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.

A point charge is placed 100 m from a 6 uC charge generating an electric field. What is the
kvv77 [185]

The strength of the electric field is 5 N/C

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electric field produced by a single-point charge is given by:

E=\frac{kQ}{r^2}

where

k=8.99\cdot 10^9 Nm^{-2}C^{-2} is the Coulomb's constant

Q is the magnitude of the charge

r is the distance from the charge

In this problem, we have:

Q=6 \mu C = 6\cdot 10^{-6}C is the charge producing the field

r = 100 m is the distance from the charge at  which we want to calculate the field

Substituting into the equation, we find the s trength of the electric field:

E=\frac{(8.99\cdot 10^9)(6\cdot 10^{-6})}{(100)^2}=5.4 N/C \sim 5 N/C

John says that the value of the function cos[ω(t + T) + ϕ], obtained one period T after time t, is greater than cos(ωt + ϕ) by 2
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

No one is right

Explanation:

John Case:

The function cos(\omega t +\phi) is defined between -1 and 1, So it is not possible obtain a value 2\pi greater.  

In addition, if you  move the function cosine a T Value, and T is the Period,  the function take the same value due to the cosine is a periodic function.

Larry case:

Is you have f=1+cos(\omega t +\phi), the domain of this is [0,2].

it is equivalent to adding 1 to the domain of the f=1+cos(\omega t +\phi), and its mean that the function f=cos(\omega t +\phi), in general, is not greater than cos(\omega t +\phi).
