A 57 g ice cube can slide without friction up and down a 33 ∘ slope. The ice cube is pressed against a spring at the bottom of t

he slope, compressing the spring 12 cm . The spring constant is 20 N/m . When the ice cube is released, what distance will it travel up the slope before reversing direction?

The springs stored energy is transferred to the cube as kinetic energy and then by the slop the KE is converted to height energy. 

<span>0.5 . k . x^2 = 0.5 . m . v^2 = m . g . ∆h </span>

<span>0.5 . 50 . (0.1^2) = 0.05 . 9.8 . ∆h </span>

<span>∆h = 0.51 m = 51 cm </span>

<span>This is the height gained </span>
<span>Distance along the slope = ∆h / sin 60 = 0.589 = 59 cm </span>

<span>In the second case, the stored spring energy is converted into height energy AND frictional heat energy. </span>

<span>The height energy is m . g . d sin 60 where d is the distance the cube moves along the slope. </span>

<span>The Frictional energy converted is F . d </span>

<span>F ( the frictional force ) = µ . N </span>

<span>N ( the reaction to the component of the gravity force perpendicular to the surface of the slope ) = m . g . cos60 </span>

<span>Total energy converted </span>

<span>0.5 . k . x^2 = (m . g . dsin60) + (µ . m . g . cos60 . d ) </span>

<span>Solve for d </span>

<span>d = 0.528 = 53 cm</span>

Which event in a solar cell uses the photoelectric effect?
musickatia [10]

Answer:

Light shone on metal expulses electrons from its surface. This phenomenon is the photoelectric effect, and the electrons are called photoelectrons. Experiments indicate that by increasing light frequency, the kinetic energy of the photoelectrons increases, and by intensifying the light, the current increases

A circular track has a radius of 50m.What is the displacement?
stepladder [879]

The displacement of a moving object is the straight-line distance between the place it starts from and the place where it stops.

The displacement of anything moving along a circular track depends on how  far around it goes before it stops.  The greatest displacement it can possibly have is the diameter of the track ... 100m on this particular one ... because that's as far apart as two places on a circle can ever be.

The most interesting case is when the object goes around the circle exactly once.  Then it stops at the same place it started from, the distance between the starting point and ending point is zero, and after all that motion, the displacement is zero.
