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>

Jose is loading his luggage into his car so that he can go to visit his grandmother. He lifts his suitcase up a 10 m staircase i
maxonik [38]

Answer:

The work done on the suitcase is, W = 600 J

Explanation:

Given,

The average force exerted by Jose on his suitcase,  F = 60 N

Jose carried the suitcase to a distance, S = 10 m

The work done on the suitcase is given by the relation

                           <em>W = F x S</em>

Substituting the given values in the above equation,

                            W = 60 N x 10 m

                                 = 600 J

Hence, the work done on the suitcase is, W = 600 J

A 1.2 kg block of wood hangs motionless from strings. A 50 g bullet, traveling horizontally, strikes the block and becomes embed
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

A. <u>200m/s</u>

Explanation:

Using the law of conservation of momentum expressed as;

m1u1 + m2u2 = (m1+m2)v

m1 and m2 are the masses of the object

u1 and u2 are the respective velocities

v is the common velocity

Given

m1 = 1.2kg

u1 = 0m/s (block is a stationary object)

m2 = 50g= 0.05kg

u2 = ?

v = 8.0m/s

Substitute the values into the formula and get u2 (speed of the bullet before hitting the block)

1.2(0)+0.05u2 = (1.2 + 0.05)(8)

0.05u2 = 1.25(8)

0.05u2 = 10

u2 = 10/0.05

u2 = 200m/s

Hence the speed of the bullet before it hit the block is <u>200m/s</u>

1. What is the kinetic energy of a 1.75 kg ball travelling at a speed of 54 m/s?
Over [174]

Answer:

We conclude that the kinetic energy of a 1.75 kg ball traveling at a speed of 54 m/s is 2551.5 J.

Explanation:

Given

  • Mass m = 1.75 kg
  • Velocity v = 54 m/s

To determine

Kinetic Energy (K.E) = ?

We know that a body can possess energy due to its movement — Kinetic Energy.

Kinetic Energy (K.E) can be determined using the formula

K.E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

  • m is the mass (kg)
  • v is the velocity (m/s)
  • K.E is the Kinetic Energy (J)

now substituting m = 1.75, and v = 54 in the formula

K.E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

K.E=\frac{1}{2}\left(1.75\right)\left(54\right)^2

K.E=1458\times 1.75

K.E=2551.5 J

Therefore, the kinetic energy of a 1.75 kg ball traveling at a speed of 54 m/s is 2551.5 J.

Why do astronomers think that the milky way is a spiral galaxy?
Nikolay [14]

1) When you look toward the Galactic Center with your eye, you see a long, thin strip. This suggests a disk seen edge-on, rather than a ellipsoid or another shape. We can also detect the bulge at the center. Since we see spiral galaxies which are disks with central bulges, this is a bit of a top.
