A mass of 4.0 kg is in motion along a horizontal, frictionless surface with a speed of 2.5 m/s when it makes contact with a hori

zontal spring anchored to a wall. The spring compresses and brings the mass to a momentary rest. The spring constant is 1250 N/m. a) Determine the maximum distance the spring is compressed. b) Determine the speed of the block when the spring is compressed a distance of 9.5 cm.

Simply use conservation of energy

The initial energy is purely kinetic: 0.5mv2

When the spring is compressed to the max, the energy is purely potential: 0.5kx2

When the spring is partially compressed, the energy is a mixture of both: 0.5mv2+0.5kx2

Since the energy is a constant at every step of the way, you can equate the initial energy to the maximum potential energy and isolate x to find the maximum compression, then, for a known compression, you can equate the total energy to the third equation I wrote and isolate the final velocity

If the initial upward speed of the ball in Activity 7 C.2 is 10m/s, and the ball is releasedat a height of 1.5 m above the oor,
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

6.5 m above the floor and 5 m above Christine's hand when it reaches the maximum height.

Explanation:

Let g = 10 m/s2 be the gravitational deceleration that affects the ball vertical motion so it comes to the maximum height at 0 speed. We can use the following equation of motion to find out the distance traveled by the ball from where it's thrown:

v^2 - v_0^2 = 2g\Delta s

where v = 0 m/s is the final velocity of the ball when it reaches maximum level, v_0 = 10m/s is the initial velocity of the ball when it starts, g = -10 m/s2 is the deceleration, and \Delta s is the distance traveled, which we care looking for:

0^2 - 10^2 = -2*(-10)\Delta s

\Delta s = 100 / (2 * 10) = 5 m

So the ball is 5 m above Christine' hands when it reaches maximum height, and since the hand is 1.5 m above the floor, the ball is 5 + 1.5 = 6.5 m above the floor when it reaches maximum height.

<span>We convert the Fahrenheit temperature to Celsius. C = F 32 F 5 C = 15 F 32 F 5 C = 26 C . The antifreeze only protects to 9 F 9 F 22 C and thus it will not offer protection to temperatures as low as 15 F = 26.1 C . 2A (E) The mass is the difference between the mass of the full and empty flask. density = 291.4 g 108.6 g = 1.46 g/mL 125 mL 2B (E) First determine the volume required. V = (1.000 × 103 g) (8.96 g cm-3) = 111.6 cm3.

juin [17]

Answer:

Following are the solution to this question:

Explanation:

Law:

\to \theta= 180^{\circ}- 50^{\circ}- 25^{\circ}

      = 180^{\circ}- 75^{\circ}\\\\= 105^{\circ}

\to \frac{T_{L}}{\sin (90+50)}= \frac{T_{R}}{\sin (25+90)}=\frac{1400}{\sin (105)}

\to T_L=931.65 \ pounds \\\\ \to T_R=1313.59 \ pounds \\\\

Explain the melting of a solid in terms of molecules and energy​
Pie
When you melt a solid the heat creates energy, when you heat up molecules they will move quicker and start to somewhat break apart into a liquid structure.
