Answer:Work

Explanation:

When a spring is compressed the energy changes from kinetic to potential energy as Energy cannot be destroyed but can be transformed from one form to another.

This can be best explained with the help of work. Suppose a block with certain kinetic energy comes in contact to the spring its kinetic energy changes to Potential Energy of the spring or we can say that its Kinetic Energy is converted to Potential energy as the block does work on spring.  

Block compresses the spring by changing its length and it requires some work which is equal to change in its Potential Energy of spring.

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

5.0 × 10⁵

Explanation:

Quantity of charge Q = It

V= IR

I = V / R

Q = Vt/R

Q = ne

ne = Vt/R

n, number of K⁺ ions = Vt / Re

V = 80 × 10 ⁻³

t = 1 × 10⁻³ s

R = 1  × 10⁹ Ω

e = 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁶C

n, number of K⁺ ions = (80 × 10 ⁻³ V ×  1 × 10⁻³ s ) / (1  × 10⁹ Ω ×  1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹C) = 5.0 × 10⁵

Any projectile always has a constant vertical acceleration of _______.
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: C. -9.81 m/s²

Explanation:

A. 9.81 m/s²  acceleration is considered positive when it goes to the center of the earth, so this option is incorrect.

B. 0 m/s²  This option is incorrect because acceleration is 0 for a linear motion without acceleration.

C. -9.81 m/s²  If a projectile goes to the sky, then the acceleration will be negative.

D. It is not constant. Acceleration is constant.

A 49 kg person is being dragged in their sleeping bag to the lake by a 593 N
crimeas [40]

Answer:

f = 485.62 N

Explanation:

Since, the bag is moving with some acceleration. Hence, the unbalanced force will be given as:

Unbalanced Force = Horizontal Component Applied Force - Frictional Force

Unbalanced Force = Fx - f

But, from Newtons Second Law of Motion:

Unbalanced Force = ma

comparing the equations:

ma = Fx - f

f = F Cos θ - ma

where,

f = frictional force  = ?

F = Applied force  = 593 N

m = mass of person = 49 kg

a = acceleration = 0.57 m/s²

θ = Angle with horizontal = 30°

Therefore,

f = (593 N)(Cos 30°) - (49 kg)(0.57 m/s²)

f = 513.55 N - 27.93 N

<u>f = 485.62 N</u>

Why must objects be cooled before their mass is determined on a sensitive balance?
zubka84 [21]
Objects should be cooled before their mass is determined on a sensitive balance because it could damage the balance. Also, because it would give you wrong reading of the mass. Hot objects would warm the air around it. A warm air would expand and would produce convection as it rises causing to give the object a mass that is less than the actual. Another reason would be it would cause instability in the readings, the mass would fluctuate every now and then due to the convection currents around the object. It is always recommended to weigh the masses of objects that are in room temperature.
