A 360.0 $g$ block is dropped onto a vertical spring with a spring constant k = 254.0 $N/m$. The block becomes attached to the sp

ring, and the spring compresses 0.26 $m$ before momentarily stopping. While the spring is being compressed, what work is done by the block's weight?

7 0

Answer:

8.6 J

Explanation:

Work done by the block = change in energy in the spring

W = ½ kx²

W = ½ (254.0 N/m) (0.26 m)²

W = 8.6 J

frutty [35]

Answer:

1. Motion

2. Empty space

3. Far apart

4. Independently

5. Random or rapid

6. Collision

7. Kinetic energy

8. Atmospheric

9. 273 Kelvin or 0° Celsius

10. 1 atm, 101.3 kPa or 760 mmHg

Explanation:

In science, matter can be defined as anything that has mass and occupies space. Any physical object that is found on earth is typically composed of matter. Matter are known to be made up of atoms and as a result has the property of existing in states.

Generally, matter exists in three (3) distinct or classical phases and these are;

I. Gas.

II. Solid.

III. Liquid.

Filling the missing words or texts in the question, we have;

The kinetic theory describes the motion of particles in matter and the forces of attraction between them. The theory assumes that the volume occupied by a gas is mostly empty space, that the particles of gas are relatively far apart, move independently of each other, and are in constant random or rapid motion. The collision between particles are perfectly elastic so that the total kinetic energy remains constant. Gas pressure results from the simultaneous collisions of billions of particles with an object. Barometers are used to measure atmospheric pressure. Standard conditions are defined as a temperature of 273 Kelvin or 0° Celsius and a pressure of 1 atm, 101.3 kPa or 760 mmHg.

Taylor Swift weighing 794 N gets on an elevator. The elevator uses 313 W of power to lift the person 22.0 m. How much time did t
mezya [45]

Answer:

55.80s

Explanation:

Power is calculated using the expression

Power = Work done/Time

Workdone= Force ×distance

Workdone = 794×22

Work done = 17468Joules

From the power formula

Time = Workdone/Power

Time = 17468/313

Time = 55.80seconds

The elevator takes 55.80seconds to life the Taylor

A motorcyclist drove 7 km at 57km/h and then another 7 km at 81 km/h. What was the average speed? ​
alex41 [277]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>The average speed of the car is 66.9 km/h</em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Here distance covered with the speed <em>57 km/h=7 km  </em>

distance covered with the speed of <em>81 km/h=7 km</em>

<em>Average speed is equal to the ratio of total distance to the total time. </em>

<em>total distance= 7 + 7= 14 km  </em>

<em>time= \frac{distance}{speed} </em>

<em>time taken to cover the first 7 km= 7/57 h  </em>

<em>time taken to cover the second part of the journey = 7/81 h </em>

<em>average speed =  14/(7/57+7/81)=(14 \times 57 \times 81)/945=66.9 km/h</em>

<u><em>Shortcut: </em></u>

<em>When equal distances are covered with different speeds average speed=2 ab/(a+b) where a and b are the variable speeds in the phases. </em>

Suppose a ray of light traveling in a material with an index of refraction n a reaches an interface with a material having an in
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer: C and D

Explanation: One of the first rule for total internal reflection to occur is that the ray must move from a dense to a less dense medium, hence refractive index of medium a must be greater than that of b.

When a ray moves from a dense to a less dense medium, the refracted ray moves away from the normal thus increasing the size of the angle of refraction (total internal refraction occurs when the angle of refraction is 90° and the angle of incidence at this point is known as the critical angle), hence the angle of incidence must be greater than the critical angle.

These points verifies option C and D
