Answer:
Explained
Explanation:
You should throw your boot in the direction away from the closest shore so that the reaction force is towards the closest shore.
Gravitational potential energy can be described as m*g*h (mass times gravity times height).
Originally,
15kg * 9.8m/s^2 *0.3 m = 44.1 kg*m^2/s^2 = 44.1 Joules.
After it is moved to a 1m shelf:
15kg * 9.8m/s * 1 = 147 kg*m^2/s^2= 147 Joules.
To find how much energy was added, we subtract final energy from initial energy:
147 J - 44.1 J = 102.9 Joules.

Show that the motion of a mass attached to the end of a spring is SHM
Consider a mass "m" attached to the end of an elastic spring. The other end of the spring is fixed
at the a firm support as shown in figure "a". The whole system is placed on a smooth horizontal surface.
If we displace the mass 'm' from its mean position 'O' to point "a" by applying an external force, it is displaced by '+x' to its right, there will be elastic restring force on the mass equal to F in the left side which is applied by the spring.
According to "Hook's Law
F = - Kx ---- (1)
Negative sign indicates that the elastic restoring force is opposite to the displacement.
Where K= Spring Constant
If we release mass 'm' at point 'a', it moves forward to ' O'. At point ' O' it will not stop but moves forward towards point "b" due to inertia and covers the same displacement -x. At point 'b' once again elastic restoring force 'F' acts upon it but now in the right side. In this way it continues its motion
from a to b and then b to a.
According to Newton's 2nd law of motion, force 'F' produces acceleration 'a' in the body which is given by
F = ma ---- (2)
Comparing equation (1) & (2)
ma = -kx
Here k/m is constant term, therefore ,
a = - (Constant)x
or
a a -x
This relation indicates that the acceleration of body attached to the end elastic spring is directly proportional to its displacement. Therefore its motion is Simple Harmonic Motion.

Answer:
Yes, the calorie can be expressed in SI units
Explanation:
1 calorie (1 cal) is defined as the amount of heat energy that must be supplied to 1 gram of water in order to raise its temperature by 1 degree Celsius (
.
The calorie is not a unit of the International System (SI): the SI unit for the energy is the Joule (J).
However, it is possible to convert energy from calories to Joules, and viceversa. In fact, the conversion factor between the two units is:
1 calorie = 4.184 Joules
So, to convert from calories to Joules we simply multiply by 4.184, while if we want to convert from Joules to calories, we just divide by 4.184.
