KE = 1/2 mv^2
in this case, the initial kinetic energy which is converted to heat is
KE = 1/2 1400 (12)^2
KE = 100,800 J
Answer:
Explanation:
potential energy of compressed spring
= 1/2 k d²
= 1/2 x 730 d²
= 365 d²
This energy will be given to block of mass of 1.2 kg in the form of kinetic energy .
Kinetic energy after crossing the rough patch
= 1/2 x 1.2 x 2.3²
= 3.174 J
Loss of energy
= 365 d² - 3.174
This loss is due to negative work done by frictional force
work done by friction = friction force x width of patch
= μmg d , μ = coefficient of friction , m is mass of block , d is width of patch
= .44 x 1.2 x 9.8 x .05
= .2587 J
365 d² - 3.174 = .2587
365 d² = 3.4327
d² = 3.4327 / 365
= .0094
d = .097 m
= 9.7 cm
If friction increases , loss of energy increases . so to achieve same kinetic energy , d will have to be increased so that initial energy increases so compensate increased loss .
a substance dissolves.
like adding a soluble salt to water, it just dissolves, i.e dissociates homogeneously as water is able to dissociate salts (ionic compounds) into its ions. (it can also dissociate other non-ionic compounds like HCL)
the salt still remains chemically as a salt and is unchanged chemically thus it is not an indication of a chemical reaction as no chemical reaction has taken place.
the formation of a precipitate is a chemical reaction because a new substance (i.e new chemical) is formed. For example adding aqueous sodium hydroxide into an aqueous solution with CU2+ cations will form a blue precipitate (that is copper (II) hydroxide which is insoluble, hence it precipitates). Since a new chemical is formed, a chemical reaction has taken place and thus indicates a chemical reaction.
color change... im not sure but usually a color change will only occur when a new substance is formed. Like iron corrodes (i.e rust) slowly in moist air to form hydrated iron (III) oxide that is rust. (brown color).
usually adding a mixture to a mixture has little energy change, i.e little heat taken in by the reaction mixture or little heat given out by the reaction mixture. Whereas when a new substance is formed, there is usually noticeable energy change like the container gets colder or hotter (without heat being supplied of course). For example dissolving basic oxides into water releases energy ( more energy released than gained = exothermic reaction).
i think that should be the answer... hope it helped :D
