Given the fact that near the equator you have the sun at roughly the same level all year, you deal with very little to no temperature change, whereas North or South of the equator experiences temperature change due to increasing or decreasing distance from the sun when the earth tilts on its axis.

Carbs Provide Your Body With Energy

Proteins help your body build new cells, repair old cells, create hormones and enzymes, and keep your immune system healthy

Calcium is a mineral that people need to build and maintain strong bones and teeth. It is also very important for other physical functions, such as muscle control and blood circulation.

Stored body fat is called adipose tissue. Stored fat not only provides an energy reserve, but also cushions and protects internal organs. In addition, stored fat insulates the body and helps prevent heat loss in cold weather

A spring is used to stop a 50-kg package which is moving down a 20º incline. The spring has a constant k = 30 kN/m and is held b

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

0.3 m

Explanation:

Initially, the package has both gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy. The spring has elastic energy. After the package is brought to rest, all the energy is stored in the spring.

Initial energy = final energy

mgh + ½ mv² + ½ kx₁² = ½ kx₂²

Given:

m = 50 kg

g = 9.8 m/s²

h = 8 sin 20º m

v = 2 m/s

k = 30000 N/m

x₁ = 0.05 m

(50)(9.8)(8 sin 20) + ½ (50)(2)² + ½ (30000)(0.05)² = ½ (30000)x₂²

x₂ ≈ 0.314 m

So the spring is compressed 0.314 m from it's natural length. However, we're asked to find the additional deformation from the original 50mm.

x₂ − x₁

0.314 m − 0.05 m

0.264 m

Rounding to 1 sig-fig, the spring is compressed an additional 0.3 meters.

A car traveling at 27.4 m/s hits a bridge abutment. A passenger in the car, who has a mass of 65.0 kg, moves forward a distance

Minchanka [31]

Answer:

$F=43570.9N$

Explanation:

We can calculate the acceleration experimented by the passenger using the formula $v_f^2=v_i^2+2ad$ , taking the initial direction of movement as the positive direction and considering it comes to a rest:
