A 0.299 kg mass slides on a frictionless floor with a speed of 1.44 m/s. The mass strikes and compresses a spring with a force c

onstant of 44.9 N/m. How far does the mass travel after contacting the spring before it comes to rest?

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

The car should have less kinetic energy.
They are both going the same speed, but the truck is bigger and heavier. The more mass an object has, the more kinetic energy it has. There is more mass being moved, so it makes more kinetic energy. The car does not have as much mass, so it makes less kinetic energy compared to the truck.

Good luck with the rest of your test or quiz :)

a student standing between two walls shouts once.he hears the first echo after 3 seconds and the next after 5 seconds. calculate
Karolina [17]

Explanation:

It took t_1 =1.5\:\text{s} for the sound to reach the 1st wall and at the same time time, the same sound took t_2 = 2.5\:\text{s} to reach the 2nd wall. Assuming that the sound travels at 343 m/s, then let x_1 be the distance of the person to the 1st wall and x_2 be the distance to the 2nd wall. So the distance between the walls X is

X = x_1 + x_2 = v_st_1 + v_st_2 = v_s(t_1 + t_2)

\:\:\:\:\:= (343\:\text{m/s})(4.0\:\text{s}) = 1372\:\text{m}

An object moves 4 meters north, then 3 meters east. What is the displacement of the object?
Lady bird [3.3K]

The displacement of the object that moved 4 meters north, then 3 meters east is 5 meters.

<h3>What is displacement?</h3>

Displacement is change in the position of an object. It can be described as the shortest distance between the initial and final position of an object.

The displacement of the object is calculated as follows;

d² = 4² + 3²

d² = 25

d = 5 m

Thus, the displacement of the object that moved 4 meters north, then 3 meters east is 5 meters.

What would an automobile engineer MOST LIKELY suggest to improve the efficiency of a car's engine? A) Remove the engine's coolin
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

D) Reduce the internal friction of the engine's parts.

Explanation:

To increase the efficiency of the car's engine, an engineer most like has to reduce the friction within the internal engine parts. Reducing these friction reduces the useful energy lost as heat in these internal parts of the engine, when the engine parts do work against friction to move. In most everyday activities, engines and machines, energy is usually lost as heat due to frictional forces arising from two or more surfaces in contact.

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

Technician A is correct while Technician B is incorrect.

Explanation:

If Technician a says that that both slip rings must be insulated from the rotor shaft, then, technician a is correct.

If technician b says that at least one slip ring must be grounded to the shaft to provide a complete circuit for current flow, this statement is incorrect because each slip ring must be connected to one of the three phases of rotor windings. And the slip ring brushes are connected to a resistive device ( like a rheostat). When the slip rings turn with the rotor, the brushes will maintain constant contact with the rings and transfer the resistance to the rotor windings. Therefore, Technician A is correct while Technician B is incorrect.
