A 5 kg block moves with a constant speed of 10 ms to the right on a smooth surface where frictional forces are considered to be

negligible.
It passes through a 2.0 m rough section of the surface where friction is not negligible, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the rough section μk is 0.2.

What is the change in the kinetic energy of the block as it passes through the rough section?

Answer:

Work done, W = 19.6 J

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the block, m = 5 kg

Speed of the block, v = 10 m/s

The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the rough section is 0.2

Distance covered by the block, d = 2 m

As the block passes through the rough part, some of the energy gets lost and this energy is equal to the work done by the kinetic energy.

$W=\mu_kmgd$

$W=0.2\times 5\times 9.8\times 2$

W = 19.6 J

So, the change in the kinetic energy of the block as it passes through the rough section is 19.6 J. Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer:

19.6 J

Explanation:

mass of block, m = 5 kg

initial velocity, u = 10 m/s

coefficient of friction, μk = 0.2

distance, s = 2 m

Let v be the velocity after covering the friction surface

use third equation of motion

v² = u² + 2as

v² = 10² - 2 x 0.2 x 9.8 x 2

v² = 100 - 7.84

v = 9.6 m/s

initial kinetic energy, ki = 0.5 x m x u²

Ki = 0.5 x 5 x 10 x 10 = 250 J

final kinetic energy

kf = 0.5 x m x v² = 0.5 x 5 x 9.6 x 9.6 = 230.4 J

Change in kinetic energy, K = Kf - Ki = 250 - 230.4 = 19.6 J

VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

The other angle is 30 degrees.

Explanation:

The range of projectile is given by :

$R=\dfrac{u^2\ \sin2\theta}{g}$

Here,

u is the speed of launch of projectile

Here, $\theta=30^{\circ}$

We need to find the other launch angle when the projectile have the same range, such that,

$\dfrac{u^2\ \sin(60)}{g}=\dfrac{u^2\ \sin2\alpha}{g}$

$\sin(60)=\sin2\alpha$

$\dfrac{\sqrt3}{2}=\sin2\alpha$

$\alpha =30^{\circ}$

So, the other angle is 30 degrees. Hence, this is the required solution.

On her way home from work, Brenda drove 20 miles at 60 miles per hour. Due to poor weather conditions, she then reduced her spee

rjkz [21]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Speed = distance / time

her time for the first journey = 20 miles / 60 miles/hr = 1/3 hr

her time for second part of the journey = her remaining distance / her speed = (80 - 20) miles / 30 miles/hr = 60 miles / 30 miles/hr = 2 hrs

total time spend by her = 2 hr+ 1/3 hr = 2 1/3 hrs

her traveling the distance at 40 miles per hour = 80 miles / 40 miles /hr = 2 hrs

the time less she would drive if she drive the entire distance at 40 miles/hr = 2 1/3 hrs - 2 hrs = 1/3 hr

Medical cyclotrons need efficient sources of protons to inject into their center. In one kind of ion source, hydrogen atoms (i.e

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

The radius is $r = 4.434 *10^{-5} \ m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The magnetic field is $B = 90 mT = 90*10^{-3} \ T$

The electron kinetic energy is $KE = 1.4 eV = 1.4 * (1.60*10^{-19}) =2.24*10^{-19} \ J$

Generally for the collision to occur the centripetal force of the electron in it orbit is equal to the magnetic force applied

This is mathematically represented as

$\frac{mv^2}{r} = qvB$

=> $r = \frac{m* v}{q * B}$

Where m is the mass of electron with values $m = 9.1 *10^{-31} \ kg$

v is the escape velocity which is mathematically represented as

$v = \sqrt{\frac{2 * KE}{m} }$

So

$r = \frac{m}{qB} * \sqrt{\frac{2 * KE}{m} }$

apply indices

$r = \frac{\sqrt{2 * KE * m} }{qB}$

substituting values

$r = \frac{\sqrt{2 * 2.24*10^{-19}* 9.1 *10^{-31}} }{ 1.60 *10^{-19}* 90*10^{-3}}$

$r = 4.434 *10^{-5} \ m$

When two objects are in contact, moving together, which of the following statements must be true? Choose all that apply. When tw

Setler [38]

Answer:

The objects must have the same acceleration and the objects must exert the same magnitude force on each other.

Explanation:

The objects must have the same weight: FALSE. This is not needed, any two object can move together in contact no matter their mass.

The objects must have the same acceleration: TRUE. If they have different accelerations, they will separate since the distance each of them travel at a given time will be different.

The objects must have the same net force acting on them: FALSE. This is not needed, since what matters is acceleration, and a=F/m, so if both objects have different net force acting on them, they could have different masses also to compensate and result in the same acceleration.

The objects must exert the same magnitude force on each other: TRUE, this is the 3rd Newton Law, an action must follow the same reaction.
