Break into small particles. The heat causes the rock to break up and form pebbles or sand. Hope that helped. Have a nice day
A) 
The total energy of the system is equal to the maximum elastic potential energy, that is achieved when the displacement is equal to the amplitude (x=A):
(1)
where k is the spring constant.
The total energy, which is conserved, at any other point of the motion is the sum of elastic potential energy and kinetic energy:
(2)
where x is the displacement, m the mass, and v the speed.
We want to know the displacement x at which the elastic potential energy is 1/3 of the kinetic energy:

Using (2) we can rewrite this as

And using (1), we find

Substituting
into the last equation, we find the value of x:

B) 
In this case, the kinetic energy is 1/10 of the total energy:

Since we have

we can write

And so we find:

Answer:
you must throw 3 snowballs
Explanation:
We can solve this exercise using the concepts of conservation of the moment, let's define the system as formed by the refrigerator and all the snowballs. Let's write the moment
Initial. Before bumping that refrigerator
p₀ = n m v₀
Where n is the snowball number
Final. When the refrigerator moves
pf = (n m + M) v
The moment is preserved because the forces during the crash are internal
n m v₀ = (n m + M) v
n m (v₀ - v) = M v
n = M/m v/(vo-v)
Let's look for the initial velocity of the balls, suppose the person throws them with the maximum force if it slides in the snow (F = 100N), let's use the second law and Newton
F = m a
a = F / m
The distance the ball travels from zero speed to maximum speed is the extension of the arm (x = 1 m), let's look kinematically for the speed of the balls when leaving the arm
v₁² = v₀² + 2 a x
v₁² = 0+ 2 (100/1) 1
v₁ = 14.14 m / s
This is the initial speed for the crash
v₀ = v = 14.14 m / s
Let's calculate
n = M/m v/ (v₀-v)
n = 10/1 3 / (14.14 -3)
n = 2.7 balls
you must throw 3 snowballs
Answer:
v=9.6 km/s
Explanation:
Given that
The mass of the car = m
The mass of the truck = 4 m
The velocity of the truck ,u= 12 km/s
The final velocity when they stick = v
If there is no any external force on the system then the total linear momentum of the system will be conserve.
Pi = Pf
m x 0 + 4 m x 12 = (m + 4 m) x v
0 + 48 m = 5 m v
5 v = 48

v=9.6 km/s
Therefore the final velocity will be 9.6 km/s.
