A spring is used to stop a 50-kg package which is moving down a 20º incline. The spring has a constant k = 30 kN/m and is held b

y cables so that it is initially compressed 50 mm. Knowing that the velocity of the package is 2 m/s when it is 8 m from the spring and neglecting friction, determine the maximum additional deformation of the spring in bringing the package to rest.

Answer:

0.3 m

Explanation:

Initially, the package has both gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy.  The spring has elastic energy.  After the package is brought to rest, all the energy is stored in the spring.

Initial energy = final energy

mgh + ½ mv² + ½ kx₁² = ½ kx₂²

Given:

m = 50 kg

g = 9.8 m/s²

h = 8 sin 20º m

v = 2 m/s

k = 30000 N/m

x₁ = 0.05 m

(50)(9.8)(8 sin 20) + ½ (50)(2)² + ½ (30000)(0.05)² = ½ (30000)x₂²

x₂ ≈ 0.314 m

So the spring is compressed 0.314 m from it's natural length.  However, we're asked to find the additional deformation from the original 50mm.

x₂ − x₁

0.314 m − 0.05 m

0.264 m

Rounding to 1 sig-fig, the spring is compressed an additional 0.3 meters.

densk [106]

Answer:10.4 times of initial velocity

Explanation:

Given

Diameter reduced by 69 %

it approaches with velocity v_0

suppose its velocity is v during blocked passage

suppose d is the initial diameter and d_2 diameter is

d_2=d(1-0.69)

d_2=0.31 d

A_2=\frac{\pi d_2^2}{4}

As flow is constant

Q_1=Q_2

d^2v_0=d_2^2v

v=10.40 v_0

Which transformation could take place at the anode of an electrochemical cell?
erica [24]
As I found out the choices for your question which are: 

<span>A) F2 to F-
B) Cr2O7²- → Cr2+ 
C) O2 to H2O
D) HAsO2 to As
</span>
Unfortunately, the answer does not belong to the choices provided. In fact, it is the oxidation half-reaction that occurs at the anode of an electrode for it to transform chemical energy to consumable electrical energy.

A person standing on the surface of the earth has a weight of 650 N. What is its weight at a distance of two earth radii from th
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

72.22 N

Explanation:

F = weight

m = mass of body

M = mass of earth

R = radius of earth

G = universal constant of gravitation

F_1= 650 N

F_1 = GMm/R^2

two earth radius above the surface of the earth:

F_2=  GMm/(3R)^2=  GMm/9R^2= F_1/9= 650/9

=72.22 N
