You compress a spring by a distance of 0.2 m. The spring has a spring constant of 37 N/m. When you release the spring, it snaps

back. What is the kinetic energy of the spring as it reaches its natural length?

At that point it is no longer trying to uncompress nor is it trying to stretch.  This is the same thing as a pendulum at the bottom of its swing, no longer falling but not yet rising against gravity.  Thus the kinetic energy there is the same as the potential energy when it is compressed.  The energy of compression is
\frac{1}{2}k x^{2}
This gives E=0.5(37)(0.2)²=0.74J
This is the same as the kinetic energy when it is at natural length

One end of a 34-m unstretchable rope is tied to a tree; the other end is tied to a car stuck in the mud. The motorist pulls side
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

Fc = 89.67N

Explanation:

Since the rope is unstretchable, the total length will always be 34m.

From the attached diagram, you can see that we can calculate the new separation distance from the tree and the stucked car H as follows:

L1+L2=34m

L1^2=L2^2=L^2=2^2+(H/2)^2  Replacing this value in the previous equation:

\sqrt{2^2+H^2/4}+ \sqrt{2^2+H^2/4}=34  Solving for H:

H=\sqrt{52}

We can now, calculate the angle between L1 and the 2m segment:

\alpha = atan(\frac{H/2}{2})=60.98°

If we make a sum of forces in the midpoint of the rope we get:

-2*T*cos(\alpha ) + F = 0  where T is the tension on the rope and F is the exerted force of 87N.

Solving for T, we get the tension on the rope which is equal to the force exerted on the car:

T=Fc=\frac{F}{2*cos(\alpha) } = 89.67N

What are the two requirements of a circuit so that current will flow?
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

-The battery-the power source

-Closed conducting loop

Explanation:

-To produce an electric current, the following requirements must be met:

-A battery-This is the energy source than will do work on the charge thus moving from a low energy location to high energy location.

-Closed Conducting Loop-The loop is usually made of copper wires due to their high electric conductivity.

As ice melts, more sunlight is absorbed. As more sunlight is absorbed, the atmosphere heats up. As the atmosphere heats up, more
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer: Conduction

Explanation: As ice melts,more sunlight is absorbed,as more sunlight is absorbed,the atmosphere heats up,as the atmosphere heats up,more ice melts. This whole process is known as CONDUCTION.

Conduction occurs when there is different temperature between two materials, when there exist a transfer energy(i.e transfer from higher-energy atoms in the hot region to the lower-energy atoms in the cold region). When the atmosphere is heated up due to sunlight,there is a rise in temperature which makes the ice to melt due to transfer of warmth it absorbed from sunlight.

Which is better? ( Gifting or Receiving )
Katen [24]
Honestly, giving. I know that receiving may feel very good, and you get that new thing that you wanted but if you give, you feel really good when you see that smile on someone else’s face.
