Sarah and her friends the swim team are playing on the high dive. One of Sarah's friends throws her back pack, containing her sw

im supplies, into the pool from the high dive platform. The back pack weighs 50 N. When the back pack hits the water, it encounters a 50.0 N upward resistance force. The swim coach, who also happens to be the physics teacher says: "This is a great opportunity to discuss the forces exerted on Sarah's back pack!"
Several students in the group made comments to the Coach about the back pack. Which student has the correct analysis of the forces and motion of the back pack?


A) Once the back pack hits the water, the forces are balanced and the back pack will stop moving.
B) The upward force of the water on the back pack is less than the downward pull of gravity. The back pack accelerates until it reaches the bottom of the pool.
C) Once the back pack hits the water, the forces are balanced (50 N down and 50 N up). But when the back pack hits the water, it stops accelerating; it does not stop moving.
Eliminate
D) Upon hitting the water, the back pack will accelerate upwards because the water applies an upward force. The forces are unbalanced; the upward force is greater than gravity.

I attach a 4.1 kg block to a spring that obeys Hooke's law and supply 3.8 J of energy to stretch the spring. I release the block
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

The amplitude of the oscillation is 2.82 cm

Explanation:

Given;

mass of attached block, m = 4.1 kg

energy of the stretched spring, E = 3.8 J

period of oscillation, T = 0.13 s

First, determine the spring constant, k;

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }

where;

T is the period oscillation

m is mass of the spring

k is the spring constant

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} } \\\\k = \frac{m*4\pi ^2}{T^2} \\\\k = \frac{4.1*4*(3.142^2)}{(0.13^2)} \\\\k = 9580.088 \ N/m\\\\

Now, determine the amplitude of oscillation, A;

E = \frac{1}{2} kA^2

where;

E is the energy of the spring

k is the spring constant

A is the amplitude of the oscillation

E = \frac{1}{2} kA^2\\\\2E = kA^2\\\\A^2 = \frac{2E}{k} \\\\A = \sqrt{\frac{2E}{k} } \\\\A =  \sqrt{\frac{2*3.8}{9580.088} }\\\\A = 0.0282 \ m\\\\A = 2.82 \ cm

Therefore, the amplitude of the oscillation is 2.82 cm

Predict whether the changes in enthalpy, entropy, and free energy will be positive or negative for the melting of ice, and expla
BlackZzzverrR [31]
  <span>Melting of ice is an endothermic process, meaning that energy is absorbed. When ice spontaneously melts, ΔH (change in enthalpy) is "positive". ΔS (entropy change) is also positive, because, becoming a liquid, water molecules lose their fixed position in the ice crystal, and become more disorganized. ΔG (free energy of reaction) is negative when a reaction proceeds spontaneously, as it happens in this case. Ice spontaneously melts at temperatures higher than 0°C. However, liquid water also spontaneously freezes at temperatures below 0°C. Therefore the temperature is instrumental in determining which "melting" of ice, or "freezing" of water becomes spontaneous. The whole process is summarized in the Gibbs free energy equation: 
ΔG = ΔH – TΔS</span>
