(a) The compression of the spring is 0.074 m.

(b) The potential energy of block will be converted to elastic potential energy of the spring when the block comes to rest.

<h3>Compression of the spring [ x ]</h3>

The compression of the spring is calculated as follows;

F = kx

mg = kx

x = mg/k

where;

  • m is mass of the object
  • k is the spring constant

x = (3 x 9.8) / (400)

x = 0.074 m

<h3>Motion of the block</h3>

Based on the principle of conservation of energy, the potential energy of block will be converted to elastic potential energy of the spring when the block comes to rest.

A student is about to sled down a hill. He stands on a hill which is 30 meters tall and he weighs 40kg what is his GPE
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

11760J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Height of hill  = 30m

Weight  = 40kg

Unknown:

Gravitational potential energy  = ?

Solution:

To find the gravitational potential energy, it is the energy due to the position of a body;

     G.PE  = mgh

m is the mass

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height

 Now insert the parameters and solve;

      G.PE = 40 x 9.8 x 30  = 11760J

At a given moment in time, instantaneous speed can be thought of as the magnitude of instantaneous
kaheart [24]

At a given moment in time, the instantaneous speed can be thought of as the magnitude of instantaneous velocity.

Instantaneous speed is the magnitude of the instantaneous velocity, the instantaneous velocity has direction but the instantaneous speed does not have any direction. Hence, the instantaneous speed has the same value as that of the magnitude of the instantaneous velocity. It doesn't have any direction.

Richard is driving home to visit his parents. 135 mi of the trip are on the interstate highway where the speed limit is 65 mph .
Elis [28]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

He saves 13.2 minutes

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Hey! The question is incomplete, but it can be found on the internet. The question is:

How many minutes did he save?

Let's call:

t_{1}:Time \ at \ speed \ 65mph \\ \\ t_{2}:Time \ at \ speed \ 73mph \\ \\ v_{1}=65mph \\ \\ v_{2}=73mph

We know that the 135 miles are on the interstate highway where the speed limit is 65 mph. From this, we can calculate the time it takes to drive on this highway. Assuming Richard maintains constant the speed:

v=\frac{d}{t} \\ \\ d:distance \\ \\ t:time \\ \\ v:velocity \\ \\ t_{1}=\frac{d}{v_{1}} \\ \\ t=\frac{135}{65} \\ \\ t_{1}=2.07 \ hours

Today he is running late and decides to take his chances by driving at 73 mph, so the new time it takes to take the trip is:

t_{2}=\frac{135}{73} \\ \\ t_{2}=1.85 \ hours

So he saves the time t_{s}:

t_{s}=t_{1}-t_{2}=2.07-1.85=0.22 \ hours

In minutes:

t_{s}=0.22h\left(\frac{60min}{1h}\right) \\ \\ \boxed{t_{s}=13.2min}
