Neil and Gus are having a competition to see who can launch a marble highest in the air using their own spring. Neil has a firm

spring (kNeil = 50.8 N/m), but it can be compressed only a maximum of yNeil, max = 14.0 cm. Gus’s spring is less firm than Neil’s (kGus = 12.7 N/m), but its maximum compression is greater (yGus, max = 27.0 cm). Given that the mass of the marble is 4.5 g and ignoring the effects of air resistance, who can launch the marble the highest and what is the winning height? Assume the marble starts from the same height, in both cases when the springs are at maximum compression.

Answer:

Neil (221.2m) can throw the marble higher than Gus (205.4 m)

Explanation:

Let's use the law of conservation of energy, the selected points are, the - --    maximum compression of the spring

        Eo = Ke = ½ k x2

Maximum height

        Ef = U = mgh

As there is no rubbing

         E = Ef

         ½ k x² = ½ m g h

         h = k x² / m

Let's calculate for each person

Neil

         x1 = 14.0 cm (1m / 100cm) = 0.140 m

         m = 4.5 gr (1 kg / 1000 g) = 4.5 10⁻³ kg

         h1 = 50.8 0.140 2 /4.5 10⁻³

         h1 = 221.2 m

Gus

        x2 = 27.0 cm = 0.270 m

        h2 = 12.7 0.270 2 /4.5 10⁻³

        h2 = 205.4 m

We see that Neil (221.2m) can throw the marble higher than Gus (205.4 m)

The magnitude of a vector can be positive or negative The magnitude of a vector can be less than the magnitude of one of its com
NARA [144]

Answer:

If magnitude of vector A is less than magnitude of vector B then its x-component will be also less      

Explanation:

In first case magnitude can never be negative -ve sign shows the direction only so it is incorrect statement.

The magnitude of any vector can never be less than its component because component of vector is found with the multiplication of sine and cos angle which values lies between 0 and 1 so after multiplication it gives less value than the vector

If magnitude of any vector is less then its x component will also be less because magnitude of component is dependent on the magnitude of vector

How many milliliters of water at 25.0°C with a density of 0.997 g/mL must be mixed with 162 mL of coffee at 94.6°C so that the r
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

The volume of water is 139 mL.

Explanation:

Due to the Law of conservation of energy, the heat lost by coffee is equal to the heat gained by the water, that is, the sum of heats is equal to zero.

Q_{coffee} + Q_{water} = 0\\Q_{coffee} = - Q_{water}

The heat (Q) can be calculated using the following expression:

Q=c \times m \times \Delta T

where,

c is the specific heat of each substance

m is the mass of each substance

ΔT is the difference in temperature for each substance

The mass of coffee is:

162mL.\frac{0.997g}{mL} = 162g

Then,

Q_{coffee} = - Q_{water}\\c_{c} \times m_{c} \times \Delta T_{c} = -c_{w} \times m_{w} \times \Delta T_{w}\\m_{c} \times \Delta T_{c} = -m_{w} \times \Delta T_{w}\\m_{w} = \frac{m_{c} \times \Delta T_{c}}{-\Delta T_{w}} \\m_{w}=\frac{162g \times (62.5 \°C - 94.6 \°C ) }{-(62.5 \°C - 25.0 \°C)} \\m_{w} = 139 g

The volume of water is:

139g.\frac{1mL}{0.997g} =139mL

How can doctors best detect medical problems?
Dvinal [7]
The way that doctors can best detect medical problems is :
by injecting a radioactive isotope that travels to the target's tissue and measures the amount of radioactive decay.
if the amount is less or mote than normal, he can conclude that the cause of the symptoms is related to that tissue

You are looking at a yellow flower growing outside in the sunshine. Why does it look yellow?
Alchen [17]

Answer:

It looks yellow because that is the only (major) color reflected.

Visible spectra is from about 4000-7000 Angstroms (10^-10 m).

Red are longer wavelengths and blue are the shorter wavelengths.

The Sodium doublet (yellow) occurs around 5900 Angstroms.
