Answer:

The spring constant of the spring is k=4.9\times 10^3\ N/m.

Explanation:

Mass of the rock is 2.5 kg

It is dropped off a 32 m cliff and hits a spring, compressing it 57 cm. It is required to find the spring constant.

When it falls form a height, it possess potential energy and when it hits a spring, the potential energy gets converted to elastic potential energy such that :

mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2

Here, k is spring constant

k=\dfrac{2mgh}{x^2}\\\\k=\frac{2\cdot2.5\cdot10\cdot32}{0.57^{2}}\\\\k=4924.59\ N/m

k=4.9\times 10^3\ N/m

So, the spring constant of the spring is k=4.9\times 10^3\ N/m.

Answer the questions.
Studentka2010 [4]

a) The wind is generated because there are different values of pressure in the amtophera. That is, it is generated due to a pressure difference between two atmospheric points. Generally the movement is performed when the air travels from the highest pressure point, to the lowest pressure point. This is also a direct cause of different types of wind speeds.

b) If the cloud moves from one direction to another, it will indicate that from the starting point the pressure is higher, and the point towards which it is directed, the pressure is lower. If we place this on a Cartesian plane with reference to the cardinal points, we can know the approximate place or area where the pressures are different.

Help with physics projectile motion​
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

10.4 m/s

Explanation:

First, find the time it takes for the projectile to fall 6 m.

Given:

y₀ = 6 m

y = 0 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = -9.8 m/s²

Find: t

y = y₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

(0 m) = (6 m) + (0 m/s) t + ½ (-9.8 m/s²) t²

t = 1.11 s

Now find the horizontal position of the target after that time:

Given:

x₀ = 6 m

v₀ = 5 m/s

a = 0 m/s²

t = 1.11 s

Find: x

x = x₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

x = (6 m) + (5 m/s) (1.11 s) + ½ (0 m/s²) (1.11 s)²

x = 11.5 m

Finally, find the launch velocity needed to travel that distance in that time.

Given:

x₀ = 0 m

x = 11.5 m

t = 1.11 s

a = 0 m/s²

Find: v₀

(11.5 m) = (0 m) + v₀ (1.11 s) + ½ (0 m/s²) (1.11 s)²

v₀ = 10.4 m/s

Which of the following objects has the greatest density
maks197457 [2]
The density is determined on the steepness of the slope. The greater the density is bases upon the steepest slope. To conclude, I'd say Line A has the steepest slope therefore has the greatest density.
