You attach a block to the bottom end of a spring hanging vertically. You slowly let the block move down and find that it hangs a

t rest with the spring stretched by 18.0 cm. Next, you lift the block back up and release it from rest with the spring unstretched. What maximum distance does it move down

Answer:36 cm

Explanation:

Given

At Equilibrium extension a is 18 cm

suppose m is the mass of block

thus

ka=mg

k=\frac{mg}{a}

k=\frac{mg}{0.18}

Now if the block is released from un-stretched position

conserving Energy and supposing block moves x units down

\frac{1}{2}kx^2=mgx

x=\frac{2mg}{k}

x=2mg\times \frac{0.18}{mg}

x=0.36 \approx 36 cm

A car is traveling at 50 mi/h when the brakes are fully applied, producing a constant deceleration of 38 ft/s2. what is the dist
e-lub [12.9K]

Convert 38 ft/s^2 to mi/h^2. Then we se the conversion factor > 1 mile = 5280 feet and 1 hour = 3600 seconds.

So now we show it > 38  \frac{ft}{s^2}  x  \frac{1mi}{5280ft} x  \frac{(3600s)^2}{(1h)^2} = 93272.27  \frac{mi}{h^2}

Then we have to use the formula of constant acceleration to determine the distance traveled by the car before it ended up stopping.

Which the formula for constant acceleration would be > v_2^2=v_1^2 + 2as

The initial velocity is 50mi/h (v_1=50)

When it stops the final velocity is (v_2=0)

Since the given is deceleration it means the number we had gotten earlier would be a negative so a = -93272.27

Then we substitute the values in....

0^2 = 50^2 + 2(-93272.27)s

0 = 2500 - 186544.54s

Isolate S next.

185644.54s= 2500

s =  2500/(185644.54)

s=0.0134


So we can say the car stopped at 0.0134 miles before it came to a stop but to express the distance traveled in feet we need to use the conversion factor of 1 mile = 5280 feet in otherwards > 0.0134 mi *  \frac{5280ft}{1mi}  = 70.8 ft
So this means that the car traveled in feet 70.8 ft before it came to a stop.

The trade winds are tropical winds that blow toward the Equator. Choose the statement that best explains why the trade winds blo
AveGali [126]

The best and most correct answer among the choices provided by your question is the fourth option or letter D. Trade winds blow towards the equator because t<span>he Equator receives the most heat energy.

</span>The surface air that flows from these subtropical high-pressure belts toward the Equator is deflected toward the west in both hemispheres by the Coriolis effect. These winds blow<span> predominantly from the northeast in the Northern Hemisphere and from the southeast in the Southern Hemisphere.

I hope my answer has come to your help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly.

Refractive index of water is 1.3. calculate the speed of light in water.​
wolverine [178]

Answer:

The speed of light is faster in water. The Refractive index of water is 1.3 and the refractive index of glass is 1.5. From the equation n = c/v, we know that the refractive index of a medium is inversely proportional to the velocity of light in that medium. Hence, light travels faster in water.
