Answer:

W = F * s

Work done equals applied force * distance traveled

Apparent weight = M g (1 - sin θ) since some of applied force will lighten sled

μ = coefficient of kinetic friction

F cos θ = force applied to motion of sled

s = distance traveled

[μ M g (1 - sin θ)] cos θ * s = work done in moving sled

Note that F = μ M g if applied force is in the horizontal direction

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer: 12Mg/h

Explanation:

Let the spring is compressed by a distance x,before the lift stops,then

Mg(h+x)= 1/2 kx^2 ............... 1

Kx - Mg = M ( 5g ) ............ 2

Make x the subject in equation 2

Kx = 5Mg + Mg

Kx = 6Mg

x = 6Mg/k ............ 3

Put equation 3 into 1

Mg ( h + x ) = 1/2 kx^2

Mgh + Mgx = 1/2kx^2

Mgh + Mg × 6Mg/k = 1/2k × ( 6Mg/k )^2

Mgh + Mg× 6Mg/k = 1/2k 36M^2g^2/ k^2

h =18Mg/k - 6Mg/h

K = 12Mg/h

erma4kov [3.2K]

The emerging velocity of the bullet is 71 m/s.

The bullet of mass m moving with a velocity u has kinetic energy. When it pierces the block of wood, the block exerts a force of friction on the bullet. As the bullet passes through the block, work is done against the resistive forces exerted on the bullet by the block. This results in the reduction of the bullet's kinetic energy. The bullet has a speed v when it emerges from the block.

If the block exerts a resistive force F on the bullet and the thickness of the block is x then, the work done by the resistive force is given by,

$W=Fx$

This is equal to the change in the bullet's kinetic energy.

$W=Fx=\frac{1}{2} m(u^2-v^2)......(1)$

If the thickness of the block is reduced by one-half, the bullet emerges out with a velocity v₁.

Assuming the same resistive forces to act on the bullet,

$F(\frac{x}{2} )=\frac{1}{2} m(u^2-v_1^2)......(2)$

Divide equation (2) by equation (1) and simplify for v₁.

$\frac{\frac{Fx}{2} }{Fx} =\frac{(u^2-v_1^2)}{(u^2-v^2)} \\\frac{100^2-v_1^2}{100^2-10^2} =\frac{1}{2} \\v_1^2=5050\\v_1=71.06 m/s$

Thus the speed of the bullet is 71 m/s
