A student pushes a 21-kg box initially at rest, horizontally along a frictionless surface for 10.0 m and then releases the box t

o continue sliding. If the student pushes with a constant 10 N force, what is the box's speed when it is released?

Answer:v=3.08 m/s

Explanation:

Given

mass of student $m=21 kg$

distance moved $d=10 m$

Force applied $F=10 N$

acceleration of system during application of force is a

$a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{10}{21}=0.476 m/s^2$

using $v^2-u^2=2 as$

where v=final velocity

u=initial velocity

a=acceleration

s=displacement

$v^2-0=2\times 0.476\times 10$

$v=\sqrt{9.52}$

$v=3.08 m/s$

Use your calculator to evaluate -3.7 meter/second-13.9 meter/second 21.4 second-72 second

cluponka [151]

Answer :

(-3.7 meter/second) - (13.9 meter/second) = -17.6 meter/second

(21.4 second) - (72 second) = -50.6 second

Explanation :

(1) As we are given the expression :

(-3.7 meter/second) - (13.9 meter/second)

Now we have to evaluate this expression, we get:

⇒ -17.6 meter/second

(2) As we are given the expression :

(21.4 second) - (72 second)

Now we have to evaluate this expression, we get:

⇒ -50.6 second

Calculate the energy released by the electron-capture decay of 5727Co. Consider only the energy of the nuclei (ignore the energy

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

Explanation:

⁵⁷Co₂₇ + e⁻¹ = ²⁷Fe₂₆

mass defect = 56.936296 + .00055 - 56.935399

= .001447 u

equivalent energy

= 931.5 x .001447 MeV

= 1.3479 MeV .

= 1.35 MeV

energy of gamma ray photons = .14 + .017

= .157 MeV .

Rest of the energy goes to neutrino .

energy going to neutrino .

= 1.35 - .157

= 1.193 MeV.

A 15g bullet is fired horizontally into a 3kg block of wood suspended by a long cord. Assume that the bullet remains in the bloc

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

261.3 m/s

Explanation:

Mass of bullet=m=15 g= $\frac{15}{1000}=0.015 kg$

1 kg=1000g

Mass of block=M=3 kg

d=0.086 m

Total mass =M+m=3+0.015=3.015 kg

K.E at the time strike=Gravitational potential energy at the end of swing

$\frac{1}{2}(m+M)^2V^2=(m+M)gh$

Using g= $9.8m/s^2$

Substitute the values

$\frac{1}{2}(3.015)V^2=3.015\times 9.8\times 0.086$

$V^2=\frac{2\times 3.015\times 9.8\times 0.086}{3.015}$

$V=\sqrt{2\times 3.015\times 9.8\times 0.086}}$

$V=1.3m/s$

Velocity after collision=V=1.3 m/s

Velocity of block=v'=0

Using conservation law of momentum

$mv+Mv'=(m+M)V$

Using the formula

$0.015v+3(0)=3.015(1.3)$

$0.015v=3.015(1.3)$

$v^2=\frac{3.015(1.3)}{0.015}=261.3$

$v=261.3 m/s$

Two neutron stars are separated by a distance of 1.0 x 1012 m. They each have a mass of 1.0 x 1028 kg and a radius of 1.0 x 103

son4ous [18]

To develop this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Gravitational Potential Energy.

Gravitational potential energy can be defined as

$PE = -\frac{GMm}{R}$

As M=m, then

$PE = -\frac{Gm^2}{R}$

Where,

m = Mass

G =Gravitational Universal Constant

R = Distance /Radius

PART A) As half its initial value is u'=2u, then

$U = -\frac{2Gm^2}{R}$

$dU = -\frac{2Gm^2}{R}$

$dKE = -dU$

Therefore replacing we have that,

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2 =\frac{Gm^2}{2R}$

Re-arrange to find v,

$v= \sqrt{\frac{Gm}{R}}$

$v = \sqrt{\frac{6.67*10^{-11}*1*10^{28}}{1*10^{12}}}$

$v = 816.7m/s$

Therefore the velocity when the separation has decreased to one-half its initial value is 816m/s

PART B) With a final separation distance of 2r, we have that

$2r = 2*10^3m$

Therefore

$dU = Gm^2(\frac{1}{R}-\frac{1}{2r})$

$v = \sqrt{Gm(\frac{1}{2r}-\frac{1}{R})}$

$v = \sqrt{6.67*10^{-11}*10^{28}(\frac{1}{2*10^3}-\frac{1}{10^{12}})}$

$v = 1.83*10^7m/s$

Therefore the velocity when they are about to collide is $1.83*10^7m/s$
