A 6.60-kg block slides with an initial speed of 1.56 m/s up a ramp inclined at an angle of 28.4° with the horizontal. The coeffi

cient of kinetic friction between the block and the ramp is 0.62.
1. Use energy conservation to find the distance the block slides before coming to rest.

Answer:

The distance travel by block before coming to rest is 0.122 m

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of block $m = 6.60$ kg

Initial speed of block $v _{i} = 1.56$ $\frac{m}{s}$

Final speed of block $v_{f} = 0$ $\frac{m}{s}$

Coefficient of kinetic friction $\mu _{k} = 0.62$

Ramp inclined at angle $\theta =$ 28.4°

Using conservation of energy,

Work done by frictional force is equal to change in energy,

$\mu _{k} mgd \cos 28.4 = \Delta K - \Delta U$

Where $\Delta U = mg d\sin 28.4$

$\mu _{k} mgd \cos 28.4 = \frac{1}{2}mv_{i} ^{2} - mgd\sin 28.4$

$\mu _{k} mgd \cos 28.4 +mgd\sin 28.4 = \frac{1}{2}mv_{i} ^{2}$

$d(6.60 \times 9.8 \times 0.62 \times 0.879 + 6.60 \times 9.8 \times 0.475) = \frac{1}{2} \times 6.60 \times (1.56)^{2}$

$d = 0.122$ m

Therefore, the distance travel by block before coming to rest is 0.122 m

Two cars start 200 m apart and drive toward each other at a steady 10 m/s. On the front of one of them, an energetic grasshopper

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

Total distance does the grasshopper travel before the cars hit is 150 m

Explanation:

Each car moves x=100 m before they collide. Both the cars moving in constant velocity. time taken t by each car is

$t=\frac{x}{v}$

where x is the distance traveled with velocity v

$t=\frac{100}{10}\\t=10 sec$

The insect is moving through this time period with a constant velocity of 15 m/s

The distance traveled by grasshopper is

$distance=V_{gh} \times t\\distance=15 \times 10\\distance=150 m$

An automobile being tested on a straight road is 400 feet from its starting point when the stopwatch reads 8.0 seconds and is 55

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

a) v = 75 ft / s , b) v = 55 ft / s , c) Δx = 1000 ft

Explanation:

We can solve this exercise with the expressions of kinematics

a) average speed is defined as the distance traveled in a given time interval

v = (x₂-x₁) / (t₂-t₁)

v = (550 - 400) / (10 -8)

v = 75 ft / s

b) we repeat the calculations for this interval

v = (550 - 0) / (10 -0)

v = 55 ft / s

c) we clear the distance from the average velocity equation

Δx = v (t₂ -t₁)

Δx = 100 (20-10)

Δx = 1000 ft

A 0.600-mm diameter wire stretches 0.500% of its length when it is stretched with a tension of 20.0 n. what is the young's modul

Rashid [163]

The Young modulus is given by:
$E= \frac{F /A}{\Delta L / L_0}$
where
F is the force applied
$L_0$ is the initial length of the wire
$A$ is the cross-sectional area of the wire
$\Delta L$ is the stretch of the wire

The wire in the problem stretches by $0.5%$ of its length, this means
$\frac{\Delta L}{L_0} = 0.005$

We can also calculate the area of the wire; its radius is in fact half the diameter:
$r= \frac{d}{2}= \frac{0.600 mm}{2}=0.300 mm=0.3 \cdot 10^{-3} m$
and so the area is
$A=\pi r^2 = \pi (0.3 \cdot 10^{-3} m)^2 = 2.83 \cdot 10^{-7} m^2$

We know the force applied to the wire, F=20 N, so now we have everything to calculate the Young modulus:

$E= \frac{F/A}{\Delta L / L_0} = \frac{20 N/(2.83 \cdot 10^{-7} m^2)}{0.005}=1.42 \cdot 10^{10} N/m^2$

What accounts for the two precipitation peaks in mbandaka?

faust18 [17]

The two precipitation peaks in Mbandaka during March to April and September to November is due to the intertropical convergence zone.

Intertropical convergence zone is a narrow zone located near the equator. It is where the northern and southern air masses intersect which results to low atmospheric pressure. Due to the intertropical convergence zone’s meeting of air masses, often times the air pressure are lower which will results to colder air, or even rainfall during the period of March to April, and most especially September to November in Mbandaka.

<span>Since Mbandaka is located at the cented of Tumba-Ngiri-Maindombe area, which is named as a Wetland of International importance, there is really a bigger chance that this place experience above 60mm precipitation in a year, temperatures averaging from 23 – 26 degrees Celsius.</span>
