Answer:

0.03924 m

Explanation:

Let g = 9.81 m/s2. Let x be the maximum distance that the spring will stretch. And let the potential energy reference point be at the the lower end where the spring is stretched to the maximum. Using mechanical energy conservation we have the following:

- At the bottom end where the spring is stretched to maximum: potential and kinetic energy is 0. Elastic energy is kx^2/2

- At the point where the weight is placed: potential energy is mgx, kinetic energy and elastic energy is 0 (because the spring is not stretched)

E_p = E_e

kx^2/2 = mgx

x = 2mg/k = 2*3*9.81/1500 = 0.03924 m

vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) Time period  T = 2 s

Angular velocity ω = 2π / T

=  2π / 2 = 3.14 rad /s

Initial moment of inertia I₁ = 200 + mr²

= 200 + 25 x 2.5²

=356.25

Final moment of inertia

I₂ = 200 + 25 X 1.5 X 1.5

= 256.25

b ) We apply law of conservation of momentum

I₁ X ω₁ =  I₂ X ω₂

ω₂ = I₁ X ω₁ / I₂

Putting the values

w_2=\frac{356.25\times3.14}{256.25}

ω₂ = 4.365 rad s⁻¹

c ) Increase in rotational kinetic energy

=1/2 I₂ X ω₂² -  1/2 I₁ X ω₁²

.5 X 256.25 X 4.365² - .5 X 356.25 X 3.14²

= 684.95 J

This energy comes from work done against the centripetal pseudo -force.

If you apply the same amount of force to a 0.1-kilogram baseball and a 0.05-kilogram tennis ball, which one will accelerate more
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

The tennis ball.

Explanation:

Because the baseball is heavier, it requires more force to move it, whereas the tennis ball requires less force, so it will move more. Hope that makes sense!

RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

b. the Paleozoic Era

Explanation:

The first vertebrates to appear are primitive fish in the Cambrian Period, but bony fishes with actual bony vertebratae didn't appear for another 100 million years. The Cambrian Period is the first of three periods in the Paleozoic Era. The Cambrian explosion was an event when practically all major animal phyla started appearing in the fossil record.
