A 4.0kg block is sliding with a constant velocity of 3.0m/s on a frictionless table that is 0.5m high. If all of the block’s ene
MArishka [77]

Answer:

Velocity = 4.33[m/s]

Explanation:

The total energy or mechanical energy is the sum of the potential energy plus the kinetic energy, as it is known the velocity and the height, we can determine the total energy.

E_{M}=E_{p}  + E_{k} \\E_{p} = potential energy [J]\\E_{k} = kinetic energy [J]\\where:\\E_{p} =m*g*h\\E_{p} = 4*9.81*0.5=19.62[J]\\E_{k}=\frac{1}{2} *m*v^{2}  \\E_{k}=\frac{1}{2} *4*(3)^{2} \\E_{k}=18[J]\\Therefore\\E_{M} =18+19.62\\E_{M}=37.62[J]

All this energy will become kinetic energy and we can find the velocity.

37.62=\frac{1}{2} *m*v^{2} \\v=\sqrt{\frac{37.62*2}{4} } \\v=4.33[m/s]

Answer:

D, I think.

Explanation:

I had a quiz in Plate Tectonics and there was 2 questions that are related to this, but not the exact question.

Which material rises from cracks in oceanic crust

-molten rock

Which is the first step in the seafloor spreading process?

-a crack forms in oceanic crust.

those are all right btw, so you can decide if the answer I told you is right or not.

A scientist is examining an unknown solid. Which procedure would most likely help determine a chemical property of the substance
Neporo4naja [7]
<span>procedure would most likely help determine a chemical property of the substance is : exposing it to a flame to see if it catches on fire Chemical property is the characteristic that a substance has that differntiate it with another substance. The most common charatcteristics that most scientists wanted to know are : - It's flamability - It's radioactivity - Its toxicity By throwing the object into fire, we will easily find out these 3 characteristics</span>
