A 1.25 kg block is attached to a spring with spring constant 17.0 N/m . While the block is sitting at rest, a student hits it wi
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

The amplitude of the subsequent oscillations is 13.3 cm

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the block, m = 1.25 kg

spring constant, k = 17 N/m

speed of the block, v = 49 cm/s = 0.49 m/s

To determine the amplitude of the oscillation.

Apply the principle of conservation of energy;

maximum kinetic energy of the stone when hit = maximum potential energy of spring when displaced

K.E_{max} = U_{max}\\\\\frac{1}{2} mv^2 = \frac{1}{2} kA^2\\\\where;\\\\A \ is \ the \ maximum \ displacement = amplitude \\\\mv^2 = kA^2\\\\A^2 = \frac{mv^2}{k} \\\\A = \sqrt{\frac{mv^2}{k}} \\\\A =  \sqrt{\frac{1.25\  \times \ 0.49^2}{17}} \\\\A = 0.133 \ m\\\\A = 13.3 \ cm

Therefore, the amplitude of the subsequent oscillations is 13.3 cm

Suppose that on a routine trip around the galaxy, your dog puts his head out of the spacecraft window (as dogs often do). The so
neonofarm [45]

Answer: Yes, the dog's head will burn

Explanation:Solar winds are strongly destructive magnetically charged high energy winds. Satellite communication on earth and the occasional geomagnetic storm near the poles are the major disruptive effects caused by solar winds on earth.

Since solar winds are streams of charged particles released from the upperparts of the Sun, called the "corona". This plasma mainly consists of electrons, protons and alpha particles with kinetic energy between 0.5 and 10 keV. Instilled within the solar-wind plasma is the interplanetary magnetic field.

If the dog holds it's breath the heat wave would burn it's head but not outrightly because the breath has ceased for some seconds and it can't absorb the much heat of the solar wind into it's nostrils. The effect of holding its breath would still be disastrous but not as the first case.

A hot air balloon is traveling vertically upward at a constant speed of 4.5 m/s. When it is 28 m above the ground, a package is
ella [17]

Answer:

1.97 seconds

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 21=4.5t+\frac{1}{2}\times -9.8\times t^2\\\Rightarrow 21=-4.5t-4.9t^2\\\Rightarrow 4.9t^2+4.5t-28=0\\\Rightarrow 49t^2+45t-280=0

Solving the above equation we get

t=\frac{-45+\sqrt{45^2-4\cdot \:49\left(-280\right)}}{2\cdot \:49}, \frac{-45-\sqrt{45^2-4\cdot \:49\left(-280\right)}}{2\cdot \:49}\\\Rightarrow t=1.97, -2.89

So, the time the package was in the air is 1.97 seconds

What value is needed to create a motion diagram? a. position c. time interval b. velocity d. both a and c
Fiesta28 [93]
For classical kinematics, you usually graph position versus time, meaning D. This would be a graph where time is on the x-axis and position (can also be treated as displacement if you consider the net distance) is on the y axis.
