<u>Answer:</u>
The velocity is 30.279 m/s
<u>Explanation</u>:
Consider the initial speed of the semi-trailer be v
Then, initial kinetic energy =
According to question, the semi-trailer coast along a ramp, which is inclined at an angle of 170, and to a distance of 160m to stop
Change in vertical position == 46.779m
Final potential energy of semitrailer = mgh
Applying principle of conservation of energy,
= mgh
Solving for v, we get = 2gh = 2*9.8*46.779 = 916.8684
= 916.8684
v = 30.279 m/s
Therefore, the velocity is 30.279 m/s
The third option is wrong
Answer:
The total mechanical energy does not change if the value of the mass is changed. That is, remain the same
Explanation:
The total mechanical energy of a spring-mass system is equal to the elastic potential energy where the object is at the amplitude of the motion. That is:
(1)
k: spring constant
A: amplitude of the motion = 2.0cm
As you can notice in the equation (1), the total mechanical energy of the system does not depend of the mass of the object. It only depends of the amplitude A and the spring constant.
Hence, if you use a mass of 0.40kg the total mechanical energy is the same as the obtained with a mas 0.20kg
Remain the same
Yeah, bright planet Jupiter and Saturn will align perfectly on December 21 to create what is commonly called the Christmas store or the star of Bethlehem period of corn to NASA, Jupiter and Saturn align well with one another every 20 years or so but not nearly as close together as they will be in 2020.
