A box sliding on a horizontal frictionless surface runs into a fixed spring, compressing it a distance x1 from its relaxed posit

ion while momentarily coming to rest. If the initial speed of the box were doubled, how far x2 would the spring compress?

Answer:

<em>2</em>x_{1}<em>, The spring would compress twice the length of </em>x_{1}<em>. </em>

Explanation:

The Spring force is an application of Hooke's law,  and using the law of conservation of energy in a spring system, we can find the relationship between the compression length and velocity.

<h3>Step by Step Calculations</h3>

For a spring system, the conservation of energy can be applied using the formula below;

\frac{1}{2} kx_{1} ^{2}  = \frac{1}{2} mv^{2} ........................................1

Where k is the spring constant

x_{1} is the distance

m is the mass and

v is the velocity

We have to make the distance the subject formula to know how it affects the velocity;

x_{1} ^{2}  = (\frac{m}{k} )v^{2}

x_{1} = \sqrt{(\frac{m}{k} )}v .....................................2

from the equation, it shows that the distance (x_{1}) is directly proportional to the velocity (v). This implies that when the distance increases the velocity also increases.

x ∝ v

Therefore when the initial speed is doubled to 2 v it will amount a double increase in the distance which is 2x_{1}

Salmon often jump waterfalls to reach their
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

The minimum velocity of the Salmon jumping at the given angle is 12.3 m/s.

The given parameters;

  • height of the waterfall, h = 0.432 m
  • distance of the Salmon from the waterfall, s = 3.17 m
  • angle of projection of the Salmon, = 30.8º

The time of motion to fall from 0.432 m is calculated as;

h = v_0_y + \frac{1}{2} gt^2\\\\0.432 = 0 + (0.5\times 9.8)t^2\\\\0.432 = 4.9t^2\\\\t^2 = \frac{0.432}{4.9} \\\\t^2 = 0.088\\\\t = \sqrt{0.088} \\\\t = 0.3 \ s

The minimum velocity of the Salmon jumping at the given angle is calculated as;

X = v_0_x t\\\\3.17 = (v_0\times cos(30.8)) \times 0.3\\\\10.567 = v_0\times cos(30.8)\\\\v_0 = \frac{10.567}{cos(30.8)} \\\\v_0 = 12.3 \ m/s

Thus, the minimum velocity of the Salmon jumping at the given angle is 12.3 m/s.

Juan lives 100 m away from Bill.What is Juan's averege speed if he reaches Bill's home in 50 s?
Tom [10]
Juan lives a hundred miles away from Bill then the average speed that he reaches Bill's Home in 50 seconds means that Juan lives 50 seconds away from bill because 50 + 50 seconds equals 100 seconds so Juansorry my bad Juan lives 50 miles away from Belle but he probably how I must have run to get to bill in 50 seconds .
