A 500 kg block is attached to a horizontal spring that is at its equilibrium length, and whose force constant is 30 N/m. The blo

ck rests on a frictionless surface. A 600 kg wad of putty is thrown horizontally at the block, hitting it with a speed of 4.4 m/s and sticking. How far does the putty-block system compress the spring?

Answer:

x = 0.396 m

Explanation:

The best way to solve this problem is to divide it into two parts: one for the clash of the putty with the block and another when the system (putty + block) compresses it is   spring

Data the putty has a mass m1 and velocity vo1, the block has a mass m2 .  t's start using the moment to find the system speed.

Let's form a system consisting of putty and block; For this system the forces during the crash are internal and the moment is preserved. Let's write the moment before the crash

    p₀ = m1 v₀₁

Moment after shock

    p_{f} = (m1 + m2) v_{f}

   p₀ = p_{f}

   m1 v₀₁ = (m1 + m2) v_{f}

  v_{f} = v₀₁ m1 / (m1 + m2)

   v_{f}= 4.4 600 / (600 + 500)

  v_{f} = 2.4 m / s

With this speed the putty + block system compresses the spring, let's use energy conservation for this second part, write the mechanical energy before and after compressing the spring

Before compressing the spring

   Em₀ = K = ½ (m1 + m2) v_{f}²

After compressing the spring

   E_{mf} = Ke = ½ k x²

As there is no rubbing the energy is conserved

   Em₀ = E_{mf}

   ½ (m1 + m2) v_{f}² = = ½ k x²

   x = v_{f} √ (k / (m1 + m2))

   x = 2.4 √ (11/3000)

   x = 0.396 m

What volume (in liters) of gasoline has a total heat of combustion equal to the energy obtained in part (a)? (see section 17.6;
antiseptic1488 [7]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

volume = 6.3 × 10^-2 L

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

Volume = mass/density

Mass = 0.0565 Kg,

Density = 900 kg/m³

             = 0.0565 kg/ 900 kg /m³

             = 6.3 × 10^-5 M³

but; 1000 L = 1 m³

Hence, <u>volume = 6.3 × 10^-2 L</u>

The near point of an eye is 56.0 cm. A corrective lens is to be used to allow this eye to focus clearly on objects at the distan
irakobra [83]

Answer:

Explanation:

Near point = 56 cm .

near point of healthy person = 25 cm

person suffers from long sightedness

convex lens will be required .

object distance u  = 25 cm

image distance   v = 56 cm

both will be negative as both are in front of the lens.

lens formula

I/v - 1 / u = 1/f

- 1/56 +1/25 = 1/f

- .01785 + .04 = 1/f

1/f  = .02215

f = 45.15 cm .

Why is fusion important?
Sonja [21]

Abundant energy: Fusing atoms together in a controlled way releases nearly four million times more energy than a chemical reaction such as the burning of coal, oil or gas and four times as much as nuclear fission reactions (at equal mass)

timofeeve [1]
The correct answer is "C". 'Old theories are adjusted to incorporate all old new information.' This makes the most sense, regarded the old and new information should be taken into consideration.

I hope this helped you!
