Answer:

When the car crashes, there is no unbalanced force acting on the person, so they continue forward (Newton's First Law). The person moves against the seat belt, exerting a force on it.

A ceiling fan draws a current of 0.625 A and has a voltage of 120 V. The resistance of the ceiling fan, to the nearest whole num

Fiesta28 [93]

So we want to know what is the resistance of the ceiling fan if the current I=0.625 A and the voltage V=120 V. So we can get the resistance from Ohms law: I=V/R where I is the current, V is voltage and R is resistance. So the resistance is R=V/I. Now we input the numbers and get: R=120/0.625=192 Ω. That is resistance to the closest whole number.

A 0.600 kg block is attached to a spring with spring constant 15 N/m. While the block is sitting at rest, a student hits it with

gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

8.8 cm

31.422 cm/s

Explanation:

m = Mass of block = 0.6 kg

k = Spring constant = 15 N/m

x = Compression of spring

v = Velocity of block

A = Amplitude

As the energy of the system is conserved we have

$\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=\dfrac{1}{2}kA^2\\\Rightarrow A=\sqrt{\dfrac{mv^2}{k}}\\\Rightarrow A=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.6\times 0.44^2}{15}}\\\Rightarrow A=0.088\ m\\\Rightarrow A=8.8\ cm$

Amplitude of the oscillations is 8.8 cm

At x = 0.7 A

Again, as the energy of the system is conserved we have

$\dfrac{1}{2}kA^2=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2+\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\dfrac{k(A^2-x^2)}{m}}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\dfrac{15(0.088^2-(0.7\times 0.088)^2)}{0.6}}\\\Rightarrow v=0.31422\ m/s$

The block's speed is 31.422 cm/s
