Notice that all the initial spring potential energy was transformed into gravitational potential energy. If you compressed the s

pring to a distance of 0.200 m , how far up the slope will an identical ice cube travel before reversing directions? Note that the spring is compressed twice as much as in the original problem.

<u><em>The  question doesn't provide enough data to be solved, but I'm assuming some magnitudes to help you to solve your own problem</em></u>

Answer:

<em>The maximum height is 0.10 meters</em>

Explanation:

<u>Energy Transformation</u>

It's referred to as the change of one energy from one form to another or others. If we compress a spring and then release it with an object being launched on top of it, all the spring (elastic) potential energy is transformed into kinetic and gravitational energies. When the object stops in the air, all the initial energy is now gravitational potential energy.

If a spring of constant K is compressed a distance x, its potential energy is

\displaystyle P_E=\frac{Kx^2}{2}

When the launched object (mass m) reaches its max height h, all that energy is now gravitational, which is computed as

U=mgh

We have then,

U=P_E

\displaystyle mgh=\frac{Kx^2}{2}

Solving for h

\displaystyle h=\frac{Kx^2}{2mg}

We have little data to work on the problem, so we'll assume some values to answer the question and help to solve the problem at hand

Let's say: x=0.2 m (given), K=100 N/m, m=2 kg

Computing the maximum height

\displaystyle h=\frac{(100)0.2^2}{2(2)(9.8)}

\displaystyle h=\frac{4}{39.2}=0,10\ m

The maximum height is 0.10 meters

°C = (5/9) · (°F-32)

The "wet" thermometer is the upper one ... you can see the wet cloth wrapped around the bulb at the end.  It's reading 70° F.

°C = (5/9) · (38) = 21.1° C

The "dry" thermometer is the lower one.  It's reading 80° F.

°C = (5/9) · (48) = 26.7° C

So it looks like choice-A is your answer.

Define the types of friction and give FOUR examples of each
Verdich [7]

Answer:

Static Friction - acts on objects when they are resting on a surface

Sliding Friction -  friction that acts on objects when they are sliding over a surface

Rolling Friction - friction that acts on objects when they are rolling over a surface

Fluid Friction - friction that acts on objects that are moving through a fluid

Explanation:

Examples of static include papers on a tabletop, towel hanging on a rack, bookmark in a book , car parked on a hill.

Example of sliding include sledding, pushing an object across a surface, rubbing one's hands together, a car sliding on ice.

Examples of rolling include truck tires, ball bearings, bike wheels, and car tires.

Examples of fluid include water pushing against a swimmer's body as they move through it , the movement of your coffee as you stir it with a spoon,  sucking water through a straw, submarine moving through water.
