Answer:

v = 0.489 m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of a box, m = 1.5 kg

The compression in the spring, x = 6.5 cm = 0.065 m

Let the spring constant of the spring is 85 N/m

We need to find the velocity of the box (v) when it hit the spring. It is based on the conservation of energy. The kinetic energy of spring before collision is equal to the spring energy after compression i.e.

\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{kx^2}{m}} \\\\v=\sqrt{\dfrac{85\times (0.065)^2}{1.5}} \\\\v=0.489\ m/s

So, the speed of the box is 0.489 m/s.

A ball of moist clay falls 17.3 m to the ground. It is in contact with the ground for 24.0 ms before stopping. (a) What is the a
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

Acceleration,  767.08\ m/s^2

Explanation:

Given that,

Height from a ball falls the ground, h = 17.3 m

It is in contact with the ground for 24.0 ms before stopping.

We need to find the average acceleration the ball during the time it is in contact with the ground.

Firstly, find the velocity when it reached the ground. So,

v^2=u^2+2ah

u = initial velocity=0 m/s

a = acceleration=g

v=\sqrt{2gh} \\\\v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 17.3} \\\\v=18.41\ m/s

It is in negative direction, u = -18.41 m/s

Let a is average acceleration of the ball. Consider, v = and u = -18.41 m/s.

a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}\\\\a=\dfrac{0-18.41}{24\times 10^{-3}}\\\\a=767.08\ m/s^2

So, the average acceleration of the ball during the time it is in contact is 767.08\ m/s^2.

Which of the following statements about comets is true? A. Comets rarely fall into an orbit around the Sun. They usually enter t
GREYUIT [131]
<h2>Right answer: Comets have very elliptical orbits that usually take them far beyond the orbit of Pluto, but also take them closer to the Sun than Earth</h2>

Comets are celestial bodies constituted by ice, dust and rocks that orbit around the Sun, after having been altered by the Oort cloud; following different trajectories that can be <u>highly eccentric elliptical</u><u> </u>(periodic trajectories), parabolic or hyperbolic.

One of the main characteristics of a comet is that it travels quite fast, on its way around the Sun and has a long tail. It should be noted that the tails of comets always go in the opposite direction to the Sun (due to the radiation pressure of sunlight).

Therefore, the correct option is C.
