A box sliding on a horizontal frictionless surface encounters a spring attached to a rigid wall and compresses the spring by a c

ertain distance by the time the block ceases its forward motion. If the same experiment is repeated on a rough horizontal surface, some of the box's energy is lost to friction, and so the spring is compressed by a smaller distance by the time the block ceases its forward motion.
Part a) If the mass of the block is 3.96 kg, and its initial velocity is 5 m/s, what is the initial kinetic energy of the block?

________ Joules

Part b) If the block on the frictionless surface compresses the spring by 26.8 cm, what is the spring constant of the spring?

________ N/m

Part c) If the block on the rough surface compresses only compresses the spring by 15 cm, then how much energy was lost to friction?

________ Joules

Part d) If the block traveled a total of 3.20 m on the rough surface between the start of the experiment and the point where the spring is maximally compressed, what is the coefficient of kinetic friction for the block moving on this surface?

Answer:

a) K = 49.5 J  b) k = 1378 N / m c) ΔE = 34 J  d)  μ = 0.399

Explanation:

For this exercise we will use the concepts of energy

a) The initial kinetic energy is

    K = ½ m v²

    K = ½ 3.96 5²

    K = 49.5 J

b) let's use energy conservation

    Em₀ = K = ½ m v²

    Em_{f} = Ke = ½ k x²

    Em₀ =  Em_{f}

    ½ m v² = ½ k x²

    k = m v² / x²

    k = 3.96 5² / 0.268²

    k = 1378 N / m

c) Let's calculate the final energy of the spring

     Em_{f} = Ke = ½ k x²

    Em_{f} = ½ 1378 0.15²

     Em_{f} = 15.5 J

The initial energy is the kinetics of the block

    Em₀ = 49.5 J

The lost energy is the difference with the initial

    ΔE =  Em_{f} - Em₀

    ΔE = 15.5 - 49.5

    ΔE = - 34 J

the negative sign means that the energy dissipates

d) For this part we use the concept of work

   W = F d cos θ = ΔK

In this case the force is the friction force that always opposes displacement, so the angle 180 ° and cos 180 = -1

    W = -fr d = ΔK

The force of friction is

   fr = μ N

With Newton's second law

    N-w = 0

    N = W = mg

Let's calculate

   -μ mg d = Kf -K₀o

    μ = K₀ / mgd

    μ = 49.5 / (3.96  9.8  3.20)

    μ = 0.399

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

N=459.01N

Explanation:

According to Newton's first law:

N+F_y-W=0

The component of the force on the y-axis can be obtained through the Pythagorean Theorem. This is because the components are the cathetus of a right triangle and its hypotenuse is the magnitude of the force:

sin12^\circ=\frac{F_y}{F}\\F_y=Fsin12^\circ

Replacing and solving for N:

N=W-Fsin12^\circ\\N=485N-(125N)sin12^\circ\\N=459.01N

A carbon-dioxide laser emits infrared light with a wavelength of 10.6 μm. What is the length of a tube that will oscillate in th
alex41 [277]

Answer:

The length of a tube and number of rounds are 0.848 m and 1.77\times10^{8}\ trip\ per\ second.

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength \lambda= 10.6\mu m

m = 160000

We need to calculate the length

Using formula of wavelength

Laser tube behave like closed pipe

m\dfrac{\lambda}{2}=L

L=160000\times\dfrac{10.6\times10^{-6}}{2}

L=0.848\ m

Distance traveled by pulse of light in one back and fourth trip

d=2L

d=2\times0.848

d=1.696\ m

We need to calculate the time

Using formula for time

t = \dfrac{d}{c}

t=\dfrac{1.696}{3\times10^{8}}

t=5.653\times10^{-9}\ s

We need to calculate the number of round

Using formula of number of round

N=\dfrac{1}{t}

N= \dfrac{1}{5.653\times10^{-9}}

N=1.77\times10^{8}\ trip\ per\ second

Hence, The length of a tube and number of rounds are 0.848 m and 1.77\times10^{8}\ trip\ per\ second.

Emmy kicks a soccer ball up at an angle of 45° over a level field. She watches the ball's trajectory and notices that it lands,
Elenna [48]

Let u be the initial velocity of the soccer ball at an angle of inclination of \theta_0 with the positive x-axis.

Given that:

\theta_0=45^{\circ}

The horizontal distance covered by the projectile=20 m

Time of flight, t_f=2 seconds

Acceleration due to gravity, g= 10 m/s^2 downward.

As "north" and "up" as the positive x ‑ and y ‑directions, respectively.

So, g= -10 m/s^2

As the acceleration due to gravity is in the vertical direction, so the horizontal component of the initial velocity remains unchanged.

The x-component of the initial velocity, u_x=u\cos\theta_0.

The horizontal distance covered by the projectile = u_x\times t_f

\Rightarrow u_x\times t_f=20

\Rightarrow u_x\times 2=20

\Rightarrow u_x=10 m/s

So, the horizontal component of the velocity is 10 m/s which is constant and the graph has been shown in the figure (i).

Now,  u\cos(45^{\circ})=10 [as u_x=u\cos\theta_0]

\Rightarrow u=10\sqrt{2} m/s.

The vertical component of the initial velocity,

u_y= u\sin\theta_0

\Rightarrow u_y=10\sqrt{2}\sin(45^{\circ})

\Rightarrow u_y=10 m/s

Let v be the vertical component of the velocity at any time instant t.

From the equation of motion,

v=u+at

where u: initial velocity, v: final velocity, a: constant acceleration, and t: time taken to change the velocity from u to v.

In this case, we have u=u_y, a= -10 m/s^2.

So at any time instant, t.

v=u_y+(-10)t

\Rightarrow v=10-10t

The vertical component of the velocity, v, is the function of time and related as v=10-10t.

This is a linear equation.

At 2 second, the vertical component of the velocity

v=10-10x2=-10 m/s.

The graph has been shown in figure (ii).

<h2>Apartment Explosion Reported </h2>

The apartment’s explosion, reportedly caused by a gas leak, produced a violent release of gas and heat. The heat increased the temperature of the air in the room, which means an increase in the air's molecular kinetic energy.

When heat is provided then temperature increases and the molecules of substances move rapidly by increase of kinetic energy (K.E) temperature increases. It is understood that heat increases temperature.
