A 190 g glider on a horizontal, frictionless air track is attached to a fixed ideal spring with force constant 160 N/m. At the i

laiz [17]

(a) Let x be the maximum elongation of the spring. At this point, the glider would have zero velocity and thus zero kinetic energy. The total work W done by the spring on the glider to get it from the given point (4.00 cm from equilibrium) to x is

W = - (1/2 kx ² - 1/2 k (0.0400 m)²)

(note that x > 4.00 cm, and the restoring force of the spring opposes its elongation, so the total work is negative)

By the work-energy theorem, the total work is equal to the change in the glider's kinetic energy as it moves from 4.00 cm from equilibrium to x, so

W = ∆K = 0 - 1/2 m (0.835 m/s)²

Solve for x :

- (1/2 (160 N/m) x ² - 1/2 (160 N/m) (0.0400 m)²) = -1/2 (0.190 kg) (0.835 m/s)²

==> x ≈ 0.0493 m ≈ 4.93 cm

(b) The glider attains its maximum speed at the equilibrium point. The work done by the spring as it is stretched away from equilibrium to the 4.00 cm position is

W = - 1/2 k (0.0400 m)²

If v is the glider's maximum speed, then by the work-energy theorem,

W = ∆K = 1/2 m (0.835 m/s)² - 1/2 mv ²

Solve for v :

- 1/2 (160 N/m) (0.0400 m)² = 1/2 (0.190 kg) (0.835 m/s)² - 1/2 (0.190 kg) v ²

==> v ≈ 1.43 m/s

√(k/m) = √((160 N/m) / (0.190 kg)) ≈ 29.0 Hz

Which is not part of nuclear chemistry? A. Strong nuclear force B. Double-replacement reactions C. Radioactivity D. Nuclear deca

ziro4ka [17]

The correct choice is

B. Double-replacement reactions

in this type of reaction , two ionic compounds react and swaps their cations or anions giving two new compounds in the product. hence the double replacement reactions does not deal with the nucleus. all other terms like strong nuclear forces, radioactivity and nuclear decay deal with the nucleus.

Our body contains ______________ potential energy from food we have eaten.

Alisiya [41]

Answer: Our body contains chemical potential energy from food we have eaten.

This chemical potential energy is transformed into the kinetic energy of our hands and arms as we rub our hands together.

As our hands move past each other and rub against each other, friction allows the kinetic energy to be transformed into thermal energy on the surface of our hands.

Explanation:

It is true that our food contains chemical bonds and these bonds have potential energy stored. So, when we eat food then our body acquires chemical potential energy.

When we rub our hands and arms then they form kinetic energy as atoms present within the skin of our hands come into motion. This rubbing of hands leads to the formation of heat which means thermal energy is being generated.

Thus, we can conclude that our body contains chemical potential energy from food we have eaten.

This chemical potential energy is transformed into the kinetic energy of our hands and arms as we rub our hands together.

As our hands move past each other and rub against each other, friction allows the kinetic energy to be transformed into thermal energy on the surface of our hands.
