Genrish500 [490]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Material's density

Explanation:

Seismic waves travel at different rates of speed based on a material's density. Hopefully, you understand that the Earth has three main layers: the crust, mantle, and core. Earthquake waves move faster through solids.

sonic is sliding down a frictionless 15m tall hill. He starts at the top with a velocity of 10m/s. At the bottom of the hill he
podryga [215]

Answer:

The maximum speed of sonic at the bottom of the hill is equal to 19.85m/s and the spring constant of the spring is equal to (497.4xmass of sonic) N/m

Energy approach has been used to sole the problem.

The points of interest for the analysis of the problem are point 1 the top of the hill and point 2 the bottom of the hill just before hitting the spring

The maximum velocity of sonic is independent of the his mass or the geometry. It is only depends on the vertical distance involved

Explanation:

The step by step solution to the problem can be found in the attachment below. The principle of energy conservation has been applied to solve the problem. This means that if energy disappears in one form it will appear in another.

As in this problem, the potential and kinetic energy at the top of the hill were converted to only kinetic energy at the bottom of the hill. This kinetic energy too got converted into elastic potential energy .

x = compression of the spring = 0.89

to move a resting box of 100 Newton on the ground with kinetic friction coeficient of 0,250 is applied a force of 60 N horizonta
krok68 [10]
Work is calculated by multiplying force by the distance that the object had moved. The applied force is 60 N, moving the object by 10 m. Thus, the work does is 600 J. For the friction force which is equal to,
                          100N x 0.250 = 25.0 N
the work done is,
                        W = (60 N - 25 N) x 10 m = 350 J
The kinetic energy of the box can be equated to this force. Thus, the answer is also 350 J.

A 14n force is applied for 0.33 seconds, calculate the impulse
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

4.62 N-s

Explanation:

recall that the formula for impulse is given by

Impulse = Force x change in time

in our case, we are given

Force = 14 N

change in time = 0.33s

Simply substituting the above into the equation for impulse, we get

Impulse = Force x change in time

Impulse = 14 x 0.33

= 4.62 N-s
