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

Explain how an alpine glacier can change the topography of a mountainous area
igor_vitrenko [27]
<span>An alpine glacier can change the topography of a mountainous area through Glacial Erosion and Glacial Deposition. Glaciers are agents of erosion, it can pick up and carry large rocks and sediments. In the process, a deep cavity or hole can form when the glacier plucks a big rock from where it passed. Glaciers have shaped many Mountain Ranges and have created distinct landforms by its erosion process.  In Glacial Deposition, as glaciers melt, it deposits all that it carried and a landform is developed.</span>

The correct equation for the x component of a vector named A with an angle measured from the x axis would be which of the follow
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

Acosθ

Explanation:

The x-component of a vector is defined as :

Magnitude * cosine of the angle

Maginitude * cosθ

The magnitude is represented as A

Hence, horizontal, x - component of the vector is :

Acosθ

Furthermore,

The y-component is taken as the sin of the of the angle multiplied by the magnitude

Vertical, y component : Asinθ

A 25 kg ball is thrown into the air when thrown it's going 10 m/s calculate how high it travels
Diano4ka-milaya [45]
On Earth, the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s² downward.
So any object with only gravity acting on it gains 9.8 m/s of
downward speed every second.

If the rock starts out moving upward at 10 m/s, then it will
continue upward for only  (10/9.8) = 1.02 second, before
it stops rising and starts falling.

Its average speed during that time is  (1/2) (10 + 0) = 5 m/s .

At an average speed of 5 m/s for 1.02 sec,
the rock rises

                   (5 m/s) x (1.02 sec)  =  5.102 meters .
