What collides and creates a movement of heat called conduction?

A 1kg ball is dropped (from rest) 100m onto a spring with spring constant 125N/m. How much does the spring compress?

Anastasy [175]

Answer:

3.95 m

Explanation:

m = 1 kg, h = 100 m, k = 125 N/m

Let the spring is compressed by y.

Use the conservation of energy

potential energy of the mass is equal to the energy stored in the spring

m x g x h = 1/2 x ky^2

1 x 9.8 x 100 = 0.5 x 125 x y^2

y^2 = 15.68

y = 3.95 m

Explain why two different elements cannot occupy the same box in the periodic table

bezimeni [28]

They cant occupy the same box in the periodic table because each atom has a certain number of protons which is the atomic number and no two atoms have the same amount of protons.

A small car has a head-on collision with a large truck. Which of the following statements concerning the magnitude of the averag

andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

The small car and the truck experience the same average force.

Explanation:

Here we need to remember two of Newton's laws.

The second one says that:

F = m*a

force equals mass times acceleration.

And the third one says that;

"If an object A exerts a force on object B, then object B must exert a force of equal magnitude and opposite direction back on object A"

From the third law, if the car experiences a force F due to the impact with the truck, then the truck experiences the same force F due to the impact.

But this seems odd, because we would expect to see the car being more affected by the impact, right?

Well, this is explained by the second law.

Suppose that the mass of the car is m, and the mass of the truck is M.

such that M > m

Then for the small car we have:

F = m*a

And for the truck:

F = M*a'

Because the force is the same for both of them, we can write:

m*a = M*a'

a = (M/m)*a'

because M > m, then M/m > 1.

This means that the acceleration that the car experiences is larger than the acceleration for the truck, and this is why we would see that the car seems more affected by the impact, regardless of the fact that both vehicles experience the same force in the impact.

A car is moving at 19 m/s along a curve on a horizontal plane with radius of curvature 49m.

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

$\mu =0.75$

Explanation:

<u>Frictional Force </u>

When the car is moving along the curve, it receives a force that tries to take it from the road. It's called centripetal force and the formula to compute it is:

$F_c=m.a_c$

The centripetal acceleration a_c is computed as

$\displaystyle a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}$

Where v is the tangent speed of the car and r is the radius of curvature. Replacing the formula into the first one

$F_c=m.\frac{v^2}{r}$

For the car to keep on the track, the friction must have the exact same value of the centripetal force and balance the forces. The friction force is computed as

$F_r=\mu N$
