Answer:
v = 2.94 m/s
Explanation:
When the spring is compressed, its potential energy is equal to (1/2)kx^2, where k is the spring constant and x is the distance compressed. At this point there is no kinetic energy due to there being no movement, meaning the net energy in the system is (1/2)kx^2.
Once the spring leaves the system, it will be moving at a constant velocity v, if friction is ignored. At this time, its kinetic energy will be (1/2)mv^2. It won't have any spring potential energy, making the net energy (1/2)mv^2.
Because of the conservation of energy, these two values can be set equal to each other, since energy will not be gained or lost while the spring is decompressing. That means
(1/2)kx^2 = (1/2)mv^2
kx^2 = mv^2
v^2 = (kx^2)/m
v = sqrt((kx^2)/m)
v = x * sqrt(k/m)
v = 0.122 * sqrt(125/0.215) <--- units converted to m and kg
v = 2.94 m/s
Answer:
caves are mainly formed by water or in some other cases limestone.
Answer:
C. Takes heat in, does work, and loses energy heat.
Explanation:
Heat engine is a system makes use of thermal energy (heat) to in order to do mechanical work.
This occurs by converting the heat into mechanical energy. This energy is then used to do work.
The key characteristic of a heat engine is that the substance with which work is done by, goes from a higher temperature to a lower temperature.
Hence, it loses heat as it does work.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
Snell's law states:
n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂
where n is the index of refraction and θ is the angle of incidence (relative to the normal).
The index of refraction of air is approximately 1. So:
1 sin 30° = 1.52 sin θ
θ ≈ 19°
