What is the coldest place on earth

exis [7]

The continent of Antartica is located at the bottom of the world. the South Pole is at its center. Antarctica is the coldest and windiest place on earth. It is covered with ice up to 3 miles thick. Very few plants and animals can survive here, but penguins, fish, and seals live on the coast and in the seas. No people live on Antarctica permanently, but scientists and tourists visit.

A light horizontal spring has a spring constant of 138 N/m. A 3.35 kg block is pressed against one end of the spring, compressin

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

$U_k = 0.113$

Explanation:

using the law of the conservation of energy:

$E_i -E_f=W_f$

$\frac{1}{2}Kx^2=NU_kd$

where K is the spring constant, x is the spring compression, N is the normal force of the block, $U_k$ is the coefficiet of kinetic friction and d is the distance.

Also, by laws of newton, N is calculated by:

N = mg

N = 3.35 kg * 9.81 m/s

N = 32.8635

So, Replacing values on the first equation, we get:

$\frac{1}{2}(138)(0.123)^2= (32.8635)U_k(0.281m)$

solving for $U_k$ :

$U_k = 0.113$

Because the light from it travels to you about 874 thousand times
as fast as the sound does, so the hearing part falls behind the seeing

(a) According to Hooke's Law, the force required to hold any spring stretched x meters beyond its natural length is f(x)=kx. Sup

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

a) The work required to stretch the spring from 20 centimeters to 25 centimeters is 0.313 joules, b) The area of the region enclosed by one loop of the curve $r(\theta) = 2\cdot \sin 5\theta$ is $4\pi$ .

Explanation:

a) The work, measured in joules, is a physical variable represented by the following integral:

$W = \int\limits^{x_{f}}_{x_{o}} {F(x)} \, dx$

Where

$x_{o}$ , $x_{f}$ - Initial and final position, respectively, measured in meters.

$F(x)$ - Force as a function of position, measured in newtons.

Given that $F = k\cdot x$ and the fact that $F = 25\,N$ when $x = 0.3\,m - 0.2\,m$ , the spring constant ( $k$ ), measured in newtons per meter, is:

$k = \frac{F}{x}$

$k = \frac{25\,N}{0.3\,m-0.2\,m}$

$k = 250\,\frac{N}{m}$

Now, the work function is obtained:

$W = \left(250\,\frac{N}{m} \right)\int\limits^{0.05\,m}_{0\,m} {x} \, dx$

$W = \frac{1}{2}\cdot \left(250\,\frac{N}{m} \right)\cdot [(0.05\,m)^{2}-(0.00\,m)^{2}]$

$W = 0.313\,J$

The work required to stretch the spring from 20 centimeters to 25 centimeters is 0.313 joules.

b) Let be $r(\theta) = 2\cdot \sin 5\theta$ . The area of the region enclosed by one loop of the curve is given by the following integral:

$A = \int\limits^{2\pi}_0 {[r(\theta)]^{2}} \, d\theta$

$A = 4\int\limits^{2\pi}_{0} {\sin^{2}5\theta} \, d\theta$

By using trigonometrical identities, the integral is further simplified:

$A = 4\int\limits^{2\pi}_{0} {\frac{1-\cos 10\theta}{2} } \, d\theta$

$A = 2 \int\limits^{2\pi}_{0} {(1-\cos 10\theta)} \, d\theta$

$A = 2\int\limits^{2\pi}_{0}\, d\theta - 2\int\limits^{2\pi}_{0} {\cos10\theta} \, d\theta$

$A = 2\cdot (2\pi - 0) - \frac{1}{5}\cdot (\sin 20\pi-\sin 0)$

$A = 4\pi$

The area of the region enclosed by one loop of the curve $r(\theta) = 2\cdot \sin 5\theta$ is $4\pi$ .

A 20-Kg child is on a swing attached to 3.0 m-long chains. The child swings back and forth, swinging out to a 60-degree angle. (

kvv77 [185]

Answer:

v = 29.4 m / s

Explanation:

For this exercise we can use the conservation of mechanical energy

Lowest starting point.

Em₀ = K = ½ m v²

final point. Higher

$Em_{f}$ = U = m g h

Let's use trigonometry to lock her up

cos 60 = y / L

y = L cos 60

Height is the initial length minus the length at the maximum angle

h = L - L cos 60

h = L (1- cos 60)

energy is conserved

Em₀ = Em_{f}

½ m v² = mgL (1 - cos 60)

v = 2g L (1- cos 60)

let's calculate

v² = 2 9.8 3.0 (1- cos 60)

v = 29.4 m / s
