Answer:

the earth isn't a cracked hard boiled egg, but I'd guess they mean layers. A thin shell/crust and the yolk and whites of the egg represent layers of the earth

A cord is used to vertically lower an initially stationary block of mass M = 3.6 kg at a constant downward acceleration of g/7.

dalvyx [7]

Answer:

(a) $W_c=127.008 J$

(b) $W_g=148.176 J$

(c) K.E. = 21.168 J

(d) $v=3.4293m.s^{-1}$

Explanation:

Given:

mass of a block, M = 3.6 kg

initial velocity of the block, $u=0 m.s^{-1}$

constant downward acceleration, $a_d= \frac{g}{7}$

$\Rightarrow$ That a constant upward acceleration of $\frac{6g}{7}$ is applied in the presence of gravity.

∴ $a=- \frac{6g}{7}$

height through which the block falls, d = 4.2 m

(a)

Force by the cord on the block,

$F_c= M\times a$

$F_c=3.6\times (-6)\times\frac{9.8}{7}$

$F_c=-30.24 N$

∴Work by the cord on the block,

$W_c= F_c\times d$

$W_c= -30.24\times 4.2$

We take -ve sign because the direction of force and the displacement are opposite to each other.

$W_c=-127.008 J$

(b)

Force on the block due to gravity:

$F_g= M.g$

∵the gravity is naturally a constant and we cannot change it

$F_g=3.6\times 9.8$

$F_g=35.28 N$

∴Work by the gravity on the block,

$W_g=F_g\times d$

$W_g=35.28\times 4.2$

$W_g=148.176 J$

(c)

Kinetic energy of the block will be equal to the net work done i.e. sum of the two works.

mathematically:

$K.E.= W_g+W_c$

$K.E.=148.176-127.008$

K.E. = 21.168 J

(d)

From the equation of motion:

$v^2=u^2+2a_d\times d$

putting the respective values:

$v=\sqrt{0^2+2\times \frac{9.8}{7}\times 4.2 }$

$v=3.4293m.s^{-1}$ is the speed when the block has fallen 4.2 meters.

g A 1.45-kg block is pushed against a vertical wall by means of a spring (k = 860 N/m). The coefficient of static friction betwe

olga_2 [115]

Answer:

The minimum compression is $x= 0.046m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of the block is $m_b = 1.45 kg$

The spring constant is $k = 860 N/m$

The coefficient of static friction is $\mu = 0.36$

For the the block not slip it mean the sum of forces acting on the horizontal axis is equal to the forces acting on the vertical axis

Now the force acting on the vertical axis is the force due to gravity which is mathematically given as

$F_y = m_b*g$

And the force acting on the horizontal axis is force due to the spring which is mathematically represented as

$F_x = k *x * \mu$

where x is the minimum compression to keep the block from slipping

Now equating this two formulas and making x the subject

$x = \frac{m_b * g}{k * \mu}$

substituting values we have

$x = \frac{1.45 * 9.8}{860 *0.36}$

$x= 0.046m$

how much does a bookshelf weigh if the movers are pushing it at a speed of 10 m/s^2 by applying 100 N force

Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

10 kg

Explanation:

Assuming a frictionless surface, then force F=ma where F is the applied force, m is the mass and a is acceleration. Making m the subject of the formula then $m=\frac {F}{a}$
