The horizontal component is calculated as:
Vhorizontal = V · cos(angle)

In your case Vhoriontal = 16 · cos(40) = 12.3 m/s

Answer: 12.3 m/s

Two fun-loving otters are sliding toward each other on a muddy (and hence frictionless) horizontal surface. One of them, of mass

zvonat [6]

Answer:

(a). The magnitude and direction of the velocity of the otters after collision is 1.35 m/s toward left.

(b). The mechanical energy dissipates during this play is 226.98 J.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of one otter = 8.50 kg

Speed = 6.00 m/s

Mass of other = 5.75 kg

Speed = 5.50 m/s

(a). We need to calculate the magnitude and direction of the velocity of these free-spirited otters right after they collide

Using conservation of momentum

$m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}=(m_{1}+m_{2})v$

Put the value into the formula

$8.50\times(-6.00)+5.75\times5.50=(8.50+5.75)\times v$

$v=\dfrac{-19.375}{14.25}$

$v=-1.35\ m/s$

Negative sign shows the direction of motion of the object after collision is toward left.

(b). We need to calculate the initial kinetic energy

Using formula of kinetic energy

$K.E_{i}=\dfrac{1}{2}m_{1}v_{1}^2+\dfrac{1}{2}m_{2}v_{2}^2$

Put the value into the formula

$K.E_{i}=\dfrac{1}{2}\times8.50\times(6.00)^2+\dfrac{1}{2}\times5.75\times(5.50)^2$

$K.E_{i}=239.96\ J$

We need to calculate the final kinetic energy

Using formula of kinetic energy

$K.E_{f}=\dfrac{1}{2}(m_{1}+m_{2})v^2$

Put the value into the formula

$K.E_{f}=\dfrac{1}{2}\times(8.50+5.75)\times(-1.35)^2$

$K.E_{f}=12.98\ J$

We need to calculate the mechanical energy dissipates during this play

Using formula of loss of mechanical energy

$\Delta K.E=K.E_{f}-K.E_{i}$

Put the value into the formula

$\Delta K.E=12.98-239.96$

$\Delta K.E=-226.98\ J$

Negative sign shows the loss of mechanical energy

Hence, (a). The magnitude and direction of the velocity of the otters after collision is 1.35 m/s toward left.

(b). The mechanical energy dissipates during this play is 226.98 J.

A 50.-kilogram rock rolls off the edge of a cliff. if it is traveling at a speed of 24.2 m/s when it hits the ground, what is th

ElenaW [278]

The correct answer to the question is : 29.88 m.

EXPLANATION :

As per the question, the mass of the rock m = 50 Kg.

The rock is rolling off the edges of the cliff.

The final velocity of the rock when it hits the ground v = 24 .2 m/s.

Let the height of the cliff is h.

The potential energy gained by the rock at the top of the cliff = mgh.

Here, g is known as acceleration due to gravity, and g = $9.8\ m/s^2$

When the rock rolls off the edge of the cliff, the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.

When the rock hits the ground, whole of its potential energy is converted into its kinetic energy.

The kinetic energy of the rock when it touches the ground is given as -

Kinetic energy K.E = $\frac{1}{2}mv^2$ .

From above we know that -

Kinetic energy at the bottom of the cliff = potential energy at a height h

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

⇒ $v^2=\ 2gh$

⇒ $h=\ \frac{v^2}{2g}$

⇒ $h=\ \frac{(24.2)^2}{2\times 9.8}$

⇒ $h=\ 29.88\ m$

Hence, the height of the cliff is 29.88 m

A 5⁢kg object is released from rest near the surface of a planet such that its gravitational field is considered to be constant.

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

The gravitational force exerted on the object is 75 N (answer D)

Explanation:

Hi there!

The gravitational force is calculated as follows:

F = m · g

Where:

F = force of gravity.

m = mass of the object.

g = acceleration due to gravity (unknown).

For a falling object moving in a straight line, its height at a given time can be calculated using the following equation:

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · a · t²

Where:

y = position at time t.

y0 = initial position.

v0 = initial velocity.

t = time.

g = acceleration due to gravity.

Let´s place the origin of the frame of reference at the point where the object is released so that y0 = 0. Let´s also consider the downward direction as negative.

Then, after 2 seconds, the height of the object will be -30 m:

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

-30 m = 0 m + 0 m/s · 2 s + 1/2 · g · (2 s)²

-30 m = 1/2 · g · 4 s²

-30 m = 2 s ² · g

-30 m/2 s² = g

g = -15 m/s²

Then, the magnitude of the gravitational force will be:

F = m · g

F = 5 kg · 15 m/s²

F = 75 N

The gravitational force exerted on the object is 75 N (answer D)

Have a nice day!

A 6.0 kg box slides down an inclined plane that makes an angle of 39° with the horizontal. If the coefficient of kinetic frictio

dlinn [17]

Answer:

a = 4.72 m/s²

Explanation:

given,

mass of the box (m)= 6 Kg

angle of inclination (θ) = 39°

coefficient of kinetic friction (μ) = 0.19

magnitude of acceleration = ?

box is sliding downward so,

F - f = m a

f is the friction force

m g sinθ - μ N = ma

m g sinθ - μ m g cos θ = ma

a = g sinθ - μ g cos θ

a = 9.8 x sin 39° - 0.19 x 9.8 x cos 39°

a = 4.72 m/s²

the magnitude of acceleration of the box down the slope is a = 4.72 m/s²
