a 13kg block is at rest on a level floor. A 400 g glob of putty is thrown at the block so that the putty travels horizontally, h

its the block, at sticks to it. The block and putty slide 15cm along the floor. if the coefficient of sliding friction is 0.4, what is the initial speed of the putty

Answer:

36.3m/s

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of block, m=13 kg

Mass of glob,m'=400g=0.4 kg

1 kg=1000g

Total mass, M=13+0.4=13.4 kg

Distance, s=15 cm=0.15m

1m=100cm

Coefficient of sliding friction, \mu=0.4

We have to find the initial speed of the putty.

Friction force, f=\mu Mg=0.4\times 13.4\times 9.8N

Where g=9.8m/s^2

Work done=Fs

Work done=0.4\times 13.4\times 9.8\times 0.15

Work done=7.8792 J

Work done =K.E=1/2 MV^2

7.8792=\frac{1}{2}(13.4)V^2

V^2=7.8792\times 2/13.4=1.176

V=1.0844m/s

Using conservation of linear momentum

mu+ m'v=MV

13(0)+0.4v=13.4(1.0844)

0.4v=14.53

v=\frac{14.53}{0.4}

v=36.3m/s

Hence, the initial speed of the putty=36.3m/s

A point charge with charge q1 = 3.40 μC is held stationary at the origin. A second point charge with charge q2 = -4.90 μC moves
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

-0.79 J

Explanation:

We are given that

q_1=3.4\mu C=3.4\times 10^{-6} C

1\mu C=10^{-6} C

q_2=-4.9\mu C=-4.9\times 10^{-6} C

x_1=0.125,y_1=0

x_2=0.280,y_2=0.235

We have to find the work done by the electric force on the moving point charge.

r_1=\sqrt{x^2_1+y^2_1}=\sqrt{(0.125)^2+0}=0.125

r_2=\sqrt{(0.280)^2+(0.235)^2}=0.366

Work done,W=kq_1q_2(\frac{1}{r_1}-\frac{1}{r_2})

Where k=9\times 10^9

Using the formula

W=9\times 10^9\times 3.4\times 10^{-6}\times(-4.9\times 10^{-6})(\frac{1}{0.125}-\frac{1}{0.366})

W=-0.79 J

The force on the spring is F0 and it stores elastic potential energy PEs0. If the spring displacement is tripled to 3x0, determi
Dimas [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let initial extension in the spring= x₀

Force on the spring = F₀

Let spring constant = k

Fo = k x₀

Fn = 3k x₀

Fn /Fo = 3

PEs0 ( ORIGINAL)  =1/2 k x₀²

PEsn ( NEW)  =1/2 k (3x₀)²

PEsn / PEs0 = 9

What can increase the gravitational potential energy of a object
love history [14]

Answer:

Increase in mass and height

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy of an object can increase if the mass and height of object is increased.

Gravitational potential energy is the energy due to the position of a body.

It is expressed as:

  Gravitational potential energy = mass x acceleration due gravity x height

Increasing mass and height will cause an increase in gravitational potential energy.
