The block moves with constant velocity: for Newton's second law, this means that the resultant of the forces acting on the block is zero, because the acceleration is zero.

We are only concerned about the horizontal direction, and there are only two forces acting along this direction: the force F pushing the block and the frictional force F_f acting against the motion. Since their resultant must be zero, we have:
F-F_f = 0
The frictional force is
F_f = \mu mg
where
\mu=0.4 is the coefficient of kinetic friction
mg=400 N is the weight of the block. 

Substituting these values, we find the magnitude of the force F:
F=F_f = \mu mg=(0.4 )(400 N)=160 N

Calculate the average velocity in m/y of a tectonic plate that has travelled 9000 km to the south in 60 million years
Gekata [30.6K]
<span>The distance covered by the tectonic plate, in meters, is
</span>d=9000km=9\cdot 10^6 m<span>
 The time taken for the tectonic plate to cover this distance is equal to
</span>t=60 mil.y=60 \cdot 10^6 y<span>
Therefore, the average velocity of the tectonic plate is the ratio between the distance covered and the time taken:

According to the nebular theory of solar system formation, what key difference in their early formation explains why the jovian
svp [43]

Answer:

The Jovian planets formed beyond the Frostline while the terrestrial planets formed in the Frostline in the solar nebular

Explanation:

The Jovian planets are the large planets namely Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune. The terrestrial planets include the Earth, Mercury, Mars, and Venus. According to the nebular theory of solar system formation, the terrestrial planets were formed from silicates and metals. They also had high boiling points which made it possible for them to be located very close to the sun.

The Jovian planets formed beyond the Frostline. This is an area that can support the planets that were made up of icy elements. The large size of the Jovian planets is as a result of the fact that the icy elements were more in number than the metal components of the terrestrial planets.

A 2-kg cart, traveling on a horizontal air track with a speed of 3 m/s, collides with a stationary 4-kg cart. The carts stick to
daser333 [38]

Answer:

Magnitude of impulse, |J| = 4 kg-m/s                                                                                

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of cart 1, m_1=2\ kg

Mass of cart 2, m_2=4\ kg  

Initial speed of cart 1, u_1=3\ m/s          

Initial speed of cart 2, u_2=0 (stationary)

The carts stick together. It is the case of inelastic collision. Let V is the combined speed of both carts. The momentum remains conserved.

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)V

V=\dfrac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2}{(m_1+m_2)}        

V=\dfrac{2\times 3}{(2+4)}

V = 1 m/s

The magnitude of the impulse exerted by one cart on the other is given by:

J=F\times t=m(V-u)

J=m(V-u)

J=2\times (1-3)    

J = -4 kg-m/s

or

|J| = 4 kg-m/s

So, the magnitude of the impulse exerted by one cart on the other 4 kg-m/s. Hence, this is required solution.

You throw a baseball (mass 0.145 kg) vertically upward. It leaves your hand moving at 12.0 m/s. Air resistance can be neglected.
Andru [333]

Answer:

The ball will have an upward velocity of 6 m/s at a height of 5.51 m.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The equations of height and velocity of the ball are the following:

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

v = v0 + g · t

Where:

y = height at time t.

y0 = initial height.

v0 = initial velocity.

t = time.

g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.81 m/s² considering the upward direction as positive).

v = velocity of the ball at time t.

Placing the origin at the throwing point, y0 = 0.

Let´s use the equation of velocity to obtain the time at which the velocity is 12.0 m/s / 2 = 6.00 m/s.

v = v0 + g · t

6.00 m/s = 12.0 m/s -9.81 m/s² · t

(6.00 - 12.0)m/s / -9.81 m/s² = t

t = 0.612 s

Now, let´s calculate the height of the baseball at that time:

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²     (y0 = 0)

y = 12.0 m/s · 0.612 s - 1/2 · 9.81 m/s² · (0.612 s)²

y = 5.51 m

The ball will have an upward velocity of 6 m/s at a height of 5.51 m.

Have a nice day!
