Answer:

a) k= 3594,7 N/m

b) v= 0.55 m/s

Explanation:

  • a)
  • As the surface is horizontal, the only change in energy will be the change in kinetic energy, as the box comes to an stop after compressing the spring.
  • As we know that the surface is frictionless also, this change in kinetic energy must be equal to the change in the elastic potential energy of the spring.
  • So we can write the following equality:

       \Delta K = \Delta U

       where \Delta K = \frac{1}{2}*m*v^{2}

       and \Delta U = \frac{1}{2} * k* \Delta x^{2}

  • Simplifying and replacing by the values, we get:

        3.00 kg* (1.8 m/s)^{2} = k* (0.052 m) ^{2}        

  • Solving for k:

k = \frac{3.00kg*(1.8m/s)^{2} }{(0.052m)^{2}} = 3594.7 N/m

  • k = 3594.7 N/m
  • b)
  • For this part, we can just apply the same equality, replacing the value of k by the one we got, and solving for the initial speed v:

        v = \sqrt{\frac{k*\Delta x^{2}}{m} } = \sqrt{\frac{3594.7N/m*(0.016m)^{2} }{3.00kg}} = 0.55 m/s

  • v = 0.55 m/s

What is the strength of the electric field in a region where the electric potential is constant?
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

Where the electric potential is constant, the strength of the electric field is zero.

Explanation:

As a test charge moves in a given direction, the rate of change of the electric potential of the charge gives the potential gradient whose negative value is the same as the value of the electric field. In other words, the negative of the slope or gradient of electric potential (V) in a direction, say x, gives the electric field (Eₓ) in that direction. i.e

Eₓ = - dV / dx        ----------(i)

From equation (i) above, if electric potential (V) is constant, then the differential (which is the electric field) gives zero.

<em>Therefore, a constant electric potential means that electric field is zero.</em>

Earth can be modeled with five layers based on the strengths and physical properties of the materials in them. Put the layers in
andre [41]

Answer:

Crust, Upper mantle, mantle, outer core, inner core

Explanation:

The Earth's layers have been clasified in 5 according to the materials that conform them, theri physical properties, strengths and also their state of matter. We all know how the outer layer of the Earth looks like, but if we start to dig a huge hole we are going to see different types por materials due to a change in pressure, temperature, and other factors. At the very center of the Earth there's what's called "core". The core is liquid and at extremely high temperatures. This is because of the enormous amount of pressure the rest of the Earth is putting it under. So, if we list the different layers of the Earth according to the materials they are made of, from the Earth's surface to the core, the answer is:

1) Crust (surface)

2) Upper Mantle

3) Mantle

4) Outer core

5) Inner core

In some books you may find a layer called Lithosphere. Tis layer consists not only of the crust, but also it contains the transition zone between the upper mantle and the crust.

What type of material is good at transferring heat?
MatroZZZ [7]
The answer is A

Materials that are good conductors of thermal energy are called thermal conductors. Metals are very good thermal conductors. Materials that are poor conductors of thermal energy are called thermal insulators. Gases such as air and materials such as plastic and wood are thermal insulators
