A block of mass 0.254 kg is placed on top of a light, vertical spring of force constant 5 100 N/m and pushed downward so that th

e spring is compressed by 0.093 m. After the block is released from rest, it travels upward and then leaves the spring. To what maximum height above the point of release does it rise? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

Answer:

8.86 m

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of energy, the elastic potential energy initially stored in the spring will be converted into gravitational potential energy of the block when it is at its maximum height:

\frac{1}{2}kx^2 = mgh

where

k = 5100 N/m is the spring constant

x = 0.093 m is the spring compression

m = 0.254 kg is the mass of the block

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the maximum height of the block

Solving the equation for h, we find

h=\frac{kx^2}{2mg}=\frac{(5100 N/m)(0.093 m)^2}{2(0.254 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)}=8.86 m

A motor running at 2600 rev/min is suddenly switched off and decelerates uniformly to rest after 10 s. Find the angular decelera
Mama L [17]
Angular acceleration = (change in angular speed) / (time for the change)

change in angular speed = (zero - 2,600 RPM)  =  -2,600 RPM

time for the change = 10 sec

Angular acceleration = -2600 RPM / 10 sec = -260 rev / min-sec

(-260 rev/min-sec) x (1 min / 60 sec) = <em>-(4 1/3)  rev / sec²</em>

Since the acceleration is negative, the motor is slowing down.
You might call that a 'deceleration' of (4 1/3) rev/sec² .

The average speed is  1/2(2,600 + 0) = 1,300 rev/min = (21 2/3) rev/sec.

Number of revs = (average speed) x (time) = (21 2/3) x (10sec) = <em>(216 2/3) revs</em>

Current flows through a resistor; (a) with no direction since it is not a vector (b) from any potential to any different potenti
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

c)From high potential to low potential.

Explanation:

Given that

current is flowing through resister.

As we know that those quantity have direction as well as magnitude then these are called vector quantity and those quantity have only magnitude then they called scalar quantity.

As we know that current have direction as well as magnitude so current is a vector quantity.

Current flows from high potential to low potential.

What are the overall problems with hydrogen energy
OlgaM077 [116]

Expensive: Hydrogen gas actually takes a considerable measure of work to free if from different components. If it were basic and simple to separate, everybody would be utilizing it. It’s now being utilized to power some hybrid vehicles, yet right now it is not a reasonable type of fuel for everybody, mainly because it’s pricey and it’s difficult to get it from place to place. Until research and innovation goes far enough to make this a simpler and cheaper task, hydrogen will likely be something that only the rich can afford.Not Enough Hydrogen Fuel Stations: As you likely know, it’s very difficult to change “the way things are.” As difficult as hydrogen is to create and transport, it gets to be considerably pricier when you consider attempting to utilize it to supplant fuel. There is no current framework set up to hydrogen as the primary fuel for the normal driver. Service stations and vehicles themselves would all must be changed in order to use hydrogen, which can take a lot of time and money to do. It doesn’t seem cost efficient to change from the norm.Safety Concerns: Hydrogen in itself has a lot of power behind it. Though it is less dangerous than gasoline, it’s profoundly flammable and constantly in the news for the potential dangers connected with it. Unlike gas, hydrogen has no smell. Sensors must be used to detect a leak.
