Answer:

The speed of the block is 8.2 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

mass of block, m = 2.1 kg

height above the top of the spring, h = 5.5 m

First, we determine the spring constant based on the principle of conservation of potential energy

¹/₂Kx² = mg(h +x)

¹/₂K(0.25)² = 2.1 x 9.8(5.5 +0.25)

0.03125K = 118.335

K = 118.335 / 0.03125

K = 3786.72 N/m

Total energy stored in the block at rest is only potential energy given as:

E = U = mgh

U = 2.1 x 9.8 x 5.5 = 113.19 J

Work done in compressing the spring to 15.0 cm:

W = ¹/₂Kx² = ¹/₂ (3786.72)(0.15)² = 42.6 J

This is equal to elastic potential energy stored in the spring,

Then, kinetic energy of the spring is given as:

K.E = E - W

K.E = 113.19 J - 42.6 J

K.E = 70.59 J

To determine the speed of the block due to this energy:

KE =  ¹/₂mv²

70.59 =  ¹/₂ x 2.1 x v²

70.59 = 1.05v²

v² = 70.59 / 1.05

v² = 67.229

v = √67.229

v = 8.2 m/s

Answer:

The speed of the block when the compression of the spring is 15 cm is 8.31 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

m = 2.1 kg

h = 5.5 m

x = 25 cm = 0.25 m

x₁ = 15 cm = 0.15 m

The energy is equal to:

K=\frac{2mgh}{x^{2} } =\frac{2*2.1*9.8*5.5}{0.25^{2} } =3622.08N/m

The total energy is equal to:

E_{total} =mgh=2.1*9.8*5.5=113.19J

The speed of the block is:

v=\sqrt{\frac{2E_{total}-kx_{1}^{2}   }{m} } =\sqrt{\frac{(2*113.19)-(3622.08*0.15^{2} )}{2.1} } =8.31m/s

A box is sitting on the ground and weighs 100 kg and the coefficient of friction is 0.23. Is it easier to push by applying the f
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

-No

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of box = 100 kg

Coefficient of friction ,μ= 0.23

We know that friction force depends on the normal force acts on the box

Fr= μ N

When we pull the box then :

Normal force N= mg

Friction force Fr=  μ mg                  

When we push the box :

Lets take pushing force = F

θ =Angle make by pushing force from the vertical line

Normal force

N = mg + F cosθ

Fr= μ ( mg + F cosθ )

The friction force is more when we push the box.That is why this is not easier to push the box.

Therefore answer is ---No

A sound from a source has an intensity of 270 db when it is 1 m from the source. what is the intensity of the sound when it is 3
Lina20 [59]
Sound intensity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the source and the receiver.
That is 
I = k/r^2
 where
 k = constant
 r = radius

When r=1,  the intensity is I₁ = k/1 = k
When r=3, the intensity I₂ = k/3² = k/9
Therefore
 I₂ = I₁ /9

In decibels,
I = 10 log₁₀(I/I₀)
where I₀ = reference intensity

When r=1,
10 log₁₀ (I₁/I₀) = 270

When r =3,
10 log₁₀ (I₂/I₀) = 10 log₁₀ [(I₂/I₁)*(I₁/I₀)]
                     = 10 log₁₀ [(1/9)*(I₁/I₀)]
                     = 10 log₁₀(1/9) + 270
                     = 260.5

Answer: 260.5 dB (nearest tenth)

The terminal speed of a sky diver is 130 km/h in the spread-eagle position and 326 km/h in the nosedive position. Assuming that
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

\frac{A_{slow} }{A_{fast} }=6.2885

Explanation:

Given data

Terminal velocity for spread eagle position vt=130 km/h

Terminal velocity for nosedive position vt=326 km/h

The terminal speed of the diver is given by

v_{t}=\sqrt{\frac{2mg}{CpA} }

Therefore the area is given by

A=\frac{2mg}{Cp(v_{t})^{2}  }\\

Since everything else is constant in the two dives except for the terminal velocity, the ratio between the area in the slow position to the area in the fast position is

\frac{A_{slow} }{A_{fast} }=\frac{326^{2} }{130^{2} }\\\frac{A_{slow} }{A_{fast} }=6.2885
