A scene in a movie has a stuntman falling through a floor onto a bed in the room below. The plan is to have the actor fall on hi
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

The maximum mass that can fall on the mattress without exceeding the maximum compression distance is 16.6 kg

Explanation:

Hi there!

Due to conservation of energy, the potential energy (PE) of the mass at a height of 3.32 m will be transformed into elastic potential energy (EPE) when it falls on the mattress:

PE = EPE

m · g · h = 1/2 k · x²

Where:

m = mass.

g = acceleration due to gravity.

h = height.

k = spring constant.

x = compression distance

The maximum compression distance is 0.1289 m, then, the maximum elastic potential energy will be the following:

EPE =1/2 k · x²

EPE = 1/2 · 65144 N/m · (0.1289 m)² = 541.2 J

Then, using the equation of gravitational potential energy:

PE = m · g · h =  541.2 J

m =  541.2 J/ g · h

m = 541.2 kg · m²/s² / (9.8 m/s² · 3.32 m)

m = 16.6 kg

The maximum mass that can fall on the mattress without exceeding the maximum compression distance is 16.6 kg.

A chemical equation lists NaHCO3(s) as a reactant. What does (s) indicate?
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

The (s) indicates that the state of matter for NaHCO3 is solid.

Explanation:

When a chemical reaction is written, the state of matter for each components of the reactants and products are mentioned in brackets along with their names or formulas.

For example, NaHCO3 has (s) mentioned in the brackets. The s shows that the state of matter for NaHCO3. (l) represents liquid format. (g) represents that the state of matter is gas.

If an ocean has a wavelength of 2 m and a frequency of 1 wave/s then it's speed is ___ m/s.
scoundrel [369]
V = f x lamda

Wave speed = frequency x wavelength
2x1 = 2 so wave speed = 2m/s
