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 force of 40 N accelerates a 5 block at 6 m/s ^ 2 along a horizontal surface a. What would the block's acceleration be if the s
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

a = 8 m/s^2, Ffriction = 10 N, μk = 0.205

Explanation:

a. Force = Mass*Acceleration,

(since you didn't add the units..."5 block"....for the mass, I will assume it to be in kg, per SI units)

40 N = 5 kg*acceleration,

a = 40/5 = 8 m/s^2

b. As you know newtons second law (F=m*a) is actually in the form Fnet = m*a. Which means that if the friction force comes into play, it would be Fapplied - Ffriction = m*a.

Fapplied - Ffriction = m*a,

40 - Ffriction = 5*6,

40 - Ffriction = 30,

Ffriction = 40 - 30 = 10 N

c. The coefficient of kinetic friction is calculated by the formula "Ffriction = μk*Fnormal".

10 = μk*Fnormal (Fnormal = m*g = 5*9.8)

10 = μk*49,

μk=10/49 ≈ 0.205

When you cook a marshmallow on a metal poker tool over an open flame, energy is transferred. Identify the three different ways t
ss7ja [257]

When we cook a marshmallow on a metal poker tool over an open flame, there are three ways in which heat energy is transferred: Conduction, convection, and radiation.

<h3>Heat energy transfer</h3>

Heat transfer is the natural transfer of heat from an object with a higher temperature to an object with a lower temperature. Heat transfer can occur in three ways, namely conduction, convection, and  radiation.

  1. Conduction occurs when heat flows from a place with a high temperature to a place with a lower temperature using a fixed heat-conducting medium. Heat transfer from the open flame to the marshmallows via direct fire contact with the marshmallows is an example of conduction.
  2. Convection is the transfer of heat by means of a stream in which the intermediate substance also moves. If the particles move and cause heat to propagate, convection will occur. The hot air rising from the flames burning the marshmallows is an example of convection.
  3. Radiation is heat transfer without a medium. Radiation can also usually be accompanied by light. The direct transfer of heat from the flame to the marshmallow in the form of waves is an example of radiation.

How does increased pressure result in the formation of a mineral?
drek231 [11]
The best answer is 
A) <span>The atoms in the mineral get rearranged

Over time, and under great pressure, the atoms of a substance can become rearranged, forming a new substance. For example, the intense pressure that carbon underground experiences, perhaps in the form of coal, can rearrange the atoms of the substance to create a diamond. </span>
