A block sliding along a horizontal frictionless surface with speed v collides with a spring and compresses it by 2.0 cm. What wi

ll be the compression if the same block collides with the spring at a speed of 2v?

Answer:

4.0 cm

Explanation:

For the compression of the spring, the kinetic energy of the mass equals the elastic potential energy of the spring.

So, 1/2mv² = 1/2kx² ⇒ x = (√m/k)v

Since m and k are constant since its the same spring x ∝ v

If our speed is now v₁ = 2v, our compression is x₁

x₁ = (√m/k)v₁ = (√m/k)2v = 2(√m/k)v = 2x

x₁ = 2x

Since x = 2.0 cm, our compression for speed = 2v is

x₁ = 2(2.0) = 4.0 cm

Which is moving faster a car traveling 150 km in 3 hours or one traveling 100 km in 2 hours?
ki77a [65]
Neither they’re both moving the same . 150/3 = 50km
100/2 = 50km
therefor they’re traveling at the same rate.

If an astronaut goes on a space walk outside the Space Station, she will quickly float away from the station unless she has a te
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

d. This statement is false. She and the Space Station share the same orbit and will stay together unless they are pushed apart.

Explanation:

In astronomy, orbit is simply a path of an object around another object in a space. That is, orbit is a path of a body that revolves around a gravitating center of mass. Examples of an orbit is are satellite around a planet, orbit around a center of galaxy, planet around the sun, and among others.

On the other hand, space station refers to a spacecraft that can support a group of human for long time in the orbit. Another names for space stations are orbital space station and orbital station.

Therefore, an astronaut goes on a space walk outside the Space Station shares the same orbit with the space station and they will stay together unless they are pushed apart.

What are the 7 electromagnetic waves in order from lowest to highest wavelength?
ozzi

The electromagnetic spectrum is divided into seven different frequency ranges which are from lowest to highest, radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays and gamma rays.

The electromagnetic spectrum includes electromagnetic waves with frequencies between one hertz and above 10²⁵ hertz, or wavelengths between thousands of kilometres and a small portion of the size of an atomic nucleus. The electromagnetic waves found within each of these bands are referred to by a different name. Starting at the low frequency(long wavelength), end of the spectrum, these are radio waves, micro waves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, x-rays and gamma rays. This frequency range is divided into separate bands.
