Two carts connected by a 0.05 m spring hit a wall, compressing the spring to 0.02 m. The spring constant k is
vivado [14]

Answer:

0.045 J

Explanation:

From the question,

The elastic potential energy stored in a spring is given as,

E = 1/2ke²...................... Equation 1

Where E = elastic potential energy, k = spring constant, e = compression.

Given: k = 100 N/m, e = 0.05-0.02 = 0.03 m

Substitute these values into equation 1

E = 1/2(100)(0.03²)

E = 50(9×10⁻⁴)

E = 0.045 J

Hence the right option is 0.045 J

A car slows down uniformly from a speed of 30.0 m/s to rest in 7.20 s
Ede4ka [16]

When acceleration is constant, the average velocity is given by

\bar v=\dfrac{v+v_0}2

where v and v_0 are the final and initial velocities, respectively. By definition, we also have that the average velocity is given by

\bar v=\dfrac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}=\dfrac{x-x_0}{t-t_0}

where x,x_0 are the final/initial displacements, and t,t_0 are the final/initial times, respectively.

Take the car's starting position to be at t_0=0\,\mathrm s. Then

\dfrac{v+v_0}2=\dfrac{x-x_0}t\implies x=x_0+\dfrac12(v+v_0)t

So we have

x=0\,\mathrm m+\dfrac12\left(0\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}+30.0\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)(7.20\,\mathrm s)=108\,\mathrm m

You also could have first found the acceleration using the equation

v=v_0+at

then solve for x via

x=x_0+v_0t+\dfrac12at^2

but that would have involved a bit more work, and it turns out we didn't need to know the precise value of a anyway.

Police radar equipment is used to detect the speed of objects. In one trial, the radar equipment records a stationary tree as tr
Brut [27]

Answer:

reliability

accuracy

Explanation:

If a reading of a measurement is consistently the same then the measurement is reliable.

If a reading of measurement is close the actual value of the measurement then the reading is accurate.

Here, a stationary tree shows reading 6 mph once and 0 mph another instant. So, neither the reading of a measurement is consistent not the reading of measurement is close the actual value.

Hence, the radar has problems in its reliability and accuracy

A girl is out jogging at 2.00 m/s and accelerates at 1.50 m/s^2 until she reaches a velocity of 5.00 m/s. How far does she get?
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

7.00 m

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 2.00 m/s

v = 5.00 m/s

a = 1.50 m/s²

Find: Δx

v² = v₀² + 2aΔx

(5.00 m/s)² = (2.00 m/s)² + 2(1.50 m/s²)Δx

Δx = 7.00 m
