(8c7p26) During spring semester at MIT, residents of the parallel buildings of the East Campus dorms battle one another with lar

ge catapults that are made with surgical hose mounted on a window frame. A balloon filled with dyed water is placed in a pouch attached to the hose, which is then stretched through the width of the room. Assume that the stretching of the hose obeys Hooke's law and has a spring constant of 102 N/m. If the hose is stretched by 4.8 m and then released, how much work does the force from the hose do on the balloon in the pouch by the time the hose reaches its relaxed length

Answer: 1175 J

Explanation:

Hooke's Law states that "the strain in a solid is proportional to the applied stress within the elastic limit of that solid."

Given

Spring constant, k = 102 N/m

Extension of the hose, x = 4.8 m

from the question, x(f) = 0 and x(i) = maximum elongation = 4.8 m

Work done =

W = 1/2 k [x(i)² - x(f)²]

Since x(f) = 0, then

W = 1/2 k x(i)²

W = 1/2 * 102 * 4.8²

W = 1/2 * 102 * 23.04

W = 1/2 * 2350.08

W = 1175.04

W = 1175 J

Therefore, the hose does a work of exactly 1175 J on the balloon

Is energy released or absorbed during the formation of a solution?
kodGreya [7K]
Energy can be released and absorbed during the formation of a solution, not one or the other. When a solute interacts with the solvent, energy is absorbed so the solvent can overcome the intermolecular bonds of the solute and energy is released, most commonly, in the form of heat, light, or a gaseous byproduct.

a car accelerates from 4 meters/second to 16 meter/second in 4 seconds. The cars acceleration is how many meter/seconds.​
Allushta [10]

Answer:

=3 metre per second ^2

Explanation:

Formula for acceleration is

V-U÷T

In the given information

V=16

U=4

T=4

Acceleration =16-4/4

=3 metre per second ^2

Two competing models attempt to explain the motions and changing brightness of the planets: Ptolemy's geocentric model and Coper
AlekseyPX

Answer:

A. Geocentric: This model is Earth Centered . Retrograde motion is explained by epicycles .

B. Heliocentric: This model is Sun centered.  Retrograde motion is explained by the orbital speeds of planets

C. Both geocentric and heliocentric: Epicycles and deferents help explain planetary motion . Planets move in circular orbits and with uniform motion . The brightness of a planet increases when the planet is closest to Earth.

Explanation:

The principle of the Ptolemy's geocentric model was developed on the assumption that the center of the universe is the Earth. On the other hand, the principle of the Copernicus' heliocentric model was based on the assumption that the center of the universe is the sun. However, both models have a common ideology on uniform circular motion and epicycles.

Pls help<br> What graph indicates no reference to direction of motion, and explain why.
Komok [63]

Answer:

graph A

Explanation:

the slope of the distance-time graph is speed, speed is a scalar (with magnitudes but no direction)

but the slope for the velocity time graph is acceleration, acceleration is vector quantity ( has magnitude and direction)
