A glider of mass 0.170 kg moves on a horizontal frictionless air track. It is permanently attached to one end of a massless hori

zontal spring, which has a force constant of 13.0 N/m both for extension and for compression. The other end of the spring is fixed. The glider is moved to compress the spring by 0.180 m and then released from rest.(a) Calculate the speed of the glider at the point where it has moved 0.180 m from its starting point, so that the spring is momentarily exerting no force.m/s(b) Calculate the speed of the glider at the point where it has moved 0.250 m from its starting point.m/s

Answer:

Answer:

a.  1.594 m/s = v

b. 1.274 m/s = v

Explanation:

A) First calculate the potential energy stored in the spring when it is compressed by 0.180 m...

U = 1/2 kx²

Where U is potential energy (in joules), k is the spring constant (in newtons per meter) and x is the compression (in meters)

U = 1/2(13.0 N/m)(0.180 m)² = 0.2106 J

So when the spring passes through the rest position, all of its potential energy will have been converted into kinetic energy.  K = 1/2 mv².

 0.2106 J  = 1/2(0.170 kg kg)v²

0.2106 J  = (0.0850 kg)v²

2.808m²/s² = v²

1.594 m/s = v

(B)  When the spring is 0.250 m from its starting point, it is 0.250 m - 0.180 m = 0.070 m past the equilibrium point.  The spring has begun to remove kinetic energy from the glider and convert it back into potential.  The potential energy stored in the spring is:

U = 1/2 kx² = 1/2(13.0 N/m)(0.070 m)² = 0.031J

Which means the glider now has only 0.2106 J  - 0.031J = 0.1796 J of kinetic energy remaining.

K = 1/2 mv²

0.1796 J = 1/2(0.170 kg)v²

0.138 J = (0.0850 kg)v²

1.623 m²/s² = v²

1.274 m/s = v

What would happen if the amount of light reaching the Earth from the sun were cut in half? Predict what the climate and life wou
kicyunya [14]
A lot would happen depends on which perspective you look at it from. Less incoming solar radiation means that there is a greater possibility of the surface temperature of earth reducing. there would be a cooling effect. And it could be major cooling in certain part of the world depending on milankovitch cycles. We know that the amount of light or solar radiation that reaches the earth is unequal in different parts of the world because of the obliquity, eccentricity, and precession of the earth. But, in general you would most likely see a cooling trend around the world and in some parts it would be extreme. In Canada or in the North is general, winters would become even more cooler or colder... winters would become longer perhaps, And summers would 've cooler. on the contrary to what most believe, you would most likely see a decline in precipitation such as snow or rain because this is mostly caused or intensified by warming temperatures. Life would be probably very similar to that of the Pleistocene epoch. how would humans respond to this change... Well most likely they would try to use their tech to control weather because they already do to a smaller proportion.

hope that helps a bit! :)

It requires 350 joules to raise a certain amount of a substance from 10.0°C to 30.0°C. The specific heat of the substance is 1.2
Akimi4 [234]
I'll assume you are looking for the mass of the object, since that is the missing piece of the puzzle.

The important equation for heat and energy is

Energy = mass × specific heat × change in temperature

Things we know:
Energy needed is 350 J.
Specific heat = 1.2 J/g°C
Temp. change = (30-20)°

Now we just need to plug those in and rearrange the formula to find the mass!

350 = mass × 1.2 × 10

A capacitor with initial charge q0 is discharged through a resistor. What multiple of the time constant τ gives the time the cap
fiasKO [112]

Answer: a) 0.13*τ ; b) 2.08*τ

Explanation: In order to explain the discharg of a capacitor through a resistor, we have to consider the following:

Q(t)=Qo* exp(-t/τ) for a lose of 1/8-th of its charge

in this case, Q(t)=7/8*Qo=7/8*exp(-t/τ)

ln(7/8)*τ=-t

then, t= -ln(7/8)*τ =0.13

For a lose of 7/8 th  of its charge , we have

Q(t)=1/7*Qo*exp(-t/τ)

t=-ln(1/8)*τ=2.08
