A mass of 4.8 kg is dropped from a height of 4.84 meters above a vertical spring anchored at its lower end to the floor. If the

spring has a height of 82 cm and a constant of 24 N/cm, how far, to the nearest tenth of a cm, is the spring compressed?

Answer:

45.6 cm

Explanation:

Let x (m) be the length that the spring is compressed. We know that when we drop the mass from 4.84 m above and compress the springi, ts gravitational energy shall be converted to spring potential energy due to the law of energy conservation

E_g = E_p

mgh = 0.5kx^2

where h = 4.84 + x is the distance from the dropping point the the compressed point, and k = 24N/cm = 2400N/m is the spring constant, g = 9.81 m/s2 is the gravitational acceleration constant. And m = 4.8 kg is the object mass.

4.8*9.81(4.84 + x) = 0.5 * 2400 * x^2

47.088x + 227.906 = 1200x^2

1200x^2 - 47.088x - 227.906 = 0

x = 0.456m or 45.6 cm

The electron structures of atoms are not involved in the emission of:

The correct one is gamma rays. Lets go over them one by one.

Gamma rays are rays that arise from gamma decay, a type of radioactive decay. Often, after another decay, the nucleus is still unstable and it gives off energy in the form of gamma rays to stabilize itself. Hence, gamma rays have nothing to do with the electron structure, only with the nucleus of the atom.

X-rays are the product of accelerating electrons, hence only specific atoms can emit a specific energy of X-rays; similarly for the photoelectric phenomenon, the energy which is needed for photoelectrons to be created depends on the electron structure of the atom (in both cases, it is important to see how strong the bond between electron and atom is).
Finally, spectral lines differ depending on the electron structure of the atoms since electrons with different energies absorb different frequencies of light.

emmasim [6.3K]
<span>So we need to put in the correct words to fill in the blanks. The FIRST law of thermodynamics states that energy can't be created or destroyed. It is a formulation of the law of conservation of energy modified for thermodynemical systems. Two natural sources of energy on Earth are the solar and wind. Also geothermal energy and hydropower are natural sources of energy. </span>

A proton having an initial velvocity of 20.0i Mm/s enters a uniform magnetic field of magnitude 0.300 T with a direction perpend
nikitadnepr [17]

The radius of curvature of the proton's path while in the field is 66.67  × 10^{-2}.

b) Let R = radius curvature of protons path. Then,

relation b/w B, R, and v is: -

B = mv/eR\\R=mv/eB

R=\frac{1.6*10^{-27} * 20*10^{6}}{1.6*10^{-19}*0.3 }

R =66.67× 10^{-2}

Hence, the radius of curvature of the proton's path while in the field is 66.67 × 10^{-2}.

<h3>What do you mean by Magnetic field?</h3>

The magnetic influence on moving electric charges, electric currents and magnetic materials is described by a magnetic field, which is a vector field. A force perpendicular to the charge's own velocity and the magnetic field acts on it when the charge is travelling through a magnetic field.  The magnetic field of a permanent magnet pulls on ferromagnetic substances like iron and attracts or repels other magnets. A magnetic field that varies with location will also exert a force on a variety of non-magnetic materials by changing the velocity of those particles' outer electrons. Electric currents, like those utilized in electromagnets, and electric fields that change in time produce magnetic fields that surround magnetized things.

A ball of radius R and mass m is magically put inside a thin shell of the same mass and radius 2R. The system is at rest on a ho
dlinn [17]

Answer:

x =\frac{-R}{2}

Explanation:

From the question we are told that mass

Thin layer radius = 2R

Generally the expression for ths solution is given as

Xcm =(m*0 =m(-2R))/2m =-mR/(2m)=-R/2

the center of mass will not move at initial state  

Considering the center of mass of both bodies

xcm=\frac{m*x+m*x)}{2m} =x

x =\frac{-R}{2}

Therefore the enclosing layer moves x =\frac{-R}{2}

A skydiver jumps from an airplane that is moving at 50 meters per second at a height of 1,000 meters what describes the skydiver
kkurt [141]

Answer:

11060M  Joules, where M is the mass of the diver in kg

Explanation:

Mass of the skydiver missing, we're assuming it's M.

It's total energy is the sum of the contribution of his kinetic energy (K)- since he's moving at 50 m/s, and it's potential energy (U), since he's subject to earth gravity.

Energy is the sum of the two, so E = K+U= \frac 12 M v^2 + Mgh = M (\frac 12 \cdot 50^2 + 9.81\cdot 1000) = M ( 1250 + 9810) = 11060\cdot M
