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

Answer:

Quantum mechanics was one of the two great revolutions in modern physics. The first, or Einstein's relativity, was in fact the pinnacle of classical physics. But quantum mechanics and related theories completely changed the world of science and philosophy, and it was the end of classical physics.

Like Einstein relativity, we all use quantum mechanics on a daily basis, but its mathematical principles are very complex and beyond the reach of ordinary people without a degree in physics or mathematics.

In this post, I have tried to make this theory more accessible to all interested loved ones by stating the quantum theory and its consequences for the public.

erastovalidia [21]

The part B of the question is missing and it is;

b) What is the height between the two window ledges?

Answer:

A) 20.76 m/s

B) 161.52 m

Explanation:

A) To calculate the initial speed we use the formula from Newton's first law of motion:

v = u + at

Making u the subject gives;

u = v - at

Where;

v is the final velocity which is the speed when Jill sees the pot = 60 m/s

u is the initial velocity which is the speed when Jack sees the pot go by

t is the time between the two observed events = 4 s

a in this question is acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s².

Plugging in the relevant values into the initial velocity equation gives;

u = 60 - (9.81 × 4)

u = 20.76 m/s

B) To get the height difference, we will use the formula;

(y1 - y0) = ut + ½at²

Thus, plugging in the relevant values, we have;

y1 - y0 = (20.76 × 4) + (½ × 9.81 × 4²)

(y1 - y0) = 161.52 m
