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.

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

0.07°C

Explanation:

<u>solution:</u>

the speed of a sound in water is<u>:</u>

v(T)=1480+4(T-4°C)

<u>at 4°C the travel time is:</u>

t(4◦C) = ( 7600 × 103 m ) / (1480 m/s) = 5202.7 s

<u>5°C, the travel time is:</u>

t(5◦C) = ( 7600 × 103 m ) / (1484 m/s) = 5188.7 s

<u>one degree C corresponds to a ∆t of 14 s so temperature difference is:</u>

ΔT=1 s/14 s=0.07◦C

Two bricks are released at the same time from the same point ten feet above the ground. One of the bricks is falling straight do
natita [175]
Both bricks will hit the ground at the same time.

Falling vertically is always accelerating at 9.8 m/s² because of gravity.
Nothing that's happening horizontally has any effect on that.
The brick that happens to have some horizontal motion will 
probably hit the ground way over there, but that will still be
at the same TIME as this one.

This is a perfect place to remind you of the old unbelievable story,
which I'll bet you heard before:

If you fire a bullet horizontally from a gun, and at the exact same
moment you DROP another bullet out of your hand next to the gun,
the two bullets will hit the ground at the same time !  Even though
they'll be far apart.

Horizontal speed has no effect on vertical behavior.

The molecules will heat up and move faster, some evaporating and turning to gas, the toy boat will heat up if made of conducting materials but otherwise unchanged. The water will also start to boil.

What happens to the particles of the liquid inside a thermometer when the thermometer is heated?
aev [14]
The particles of the liquid inside a thermometer speed up and spread apart when the thermometer is heated. In short, the particles expand from one another when they're heated, and become condensed and compact when chilled.
