Oceanography covers a wide range of topics, including marine life and ecosystems, ocean circulation, plate tectonics and the geology of the seafloor, and the chemical and physical properties of the ocean. Just as there are many specialties within the medical field, there are many disciplines within oceanography.

In the final situation below, the 8.0 kg box has been launched with a speed of 10.0 m/s across a frictionless surface. Find the

Murljashka [212]

Answer:

the energy of the spring at the start is 400 J.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the box, m = 8.0 kg

final speed of the box, v = 10 m/s

Apply the principle of conservation of energy to determine the energy of the spring at the start;

Final Kinetic energy of the box = initial elastic potential energy of the spring

K.E = Ux

¹/₂mv² = Ux

¹/₂ x 8 x 10² = Ux

400 J = Ux

Therefore, the energy of the spring at the start is 400 J.

How much momentum will a dumb-bell of mass 10 kg transfer

frosja888 [35]

We want to find how much momentum the dumbbell has at the moment it strikes the floor. Let's use this kinematics equation:

Vf² = Vi² + 2ad

Vf is the final velocity of the dumbbell, Vi is its initial velocity, a is its acceleration, and d is the height of its fall.

Given values:

Vi = 0m/s (dumbbell starts falling from rest)

a = 10m/s² (we'll treat downward motion as positive, this doesn't affect the result as long as we keep this in mind)

d = 80×10⁻²m

Plug in the values and solve for Vf:

Vf² = 2(10)(80×10⁻²)

Vf = ±4m/s

Reject the negative root.

Vf = 4m/s

The momentum of the dumbbell is given by:

p = mv

p is its momentum, m is its mass, and v is its velocity.

Given values:

m = 10kg

v = 4m/s (from previous calculation)

Plug in the values and solve for p:

p = 10(4)

p = 40kg×m/s

A gas occupies a volume of 1.0 m3 in a cylinder at a pressure of 120kPa. A piston compresses the gas until the volume is 0.25m3,

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

Approximately $480\; \rm kPa$ , assuming that this gas is an ideal gas.

Explanation:

Let $V(\text{Initial})$ and $P(\text{Initial})$ denote the volume and pressure of this gas before the compression.
Let $V(\text{Final})$ and $P(\text{Final})$ denote the volume and pressure of this gas after the compression.

By Boyle's Law, the pressure of a sealed ideal gas at constant temperature will be inversely proportional to its volume. Assume that this gas is ideal. By this ideal gas law:

$\displaystyle \frac{P(\text{Final})}{P(\text{Initial})} = \frac{V(\text{Initial})}{V(\text{Final})}$ .

Note that in Boyle's Law, $P$ is inversely proportional to $V$ . Therefore, on the two sides of this equation, "final" and "initial" are on different sides of the fraction bar.

For this particular question:

$V(\text{initial}) = 1.0\; \rm m^3$ .
$P(\text{Initial}) = 120\; \rm kPa$ .

$V(\text{final}) = 0.25\; \rm m^3$ .
The pressure after compression, $P(\text{Final})$ , needs to be found.

Rearrange the equation to obtain:

$\displaystyle P(\text{Final}) = \frac{V(\text{Initial})}{V(\text{Final})} \cdot P(\text{Initial})$ .

Before doing any calculation, think whether the pressure of this gas will go up or down. Since the gas is compressed, collisions between its particles and the container will become more frequent. Hence, the pressure of this gas should increase.

$\begin{aligned}P(\text{Final}) &= \frac{V(\text{Initial})}{V(\text{Final})} \cdot P(\text{Initial})\\ &= \frac{1.0\; \rm m^{3}}{0.25\; \rm m^{3}} \times 120\; \rm kPa = 480\; \rm kPa\end{aligned}$ .
