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

A 5 kg ball rolling at 1.0 m/s hits a 15 kg ball at rest. The balls stick together after the collision What is the
Reika [66]

Answer:

0.25m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters

m₁  = 5kg

v₁ = 1.0m/s

m₂ = 15kg

v₂ = 0m/s

Unknown:

velocity after collision = ?

Solution:

Momentum before collision and after collision will be the same. For inelastic collision;

    m₁v₁ + m₂v₂  = v(m₁ + m₂)

Insert parameters and solve for v;

   5 x 1  + 15 x 0 = v (5 + 15 )

          5  = 20v

          v = \frac{5}{20}   = 0.25m/s

Explain imprinting in relation to Lorenz's geese. What would most likely have happened if the first thing the goslings saw was a
iragen [17]

If the first thing that the goslings saw was a dog, they would have followed the dog as a mother.

Imprinting refers to the process of training an animal to bond with anything it sees after birth even if it is not its real mother. Lorenz first achieved imprinting in 1935 using geese which followed him as their mother shortly after they were born.

If the geese were exposed to a dog, they could also have seen the dog as their mother and followed it accordingly shortly after birth.

stepladder [879]

Answer: D

Explanation:

A -amount of work

F-force

s-distance

If you keep same Force(F) and increase distance(s), amount of work will increase, according to:

A=F*s
