A cleaver physics professor wants to create a situation where a block starts from rest at the top of a 31.0° inclined plane and

encounters a spring at the bottom of the incline. The spring has a constant 3.4 kN/m and the block's mass is 33.0 kg. How far does the block travel before hitting the spring, if the spring was compressed 37 cm in it's initial collision?

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the length of inclined plane be L .

work done by gravity on the block

= force x length of path

= mg sinθ x L , m is mass of the block , θ is inclination of path

This in converted into potential energy of compressed spring

1/2 k x² = mgL sin31  , k is force constant . x is compression

.5 x 3400 x .37² = 33 x9.8 x sin31 L

L = 1.4

Length of incline = 1.4 m .

Naddika [18.5K]
Acceleration is the rate of change of the velocity of an object that is moving. This value is a result of all the forces that is acting on an object which is described by Newton's second law of motion. To determine acceleration, we need to know the initial velocity and the final velocity and the time elapsed. From the given values, we need t o calculate for the initial velocity. We use some kinematic equations. We do as follows:

 x = v0t + at^2/2
60 = v0(6) + a(6)^2/2
60 = 6v0 + 18a          (EQUATION 1)

vf = v0 + at
15 = v0 + a(6)
15 = v0 + 6a             (EQUATION 2)

Solving for v0 and a,
v0 = 5 m/s
a = 1.7 m/s^2

Calculate the electric potential at point A, the middle of the rectangle, and at point B, the middle of the right-hand side of t
dsp73

Answer:

With the help of formula.

Explanation:

We can calculate the electric potential of any point through the formula of electric potential which is given below.

Electric potential =  Coulomb constant x charge/ distance of separation.

Symbolically it can be written as,  V = k q/ r where

V = electric potential  

k = Coulomb constant

q = charge

r = distance of separation

If we have all these data, we can simply put the data in the formula and we will get the value of electric potential.

tia_tia [17]

Let the rescue boat starts at an angle theta with the North

now its velocity towards East is given as

v_x = 24sin\theta

v_y = -24cos\theta + 3

now in some time "t" it will catch the boy

so we will have

t = \frac{0.5}{24sin\theta}

also we have

t = \frac{2}{-24cos\theta + 3}

now we have

\frac{2}{-24cos\theta + 3} = \frac{0.5}{24sin\theta}

4*24sin\theta = - 24cos\theta + 3

96 sin\theta + 24cos\theta = 3

by solving above we got

\theta = 164 degree
