A horizontal spring with spring constant 85 n/m extends outward from a wall just above floor level. a 9.5 kg box sliding across

a frictionless floor hits the end of the spring and compresses it 6.5 cm before the spring expands and shoots the box back out. how fast was the box going when it hit the spring?

<span>Spring constant: 85N/m, 9.5kg box, compresses spring 0.035m. 

85N/m* 0.035m = 2.975N </span>

<span>
Use spring equation 1/2*k*(change in distance) ^ 2 </span>

<span>
1/2*85N/m*(0.035m) ^ 2=0.052063J </span>

<span>
Now use kinetic equation:</span>

<span>1/2*m*v^2 
0.052063J=0.5*9.5kg*v^2 
v = 0.1047 m/s</span>

Two containers (A and B) are in thermal contact with an environment at temperature T = 280 K. The two containers are connected b
zmey [24]

Answer:

The maximum amount of work is  W = 1563.289 \ J

Explanation:

From  the question we are told that

   The temperature of the environment is  T = 280\ K

    The volume of container A is  V_A = 2 m^3

    Initially the number of moles  is  n = 1.2 \ moles

     The volume of container B is V_B = 3.5 \ m^3

     

At equilibrium of the gas the maximum work that can be done on the turbine is mathematically represented as

             W =  P_A V_A  ln[ \frac{V_B}{V_A} ]

Now from the Ideal gas law

          P_A V_A =  nRT

So substituting for P_A V_A in the equation above

          W =  nRT ln [\frac{V_B}{V_A} ]

Where R is the gas constant with a values of  R =  8.314 \  J/mol

Substituting values we have that

            W = 1.2 * (8.314) * (280) * ln [\frac{3.5}{2} ]

          W = 1563.289 \ J

A train pulls away from a station with a constant acceleration of 0.42 m/s2. A passenger arrives at a point next to the track 6.
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

2.69 m/s

Explanation:

Hi!

First lets find the position of the train as a function of time as seen by the passenger when he arrives to the train station. For this state, the train is at a position x0 given by:

x0 = (1/2)(0.42m/s^2)*(6.4s)^2 = 8.6016 m

So, the position as a function of time is:

xT(t)=(1/2)(0.42m/s^2)t^2 + x0 = (1/2)(0.42m/s^2)t^2 + 8.6016 m

Now, if the passanger is moving at a constant velocity of V, his position as a fucntion of time is given by:

xP(t)=V*t

In order for the passenger to catch the train

xP(t)=xT(t)

(1/2)(0.42m/s^2)t^2 + 8.6016 m = V*t

To solve this equation for t we make use of the quadratic formula, which has real solutions whenever its determinat is grater than zero:

0≤ b^2-4*a*c = V^2 - 4 * ((1/2)(0.42m/s^2)) * 8.6016 m =V^2 - 7.22534(m/s)^2

This equation give us the minimum velocity the passenger must have in order to catch the train:

V^2 - 7.22534(m/s)^2 = 0

V^2 = 7.22534(m/s)^2

V = 2.6879 m/s
