A block of mass 11.0 kg slides from rest down a frictionless 38.0° incline and is stopped by a strong spring with

Answer:

11.72 mm

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy equals the potential energy of the spring hence

PE_{gravitational}=PE_{spring}

mgh=0.5kx^{2} where m is the mass of object, g is the acceleration due to gravity, h is the height, k is the spring constant and x is the extension of the spring

mgdsin\theta=0.5kx^{2} where \theta is the angle of inclination and d is the sliding distance

Making x the subject then

x=\sqrt {\frac {2mgdsin\theta}{k}}

Substituting the given values then

x=\sqrt{\frac {2\times 11\times 9.81\times 3\times sin 38}{2.9\times 10^{4}}}= 0.117240716\approx 11.72 mm

A bungee cord has a spring constant of 82.5 N/m. After jumping, a person oscillates with a period of 7.50 s. What is the mass of
Arada [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

T = 2π √ (m/k)

T / 2π = √ (m/k)

T√k = 2π √m

(T√k) / 2π = √m

( (T√k) / 2π)^2 = m

m = ( (7.5√82.5) / 2π)^2

m = 117.66 Kg

A red cross helicopter takes off from headquarters and flies 120 km at 70 degrees south of west. There it drops off some relief
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

130 km at 35.38 degrees north of east

Explanation:

Suppose the HQ is at the origin (x = 0, y = 0)

So the coordinates of the helicopter after the 1st flight is

x_1 = -120cos70^o = -41.04 km

y_1 = -120sin70^o = -112.763 km

After the 2nd flight its coordinate would be:

x_2 = x_1 - 75sin60^o = -41.04 - 64.95 = -106km

y_2 = y_1 + 75cos60^o = -112.763 + 37.5 = -75.263 km

So in order to fly back to its HQ it must fly a distance and direction of

s = \sqrt{y_2^2 + x_2^2} = \sqrt{75.263^2 + 106^2} = \sqrt{5664.519169 + 11236} = \sqrt{16900.519169} = 130 km

tan\theta = \frac{y_2}{x_2} = \frac{75.263}{106} = 0.71

\theta = tan^{-1}0.71 = 0.62 rad \approx 35.38^o north of east

Which illustrates the law of conservation of matter? A. producers because they create new matter B. decomposers because they des
Klio2033 [76]

D. compost bins because they recycle matter into a new form

Explanation:

  • The law of conservation of matter is about the creation and how matter is being transferred. According to the law, the matter cannot be destroyed. The matter should always be transferred from one form to another in the universe. There is never destruction of matter happens. There is also one more point to it, as it cannot be destroyed it also cannot be created.
  • Here in the options, option A tells us the creation which is not possible, option B says about the destruction of matter which is not true according to the law, C is about storing the matter which will not happen because its get transferred and D is the correct option because it talks about the recycle/ transfer of matter.
