An applied force accelerates a 4.00 kg block to an initial velocity of 11 m/s across a rough horizontal surface, in the positive

x direction. As the block reaches 11 m/s, the applied force is removed. The block then slows to 1.5 m/s at a distance of 4.00 m beyond where the applied force was removed. Determine the magnitude and the direction of the non-conservative force acting on the box as it slides.

The only force opposing the block's sliding as it slows down is friction with magnitude <em>f </em>. By Newton's second law, the net force in this direction is

∑ <em>F</em> = -<em>f</em> = <em>ma</em> = (4.00 kg) <em>a</em>

Assuming constant acceleration <em>a </em>, the acceleration applied by friction is such that

(1.5 m/s)² - (11 m/s)² = 2<em>a</em> (4.00 m)

Solve for the acceleration :

<em>a</em> = ((1.5 m/s)² - (11 m/s)²) / (8.00 m) ≈ -14.8 m/s²

Then the frictional force exerted a magnitude of

-<em>f</em> = (4.00 kg) (-14.8 m/s²)

<em>f</em> ≈ 59.4 N

and was directed opposite the block's motion.

How might you describe the mathematical procedure of finding the displacement when an object travels in two opposite directions?
levacccp [35]
Displacement is a vector quantity. So, you incorporate the vector calculations when you try to determine the resultant vector. This is the shortest path from the starting point to the endpoint. If they are moving on one axis only, you use sign conventions. For motions moving to the left, use the negative sign. If it's moving to the right, then use the positive sign. Now, it the object moves 2 km to the left, and 2 km also to the right, the displacement is zero.

Displacement = 2 km - 2km = 0

Generally, the equation is:
<span>Displacement = Distance of motion to the right - Distance of motion to the left</span>

First off, you need to know the weight of the projectile, lift and drag coefficients something like a high Reynolds number is preferred, then use the gravitational constant of 9.8 meters per second squared those would be a good start to get closer to your goal

murzikaleks [220]
The description of the question provided above points out to the famous Big Bang Theory. In addition, this theory is among the most accepted by cosmologists because it fits like a glove to the phenomenon the universe is experiencing right now: it is expanding and distances between celestial bodies are getting farther and farther.

Wind tends to move from<br> pressure areas.<br> low, high<br> high, high<br> low, low<br> high, low
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

high, low

Explanation:

  • Energy always flows from a higher level to a lower level.
  • It is analogous to the waterfall where waterfalls from a higher level to a lower level.
  • So in the case of the pressure of the gas, when there are any numbers of molecules in a given volume of space. The gas is said to be at high pressure.
  • When there are fewer molecules in the given volume. The gas is said to be at lower pressure.
  • Due to a large number of atoms, the high-pressure gas exerts more force on the container than the force exerted by the low-pressure gas.
  • If a hose is connected between these two containers, gas rushes from high pressure to the low pressure. Since the force exerted by the high-pressure gas is greater than that of low-pressure gas.

So, the wind tends to move from high-pressure areas to low pressure.
