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)

A hiker starts at point P and walks 2.0 km due east and then walks at an angle of 30 degrees north of east for 1.4 km.
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

The magnitude of the hiker’s displacement is 2.96 km

Explanation:

Let the initial displacement of the hiker, = x = 2km

the final displacement of the hiker, = y = 1.4 km

The resultant of the two vectors, According to Pythagorean theorem is the vector sum of the two vectors.

R' = x' + y'

Does this look like a good circuit diagram?
AnnyKZ [126]

It's hard to tell what's going on down there in the corner with the resistor and the ammeter. There seems to be as many as 3 or 4 wires in and out of the ammeter, which would be wrong. A real ammeter only has two ... one in and one out. (Same for a resistor.)

It's hard to say whether this circuit works, until we can clearly understand how everything is hooked up in that corner of the drawing.

What is the smallest radius of an unbanked (flat) track around which a bicyclist can travel if her speed is 29.5 km/h and the μs
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

Radius=15.773 m

Explanation:

Given data

v=29.5 km/h=8.2 m/s

μs=0.435

To find

Radius R

Solution

The acceleration is a centripetal acceleration  which is experienced by the bicycle given by

a=v^{2}/R

This acceleration is only due to static force which given as

f=ma\\f=m(v^{2}/R )

The maximum value of the static force is given as

Fs_{max}=u_{s}F_{N}

where

FN is normal force equal to mass*gravity

Therefore when the car is on the verge of sliding

f=fs_{max}\\ m(v^{2}/R )=u_{s}mg

Therefore the minimum radius should be found by the bicycle move without  sliding

So

v^{2}/R=u_{s}g\\  R=v^{2}/u_{s}g\\R=(8.2)^{2}/(0.435*9.8)\\R=15.773m
