Elias stretches a rubber band and let's it go. The rubber band flies across the room. Elias says this demonstrates the transform

ation of kinetic energy to elastic potential energy. Is Elias correct? Explain.

Answer:

This is not correct, actually it shows the transformation of elastic potential energy into kinetic energy.

Explanation:

We will explain this with and example and some numerical values to demostrate this energy transformation.

The elastic band has a behavior similar to a spring which is compressed and when released it transforms its energy from elastic to kinetic, we're going to choose a system which consists of a body 1 [kg], which is compressed against a spring with a constant of 20[kN/m], the maximum point where it is compressed is taken as the reference point where the energy potential is zero. When the package is released determine the maximum height the package reaches when released. The spring has been compressed 50 [mm].

In the attached image we can see a sketch of the mass and the spring, and the conditions of the block at maximum height.

The energy when we compress the spring will be:

U_{1-2} =\frac{1}{2} *k*dx\\where\\k=spring constant [kN/m]\\dx=spring change [m]

The energy when the block is in the highest position will be defined only by the potential energy with respect to the reference point. In this point the velocity is zero.

U_{1-2} =\frac{1}{2} *(20000)*(50*10^-3)\\U_{1-2}= 500[J]\\Elastic energy = potential energy\\U_{1-2}=Ep\\Ep=m*g*h\\500 = 1*9.81*h\\h= 50 [m]

We can see that the mass goes 50 [m] in the vertical direction, as a result of the transformation of elasticity energy into potential.

The valence electrons of metals are weakly attracted to the parent nuclei, so the electrons break free and float. The moving electrons form a electron <u>negative</u> blanket that binds the atomic <u>positive</u> nuclei together, forming a metallic bond.

So the answers are <u>{ Negative }</u> and <u>{ Positive }.</u>

Two coils close to each other have a mutual inductance of 32 mH. If the current in one coil decays according to I=I0e−αt, where
fiasKO [112]

The emf induced in the second coil is given by:

V = -M(di/dt)

V = emf, M = mutual indutance, di/dt = change of current in the first coil over time

The current in the first coil is given by:

i = i₀e^{-at}

i₀ = 5.0A, a = 2.0×10³s⁻¹

i = 5.0e^(-2.0×10³t)

Calculate di/dt by differentiating i with respect to t.

di/dt = -1.0×10⁴e^(-2.0×10³t)

Calculate a general formula for V. Givens:

M = 32×10⁻³H, di/dt = -1.0×10⁴e^(-2.0×10³t)

Plug in and solve for V:

V = -32×10⁻³(-1.0×10⁴e^(-2.0×10³t))

V = 320e^(-2.0×10³t)

We want to find the induced emf right after the current starts to decay. Plug in t = 0s:

V = 320e^(-2.0×10³(0))

V = 320e^0

V = 320 volts

We want to find the induced emf at t = 1.0×10⁻³s:

V = 320e^(-2.0×10³(1.0×10⁻³))

V = 43 volts

Answer:

1030 mph

Explanation:

The new velocity equals the initial velocity plus the wind velocity.

First, in the x (east) direction:

vₓ = 335 mph + 711 cos 19° mph

vₓ = 1007 mph

And in the y (north) direction:

vᵧ = 0 mph + 711 sin 19° mph

vᵧ = 231 mph

The net speed can be found with Pythagorean theorem:

v² = vₓ² + vᵧ²

v² = (1007 mph)² + (231 mph)²

v ≈ 1030 mph

What is the formula of the compound between calcium and sulfur that has the percent composition 55.6?
Yanka [14]

CaS is the empirical formula of the compound between calcium and sulphur that has the percent composition 55.6.

When percentages are given, we take a total mass of 100 grams.

Therefore the mass of each element is equal to the percentage given.

Mass of Ca = 55.6 g (given) of

S Mass = 44.4 g (100 - 55.6 = 44.4)

Step 1: Convert the given mass to moles.

moles Ca = given mass Ca / molar mass Ca

moles = 55.6 / 40 = 1.39 moles

mol S = specific mass S / molar mass S

mol = 44.4 / 32 = 1.39 mol

Step 2: Divide the molar ratio of each molar value by the smallest number of moles calculated.

For Ca = 1.39 / 1.39 = 1

For S = 1.39 / 1.39 = 1

The ratio of Ca : S = 1:1

Hence the empirical formula of the given compound will be CaS.

valkas [14]

Answer: oceanic crust moved over the hot spot, each recently formed volcano was carried away from the hot spot toward the northwest, cutting off its source of lava. Meanwhile, a new island was forming so that over time a chain of islands was produced extending away from the hot spot.ANSWER HERE: This mean that volcanos are producing these new islands and it is creating a chain of different islands all over Hawaii.
