Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of ice cube m=50 gm

inclination \theta =25^{\circ}

Spring constant k=25\ N/m

initial compression x=0.1 m

Suppose Initially the cube is at the datum  and it moves h height after release

So Elastic Potential Energy of Spring will convert to Potential Energy of cube

\frac{1}{2}kx^2=mgh

\frac{1}{2}\times 25\times (0.1)^2=50\times 10^{-3}\times 9.8\times h

h=0.255 m

so final Potential Energy will be =mgh=0.05\times 9.8\times 0.255=0.125 J

Initial Potential Energy=0 J

B.Initially spring is at compression so energy associated with it is its Elastic Potential Energy i.e. 0.125 J

Final Energy=0 J

Answer: distance = 0.6 m

Explanation:

Given that:

Mass = 50g = 0.05kg

Ø = 25 degree

K = 25 N/m

Extension x = 0.1m

Let us first consider the total energy in the system.

Sum of the total energy = 0

That is

Final E - Initial E = 0

K.E, P.E and energy in the spring.

This equation will be reduced to

Mgh - 1/2mv^2 - 1/2Kx^2 = 0

Final velocity = 0 because of the spring energy

Initial height = 0

Final spring E = 0 as the spring returns to it normal length. Therefore,

Mgh - 1/2mv^2 - 1/2Kx^2 = 0

Since the ice cube was initially at rest, initial V = 0

Mgh = 1/2Kx^2

0.05 × 9.81 × h = 0.5 × 25 × 0.1^2

h = 0.125/0.4905

h = 0.255 m

how far will it travel up the slope before reversing direction?

Using SohCahToa for a right angle

SinØ = h/d

Where d = distance travel

Sin25 = 0.255/d

d = 0.255/sin 25

d = 0.603 m

Two long, straight parallel wires are placed 38 cm apart, one above the other. The top and bottom wires are carrying currents 4.
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

The force per unit length (N/m) on the top wire is 16.842 N/m

Explanation:

Given;

distance between the two parallel wire, d = 38 cm = 0.38 m

current in the first wire, I₁ = 4.0 kA

current in the second wire, I₂ = 8.0 kA

Force per unit length, between two parallel wires is given as;

\frac{F}{L} = \frac{\mu_oI_1I_2 }{2\pi d }

where;

μ₀ is constant = 4π x 10⁻⁷ T.m/A

Substitute the given values in the above equation and calculate the force per unit length

\frac{F}{L} = \frac{\mu_oI_1I_2 }{2\pi d } = \frac{4\pi *10^{-7}*4000*8000 }{2\pi *0.38} = 16.842 \ N/m

Therefore, the force per unit length (N/m) on the top wire is 16.842 N/m

Which phrase desenbes an irregular galaxy ?
Andrews [41]

Answer:

contains many young stars

Explanation:

Irregular galaxies have <em>no definite shape</em>, which means that the first option is incorrect. They are definitely not round.

However,<u> they contain many young stars because the degree of star formation is fast.</u> They also contain old stars. Thus, the second choice is correct.

The "spiral galaxy" is the type of galaxy that has arms that extend from the center. These arms look "spiral," which influenced its name. This makes the last choice incorrect.

They are actually <u>smaller than the other types of galaxies.</u> This makes them <em>prone to collisions</em>. This makes the last choice incorrect.

If a bottle is being squeezed with a force of 10 Newtons and the area of the bottle is 15

squared inches. What is the pressure??

Answer:

1025.64 N/m²

Explanation:

Pressure: This can be defined as the ratio of force to area. The si unit of pressure is N/m².

From the question,

P = F/A........................ Equation 1

Where F = Force, A = Area.

Given: F = 10 Newtons, A = 15 Squared Inches = (15×0.00065) = 0.00975 m²

Substitute these values into equation 1

P = 10/0.00975

P = 1025.64 N/m²

Hence the pressure of the bottle is 1025.64 N/m²
