A counter attendant in a diner shoves a ketchup bottle with a mass 0.30 kg along a smooth, level lunch counter. The bottle leave

s her hand with an initial velocity 2.8 m/s. As it slides, it slows down because of the horizontal friction force exerted on it by the countertop. The bottle slides a distance of 1.0 m before
coming to rest. What are the magnitude and direction of the friction force acting on it?

Answer:

1.176 N

Explanation:

$m$ = mass of the bottle = 0.30 kg

$v_{o}$ = initial speed of the bottle = 2.8 m/s

$v$ = final speed of the bottle = 0 m/s

$d$ = stopping distance traveled = 1.0 m

$f$ = magnitude of frictional force acting on bottle

Using work-change in kinetic energy theorem

$- f d = (0.5) m (v^{2} - v_{o}^{2} )\\- f (1) = (0.5) (0.30) (0^{2} - 2.8^{2} )\\-f = - 1.176 \\f = 1.176$ N

direction :

frictional force acts in opposite direction of motion.

You are a member of a geological team in Central Africa. Your team comes upon a wide river that is flowing east. You must determ

Dovator [93]

Answer:

(a). The width of the river is 90.5 m.

The current speed of the river is 3.96 m.

(b). The shortest time is 15.0 sec and we would end 59.4 m east of our starting point.

Explanation:

Given that,

Constant speed = 6.00 m/s

Time = 20.1 sec

Speed = 9.00 m/s

Time = 11.2 sec

We need to write a equation for to travel due north across the river,

Using equation for north

$v^2-c^2=\dfrac{w^2}{t^2}$

Put the value in the equation

$6.00^2-c^2=\dfrac{w^2}{(20.1)^2}$

$36-c^2=\dfrac{w^2}{404.01}$ ....(I)

We need to write a equation for to travel due south across the river,

Using equation for south

$v^2-c^2=\dfrac{w^2}{t^2}$

Put the value in the equation

$9.00^2-c^2=\dfrac{w^2}{(11.2)^2}$

$81-c^2=\dfrac{w^2}{125.44}$ ....(II)

(a). We need to calculate the wide of the river

Using equation (I) and (II)

$45=\dfrac{w^2}{125.44}-\dfrac{w^2}{404.01}$

$45=w^2(0.00549)$

$w^2=\dfrac{45}{0.00549}$

$w=\sqrt{\dfrac{45}{0.00549}}$

$w=90.5$

We need to calculate the current speed

Using equation (I)

$36-c^2=\dfrac{(90.5)^2}{(20.1)^2}$

$36-c^2=20.27$

$c^2=20.27-36$

$c=\sqrt{15.73}$

$c=3.96\ m/s$

(b). We need to calculate the shortest time

Using formula of time

$t=\dfrac{d}{v}$

$t=\dfrac{90.5}{6}$

$t=15.0\ sec$

We need to calculate the distance

Using formula of distance

$d=vt$

$d=3.96\times15.0$

$d=59.4\ m$

Hence, (a). The width of the river is 90.5 m.

The current speed of the river is 3.96 m.

(b). The shortest time is 15.0 sec and we would end 59.4 m east of our starting point.

Learning Goal: To apply the law of conservation of energy to an object launched upward in the gravitational field of the earth.

marishachu [46]

Answer:

$h=\frac{1}{2}\frac{v^2}{g}$

Explanation:

Let's assume that an object is launched straight upward in a gravitational field. Its initial kinetic energy is given by

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$ (1)

where m is the mass and v is the initial speed.

As the object goes higher, its kinetic energy decreases and it is converted into gravitational potential energy, since the total mechanical energy (sum of kinetic and potential energy) must remain constant:

$E=K+U=const.$

At the highest point of the trajectory, the speed of the object is zero (v=0), so the kinetic energy is also zero (K=0), which means that all the kinetic energy has been converted into potential energy:

$U=mgh$ (2)

where g is the gravitational acceleration and h is the maximum height of the object.

Due to conservation of energy, we can write that (1) and (2) are equal, so:

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2=mgh$

from which we can derive an expression for the maximum height reached by the object

$h=\frac{1}{2}\frac{v^2}{g}$

Sally travels by car from one city to another. She drives for 30.0 min at 80.0 km/hr, 12.0 min at 105.0 km/hr, and 45.0 min at 4

bezimeni [28]

Total distance = (30/60 x 80) + (12/60 x 105) + (45/60 x 40) = 0.5 x 80 + 0.2 x 105 + 0.75 x 40 = 40 + 21 + 30 = 91 km

Average distance = total distance / time taken = 91 / (30/60 + 12/60 + 45/60) = 91/ (0.5 + 0.2 + 0.75) = 91/1.45 = 62.76 km/hr
