A dockworker applies a constant horizontal force of 80.0 N to a block of ice on a smooth horizontal floor. The frictional force

is negligible. The block starts from rest and moves 11.0 m in 5.00 s. (a) what is the mass of the block office? (b) If the worker stops pushing at the end of 5.00 s, how far does the block move in the next 5.00 s?

Answer:

(a) 91 kg (2 s.f.)    (b) 22 m

Explanation:

Since it is stated that a constant horizontal force is applied to the block of ice, we know that the block of ice travels with a constant acceleration and but not with a constant velocity.

(a)

                                                   s \ = \ ut \ + \ \displaystyle\frac{1}{2} at^{2} \\ \\ a \ = \ \displaystyle\frac{2(s \ - \ ut)}{t^{2}} \\ \\ a \ = \ \displaystyle\frac{2(11 \ - \ 0)}{5^{2}} \\ \\ a \ = \ \displaystyle\frac{22}{25} \\ \\ a \ = \ 0.88 \ \mathrm{m \ s^{-2}}

     Subsequently,

                                                  F \ = \ ma \\ \\ m \ = \ \displaystyle\frac{F}{a} \\ \\ m \ = \ \displaystyle\frac{80 \ \mathrm{kg \ m \ s^{-2}}}{0.88 \ \mathrm{m \ s^{-2}}} \\ \\ m \ = \ 91 \mathrm{kg} \ \ \ \ \ \ (2 \ \mathrm{s.f.})

*Note that the equations used above assume constant acceleration is being applied to the system. However, in the case of non-uniform motion, these equations will no longer be valid and in turn, calculus will be used to analyze such motions.

(b) To find the final velocity of the ice block at the end of the first 5 seconds,

                                                    v \ = \ u \ + \ at \\ \\ v \ = \ 0 \ + \ (0.88 \mathrm{m \ s^{-2}})(5 \ \mathrm{s}) \\ \\ v \ = \ 4.4 \ \mathrm{m \ s^{-1}}

     According to Newton's First Law which states objects will remain at rest

     or in uniform motion (moving at constant velocity) unless acted upon by

     an external force. Hence, the block of ice by the end of the first 5

     seconds, experiences no acceleration (a = 0) but travels with a constant

     velocity of 4.4 m \ s^{-1}.

                                                    s \ = \ ut \ + \ \displaystyle\frac{1}{2}at^{2} \\ \\ s \ = \ (4.4 \ \mathrm{m \ s^{-2}})(5 \ \mathrm{s}) \ + \ \displaystyle\frac{1}{2}(0)(5^{2}) \\ \\ s \ = \ 22 \ \mathrm{m}

      Therefore, the ice block traveled 22 m in the next 5 seconds after the

      worker stops pushing it.

If the net force on a block is zero
amm1812

If the net force on a block is zero, the block will move at constant velocity

Explanation:

We can answer this question by applying Newton's second law of motion, which states that the net force on an object is equal to the product between its mass and its acceleration:

\sum F = ma (1)

where

\sum F is the net force on the object

m is its mass

a is its acceleration

In this problem, we have a block, and the net force on it is zero:

\sum F = 0

According to eq.(1), this also implies that

a=0

So, the acceleration of the block is zero.

However, acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of a body:

a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}

where \Delta v is the change in velocity in a time of \Delta t. Since the acceleration is zero, this means that \Delta v=0, and therefore the velocity of the object is constant.

Which of these is not an example of
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

A) The process that give us day  and night.

Explanation:

From the answer choices provided the one that is not an example of this is the process that give us day  and night. This is because, the day/night cycle occurs as the Earth spins on it's axis. This cause one side of the Earth to be facing the Sun, which is the side that is currently experiencing day time while the other side is experiencing night time. As the Earth spins the cycles repeat. This is not an example of revolving.

State any two effects of gravitational force ​
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

The effect of gravity extends from each object out into space in all directions, and for an infinite distance. However, the strength of the gravitational force reduces quickly with distance. Humans are never aware of the Sun's gravity pulling them because the pull is so small at the distance between the Earth and Sun.

What is velocity and power ?​
Kobotan [32]

Explanation:

Velocity : Velocity is quickness of motion or action. A synonym is celerity; a simpler word is speed. In physics, velocity specifically refers to the measurement of the rate and direction of change in position of an object. It is a vector quantity that specifies both the speed of a body and its direction of motion.

Power : In physics, power is the amount of energy transferred or converted per unit time. In the International System of Units, the unit of power is the watt, equal to one joule per second. In older works, power is sometimes called activity. Power is a scalar quantity.

Hope it's helpful to you
