The board is 2.50m high.

Why?

We can calculate how high was the board applying the Law of Conservation of Mechanical Energy. This Law states that the mechanical energy (kinematic and potential) will be conserved during the motion.

It can be described with the following formula:

$E_{M_{1}}=E_{M_{2}}\\\\PE_{1}+KE_{1}=PE_{2}+KE_{2}$

$PE=m*g*h\\KE=\frac{1}{2}m*v^{2}$

At the top of the boar, the kinetic energy is equal to 0.

At the water, the potential energy is equal to 0.

So,

$PE_{1}=KE_{2}\\\\m*g*h=1450J\\\\59.3kg*9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}*h=1450J\\ \\h=\frac{1450J}{59.3kg*9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}}=2.50m$

Hence, we have that the board is 2.50m high.

Have a nice day!

A box sliding on a horizontal frictionless surface runs into a fixed spring, compressing it a distance x1 from its relaxed posit

inn [45]

Answer:twice of initial value

Explanation:

Given

spring compresses $x_1$ distance for some initial speed

Suppose v is the initial speed and k be the spring constant

Applying conservation of energy

kinetic energy converted into spring Elastic potential energy

$\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=\dfrac{1}{2}kx_1^2----1$

When speed doubles

$\dfrac{1}{2}m(2v)^2=\dfrac{1}{2}kx_2^2----2$

divide 1 and 2

$\dfrac{1}{4}=\dfrac{x_1^2}{x_2^2}$

$x_2=2x_1$

Therefore spring compresses twice the initial value

1. A 2.5 kg led projector is launched as a projectile off a tall building. At one point, as it

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

I got everything but i. Don't know why but it's eluding me. So let's do everything but that.

a. PE = mgh so

PE = (2.5)(98)(14) and

PE = 340 J

b. $KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$ so

$KE=\frac{1}{2}(2.5)(14)^2$ and

KE = 250 J

c. TE = KE + PE so

TE = 340 + 250 and

TE = 590 J

d. PE at 8.7 m:

PE = (2.5)(9.8)(8.7) and

PE = 210 J

e. The KE at the same height:

TE = KE + PE and

590 = KE + 210 so

KE = 380 J

f. The velocity at that height:

$380=\frac{1}{2}(2.5)v^2$ and

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2(380)}{2.5} }$ so

v = 17 m/s

g. The velocity at a height of 11.6 m (these get a bit more involed as we move forward!). First we need to find the PE at that height and then use it in the TE equation to solve for KE, then use the value for KE in the KE equation to solve for velocity:

590 = KE + PE and

PE = (2.5)(9.8)(11.6) so

PE = 280 then

590 = KE + 280 so

KE = 310 then

$310=\frac{1}{2}(2.5)v^2$ and

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2(310)}{2.5} }$ so

v = 16 m/s

h. This one is a one-dimensional problem not using the TE. This one uses parabolic motion equations. We know that the initial velocity of this object was 0 since it started from the launcher. That allows us to find the time at which the object was at a velocity of 26 m/s. Let's do that first:

$v=v_0+at$ and

26 = 0 + 9.8t and

26 = 9.8t so the time at 26 m/s is

t = 2.7 seconds. Now we use that in the equation for displacement:

Δx = $v_0t+\frac{1}{2}at^2$ and filling in the time the object was at 26 m/s:

Δx = 0t + $\frac{1}{2}(-9.8)2.7)^2$ so

Δx = 36 m

i. ??? In order to find the velocity at which the object hits the ground we would need to know the initial height so we could find the time it takes to hit the ground, and then from there, sub all that in to find final velocity. In my estimations, we have 2 unknowns and I can't seem to see my way around that connundrum.
