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

morpeh [17]

Answer:

I think its B

Explanation:

because "This means that when you rubbed the plastic comb along your hair, your hair resisted the movement of the comb and slowed it down. The friction between two surfaces can cause electrons to be transferred from one surface to the other."

Water from a vertical pipe emerges as a 10-cm-diameter cylinder and falls straight down 7.5 m into a bucket. The water exits the
cupoosta [38]

The diameter of the column of the water as it hits the bucket is 4.04 cm

The equation of continuity occurs in the fluid system and it asserts that the inflow and the outflow of the volume rate at the inlet and at the outlet of the system are equal.

By using the kinematics equation to determine the speed of the water in the bucket and applying the equation of continuity to estimate the diameter of the column, we have the following;

Using the kinematics equation:

\mathbf{v_f ^2 = v_i^2 + 2gh}

\mathbf{v_f ^2 =(2.0)^2 + 2\times 9.8 \times 7.5}

\mathbf{v_f ^2 =151 m/s}

\mathbf{v_f  =\sqrt{151 m/s}}

\mathbf{v_f  =12.29 \ m/s}  

From the equation of continuity:

\mathbf{A_iV_i = A_fV_f}

\mathbf{\pi r^2_iV_i = \pi r^2_fV_f}

\mathbf{ r^2_iV_i =  r^2_fV_f}

\mathbf{ (\dfrac{10}{2})^2\times 2.0 =  r_f^2 \times 12.29}

\mathbf{ 50 = 12.29 \times r_f^2}

\mathbf{ r_f=  \sqrt{\dfrac{50}{12.29} }}

\mathbf{ V_f= 2.02 \ cm }

Since diameter = 2r;

∴

The diameter of the column of the water is:

= 2(2.02) cm

= 4.04 cm

Explain what is meant by “field” and compare the properties of gravitational, electric, and magnetic forces in terms of particle
Tema [17]
A field is the description of a spatial region, the force exerted on objects by a field is a field force. 
gravitational force field: surrounds every material object, although only objects planet-sized or larger exert significant gravity.
electric force field: surrounds and affect electrical charges
magnetic force field: surround magnets and materials with electricity flowing through them. magnetic fields affect susceptible materials such as iron or other magnets.
