In a contest, two tractors pull two identical blocks of stone thesame distance over identical surfaces. However, block A is movi
1 answer:
Answer:
d) Both blocks have had equal losses of energy to friction
Explanation:
As it is mentioned in the question that two tractors pull two same stone blocks having the identical distance over the same surfaces
Moreover, the block A is twice as fast than block B at the time of crossing the finish line
So based on the above information, it contains the losses of identical friction
And we also know that
Friction energy loss is
It would be the same for both the blocks
hence, the option d is correct

(a) 25.2 m/s
Let's take the initial vertical position of the rock as "zero" (reference height).
According to the law of conservation of energy, the speed of the rock as it reaches again the position "zero" after being thrown upwards is equal to the initial speed of the rock, 21 m/s (in fact, if there is no air resistance, no energy can be lost during the motion; and since the kinetic energy depends only on the speed of the rock:
and the gravitational potential energy of the rock has not changed, since the rock has returned into its initial position, it means that the speed of the rock should be the same)
This means that we can only analyze the final part of the motion, the one in which the rock falls into the 10 m hole. Since it is a free fall motion, we can find the final speed by using
where
u = 21 m/s is the initial speed of the rock as it enters the hole
g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity
d = 10 m is the depth of the hole
Substituting,
(b) 4.72 s
The vertical position of the rock at time t is given by
where
is the initial vertical velocity
Substituting y(t)=-10 m, we can then solve the equation for t to find the time at which the rock reaches the bottom of the hole:
which has two solutions:
t = -0.43 s --> negative, so we discard it
t = 4.72 s --> this is our solution
