Eddi Din [679]3 years ago

Answer:

1.56 m/s

Explanation:

For East direction, the 6 blocks is equivalent to 6*100=600 m

For West direction, 8 blocks is equivalent to 8*100=800 m

Speed is given by s=d/t where s is speed, d is distance covered and t is time taken

Total distance is 600+800=1400m

Time taken is 15 mins, converted to seconds will be 15*60=900 s

Speed, s=1400/900=1.5555555555555 m/s rounded off as 1.56 m/s

An ideal spring is fixed at one end. A variable force F pulls on the spring. When the magnitude of F reaches a value of 49.8 N,

Answer:

W = 7.06 J

Explanation:

From the given information the spring constant 'k' can be calculated using the Hooke's Law.

F = kx\\49.8 = k(0.181)\\k = 275.13~N/m

Now, using this spring constant the additional work required by F to stretch the spring can be found.

The work energy theorem tells us that the work done on the spring is equal to the change in the energy. Therefore,

W = U_2 - U_1\\W = \frac{1}{2}kx_2^2 - \frac{1}{2}kx_1^2 = \frac{1}{2}(275.13)[0.29^2 - 0.18^2] = 7.06~J

Why are hurricanes considered more damaging than tornadoes when tornadoes have stronger winds
chubhunter [2.5K]

-- A tornado follows a path that's a few miles wide, for a few hours.
   Then it's all over.

-- A hurricane follows a path that's several hundred miles wide,
   for a week or two, before it's over.
   Then comes the rain, continuing on the same path, for another week.

You are writing a report about space travel. Where would be the best place to find information? (2 points)
Harrizon [31]

Answer: Contact the National Aeronautics and Space Association

Explanation:

The National Aeronautics and Space Association is an independent organization in US which aims to enable a safe, secure, efficient space journey and launch of new satellites, spacecraft beyond the earth's orbit. It can give better information for the space travel already conducted by the astronauts. Thus will help in writing the report as it is the best place to find the information.

The potential energy of a particle as a function of position will be given as U(x) = A x2 + B x + C, where U will be in joules w
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

F = - 2 A x - B

Explanation:

The force and potential energy are related by the expression

      F = - dU / dx i ^ -dU / dy j ^ - dU / dz k ^

Where i ^, j ^, k ^ are the unit vectors on the x and z axis

The potential they give us is

     U (x) = A x² + B x + C

Let's calculate the derivatives

    dU / dx = A 2x + B + 0

The other derivatives are zero because the potential does not depend on these variables.

Let's calculate the strength

      F = - 2 A x - B
