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

A chemical equation lists NaHCO3(s) as a reactant. What does (s) indicate?
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

The (s) indicates that the state of matter for NaHCO3 is solid.

Explanation:

When a chemical reaction is written, the state of matter for each components of the reactants and products are mentioned in brackets along with their names or formulas.

For example, NaHCO3 has (s) mentioned in the brackets. The s shows that the state of matter for NaHCO3. (l) represents liquid format. (g) represents that the state of matter is gas.

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

<em>A.The rabbits in the new habitat will have lower genetic variation than the rabbits in the original habitat. </em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

If two animals of opposite sex are isolated from a larger group of animal, and made to reproduce. They will produce offspring with similar genetic makeup. If this offspring still remain isolated, and continue to interbreed within themselves for a number of consecutive generations, their offspring will all be very closely related genetically. Situations like this just as with the two rabbits in the question leads to a lower genetic variation within the offspring of the two animals.

Animals need to reproduce within a larger group in order to increase genetic variation. Increasing genetic variation reduces the risk of been sucked into a gene pool. A lower genetic variation reduces the fitness of the animals involved. It is only an advantage in cases in which the the original pair are resistant to a deadly disease. In this case all the offspring also develop this immunity. Mostly the effects of a lower genetic variation leaves negative impacts, and animals try to avoid this by preferring to interbreed with unrelated partner
