A box is initially sliding across a frictionless floor toward a spring which is attached to a wall. the box hits the end of the

spring and compresses it, eventually coming to rest for an instant before bouncing back the way it came. the work done by the spring on the box as the spring compresses is:

The elastic potential energy of a spring is given by
U= \frac{1}{2}kx^2
where k is the spring's constant and x is the displacement with respect to the relaxed position of the spring.

The work done by the spring is the negative of the potential energy difference between the final and initial condition of the spring:
W=-\Delta U =  \frac{1}{2}kx_i^2 -  \frac{1}{2}kx_f^2

In our problem, initially the spring is uncompressed, so x_i=0. Therefore, the work done by the spring when it is compressed until x_f is
W=- \frac{1}{2}kx_f^2
And this value is actually negative, because the box is responsible for the spring's compression, so the work is done by the box.

For the following elementary reaction 2br• -> br2-. The rate of consumption of the reaction and the rate of formation of prod
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer: -\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{d[Br^.]}{dt}=+\frac{d[Br_2]}{dt}

Explanation:

Rate of a reaction is defined as the rate of change of concentration per unit time.

Thus for reaction:

2Br^.\rightarrow Br_2

The rate in terms of reactants is given as negative as the concentration of reactants is decreasing with time whereas the rate in terms of products is given as positive as the concentration of products is increasing with time.

Rate=-\frac{d[Br^.]}{2dt}

or Rate=+\frac{d[Br_2]}{dt}

Thus -\frac{d[Br^.]}{2dt}=+\frac{d[Br_2]}{dt}

At what position in its elliptical orbit is the speed of a planet a maximum? when it is closest to the sun when it is farthest f
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

1.when it is closest to the sun

2.when it is midway between its farthest

Explanation:

According to the law of  Kepler's

T ² ∝ r³

T=Time period

r=semi major axis

We also know that time period T given as

T=\dfrac{2\pi r}{v}

v=Speed

v=\dfrac{2\pi r}{T}

v\alpha \dfrac{r}{T}

v\alpha \dfrac{r}{T}

v^2\alpha \dfrac{r^2}{T^2}

v^2\alpha \dfrac{r^2}{r^3}

v^2\alpha \dfrac{1}{r}

v\alpha \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{r}}

So we can say that ,when r is more then the speed will be minimum and when r is low then speed will be maximum.

What kind of weather would MOST LIKELY lead to hurricane formation?
krok68 [10]

Answer:

The recipe for a hurricane is a combination of warm, humid wind over tropical waters. The temperature of tropical waters must be at least 80 degrees F for up to 165 feet below the ocean’s surface. As this warm water meets the wind that blows west from Africa across the ocean, it causes the water to vaporize. The water vapor then rises into the atmosphere, where it cools and liquefies.

inna [77]

Answer:

135° (degrees)

Explanation:

The Earth rotates 360° in about 24 h

How many degrees in 1 hour

360^{\circ}=24\ h\\\Rightarrow 1\ h=\frac{360}{24}\\\Rightarrow 1\ h=15^{\circ}

So, in 1 hour the Earth rotates 15 degrees. This means that a person would have to reset their watch by 1 hour after travelling 15 degrees

In 9 hours

9\ h=9\times 15^{\circ}=135^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow 9\ h=135^{\circ}

So, a person would have to travel 135 degrees in order to reset their watch by 9 hours.
