A block with mass 0.470 kg sits at rest on a light but not long vertical spring that has spring constant 85.0 N/m and one end on

the floor. A second identical block is dropped onto the first from a height of 4.40 m above the first block and sticks to it. What is the maximum elastic potential energy stored in the spring during the motion of the blocks after the collision?

Answer: elastic potential energy = 20.27 J

Explanation:

Given that the

Mass M = 0.470 kg

Height h = 4.40 m

Spring constant K = 85 N/m

The maximum elastic potential will be equal to the maximum kinetic energy experienced by the block.

But according to conservative of energy, the maximum kinetic energy is equal to the maximum potential energy experienced by the block of mass M.

That is

K .E = P.E = mgh

Where g = 9.8m/s^2

Substitutes all the parameters into the formula

K.E = 0.470 × 9.8 × 4.4

K.E = 20.27 J

Where K.E = maximum elastic potential energy stored in the spring during the motion of the blocks after the collision which is 20.27J.

Spaceship 1 and Spaceship 2 have equal masses of 200 kg. They collide.
zalisa [80]

Answer:  600 kg-m/s

Explanation:

Momentum = mass x velocity

momentum of spaceship 1 = 200 x 2

= 400 kg-m/s

momentum of spaceship 2 = 200 x 2

= 200 kg-m/s

Their combine momentum = 400 + 200 = 600 kg-m/s

If an earthquake occurred in Miami, Florida, then how long would it take for a seismic station in Seattle, Washington, to pick u
Juliette [100K]

0.017s

Explanation:

Given parameter

Distance = 5000km = 5 x 10⁶m

Unknown:

time taken = ?

Solution:

We use the normal speed equation to solve this problem as we take the speed of the wave to be 3 x 10⁸m/s.

   Speed = \frac{Distance }{Time taken}

   Inputting the parameters:

             Time taken = \frac{distance }{velocity of the wave}

  Time taken = \frac{ 5 000000}{3 00000000} = 0.017s

An object located near the surface of Earth has a weight of a 245 N
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

The mass of the object is 24.5 kg and weight of the object on Mars is 91.14 N.

Explanation:

Weight of the object on the surface of Earth, W = 245 N

On the surface of Earth, acceleration due to gravity, g = 10 m/s²

Weight of an object is given by :

W = mg

m is mass

m=\dfrac{W}{g}\\\\m=\dfrac{245\ N}{10\ m/s^2}\\\\=24.5\ kg

So, the mass of the object is 24.5 kg

Acceleration due to gravity on Mars, g' = 3.72 m/s²

Weight of the object on Mars,

W' =mg'

W' = 24.5 kg × 3.72 m/s²

= 91.14 N

So, the weight of the object on Mars is 91.14 N.

A stone is dropped from a bridge abd it hits the water 2.2 seconds later how high is the bridge above the water
Bess [88]

Answer:

h = 23.716 m

Explanation:

Given that,

The time taken by the stone to hit the water is, t = 2.2 s

Height of the bridge above the ground, h = ?

The distance that the body will fall through the time is given by the formula

                                S = 1/2 gt²  m

Where,        

                              g - acceleration due to gravity

Substituting the values in the above equation

                               S = 1/2 x 9.8 m/s² x (2.2 s)²

                                  = 23.716  m

Therefore, the height of the bridge from the surface of the water is h = 23.716  m
