A block of mass m=16.8 kg is sliding on a surface with initial velocity v=23.2 m/s. The block has a coefficient of kinetic friction μk =0.426 with respect to the surface and is being pushed by a force of magnitude F=86.4 N in the direction of its motion. Due to kinetic friction, the block is slowing down. How long will it take for the block to come to a stop?

Respuesta :

Answer:

t = 23.92 s

Explanation:

Newton's second law:

∑F = m*a Formula (1)

∑F : algebraic sum of the forces in Newton (N)

m : mass s (kg)

a : acceleration  (m/s²)

We define the x-axis in the direction parallel to the movement of the block  and the y-axis in the direction perpendicular to it.

Forces acting on the block

W: Weight of the block : In vertical direction, downward

FN : Normal force : perpendicular to the floor, upward

fk :  Kinetic friction force: parallel to the floor  and opposite to the movement

F = 86.4 N , in the direction of the motion

Calculated of the W

W= m*g

W=  16.8 kg* 9.8 m/s² = 164.64 N

Calculated of the FN  

We apply the formula (1)  

∑Fy = m*ay ay = 0  

FN - W = 0  

FN = W  

FN =  164.64 N

Calculated of the fk

fk  = μk*FN

fk  = 0.426* 164.64 N

fk  = 70.13 N

We apply the formula (1) to calculated acceleration of the block:

∑Fx = m*ax  ,  ax= a  : acceleration of the block

F - fk = m*a

86.4 -70.13  = (16.8)*(-a)

16.26 =  (16.8)*(-a)

a = -(16.26 )/ (16.8)

a = - 0.97 m/s²

Kinematics of the block

Because the block moves with uniformly accelerated movement we apply the following formula :

vf = v₀ + a*t   Formula (2)

Where:  

t: time interval  (m)

v₀: initial speed  (m/s)

vf: final speed   (m/s)

Data:

v₀ = 23.2 m/s

vf = 0

a =  -0.97 m/s²  

Time it takes for the block to stop

We replace data in the formula (2)  to calculate the time

vf= v₀+a*t

0 = 23.2+( -0.97)*t

(0.97)*t  = 23.2

(0.97)*t  = 23.2

t = 23.2 / (0.97)

t = 23.92 s

The equation of motion is the relation between the distance, velocity, acceleration and time of a moving body.

The time taken for the block to come to stop is 23.92 seconds.

What is the third equation of motion?

The equation of motion is the relation between the distance, velocity, acceleration and time of a moving body.

The third equation of the motion for velocity can be given as,

[tex]v=u+at[/tex]

Here, [tex]u[/tex] is the initial body. [tex]a[/tex] is the acceleration of the body and [tex]t[/tex] is the time taken by it.

Given information-

The mass of the block is 16.8 kg.

The initial velocity of the block is 23.2 m/s.

The coefficient of kinetic friction (μk) is 0.426.

The magnitude of the force is 86.4 N.

The normal force on the block is equal to the weight of the block thus, the normal force is,

[tex]F_N=16.8\times9.8\\F_N=164.64 \rm N[/tex]

As the kinetic friction force is the product of the normal force and coefficient of kinetic friction. Thus,

[tex]F_k=164.64\times0.462\\F_k=70.13 \rm N[/tex]

To find the acceleration,

[tex]F-f_k=ma[/tex]

Put the values,

[tex]86.4-70.13=16.8\times a\\a=-0.97\rm m/s^2[/tex]

The final velocity using the third law of equation can be given as,

[tex]v_f=u+at[/tex]

Put the values,

[tex]0=23.2+(-0.97)t\\t=23.92[/tex]

Hence, the time taken for the block to come to stop is 23.92 seconds.
