A 15-kg block at rest on a horizontal frictionless surface is attached to a very light ideal spring of force constant 450 N/m. T

he other end of the spring is attached to a fixed wall. A lump of putty travels horizontally with a speed of 8.0 m/s towards the block from the side directly opposite the spring. The putty strikes and sticks to the block. What is the maximum distance the spring is compressed after the impact

Answer:

0.266 m

Explanation:

Assuming the lump of patty is 3 Kg then applying the principal of conservation of linear momentum,

P= mv where p is momentum, m is mass and v is the speed of an object. In this case

m_pv_p=v_c(m_p+m_b) where sunscripts p and b represent putty and block respectively, c is common velocity.

Substituting the given values then

3*8=v(15+3)

V=24/18=1.33 m/s

The resultant kinetic energy is transferred to spring hence we apply the law of conservation of energy

0.5(m_p+m_b)v_c^{2}=0.5kx^{2} where k is spring constant and x is the compression of spring. Substituting the given values then

(3+15)*1.33^{2}=450*x^{2}\\x\approx 0.266 m

A mechanic changing the spark plugs in a car notes that the instruction manual calls for a torque with a magnitude of
Papessa [141]

The magnitude (in N) of the force she must exert on the wrench is 150.1 N.

<h3>Force exerted by the wrench</h3>

The force exerted by the wrench is calculated using torque formula as follows;

torque, τ = F x r x sinθ

where;

  • F is the applied force
  • r is the perpendicular distance if force applied

F =  τ /(r sinθ)

F = (39) / (0.3 sin 60)

F = 150.1 N

Thus, the magnitude (in N) of the force she must exert on the wrench is 150.1 N.

Which of these factors will increase the speed of a sound wave in air?
Artemon [7]
<h3>Answer;</h3>

-Temperature

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • Sound is a type of mechanical wave, which means it requires a material medium for transmission. It results from the vibration of particles.
  • The speed of sound in mediums varies depending on the property of the medium and a number of other factors which includes; temperature, pressure,  and humidity.
  • Temperature increases the speed of sound wave as particles at higher temperatures tend to possess more energy and thus they will vibrate faster and thus the sound wave will travel faster.

a force of 17 acts on a block of mass 4kg the forces of friction opposing the motion is 5n . the acceleration of the block is​
Nady [450]
Fk = μK N

N = m a

N = 4 × a

N = 4a

Fk = μK N

17 = 5 × 4a

17 = 20 a

a = ¹⁷/₂₀ = 0.85 m/s²

A plane travels at a speed of 205mph in still air. Flying with a tailwind, the plane is clocked over a distance of 1000 miles. F
vaieri [72.5K]

While plane is moving under tailwind condition it took time "t"

so here we will have

t = \frac{d}{v_{net}}

here net speed of the plane will be given as

v_{net} = v + v_w

t = \frac{1000}{205 + v_w}

similarly when it moves under the condition of headwind its net speed is given as

v_{net} = v - v_w

now time taken to cover the distance is 2 hours more

t + 2 = \frac{1000}{205 - v_w}

now solving two equations

\frac{1000}{205 + v_w} + 2 = \frac{1000}{205 - v_w}

solving above for v_w we got

v_w = 40.4 mph
