Answer:
your answer will be 320kg that would be the pressure at the bottom surface of the block
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]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=E_%7BM%7D%3DE_%7Bp%7D%20%20%2B%20E_%7Bk%7D%20%5C%5CE_%7Bp%7D%20%3D%20potential%20energy%20%5BJ%5D%5C%5CE_%7Bk%7D%20%3D%20kinetic%20energy%20%5BJ%5D%5C%5Cwhere%3A%5C%5CE_%7Bp%7D%20%3Dm%2Ag%2Ah%5C%5CE_%7Bp%7D%20%3D%204%2A9.81%2A0.5%3D19.62%5BJ%5D%5C%5CE_%7Bk%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%20%2Am%2Av%5E%7B2%7D%20%20%5C%5CE_%7Bk%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%20%2A4%2A%283%29%5E%7B2%7D%20%5C%5CE_%7Bk%7D%3D18%5BJ%5D%5C%5CTherefore%5C%5CE_%7BM%7D%20%3D18%2B19.62%5C%5CE_%7BM%7D%3D37.62%5BJ%5D)
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]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=37.62%3D%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%20%2Am%2Av%5E%7B2%7D%20%5C%5Cv%3D%5Csqrt%7B%5Cfrac%7B37.62%2A2%7D%7B4%7D%20%7D%20%5C%5Cv%3D4.33%5Bm%2Fs%5D)
