Answer:

3.At equilibrium, its instantaneous velocity is at maximum

Explanation:

The motion of a mass on the end of a spring is a simple harmonic motion. In a simple harmonic motion, the total mechanical energy of the system is constant, and it is sum of the elastic potential energy (U) and the kinetic energy of the mass (K):

E=U+K=\frac{1}{2}kx^2+\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = const.

where

k is the spring constant

x is the displacement of the spring from equilibrium

m is the mass

v is the speed

As we see from the formula, since the total energy E is constant, when the displacement (x) increases, the speed (v) increases, and viceversa. Therefore, when the mass is at its equilibrium position (which corresponds to x=0), the velocity of the mass will be maximum.

A 55 kg roller skater is at rest on a flat skating rink, a 198 N horizontal force is needed to set the skater in motion.
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

To get the person Moving you have to overcome the static (means not moving) friction coefficient.  U(static)

To get the person going at the same speed you have to overcome the kinetic friction coefficient. U(Kinetic)

Force to get him moving is 198 N.   Force = ma = U(static)Mg

combining the 2 equations you get 198N = U(static)* 55kg *9.8m/s^2   Solve for U(static)

Same equation to keep him moving except with the dynamic force and the dynamic U

 

175N=  U(kinetic)*55kg*9.8m/s^2  Solve (U dynamic)

If The density of this stainless steel is7.85 g/cm3,specific heatis 0.5 J/g.K, melting pointis 1673K, heat of fusion s0.260J/kg.
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

\Delta H=687.4 J

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, for this melting process, we can identify two sub-processes in order to take the stainless steel from solid to liquid:

1. Heat up from 298.15 K to 1673 K.

2. Undergo the phase transition.

Both process have an associated enthalpy as shown below:

\Delta H_1=1g*0.5\frac{J}{g*K} (1673K-298.15K)=687.4J

\Delta H_2=0.001kg*\frac{0.260J}{kg} =0.00026J

Therefore, the required heat is:

\Delta H=\Delta H_1+\Delta H_2\\\\\Delta H=687.4J+0.00026J\\\\\Delta H=687.4J

Notice the problem is not providing neither the mass or volume, that is why we assumed the mass is 1 g; however, it can be changed to the mass you are given.

Best regards!

1) The mass of the continent is 2.13\cdot 10^{21} kg

2) The kinetic energy of the continent is 274.8 J

3) The speed of the jogger must be 2.76 m/s

Explanation:

1)

The continent is a slab of side 5900 km (so the surface is 5900 x 5900, assuming it is a square) and depth 26 km, therefore its volume is:

V=(36)(4600)^2=7.62\cdot 10^8 km^3 = 7.62\cdot 10^{17} m^3

The mass of the continent is given by

m=\rho V

where:

\rho = 2790 kg/m^3 is its density

V=7.62\cdot 10^{17} m^3 is its volume

Substituting, we find the mass:

m=(2790)(7.62\cdot 10^{17})=2.13\cdot 10^{21} kg

2)

To find the kinetic energy, we need to convert the speed of the continent into m/s first.

The speed is

v = 1.6 cm/year

And we have:

1.6 cm = 0.016 m

1 year = (365)(24)(60)(60)=3.15\cdot 10^7 s

So, the speed is

v=\frac{0.016 m}{3.15 \cdot 10^7 s}=5.08\cdot 10^{-10}m/s

Now we can find the kinetic energy of the continent, which is given by

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

m=2.13\cdot 10^{21} kg is the mass

v=5.08\cdot 10^{-10}m/s is the speed

Substituting,

K=\frac{1}{2}(2.13\cdot 10^{21})(5.08\cdot 10^{-10})^2=274.8 J

3)

The jogger in this part has the same kinetic energy of the continent, so

K = 274.8 J

And its mass is

m = 72 kg

We can write his kinetic energy as

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

v is the speed of the man

And solving the equation for v, we find his speed:

v=\sqrt{\frac{2K}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(274.8)}{72}}=2.76 m/s

Specialized intermodal tank container which carries refrigerated liquid gases, oxygen, or helium
Nookie1986 [14]
This would be a cryogenic intermodal tank. These are used to store and transport HAZMAT gases that require storage under specific pressure and temperature parameters. Cryogenic Intermodal tanks have pressure of 25 Psi or less.
