A block of mass m1 = 3.5 kg moves with velocity v1 = 6.3 m/s on a frictionless surface. it collides with block of mass m2 = 1.7

kg which is initially stationary. the blocks stick together and encounter a rough surface. the blocks eventually come to a stop after traveling a distance d = 1.85 m . what is the coefficient of kinetic friction on the rough surface? μk =

First, let's find the speed v_i of the two blocks m1 and m2 sticked together after the collision.
We can use the conservation of momentum to solve this part. Initially, block 2 is stationary, so only block 1 has momentum different from zero, and it is:
p_i = m_1 v_1
After the collision, the two blocks stick together and so now they have mass m_1 +m_2 and they are moving with speed v_i:
p_f = (m_1 + m_2)v_i
For conservation of momentum
p_i=p_f
So we can write
m_1 v_1 = (m_1 +m_2)v_i
From which we find
v_i =  \frac{m_1 v_1}{m_1+m_2}= \frac{(3.5 kg)(6.3 m/s)}{3.5 kg+1.7 kg}=4.2 m/s

The two blocks enter the rough path with this velocity, then they are decelerated because of the frictional force \mu (m_1+m_2)g. The work done by the frictional force to stop the two blocks is
\mu (m_1+m_2)g  d
where d is the distance covered by the two blocks before stopping.
The initial kinetic energy of the two blocks together, just before entering the rough path, is
\frac{1}{2} (m_1+m_2)v_i^2
When the two blocks stop, all this kinetic energy is lost, because their velocity becomes zero; for the work-energy theorem, the loss in kinetic energy must be equal to the work done by the frictional force:
\frac{1}{2} (m_1+m_2)v_i^2 =\mu (m_1+m_2)g  d
From which we can find the value of the coefficient of kinetic friction:
\mu =  \frac{v_i^2}{2gd}= \frac{(4.2 m/s)^2}{2(9.81 m/s^2)(1.85 m)}=0.49

Two charges, each q, are separated by a distance r, and exert mutual attractive forces of F on each other. If both charges becom
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

F = ⅔ F₀

Explanation:

For this exercise we use Coulomb's law

         F = k q₁q₂ / r²

let's use the subscript "o" for the initial conditions

          F₀ = k q² / r²

now the charge changes q₁ = q₂ = 2q and the new distance is r = 3 r

       

we substitute

          F = k 4q² / 9 r²

          F = k q² r² 4/9

          F = ⅔ F₀
