A 0.454-kg block is attached to a horizontal spring that is at its equilibrium length, and whose force constant is 21.0 N/m. The

block rests on a frictionless surface. A 5.30×10?2-kg wad of putty is thrown horizontally at the block, hitting it with a speed of 8.97 m/s and sticking.Part AHow far does the putty-block system compress the spring?

Answer:

Explanation:

Force constant of spring K = 21 N /m

we shall find the common velocity of putty-block system from law of conservation of momentum .

Initial momentum of putty

= 5.3 x 10⁻² x 8.97

= 47.54 x 10⁻² kg m/s

If common velocity after collision be V

47.54 x 10⁻² = ( 5.3x 10⁻² + .454) x V

V = .937 m/s

If x be compression on hitting the putty

1/2 k x² = 1/2 m V²

21 x² = ( 5.3x 10⁻² + .454) x .937²

x² = .0212

x = .1456 m

14.56 cm

The force generated by a long muscle varies as it contracts through its range of movement. At which point is the greatest force
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

When the muscle is completely contract.

Explanation:

Remember the that maximum force of a muscle is when is completely contract. A characteristic of a muscle is that can contract and can relax in the opposite direction. In this way, when all the microfibers of the muscle are join together (they are contract) is when the maximum tissue force is applied.

With exercise the fibers of the muscles can grow or reproduce to strength the muscle.

In certain cases, using both the momentum principle and energy principle to analyze a system is useful, as they each can reveal
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

A) F_g = 26284.48 N

B) v = 7404.18 m/s

C) E = 19.19 × 10^(10) J

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass of satellite; m = 3500 kg

Mass of the earth; M = 6 x 10²⁴ Kg

Earth circular orbit radius; R = 7.3 x 10⁶ m

A) Formula for the gravitational force is;

F_g = GmM/r²

Where G is gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10^(-11) N.m²/kg²

Plugging in the relevant values, we have;

F_g = (6.67 × 10^(-11) × 3500 × 6 x 10²⁴)/(7.3 x 10⁶)²

F_g = 26284.48 N

B) From the momentum principle, we have that the gravitational force is equal to the centripetal force.

Thus;

GmM/r² = mv²/r

Making v th subject, we have;

v = √(GM/r)

Plugging in the relevant values;

v = √(6.67 × 10^(-11) × 6 x 10²⁴)/(7.3 x 10⁶))

v = 7404.18 m/s

C) From the energy principle, the minimum amount of work is given by;

E = (GmM/r) - ½mv²

Plugging in the relevant values;

E = [(6.67 × 10^(-11) × 3500 × 6 × 10²⁴)/(7.3 x 10⁶)] - (½ × 3500 × 7404.18)

E = 19.19 × 10^(10) J

Which of the following describes the way heat is transferred in a geyser?
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

Heat is transferred by the hot air or water moving to a cooler area. The elements rotate in circular motions, giving the geyser pressure.
