Answer:

B. False

Explanation:

According to research by several scientists, Saturn's rings aren't solid, as they appear from Earth.  They are actually made up of floating chunks of water ice, rocks and dust that range in diferent sizes from specks to enormous, even house-sized pieces that orbit Saturn in a ring pattern.

A 2 kg block is pushed against a spring (k = 400 N/m), compressing it 0.3 m. When the block is released, it moves along a fricti
Kitty [74]

Answer:

2.29 \mathrm{m} \text { the block slide if the } \mathrm{u}_{\mathrm{s}}=0.4

4.58 \mathrm{m} \text { the block slide if the } \mathrm{u}_{\mathrm{k}}=0.2

Explanation:

Given values  

Mass (m) = 2kg

K = 400 N/M

Compressing it 0.3 m

<u>The law of conservation of energy</u>:

\frac{m v^{2}}{2}+\frac{k x^{2}}{2}=\text { constant }

\text { Where, } \frac{m v^{2}}{2} \text { is kinetic energy of the block. }

\frac{k \Delta l^{2}}{2} Energy of the spring deformation.

M mass of the block

x spring deformation

Therefore, if block left the spring (x = 0)

\frac{m v^{2}}{2}+0=0+\frac{k \Delta l^{2}}{2}

Where, Δl is initial spring deformation

\frac{m v^{2}}{2}=\frac{k \Delta l^{2}}{2}

\mathrm{v}^{2}=\frac{k \Delta l^{2}}{m}

\mathrm{v}=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m} \times \Delta l^{2}}

v=\sqrt{\frac{400}{2} \times(0.3)^{2}}

\mathrm{v}=\sqrt{200 \times 0.09}

<u>The law of conservation of energy</u>:

\frac{m v^{2}}{2}+m g h=\text { constant }

Where h is height

\frac{m v^{2}}{2}+0=0+m g h

\frac{m v^{2}}{2}=m g h

Cancel mass "m" each side

\mathrm{h}=\frac{v^{2}}{2 g}

Distance along incline equals

\begin{array}{ll}{\text { For friction us }} & {\left(L=\frac{h}{u_{s}}\right)} \\ {\text { For friction } u_{k}} & {\left(L=\frac{h}{u_{k}}\right)}\end{array}

\begin{array}{l}{\mathrm{u}_{\mathrm{s}}=0.4} \\ {\mathrm{U}_{\mathrm{k}}=0.2} \\ {\text { For friction } \mathrm{u}_{\mathrm{s}}}\end{array}

\begin{array}{l}{\mathrm{h}=\frac{v^{2}}{2 g u_{s}}} \\ {\mathrm{L}=\frac{4.24^{2}}{2 \times 9.8 \times 0.4}} \\ {\mathrm{L}=\frac{17.9776}{784}}\end{array}

\begin{array}{l}{L=2.29 \mathrm{m}} \\ {2.29 \mathrm{m} \text { the block slide if the } \mathrm{u}_{5}=0.4} \\ {\text { For friction } \mathrm{u}_{\mathrm{k}}} \\ {\mathrm{L}=\frac{4.24^{2}}{2 \times 9.8 \times 0.2}}\end{array}

\begin{array}{l}{L=\frac{17.9776}{3.92}} \\ {L=4.58 \mathrm{m}} \\ {4.58 \mathrm{m} \text { the block slide if the } \mathrm{u}_{5}=0.4}\end{array}

A gas has an initial volume of 168 cm3 at a temperature of 255 K and a pressure of 1.6 atm. The pressure of the gas decreases to
erastovalidia [21]
Would presume you are asked to find the volume, since there is no second volume.

By General Gas Law:

P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂

1.6 * 168 /255 = 1.3*V₂/285

V₂ = 1.6 * 168 * 285 / (1.3*255)

V₂ = 231.095

Final volume ≈ 231 cm³

The sun is 1.5 × 108 km from Earth. The index of refraction for water is 1.349. How much longer would it take light from the sun
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

175s

Explanation:

time it takes sunlight to reach the earth in  vacuum

C=light speed=299792458m/s

X=1.5x10^8km=1.5x10^11m

c=X/t

T1=X/c

T1=1.5X10^11/299792458=500.34s

time it takes sunlight to reach the earth in  water:

First we calculate the speed of light in water taking into account the refractive index

Cw=299792458m/s/1.349=222233104.5m/s

T2=1.5x10^11/222233104.5m/s=675s

additional time it would take for the light to reach the earth

ΔT=T2-T1=675-500=175s

A ball is dropped from a height of 10m. At the same time, another ball is thrown
soldi70 [24.7K]

5.1 m

Explanation:

Let's set the ground as our reference point. Let's also call the dropped ball to be ball #1 and its height above the ground at any time t is given by

y_1 = 10 - \frac{1}{2}gt^2 (1)

where 10 represents its initial height or displacement of 10 m above the ground. At the same time, the displacement of the second ball with respect to the ground y_2, is given by

y_2 = v_0t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2 (2)

At the instant the two balls collide, they will have the same displacement, therefore

y_1 = y_2 \Rightarrow 10 - \frac{1}{2}gt^2 = v_0t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2

or

v_0t = 10\:\text{m}

Solving for t, we get

t = \dfrac{10\:\text{m}}{v_0} = \dfrac{10\:\text{m}}{10\:\text{m/s}} = 1\:\text{s}

We can use either Eqn(1) or Eqn(2) to hind the height where they collide. Let's use Eqn(1):

y_1 = 10\:\text{m} - \frac{1}{2}(9.8\:\text{m/s}^2)(1\:\text{s})^2

\:\:\:\:\:\:\:= 5.1\:\text{m}
