A 2.0-kg block sliding on a frictionless, horizontal surface is attached to one end of a horizontal spring (k = 600 N/m) which h

as its other end fixed. The speed of the block when the spring is extended 20 cm is equal to 3.0 m/s. What is the maximum speed of this block as it oscillates?

Answer:

Maximum speed of the block, v_{max} = 4.58 m/s

Explanation:

Mass of the block, m = 2.0 kg

Spring constant, k = 600 N/m

Spring extension, x = 20 cm = 0.2 m

Speed of the block due to the extension, v = 3.0 m/s

First, Potential energy, PE stored in the spring:

PE = 0.5 kx²

PE = 0.5 * 600 * 0.2²

PE = 12 J

Calculate the kinetic energy of the block due to the extension:

KE_x = 0.5 mv^2\\KE_x = 0.5 * 2 * 3^2\\KE_x = 9 J

The maximum Kinetic Energy of the block will be:

KE_{max} = 0.5 m v_{max}^2\\KE_{max} = 0.5 * 2 * v_{max}^2\\KE_{max} =  v_{max}^2

KE_{max} = KE_x + PE\\v_{max}^2 = 9 + 12\\ v_{max}^2 = 21\\ v_{max} = \sqrt{21} \\ v_{max} = 4.58 m/s

Which fossil fuel is produced as a by-product that occurs when bacteria decompose organic material under anaerobic conditions?
Mumz [18]

Bio-gas is the naturally produced fossil fuel, a by-product when bacteria decompose organic material under anaerobic conditions.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Organic matter particularly waste material is broken down by bacteria through fermentation in an environmental condition without any presence of oxygen. This process of decomposition leads to formation of bio-gas with "carbon dioxide and methane" in a 2:3 ratio.

The above biological process is termed as bio-digestion or anaerobic digestion. Methane is flammable and thus bio-gas can be used as "energy source", a waste-to-energy transformation. The remaining decomposed matter is ideal as manure for plants due to its rich nutrient level.

A sled of mass 2.12 kg has an initial speed of 5.49 m/s across a horizontal surface. The coefficient of kinetic friction between
Darya [45]

Answer:

The speed of the sled is 3.56 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass = 2.12 kg

Initial speed = 5.49 m/s

Coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.229

Distance = 3.89 m

We need to calculate the acceleration of sled

Using formula of acceleration

a = \dfrac{F}{m}

Where, F = frictional force

m = mass

Put the value into the formula

a=\dfrac{\mu mg}{m}

a=\mu g

a=0.229\times9.8

a=2.244\ m/s^2

We need to calculate the speed of the sled

Using equation of motion

v^2=u^2-2as

Where, v = final velocity

u = initial velocity

a = acceleration

s = distance

Put the value in the equation

v ^2=(5.49)^2-2\times2.244\times3.89

v=\sqrt{(5.49)^2-2\times2.244\times3.89}

v=3.56\ m/s

Hence, The speed of the sled is 3.56 m/s.
