propelled to move from a distance by a wire-connected remote that sends radiowaves to the receiver. According to this question involving the remote-controlled car Lena is playing with, a transmitter from the remote propels the wheel and axle to make the car move.

The car contains a battery cell that uses it's chemical energy as a source of power for the wheel and axle system. Hence, the chemical energy from the batteries of a remote-controlled car powers the wheel and axle to make the car move.
