At a waterpark, sleds with riders are sent along a slippery, horizontal surface by the release of a large, compressed spring. Th

e spring with a force constant 37.0 N/cm and negligible mass rests on the frictionless horizontal surface. One end is in contact with a stationary wall. A sled and rider with total mass 66.0 kg are pushed against the other end, compressing the spring 0.370 m. The sled is then released with zero initial velocity.
What is the sled's speed when the spring is still compressed 0.180 m?

Answer:

2.2 m/s

Explanation:

<u>solution:</u>

To calculate change in stored energy at desired extension

ΔU = 1/2*k*(δx)^2

     = 1/2*3700*(0.37^2-0.180^2)

     = 201 N.m

use work energy theorem

ΔU = ΔK = 1/2*m*v^2 = 201

              = 2.2 m/s

<u>note:</u>

calculation maybe wrong but method is correct.

3. A model rocket is launched straight upward at 58.8 m/s.
SIZIF [17.4K]

Let us assume that rocket only runs in initial energy and not using its own to flying.

Also , let upward direction is +ve and downward direction is -ve .

Initial velocity , u = 58.8 m/s .

Acceleration due to gravity , g=-9.8\ m/s^2 .

Final velocity , v - = 0 m/s .

We know , by equation of motion .

v^2-u^2=2gh\\\\2gh_{max}=0^2-58.8^2\\\\h_{max}=\dfrac{0^2-58.8^2}{-2\times 9.8}\\\\h_{max}= 176.4\ m

Hence, this is the required solution .

The world’s largest wind turbine has blades that are 80 m long and makes 1 revolution every 5.7 seconds. What is the velocity fo
klemol [59]

Answer:

The free end of the blade has a tangential velocity of about 88.19 m/s

Explanation:

The angular velocity of the blades is  2 \pi /5.7\,\,rad/sec

since the blades are 80 m long, then the tangential velocity of the free end of the blade is:

v_{tan} \approx 88.19\,\,m/s

lina2011 [118]

Answer:

.00135 j

Explanation:

K.E. = 1/2   m  v^2

       = 1/2 * .03 * .3^2 = .00135 j

Why is no image formed when an object is at the focal point of a converging lens?
Temka [501]

Answer:

the refracted rays neither converge nor diverge. After refracting, the light rays are traveling parallel to each other and cannot produce an image.

How can we produce energy by turning a turbine?​
maw [93]
Wind turbines work on a simple principle: instead of using electricity to make wind—like a fan—wind turbines use wind to make electricity. Wind turns the propeller-like blades of a turbine around a rotor, which spins a generator, which creates electricity.
