I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

9 meters

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of Avi is, $m=40\ kg$

Spring constant is, $k=176,400\ N/m$

Compression in the spring is, $x=20\ cm=0.20\ m$

Let the maximum height reached be 'h' m.

Now, as the spring is compressed, there is elastic potential energy stored in the spring. This elastic potential energy is transferred to Avi in the form of gravitational potential energy.

So, by law of conservation of energy, decrease in elastic potential energy is equal to increase in gravitational potential energy.

Decrease in elastic potential energy is given as:

$EPE=\frac{1}{2}kx^2\\EPE=\frac{1}{2}\times 176400\times (0.20)^2\\EPE=88200\times 0.04=3528\ J$

Now, increase in gravitational potential energy is given as:

$GPE=mgh=40\times 9.8\times h=392h$

Now, increase in gravitational potential energy is equal decrease in elastic potential energy. Therefore,

$392h=3528\\\\h=\frac{3528}{392}\\\\h=9\ m$

Therefore, Avi will reach a maximum height of 9 meters.

Suppose you are holding a basketball while standing still on a skateboard. You and the skateboard have a mass of 50kg. You throw

Nutka1998 [239]

Your acceleration before you throw the ball is zero. After the throw, you use the equation

<span>F = m * a </span>

<span>To solve for acceleration </span>

<span>a = F/m </span>

<span>a = (10 N) / (50 kg) </span>

<span>a = 0.2 m/s^2</span>

__________ explains what happens in an event and __________ applies knowledge to create something or change an existing process.

Yuliya22 [10]

An hypothesis is a sort of "untested idea" as to what might be happening. I guess it becomes a theory if experiments back it up, and if the combination leads to other things.So, I'd go for The top pair of answers.

What is weightlessness ? Mention its condition

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

Weightlessness, condition experienced while in free-fall, in which the effect of gravity is canceled by the inertial (e.g., centrifugal) force resulting from orbital flight. The term zero gravity is often used to describe such a condition.
