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

What is the primary force help suspension bridges use cables to hold there spans up
snow_tiger [21]

Explanation:

Suspension bridges, like the Golden Gate Bridge or the Brooklyn Bridge, use tension force as the primary source of force that cables use to hold their spans up. The supporting cables receive the tension forces of the bridge, and this same force passes to the anchorages and into the ground

During a rainy day, as a result of colliding clouds an observer saw lighting and a heard thunder sound. The time between seeing
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

d = 1700 meters

Explanation:

During a rainy day, as a result of colliding clouds an observer saw lighting and a heard thunder sound.  The time between seeing the lighting and hearing the sound was 5 second, t = 5 seconds

Speed of sound, v = 340 m/s (say)

Let d is the distance of the colliding cloud from the observer. The distance covered by the object. It is given by :

d=v\times t

d=340\ m/s\times 5\ s  

d = 1700 meters

So, the distance of the colliding cloud from the observer is 1700 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.

Can the velocity of a body revese the direction when acceleration is constant?
TEA [102]

Answer:

Yes, the velocity of the object can reverse direction when its acceleration is constant. For example consider that the velocity of any object at any time t is given as: ... At At t = 0 sec, the magnitude of velocity is 2m/s and is moving in the forward direction i.e.v (t) = -2.
