Answer:

x = 0.12 m

Explanation:

Let k be the spring force constant , x be the compression displacement of the spring and v be the speed of the box.

when the box encounters the spring, all the energy of the box is kinetic energy:

the energy relationship between the box and the spring is given by:

1/2(m)×(v^2) = 1/2(k)×(x^2)

    (m)×(v^2) = (k)×(x^2)

             x^2 = [(m)(v^2)]/k

                 x =  \sqrt{ [(m)(v^2)]/k}

                 x = \sqrt{ [(0.299)((1.44)^2)]/(44.9)}

                 x = 0.12 m

Therefore, the mass will travel 0.12 m and come to rest.

                    = 0.491 m/s

Which of the following statements are true? Check all that apply.
lidiya [134]

We have 6 levels and we will verify which of them is true.

<em>A ) Electric charge is conserved </em>

According to the conservation of charge, an electric charge can neither be created nor be destroyed.

Therefore this statement is TRUE.

<em>B ) A positive charge and negative charge attract each other</em>

According to the properties of charges, the opposite charges attract each other and similar charges repel each other

Therefore this statement is  TRUE

<em>C) Two positive charges attract each other.</em>

Using the previous law, we can observe that this statement is false, because equal charges repel each other.

Therefore this statement is FALSE.

<em>D ) Two negative charges repel each other.</em>

Using the same principle as the two previous statements, two equal charges repel each other.

Therefore this statement is TRUE

<em>E) Electric charge is quantized.</em>

According to the quantization of charge, charges can take values only in integral multiples of a fundamental unit of charge.

Therefore this statement is TRUE.

<em>F) A neutral object contains no charge.</em>

A neutral object contains equal amount of negative and positive charge. Thus, in totality a neutral object contains no charge.

Therefore this statement is TRUE.

How much heat energy (in megajoules) is needed to convert 7 kg of ice at -9°C C to water at 0°C?
Molodets [167]

Answer:

hence option A is correct

Explanation:

heat required from -9°C to 0°C ice = mass × specific heat of ice ×change in temperature

heat required from -9°C to 0°C ice = 7×2100×9 =132300 J =0.1323 MJ

( HERE SPECIFIC HEAT OF ICE IS A CONSTANT VALUE OF 2100

J/(kg °C )

heat required from  0°C ice to 0°C water = mass× specific heat of fusion of ice

                                                             = 7×3.36×10^5

                                                              = 2.352 × 10^6 J

                                                              = 2.352 MJ

TOTAL HEAT ENERGY REQUIRED = 0.1323 MJ +2.352 MJ

                                                          = 2.4843 MJ

hence option A is correct

The intensity I of light varies inversely as the square of the distance D from the source. If the intensity of illumination on a
emmasim [6.3K]

The intensity on a screen 20 ft from the light will be 0.125-foot candles.

<h3>What is the distance?</h3>

Distance is a numerical representation of the length between two objects or locations.

The intensity I of light varies inversely as the square of the distance D from the source;

I∝(1/D²)

The ratio of the intensity of the two cases;

\rm \frac{I_1}{I_2} =(\frac{D_2}{D_1} )^2\\\\ \rm \frac{2}{I_2} =(\frac{20}{5} )^2\\\\ \frac{2}{I_2} =4^2 \\\\ I_2= \frac{2}{16} \\\\  I_2= 0.125 \ foot-candles

Hence, the intensity on a screen 20 ft from the light will be 0.125 foot-candles
