The spring, initially at rest, was compressed by the blue box by 0.15 m. The spring constant of the spring is 300 N/m. The mass

of the box was 0.2 kg. What is the max height of the box when it comes to rest on the ramp

Answer:

1.72m

Explanation:

Step 1:

Data obtained from the question.

Displacement (x) = 0.15 m

Spring constant (K) = 300 N/m

Mass (m) = 0.2 kg

Height (h) =?

Step 2:

Determination of the energy in the spring.

The energy is a spring can be obtained by the following equation:

E = 1/2 kx^2

E = 1/2 x 300 x 0.15^2

E = 150 x 0.0225

E = 3.375J

Step 3:

Determination of the maximum height.

At maximum height, the energy stored is the spring is equal to the potential energy i.e

Energy stored in the string = potential energy

E = P.E

Recall:

Potential energy = mgh

Where:

m is the mass = 0.2kg

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s2

h is the height. =?

Potential energy (P.E) = 3.375J

PE = mgh

3.375 = 0.2 x 9.8 x h

Divide both side by 0.2 x 9.8

h = 3.375/ (0.2 x 9.8)

h = 1.72m

Therefore, the maximum height of the box is 1.72m

The speed of light in a vacuum is 299,792,458 m/s. Which gives this number in three significant digits? 299,000,000. m/s 2.99 x

dexar [7]

Answer: $2.99(10)^{-8} m/s$

Explanation:

When a number is written in scientific notation (representing the number using powers of base ten) it is expressed so that it contains a digit in the place of the units and all other digits after the decimal point, multiplied by the respective exponent.

Then, the significant figures (or significant digits) will be the digits that are before the power of ten.

Now, in the case of the number 299,792,458 if we want to write it with three significant digits, we have to write it in scientific notation as:

$2.99(10)^{-8}$

Which of the following statements is true of chords? Select all that apply.

tankabanditka [31]

All of those are true, except the one about the radius.

Both ends of a chord have to be on the circle, but one end
of a radius is at the center, so a radius can't be a chord.

A helicopter flies 168 miles against the wind in 2 hours; with the wind, it can fly 252 miles in the same amount of time. find t

posledela

Let $v_h$ be the speed of the helicopter in still air. Let $v_w$ be the speed of the wind. Then, from the given information,

$(v_h-v_w)2=168\\ (v_h+v_w)2=252\\$

Adding the above 2 equations,

$4v_h=168+252\\ 4v_h=420\\ v_h=105$

The speed of the helicopter in still air $105 \;mi/hour$

The diameter of a baseball is 7.4 cm and its mass is 0.15 kg. a) If a pitcher throws the baseball at a velocity of 44.3 m/s (100

Tema [17]

Answer:

drag force $F_D = 1.5 \ N$

Velocity (V) = 40.169 m/s

Explanation:

The drag force $F_D$ is given by the formula:

$F_D = C_D * \frac{1}{2}* \rho * V^2*A$

where:

$C_D$ = drag coefficient depending on the Reynolds number

Reynolds number Re = $\frac{\rho *V*D}{ \mu}$

Let's Assume that the air is in room temperature at 25 °C ; Then

density of the air $\rho$ = 1.1845 kg/m³

viscosity of fluid or air $\mu$ = 1.844 × 10⁻⁵ kg/ms

diameter of the baseball D = 7.4 cm

Velocity V = 44.3 m/s

Replacing them into the equation of Reynolds number ; we have :

$Re = \frac{1.1845 \ kg/m^3*44.3 m/s*0.074 m}{1.844*10^{-5}kg/ms}\\\\Re = 2.1*10^5$

A = Projected Area

From the diagram attached below which is gotten from NASA for baseball;

the drag coefficient which depends on Reynolds number is read as:

$C_D$ = 0.3

Projected Area A = $\frac{\pi D^2}{4}$

A = $\frac{\pi 0.074^2}{4}$

A = 0.0043 m²

Finally, drag force is then calculated as ;

$F_D = C_D * \frac{1}{2}* \rho*V^2*A\\\\F_D = 0.3* \frac{1}{2}*1.1845 \ kg/m^3*(44.3 \ m/s) ^2*0.0043 m^2\\\\F_D = 1.5 \ N$

b)

$- F_D = ma$

since acceleration a = $\frac{dV}{dt}$

Then;

$-F_D = m \frac{dV}{dt}$

Also;

velocity (V) = $\frac{dx}{dt}$

Then;

$- F_D = \frac{md_2x}{dt^2}$

$\frac{d_2x}{dt^2} = \frac {- F_D}{m}$

$F_D = 1.5 \ N\\m = 0.15 \ kg$

Then;

$\frac{d_2x}{dt^2} = \frac {- 1.5 }{0.15}$

$\frac{d_2x}{dt^2} =- 10$

Integrating the above equation ; we have :

$\frac{dx}{dt}= - 10 t + C\\$

when time (t) = 0 ; then $\frac{dx}{dt}= V = 44.3$

44.3 = - 10 × 0 + C

C = 44.3

$\frac{dx}{dt}= V = -10 t + 44.3$

Time (t) =

$\frac{distance }{velocity} \\\\= \frac{18.3 m}{44.3 m/s}\\\\= 0.413 s$

∴ Velocity ; $\frac{dx}{dt}= V = - 10t +44.3$

$\frac{dx}{dt}= V = - 10(0.413 s) +44.3$

Velocity (V) = 40.169 m/s
