A boat sails along the shore. To an observer, the boat appears to move at a speed of 22 m/s, and a man on the boat walking forwa
seropon [69]
The boat is moving at 22 m/s while the man is moving at 23.1 m/s.

That means the man, relative to the boat, is moving at 23.1-22 = 1.1 m/s.

v =d/t, so t = d/v --> t = 3/1.1 = 2.7 s

What type of fault creates huge mountains
vladimir1956 [14]

Together, normal and reverse faults are called dip-slip faults, because the movement on them occurs along the dip direction -- either down or up, respectively. Reverse faults create some of the world's highest mountain chains, including the Himalaya Mountains and the Rocky Mountains .

A 1.05 kg block slides with a speed of 0.865 m/s on a frictionless horizontal surface until it encounters a spring with a force
djyliett [7]

Answer:

a) U = 0 J    

k = 0.393 J

E = 0.393 J

b) U = 0.0229J

k = 0.370 J

E = 0.393 J

c) U = 0.0914 J

k = 0.302 J

E = 0.393 J

d) U = 0.206 J

k = 0.187 J

E = 0.393 J

e) U = 0.366 J

k = 0.027 J

E = 0.393 J

Explanation:

Hi there!

The equations of kinetic energy and elastic potential energy are as follows:

k = 1/2 · m · v²

U = 1/2 · ks · x²

Where:

m = mass of the block.

v = velocity.

ks = spring constant.

x = displacement of the string.

a) When the spring is not compressed, the spring potential energy will be zero:

U = 1/2 · ks · x²

U = 1/2 · 457 N/m · (0 cm)²

U = 0 J

The kinetic energy of the block will be:

k = 1/2 · m · v²

k = 1/2 · 1.05 kg · (0.865 m/s)²

k = 0.393 J

The mechanical energy will be:

E = k + U = 0.393 J + 0 J = 0.393 J

This energy will be conserved, i.e., it will remain constant because there is no work done by friction nor by any other dissipative force (like air resistance). This means that the kinetic energy will be converted only into spring potential energy (there is no thermal energy due to friction, for example).

b) The spring potential energy will be:

U = 1/2 · 457 N/m · (0.01 m)²

U = 0.0229 J

Since the mechanical energy has to remain constant, we can use the equation of mechanical energy to obtain the kinetic energy:

E = k + U

0.393 J = k + 0.0229 J

0.393 J - 0.0229 J = k

k = 0.370 J

c) The procedure is now the same. Let´s calculate the spring potential energy with x = 0.02 m.

U = 1/2 · 457 N/m · (0.02 m)²

U = 0.0914 J

Using the equation of mechanical energy:

E = k + U

0.393 J = k + 0.0914 J

k = 0.393 J - 0.0914 J = 0.302 J

d) U = 1/2 · 457 N/m · (0.03 m)²

U = 0.206 J

E = 0.393 J

k = E - U = 0.393 J - 0.206 J

k = 0.187 J

e) U = 1/2 · 457 N/m · (0.04 m)²

U = 0.366 J

E = 0.393 J

k = E - U = 0.393 J - 0.366 J = 0.027 J.

A 10kg sphere hits a stationary 8kg sphere. After the collision the 8kg sphere moves off in the positive direction at 4m/s. If t
Bumek [7]

M = mass of the first sphere = 10 kg

m = mass of the second sphere = 8 kg

V = initial velocity of the first sphere before collision = 10 m/s

v = initial velocity of the second sphere before collision = 0 m/s

V' = final velocity of the first sphere after collision = ?

v' = final velocity of the second sphere after collision = 4 m/s

using conservation of momentum

M V + m v = M V' + m v'

(10) (10) + (8) (0) = (10) V' + (8) (4)

100 = (10) V' + 32

(10) V' = 68

V' = 6.8 m/s
