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>

Why is it important for a muscle to be attached to a fixed origin at one end and a moving insertion at the other? Discuss how th
vlabodo [156]
Muscles function only by contracting. This makes it necessary for one end of the muscle to be fixed and the other mobile.
Take the bicep for example.
Its origin is at the shoulder and its two heads connect to the bones of the forearm, the radius and ulna.
Now, had the muscle not been fixed at one end, and contracted, it would pull both our shoulder and forearm together resulting in an ineffective movement. The desired motion is to lift the forearm (proximal and distal movement) which can only be achieved if the bicep is fixed at the shoulder and allowed to move at the forearm.

A 35.9 g mass is attached to a horizontal spring with a spring constant of 18.4 N/m and released from rest with an amplitude of
lidiya [134]

Answer:

7.74m/s

Explanation:

Mass = 35.9g = 0.0359kg

A = 39.5cm = 0.395m

K = 18.4N/m

At equilibrium position, there's total conservation of energy.

Total energy = kinetic energy + potential energy

Total Energy = K.E + P.E

½KA² = ½mv² + ½kx²

½KA² = ½(mv² + kx²)

KA² = mv² + kx²

Collect like terms

KA² - Kx² = mv²

K(A² - x²) = mv²

V² = k/m (A² - x²)

V = √(K/m (A² - x²) )

note x = ½A

V = √(k/m (A² - (½A)²)

V = √(k/m (A² - A²/4))

Resolve the fraction between A.

V = √(¾. K/m. A² )

V = √(¾ * (18.4/0.0359)*(0.395)²)

V = √(0.75 * 512.53 * 0.156)

V = √(59.966)

V = 7.74m/s

What is true of the moon's orbital and rotational periods?
Eddi Din [679]
The moon's orbital and rotational periods are identical or the same, I<span>ts rate of spin is done in unison with its rate of revolution (the time that is needed to complete one orbit). Thus, the moon rotates exactly once every time it circles the Earth.</span>

Question 6. B) and c)
maks197457 [2]
The formula for both is v(t) = v0 + a*t

b) v(8) = 0 + 6m/s^2 *8s = 48 m/s

now we know the beginning (2) and end speed (14), but not the time:

c) 14 = 2 + 1.5*t => t = (14-2)/1.5 = 8 seconds
