Answer: I belive that the Answer is C.) Conduction
Explanation:
Answer:
10
Explanation:
This is tough. The last number 0.2 has only one significant figure. So while the sum of all the numbers is 12.3, you must only leave one sig figure. Rounding to the tenths gives 10.
a) 0.94 m
The work done by the snow to decelerate the paratrooper is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the man:

where:
is the force applied by the snow
d is the displacement of the man in the snow, so it is the depth of the snow that stopped him
m = 68 kg is the man's mass
v = 0 is the final speed of the man
u = 55 m/s is the initial speed of the man (when it touches the ground)
and where the negative sign in the work is due to the fact that the force exerted by the snow on the man (upward) is opposite to the displacement of the man (downward)
Solving the equation for d, we find:

b) -3740 kg m/s
The magnitude of the impulse exerted by the snow on the man is equal to the variation of momentum of the man:

where
m = 68 kg is the mass of the man
is the change in velocity of the man
Substituting,

Answer:
The same amount of energy is required to either stretch or compress the spring.
Explanation:
The amount of energy required to stretch or compress a spring is equal to the elastic potential energy stored by the spring:

where
k is the spring constant
is the stretch/compression of the spring
In the first case, the spring is stretched from x=0 to x=d, so

and the amount of energy required is

In the second case, the spring is compressed from x=0 to x=-d, so

and the amount of energy required is

so we see that the amount of energy required is the same.
