Mass=142g
K.E=128 J
Speed or Velocity=?
K.E=1/2*m*v^2
128=1/2*142*v^2
128=72*v^2
v^2=128/72
v^2=1.777
by taking square rt 
v= 1.333ms-1
so the speed will be 1.333 ms-1

A spring on a horizontal surface can be stretched and held 0.5 m from its equilibrium position with a force of 60 N. a. How much
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

a)1815Joules b) 185Joules

Explanation:

Hooke's law states that the extension of a material is directly proportional to the applied force provided that the elastic limit is not exceeded. Mathematically;

F = ke where;

F is the applied force

k is the elastic constant

e is the extension of the material

From the formula, k = F/e

F1/e1 = F2/e2

If a force of 60N causes an extension of 0.5m of the string from its equilibrium position, the elastic constant of the spring will be ;

k = 60/0.5

k = 120N/m

a) To get the work done in stretching the spring 5.5m from its position,

Work done by the spring = 1/2ke²

Given k = 120N/m, e = 5.5m

Work done = 1/2×120×5.5²

Work done = 60× 5.5²

Work done = 1815Joules

b) work done in compressing the spring 1.5m from its equilibrium position will be gotten using the same formula;

Work done = 1/2ke²

Work done =1/2× 120×1.5²

Works done = 60×1.5²

Work done = 135Joules

A flute player hears four beats per second when she compares her note to a 523 HzHz tuning fork (the note C). She can match the
laiz [17]

Answer:

527 Hz

Solution:

As per the question:

Beat frequency of the player, \Delta f = 4\ beats/s

Frequency of the tuning fork, f = 523 Hz

Now,

The initial frequency can be calculated as:

\Delta f = f - f_{i}

f_{i} = f \pm \Delta f

when

f_{i} = f + \Delta f = 523 + 4 = 527 Hz

when

f_{i} = f - \Delta f = 523 - 4 = 519 Hz

But we know that as the length of the flute increases the frequency decreases

Hence, the initial frequency must be 527 Hz

Water from a fire hose is directed horizontally against at a rate of 50.0 kg/s and a speed of 42.0 m/s.
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

Force, |F| = 2100 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Water from a fire hose is directed horizontally against at a rate of 50.0 kg/s, \dfrac{m}{t}=50\ kg/s

Initial speed, v = 42 m/s

The momentum is reduced to zero, final speed, v = 0

The relation between the force and the momentum is given by :

F=\dfrac{p}{t}

F=\dfrac{mv}{t}

F=50\ kg/s\times 42\ m/s

|F| = 2100 N

So, the magnitude of the force exerted on the wall is 2100 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

If a satellite weighs 321 lb. on the earth's surface (R = 4,000 miles), how much does it weigh 12,000 miles above the surface? (
Sever21 [200]

The gravitational force between the Earth and the satellite (its "weight") is inversely proportional to the distance between the centers of both objects.

On the surface, their centers are separated by 1 Earth radius.

12,000 miles above the surface, they're separated by 4 Earth radiii.

(4/1) = 4

So after the move, the satellite's weight is (1/4²) = 1/16 of its surface weight.

(321 lb) / (16) = (20 and a hair) lb

The correct choice from the given list is " <em>>20 lb "</em> .
