No. Mechanical energy is not conserved. There's quite a bit of friction on the slide. So some of the potential energy is lost to heat on the way down, and the child arrives at the bottom with hot pants and less kinetic energy than you might expect.

A 3500 N is force is applied to a spring that has a spring of constant of k= 14000 N/m. How far from equilibrium will the spring

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

the spring be displaced by 25.0 cm

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

As we know that

F= -K × x

So,

$x = \frac{-F}{K}$

Now

$x = \frac{-3500}{14000} \\\\$

= -0.250m

= 25.0 cm

Hence, the spring be displaced by 25.0 cm

What is the kinetic energy of a 8kg cat running 5m/s?

ivanzaharov [21]

<span>K.E = 0.5 * m * v^2 ( m = mass(Kg), V = Velocity(m/s)
= 0.5 * 8 * 5^2
= 4 * 25
= 100 J </span>
