A 6 kilogram block in outer space is moving at -100 m/s (to the left). It suddenly experiences three forces as shown below (in t

he attachment). What is the block’s displacement when it finally comes to rest?

Answer:

x = 1474.9 [m]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use Newton's second law, which tells us that the sum of forces must be equal to the product of mass by acceleration.

We must understand that when forces are applied on the body, they tend to slow the body down to stop it.

So as the body continues to move to the left, it is slowing down. Therefore we must calculate this deceleration value using Newton's second law. We must perform a sum of forces on the x-axis equal to the product of mass by acceleration. With leftward movement as negative and rightward forces as positive.

ΣF = m*a

10 +12*sin(60)= - 6*a\\a = - 3.39[m/s^{2}]

Now using the following equation of kinematics, we can calculate the distance of the block, before stopping completely. The initial speed must be 100 [m/s].

v_{f}^{2} =v_{o}^{2}-2*a*x

where:

Vf = final velocity = 0 (the block stops)

Vo = initial velocity = 100 [m/s]

a = - 3.39 [m/s²]

x = displacement [m]

0 = 100^{2}-2*3.39*x\\x=\frac{10000}{2*3.39}\\x=1474.9[m]

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

57 N

Explanation:

Force on a current carrying conductor in a magnetic field

B = 12 X 10⁻⁴ T

= Bil where B is magnetic field , i is current and l is length of conductor

force required = 12 x10⁻⁴ x 47500 x 1

= 57 N

denpristay [2]

Answer:

1:4

Explanation:

The formula for calculating kinetic energy is:

KE=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

If the mass is multiplied by 4, then, the kinetic energy must be increased by 4 as well. Since they will be travelling at the same speed when they are at the same point, the relation between KA and KB must be 1:4 or 1/4. Hope this helps!

What is always true of a liquid's shape and volume?
Natalija [7]
Molecules of liquid are far away from each other but less compared to gas. Liquid has the ability to flow. Liquid molecules can move. Liquid occupies the shape of the container. Thus, they do not have fixed shape. Liquid has fixed volume because they are not compressible(easily)
