Consider the system consisting of the box and the spring, but not Earth. How does the energy of the system when the spring is fu
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

the energy when it reaches the ground is equal to the energy when the spring is compressed.

Explanation:

For this comparison let's use the conservation of energy theorem.

Starting point. Compressed spring

         Em₀ = K_e = ½ k x²

Final point. When the box hits the ground

         Em_f = K = ½ m v²

since friction is zero, energy is conserved

          Em₀ = Em_f

          1 / 2k x² = ½ m v²

          v = \sqrt{ \frac{k}{m} }     x

Therefore, the energy when it reaches the ground is equal to the energy when the spring is compressed.

If the earth's rotation axis was tilted by 45 degrees instead of 23.5 degrees, how would that affect the climate of the earth? w
Crank
Changing the tilt of the axis from 23 degrees to 45 degrees would dramatically change the seasons. They would be more extreme. Increasing the tilt angle means a larger section of the earth would experience one season for a longer period. There would be longer and colder winters and likewise hotter and longer summers.
