A block of mass 0.08 kg is pushed against a spring with spring constant k=31 N/m. The spring is compressed 0.15 meters from its

natural length. The block is released and it slides along a surface with coefficient of friction 0.4. How far does the block travel from the point at which is is released?

Answer:

1.11 meters

Explanation:

As the spring is compressed, elastic potential energy is built up in the spring. The total elastic potential energy can be found using the following formula

Ep = 1/2 x k x s²          

where k = 31 N/m  (spring constant)

s = 0.15 m  (compression)

Ep = 3.4875 J

When the block of mass is released, the elastic potential energy (Ep) is converted to kinetic energy (Ek). From this we can find the initial velocity of the mass of block after release

Ek = 1/2 x m x u²    

   

where Ek = Ep = 3.4875J

m = 0.08 kg  (mass of block)

u = unknown (initial velocity)

u = 2.9526 m/s

Now that we know the initial velocity we need to find the deceleration of the mass of block due to friction. We will first find the force of friction from the following formula

F = ∪ x m x g          

where F = unknown (frictional force)

∪ = 0.4   (coefficient of friction)

m = 0.08 kg   (mass of block)

g = 9.81 m/s² (acceleration due to gravity)

F = 0.31392 N

From this force we calculate the deceleration based on the following formula

F = m x a                  

where F = 0.31392   (frictional force)

m = 0.08 kg   (mass of block)

a = unknown  (acceleration)

a = -3.924 m/s²      -

*the negative sign is due to this value being deceleration

Now to find the total distance traveled we use the equation for motion

v² = u² + 2as            

where  v = 0 (final velocity)

u = 2.9526 m/s (initial velocity

a = -3.924 m/s² (deceleration due to friction)

s = unknown (distance traveled)

s = 1.11 meters

Rest and motion are relative terms. write in brief​
Greeley [361]

Answer:

Rest and motion are the relative terms because they depend on the observer's frame of reference. So if two different observers are not at rest with respect to each other, then they too get different results when they observe the motion or rest of a body.

Explanation With Example:

Imagine you are sitting inside a moving bus. When you look outside you will observe that you are moving. ... With respect to the roof of bus, you are at rest. Hence it is concluded that rest and motion are relative terms.

What is the circle of least confusion?
Artist 52 [7]

Answer and Explanation:

In optics, a CoC(Circle of Confusion) is defined the minimum cross section of a paraxial bundle of rays made by a lens which is sphero-cylindrical type and can be viewed as an optical spot, which do not converge perfectly at the focus  while a point source is being imaged due to spherical aberration.

The Circle of Confusion is also referred to as circle of indistinctness or a blur spot

A 190 g rock at 20°C is completely immersed in 600 g of water at 80°C. Which one of the following statements is true right after
Umnica [9.8K]

Rock is completely immersed in hot water. By the second law of thermodynamics, thermal energy or heat is transferred from substance with higher temperature to substance with lower temperature until they come to thermal equilibrium i.e. both at same temperature.

It is given here that rock is at 20°C which is at lower temperature than water at 80°C. ∴Heat or thermal energy flows from water to rock. So, right choice is-

A. The water gives the rock thermal energy and gets no thermal energy in return.

As the temperature rises the solubility of all gases in water will _________
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

Decreases.

Explanation:

The rise in temperature of gas increases the kinetic energy of its molecules and they rush out of water instead of dissolving similarly as air rushes out of boiling water in form of bubbles
