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

tester [92]

Explanation:

Here,

Velocity of A=60km/hr

Velocity of B=80km/hr

Now,

Relative velocity of B with respect to A in the same direction=Velocity of B - Velocity of A

=80km/hr-60km/hr

=20km/hr

Your answer is C. Unbalanced

unbalanced forces change the direction and speed of objects, therefore it would change the constant speed of an object in motion.

<h2>Movement of Continents</h2>

Explanation:

  • Alfred Wegener was a German astronomer who proposed the "continental drift" hypothesis in 1910.
  • Alfred Wegener was not able to explain the movements of the continent in how and in which way they are moved.
  • He failed in an attempt to explain with the use of tides made the theory undefinable fully.
  • Also, the major problem with Wegener's theory of Continental Drift was that there was no proper explanation of a mechanism.
