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

I):final velocity=initial velocity+acceleration due to gravity*time of travel

Therefore,
v=0+9.8*3.1
=30.38 m/s

If by floor you meant water bed then i think there isn't enough info in the question.

A long, straight wire of radius R carries a steady current I that is uniformly distributed through the cross section of the wire

vitfil [10]

Answer:

a

When $r \ge R$

$B = \frac{ \mu_o * I}{ 2 \pi r }$

b

When $r< R$

$B = [\frac{\mu_o * I }{ 2 \pi R^2} ]* r$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The radius is R

The current is I

The distance from the center

Ampere's law is mathematically represented as

$B[2 \pi r] = \mu_o * \frac{I r^2 }{R^2 }$

$B = \frac{ \mu_o}{2 \pi } * \frac{r}{R^2}$

When $r \ge R$

=> $B = \frac{ \mu_o * I}{ 2 \pi r }$

But when $r< R$

$B = [\frac{\mu_o * I }{ 2 \pi R^2} ]* r$

Basalt is pushed into the crust by subduction. It will most likely become _____.

suter [353]

Subduction is, "<span>the sideways and downward movement of the edge of a plate of the earth's crust into the mantle beneath another plate." The basalt would most likely be swallowed up into the ground.
Hope this is what you were looking for! :)

An object has the acceleration graph shown in (Figure 1). Its velocity at t=0s is vx=2.0m/s. Draw the object's velocity graph fo

timama [110]

Answer:

Explanation:

We may notice that change in velocity can be obtained by calculating areas between acceleration lines and horizontal axis ("Time"). Mathematically, we know that:

$v_{b}-v_{a} = \int\limits^{t_{b}}_{t_{a}} {a(t)} \, dt$

$v_{b} = v_{a}+ \int\limits^{t_{b}}_{t_{a}} {a(t)} \, dt$

Where:

$v_{a}$ , $v_{b}$ - Initial and final velocities, measured in meters per second.

$t_{a}$ , $t_{b}$ - Initial and final times, measured in seconds.

$a(t)$ - Acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

Acceleration is the slope of velocity, as we know that each line is an horizontal one, then, velocity curves are lines with slopes different of zero. There are three region where velocities should be found:

Region I (t = 0 s to t = 4 s)

$v_{4} = 2\,\frac{m}{s} +\int\limits^{4\,s}_{0\,s} {\left(-2\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)} \, dt$

$v_{4} = 2\,\frac{m}{s}+\left(-2\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right) \cdot (4\,s-0\,s)$

$v_{4} = -6\,\frac{m}{s}$

Region II (t = 4 s to t = 6 s)

$v_{6} = -6\,\frac{m}{s} +\int\limits^{6\,s}_{4\,s} {\left(1\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)} \, dt$

$v_{6} = -6\,\frac{m}{s}+\left(1\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right) \cdot (6\,s-4\,s)$

$v_{6} = -4\,\frac{m}{s}$

Region III (t = 6 s to t = 10 s)

$v_{10} = -4\,\frac{m}{s} +\int\limits^{10\,s}_{6\,s} {\left(2\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)} \, dt$

$v_{10} = -4\,\frac{m}{s}+\left(2\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right) \cdot (10\,s-6\,s)$

$v_{10} = 4\,\frac{m}{s}$

Finally, we draw the object's velocity graph as follows. Graphic is attached below.
