Initially sliding with a speed of 1.9 m/s, a 1.8 kg block collides with a spring and compresses it 0.35 m before coming to rest.

what is the force constant of the spring?

Let k =  the force constant of the spring (N/m).

The strain energy (SE) stored in the spring when it is compressed by a distance x=0.35 m is
SE = (1/2)*k*x²
     = 0.5*(k N/m)*(0.35 m)²
     = 0.06125k J

The KE (kinetic energy) of the sliding block is
KE = (1/2)*mass*velocity²
     = 0.5*(1.8 kg)*(1.9 m/s)²
     = 3.249 J

Assume that negligible energy is lost when KE is converted into SE.
Therefore
0.06125k = 3.249
k = 53.04 N/m

Answer:  53 N/m  (nearest integer)

Determine a formula for the acceleration of the system in terms of mA, mB, θ, and g. Ignore the mass of the cord and pulley. Exp
jekas [21]

Answer:

a=\frac{mBg-mAgSin\theta}{mA+mB}

Explanation:

Given two mass on an incline code mA and mB and an angle of inclination \theta. g. Assume that mA is the weight being pulled up and mB the hanging weight.

-The equations of motion from Newton's Second Law are:

mBg-T=mBa where a is the acceleration.

#Substituting for T (tension) gives:

mBg-mAsin\theta-mAa=mBa

#and solving for a:

a=\frac{mBg-mAgSin\theta}{mA+mB} which is the system's acceleration.

What are the two ways to create plasma?
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

Plasma can be artificially generated by heating a neutral gas or subjecting it to a strong electromagnetic field to the point where an ionized gaseous substance becomes increasingly electrically conductive.

A woman and her dog are out for a morning run to the river, which is located 4.0 KM away. The woman runs at 2.5 M/S in a straigh
VLD [36.1K]

River shore is located at distance

d = 4 km

speed of the woman is given as

v_1 = 2.5 m/s

now the time taken by the woman to cover the distance is

t = \frac{d}{v}

t = \frac{4000}{2.5} = 1600 s

for the same time interval the dog will run to and fro with speed 4.5 m/s

so the total distance moved by the dog is given by

d = v* t

d = 4.5 * 1600

d = 7200 m

<em>so the total distance that dog will move is 7200 m or 7.2 km</em>
