A block slides along a frictionless surface with 220 J of kinetic energy. It then goes up a frictionless ramp. When the kinetic

energy drops to 55 J, how much gravitational potential energy does the block have?

Hello!

For the explanation of this energy conservation exercise, where we'll use <u>energy conservation law</u>, let's see what this principle proposes.

How you should know, mechanical energy conserves in every point, that is to say mechanical energy is same in A point like B point. (Mechanical energy will be represented by "Me")

Once time we know that, let's take the 220 Joules momentum like A point, and when 55 Joules momentum like B point.

Then, let's use the <u>energy conservation principle:</u>

Me(A) = Me(B)

  • We know Mechanical energy in A point, so just lets replace according to our data:

220 J = Me(B)

  • In B point, we know kinetic energy, but <u>we dont know gravitational potential energy</u>, so lets descompose Mechanical energy, into kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy:

220 J = Ke + Gpe

  • We know kinetic energy value, so lets replace it:

220 J = 55 J + Gpe

  • Finally, just clean Gpe and resolve it:

Gpe = 220 J - 55 J = 165 J

Gravitational potential energy is of One hundred sixty five Joules <u>(165 J).</u>

A block with m = 300 grams oscillates at the end of a linear spring with k = 6.5 N/m. (assume this is a top-down view and the bl
inna [77]

Answer:

a) T=1.35s

b) amplitude = 0.0923m

Explanation:

m=300 gr

k=6.5 N/m

first we need to get the angular frequency of the motion

so we have that

ω = √(k/m)

in this case motion is a simple harmonic so the period is defined by:

T= 2π / ω

T= 2π / √(k/m)

replacing the variables...

T= 2π / √(6.5/0.3)

T=1.35s   (period of the block's motion)

and...

α max = | ω²r max |

2 = (2π/1.35)² * r max

r max= 0.0923m

A person carries a plank of wood 2.00 m long with one hand pushing down on it at one end with a force f1 and the other hand hold
slega [8]

Answer:


F₁ = 4,120.2 N


F₂ = 3,924N


Explanation:



1) Balance of angular momentum around the end where F₁ is applied.


F₂ × 0.5m - F₁ × 0 = mass × g × 1m


⇒ F2 × 0.5 m= 20 kg × 9.81 m/s² × 1 m = 1,962 N×m


F₂ = 196.2 Nm / 0.5m = 3,924 N


2) Balance of forces


F₁ - F₂ = mg


F₁ = F₂ + mg = 3,924N + 20kg (9.81 m/s²) = 4,120.2 N

A student placed a ladder up against a wall as shown below. The normal force applied by the wall in the ladder will be directed:

The normal force is always perpendicular to the surface. So it would be straight to the left of the wall

Which statement is true? A. A resistor alters current and a switch turns current on and off B. A resistor measures voltage, and
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

A. A resistor alters current and a switch turns current on and off

Explanation:

Resistor is the passive component that reduces the flow of current. Switch is the electrical device that turns on or off the current by closing and opening the electrical circuit.

Thus option A. A resistor alters current and a switch turns current on and off  is correct.
