The potential energy of the spring is 6.75 J

The elastic potential energy stored in the spring is given by the equation:

E= \frac{1}{2} kx^2

where;

k is the spring constant

x is the compression/stretching of the string

In this problem, we have the spring as follows:

k = 150 N/m is the spring constant

x = 0.3 m is the compression

Substituting in the equation, we get

E=\frac{1}{2} (150) (0.3)^2

E=6.75J

Therefore. the elastic potential energy stored in the spring is 6.75J .

At one instant, the center of mass of a system of two particles is located on the x-axis at 2.0 cm and has a velocity of (5.0 m/
Nata [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

At one instant,

Center of mass is at 2m

Xcm = 2m

And velocity =5•i m/s

One of the particle is at the origin

M1=? X1 =0

The other has a mass M2=0.1kg

And it is at rest at position X2= 8m

a. Center of mass is given as

Xcm = (M1•X1 + M2•X2) / (M1+M2)

2 = (M1×0 + 0.1×8) /(M1 + 0.1)

2 = (0+ 0.8) /(M1 + 0.1)

Cross multiply

2(M1+0.1) = 0.8

2M1 + 0.2 =0.8

2M1 = 0.8-0.2

2M1 = 0.6

M1 = 0.6/2

M1 = 0.3kg

b. Total momentum, this is an inelastic collision and it momentum after collision is given as

P= (M1+M2)V

P = (0.3+0.1)×5•i

P = 0.4 × 5•i

P = 2 •i kgm/s

c. Velocity of particle at origin

Using conversation of momentum

Momentum before collision is equal to momentum after collision

P(before) = M1 • V1 + M2 • V2

We are told that M2 is initially at rest, then, V2=0

So, P(before) = 0.3V1

We already got P(after) = 2 •i kgm/s in part b of the question

Then,

P(before) = P(after)

0.3V1 = 2 •i

V1 = 2/0.3 •i

V1 = 6 ⅔ •i m/s

V1 = 6.667 •i m/s

According to the navigation rules, which must be aboard a 22-foot powerboat
melomori [17]
The navigation rules for countries in the Unites States are compiled in the U.S. Coast Guard. There are actually boating courses that are recognized by the U.S Coast Guard. One of the things they discuss there is the emergency aids every boat should have depending on the size and purpose. For recreational vessels with lengths measuring less than 39.4 feet, they must carry aboard an efficient sound producing device. This will serve as your signal when emergencies happen and you have to get the attention of nearby boat vessels. Hence, for practical purposes, every boat should have a whistle or a horn.

Vector vector b has x, y, and z components of 4.00, 4.00, and 2.00 units, respectively. calculate the magnitude of vector
Sav [38]
Good morning.

We see that \mathsf{\overset{\to}{b}} = \mathsf{(4.00, \ 4.00, \ 2.00)}

The magnitude(norm, to be precise) can be calculated the following way:

\star \ \boxed{\mathsf{\overset{\to}{a}=(x, y,z)\Rightarrow ||\overset{\to}{a}|| = \sqrt{x^2+y^2+z^2}}}


Now the calculus is trivial:

\mathsf{\|\overset{\to}{b} \| =\sqrt{4^2+4^2+2^2} =\sqrt{16+16+4}}\\ \\ \mathsf{\|\overset{\to}{b}\|=\sqrt{36}}\\ \\ \boxed{\mathsf{\|\overset{\to}{b}\| = 6.00 \ u}}
