Answer:
v = 2.94 m/s
Explanation:
When the spring is compressed, its potential energy is equal to (1/2)kx^2, where k is the spring constant and x is the distance compressed. At this point there is no kinetic energy due to there being no movement, meaning the net energy in the system is (1/2)kx^2.
Once the spring leaves the system, it will be moving at a constant velocity v, if friction is ignored. At this time, its kinetic energy will be (1/2)mv^2. It won't have any spring potential energy, making the net energy (1/2)mv^2.
Because of the conservation of energy, these two values can be set equal to each other, since energy will not be gained or lost while the spring is decompressing. That means
(1/2)kx^2 = (1/2)mv^2
kx^2 = mv^2
v^2 = (kx^2)/m
v = sqrt((kx^2)/m)
v = x * sqrt(k/m)
v = 0.122 * sqrt(125/0.215) <--- units converted to m and kg
v = 2.94 m/s
Answer:
the Answer Would be D
Explanation:
From what I know light travels 300,000 km/second , travels at fast speeds and travels in a straight line
"60 kg" is not a weight. It's a mass, and it's always the same
no matter where the object goes.
The weight of the object is
(mass) x (gravity in the place where the object is) .
On the surface of the Earth,
Weight = (60 kg) x (9.8 m/s²)
= 588 Newtons.
Now, the force of gravity varies as the inverse of the square of the distance from the center of the Earth.
On the surface, the distance from the center of the Earth is 1R.
So if you move out to 5R from the center, the gravity out there is
(1R/5R)² = (1/5)² = 1/25 = 0.04 of its value on the surface.
The object's weight would also be 0.04 of its weight on the surface.
(0.04) x (588 Newtons) = 23.52 Newtons.
Again, the object's mass is still 60 kg out there.
___________________________________________
If you have a textbook, or handout material, or a lesson DVD,
or a teacher, or an on-line unit, that says the object "weighs"
60 kilograms, then you should be raising a holy stink.
You are being planted with sloppy, inaccurate, misleading
information, and it's going to be YOUR problem to UN-learn it later.
They owe you better material.
Answer:
25N
Explanation:
Assuming the lab is on earth:
w = mg = 2.5 (9.81) = 25N
