A 63 gg ice cube can slide without friction up and down a 30∘30∘ slope. The ice cube is pressed against a spring at the bottom o

f the slope, compressing the spring 10 cm. The spring constant is 30 N/mN/m . When the ice cube is released, what total distance will it travel up the slope before reversing direction?

Given Information:

slope angle = θ = 30°

spring constant = k = 30 N/m

compressed length = x = 10 cm = 0.10 m

mass of ice cube = m = 63 g = 0.063 kg

Required Information:

distance traveled by ice cube = d = ?  

Answer:

distance traveled by ice cube = 0.48 m

Explanation:

Using the the principle of conversation of energy, the following relation holds true for this case,

mgh = 1/2*kx²

h = 1/2*kx²/mg

Where h is the height of the slope, m is the mass of ice cube, k is the spring constant and x is the compressed length o the spring and g is gravitational acceleration.

h = 1/2*kx²/mg

h = 1/2*30(0.1)²/0.063*9.8

h = 0.242 m

From trigonometry ratio,

sinθ = h/d

d = h/sinθ

d = 0.242/sin(30)

d = 0.48 m

Therefore, when the ice cube is released, it will travel a total distance 0.48 up the slope before reversing direction.

What are the units of the following properties? Enter your answer as a sequence of five letters separated by commas, e.g., A,F,G
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

The sequence is A,B,H,B,F

Explanation:

  • The Standard International unit is Kilogram (kg) and the mass of a body can also be expressed in gram (g).
  • Heat is a form of energy and the unit for energy is joule (J), thus the unit of heat is also joule (J).
  • Density is mass per unit volume where the unit of mass is gram (g) and the unit of volume can be taken as milli-liter (mL). Thus g/mL is the unit of density.
  • The unit of energy is joule (J).
  • Molarity is number of solute in mol dissolved in 1 liter of solution. Thus mol/L is the the unit of molarity.

A large box slides across a frictionless surface with a velocity of 12 m/s and a mass of 4
denpristay [2]
Answer= 8m/s

Because total Momentum before= total momentum after

Momentum before (p=mu)
p=(4)(12)= 48
p=2(0)=0
So total momentum before=48

Momentum after (p=mu)
Masses combined —2+4=6kg
p=6u


Mb=Ma
48=6u
u=8m/s
