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= $\mu Mg=0.4\times 13.4\times 9.8$ N

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 10.0 cm object is 5.0 cm from a concave mirror that has a focal length of 12 cm. What is the distance between the image and th

fiasKO [112]

Let's use the mirror equation to solve the problem:
$\frac{1}{f}= \frac{1}{d_o}+ \frac{1}{d_i}$
where f is the focal length of the mirror, $d_o$ the distance of the object from the mirror, and $d_i$ the distance of the image from the mirror.
For a concave mirror, for the sign convention f is considered to be positive. So we can solve the equation for $d_i$ by using the numbers given in the text of the problem:
$\frac{1}{12 cm}= \frac{1}{5 cm}+ \frac{1}{d_i}$
$\frac{1}{d_i}= -\frac{7}{60 cm}$
$d_i = -8.6 cm$
Where the negative sign means that the image is virtual, so it is located behind the mirror, at 8.6 cm from the center of the mirror.

An insulating sphere is 8.00 cm in diameter and carries a 6.50 ÂµC charge uniformly distributed throughout its interior volume.

Kobotan [32]

Explanation:

(a) Formula to calculate the density is as follows.

$\rho = \frac{Q}{\frac{4}{3}\pi a^{3}}$

= $\frac{6.50 \times 10^{-6}}{\frac{4}{3} \times 3.14 \times (0.04)^{3}}$

= $2.42 \times 10^{-2} C/m^{3}$

Now, calculate the charge as follows.

$q_{in} = \rho(\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3})$

= $2.42 \times 10^{-2} C/m^{3} \times 4.1762 \times (0.01)^{3}$

= $10.106 \times 10^{-8}$ C

or, = 101.06 nC

(b) For r = 6.50 cm, the value of charge will be calculated as follows.

$q_{in} = \frac{Q}{\frac{4}{3}\pi a^{3}}$

= $\frac{6.50 \times 10^{-6}}{\frac{4}{3} \times 3.14 \times (0.065)^{3}}$

= 7.454 $\mu C$

Which scientific law describes the relationship between action and reaction force pairs? Newton's third law of motion Kepler's l

Hitman42 [59]

Newton's third law of motion

Explanation:

Newton's third law of motion states that:

<em>"When an object A exerts a force on an object B (action force), then object B exerts an equal and opposite force (reaction force) on object A"</em>

It is important to note that this law is always valid, even when it seems it is not.

Consider for example the gravitational force that the Earth exerts on your body (= your weight). We can say that this is the action force. It may seems that there is no reaction force in this case. However, this is not true: in fact, your body also exerts an equal and opposite force on the Earth, and this is the reaction force. The reason that explains why we don't notice any effect on Earth due to this force is that the mass of the Earth is much larger than your mass, therefore the acceleration produced on the Earth because of the force you apply is negligible.

It is also important to note that the action-reaction pair of forces always act on two different objects, so they never appear in the same free-body diagram.

il63 [147K]

When developing an experimental design, the action that would improve the quality of the results is to ensure that it answers a question about cause and effect.

<h3>What is experimental design?</h3>

Experimental design is a concept used to organize, conduct, and interpret results of experiments in an efficient way, making sure that as much useful information as possible is obtained by performing a small number of trials.

Thus, when developing an experimental design, the action that would improve the quality of the results is to ensure that it answers a question about cause and effect.
