Answer:

maximum speed = 1.55 m/s

speed is 0.775 m/s

Explanation:

given data

mass m = 0.25 kg

spring constant k = 15 N/m

amplitude A = 20 cm = 0.2 m

to find out

maximum speed and speed at the 1/2 amplitude

solution

we know formula for maximum speed that is

maximum speed = amplitude ×√(k/mass)

put all value

maximum speed = 0.2 ×√(15/0.25)

maximum speed = 1.55 m/s

and

at the 1/2 amplitude

we apply here conservation of energy that is

1/2 × m×v² = 1/2 × k×x²

here we know x = A/2 that is 20 /2 = 10 cm = 0.1 m

so

0.25 v² = 15 × 0.1²

v² = 0.600625

v = 0.775

so speed is 0.775 m/s

Match the layers of the atmosphere with the description that best matches it according to the graph titled Temperature Profile.

Finger [1]

The correct matches are as follows:

<span>Troposphere
A) Layer closest to the Earth where all weather occurs

Mesosphere
</span>C) temperature remains constant as elevation increases<span>

Mesopause
</span>D) temperature remains at a constant zero degrees Celsius as elevation increases<span>

Stratosphere
</span>E) begins between 50-60km and decreases in temperature as elevation increases <span>

Stratopause
</span> B) temperature increases as elevation increases

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

Two hockey pucks, labeled A and B, are initially at rest on a smooth ice surface and are separated by a distance of 18.0 m . Sim

Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

The distance covered by puck A before collision is $z = 8.56 \ m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The label on the two hockey pucks is A and B

The distance between the two hockey pucks is D 18.0 m

The speed of puck A is $v_A = 3.90 \ m/s$

The speed of puck B is $v_B = 4.30 \ m/s$

The distance covered by puck A is mathematically represented as

$z = v_A * t$

=> $t = \frac{z}{v_A}$

The distance covered by puck B is mathematically represented as

$18 - z = v_B * t$

=> $t = \frac{18 - z}{v_B}$

Since the time take before collision is the same

$\frac{18 - z}{V_B} = \frac{z}{v_A}$

substituting values

$\frac{18 -z }{4.3} = \frac{z}{3.90}$

=> $70.2 - 3.90 z = 4.3 z$

=> $z = 8.56 \ m$

A spring with spring constant 33N/m is attached to the ceiling, and a 4.8-cm-diameter, 1.5kg metal cylinder is attached to its l

mylen [45]

Answer:

0.423m

Explanation:

Conversion to metric unit

d = 4.8 cm = 0.048m

Let water density be $\who_w = 1000 kg/m^3$

Let gravitational acceleration g = 9.8 m/s2

Let x (m) be the length that the spring is stretched in equilibrium, x is also the length of the cylinder that is submerged in water since originally at a non-stretching position, the cylinder barely touches the water surface.

Now that the system is in equilibrium, the spring force and buoyancy force must equal to the gravity force of the cylinder. We have the following force equation:

$F_s + F_b = W$

Where $F_s = kx$ N is the spring force, $F_b = W_w = m_wg = \rho_w V_s g$ is the buoyancy force, which equals to the weight $W_w$ of the water displaced by the submerged portion of the cylinder, which is the product of water density $\rho_w$ , submerged volume $V_s$ and gravitational constant g. W = mg is the weight of the metal cylinder.

$kx + \rho_w V_s g = mg$

The submerged volume would be the product of cross-section area and the submerged length x

$V_s = Ax = \pi(d/2)^2x$

Plug that into our force equation and we have

$kx + \rho_w \pi(d/2)^2x g = mg$

$x(k + \rho_w g \pi d^2/4) = mg$

$x = \frac{m}{(k/g) + (\rho_w\pi d^2/4)} = \frac{1.5}{(33/9.8) + (100*\pi * 0.048^2/4)} = 0.423 m$
