the earth moves throughout the year such as rotate around the sun, so yes the it does move and it sits roughly at 93.048 million miles away from the sun. I hope this helps you out! :)

Why is the SI system a consistent system?

Goryan [66]

S.I. System is same for all countries, so if any Scientist uses it, then another Scientist from any place around the world can figure it out, that what is he saying, how exactly is the magnitude of the object. That's why it is a Consistent system

Hope this helps!

During a rockslide, a 670 kg rock slides from rest down a hillside that is 740 m along the slope and 240 m high. The coefficient

ElenaW [278]

a) $1.58\cdot 10^6 J$

b) $1.15\cdot 10^6 J$

c) $0.43\cdot 10^6 J$

d) 35.8 m/s

Explanation:

a)

The gravitational potential energy of an object is the energy possessed by the object due to its location with respect to the ground.

It is given by:

$U=mgh$

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height of the object, relative to a reference level

Here, the reference level is taken at the bottom of the hill (where the potential energy is zero).

So, we have:

m = 670 kg is the mass of the rock

$g=9.8 m/s^2$

h = 240 m is the initial height of the rock

So, the potential energy of the rock just before the slide is

$U=(670)(9.8)(240)=1.58\cdot 10^6 J$

b)

The energy transferred to thermal energy during the slide is equal to the work done by friction, which is:

$W=F_f d$

where

$F_f$ is the force of friction

d = 740 m is the displacement of the rock along the ramp

The force of friction is given by:

$F_f=-\mu mg cos \theta$

where

$\mu=0.25$ is the coefficient of friction

m = 670 kg is the mass of the rock

$\theta$ is the angle of the ramp

Since we know the lenght of the ramp (d = 740 m) and the height (h = 240 m), we can find the angle:

$\theta=sin^{-1}(\frac{h}{d})=sin^{-1}(\frac{240}{740})=18.9^{\circ}$

Therefore, the work done by friction is:

$W=-\mu m g cos \theta d =-(0.25)(670)(9.8)(cos 18.9^{\circ})(740)=-1.15\cdot 10^6 J$

So, the energy transferred to thermal energy is $1.15\cdot 10^6 J$ .

c)

According to the law of conservation of energy, the kinetic energy of the rock as it reaches the bottom of the hill will be equal to the initial potential energy (at the top) minus the energy transformed into thermal energy.

Therefore, we have:

$K_f = U_i -E_t$

where here we have:

$U_i=1.58\cdot 10^6 J$ is the potential energy of the rock at the top of the hill

$E_t=1.15\cdot 10^6 J$ is the energy converted into thermal energy

Substituting, we find

$K_f=1.58\cdot 10^6-1.15\cdot 10^6=0.43\cdot 10^6 J$

So, this is the kinetic energy of the rock at the bottom of the hill.

d)

The kinetic energy of the rock at the bottom of the hill can be rewritten as

$K_f=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where

m is the mass of the rock

v is its final speed

In this problem, we have:

$K_f=0.43\cdot 10^6 J$ is the final kinetic energy of the hill

m = 670 kg is the mass of the rock

Therefore, the final speed of the rock is:

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2K_f}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(0.43\cdot 10^6)}{670}}=35.8 m/s$

F=K*X,
F=M*a

M*a=K*X

2.5*9.81=K*0.0276

24.525=K*0.0276

24.525/0.0276=K

K= 888.6 N/m ---- force constant

assuming 2.5 refers to the new extension, just divide F/ 0.025
to get

981N/m
