The term “good mother dinosaurs” is a term given to a type of dinosaur called Maiasaura which lived in the Upper Cretaceous Period, about 76.7 million years ago. This term is given<span> to the Maiasaura because of the meaning of its name "Maia". This name means "good mother" because this type of dinosaur found near of the nest of eggs and embryos.</span>

There is evidence in the fossil record that dinosaurs were “good mothers.” Some species lived in groups in which adults surrounded the young. Other species built nests where some paleontologists believed young were reared until they were able to live on their own.

A toy cannon uses a spring to project a 5.38-g soft rubber ball. The spring is originally compressed by 5.08 cm and has a force

yawa3891 [41]

(a) 1.43 m/s

We can solve this problem by using the law of conservation of energy.

The initial total energy stored in the spring-mass system is

$E=U=\frac{1}{2}kx^2$

where

k = 7.91 N/m is the spring constant

$x=5.08 cm = 0.0508 m$

Substituting,

$E=\frac{1}{2}(7.91)(0.0508)^2=0.0102 J$

The final kinetic energy of the ball is equal to the energy released by the spring + the work done by friction:

$E+W_f=K$

where

$K_f=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$ is the kinetic energy of the ball, with

$m=5.38 g = 5.38\cdot 10^{-3} kg$ being the mass of the ball

v being the final speed

$W_f = -F_f d$ is the work done by friction (which is negative since the force of friction is opposite to the motion), where

$F_f = 0.0323 N$ is force of friction

d = 14.5 cm = 0.145 m is the displacement

Substituting,

$W_f = -(0.0323)(0.145)=-4.68\cdot 10^{-3} J$

So, the kinetic energy of the ball as it leaves the cannon is

$K_f = E+W_f = 0.0102 - 4.68\cdot 10^{-3}=0.00552 J$

And so the final speed is

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2K_f}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(0.00552)}{0.00538}}=1.43 m/s$

(b) +5.08 cm

The speed of the ball is maximum at the instant when all the elastic potential energy stored in the spring has been released: in fact, after that moment, the spring does no longer release any more energy, so the kinetic energy of the ball from that moment will start to decrease, due to the effect of the work done by friction.

The elastic potential energy of the spring is

$U=\frac{1}{2}kx^2$

And this has all been released when it becomes zero, so when x = 0 (equilibrium position of the spring). However, the spring was initially compressed by 5.08 cm, so the ball has maximum speed when

x = +5.08 cm

with respect to the initial point.

(c) 1.78 m/s

The maximum speed is the speed of the ball at the moment when the kinetic energy is maximum, i.e. when all the elastic potential energy has been released.

As we calculated in part (a), the total energy released by the spring is

E = 0.0102 J

The work done by friction here is just the work done to cover the distance of

d = 5.08 cm = 0.0508 m

Therefore

$W_f = -(0.0323)(0.0508)=-1.64\cdot 10^{-3} J$

So, the kinetic energy of the ball at the point of maximum speed is

$K_f = E+W_f = 0.0102 - 1.64\cdot 10^{-3}=0.00856 J$

And so the final speed is

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2K_f}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(0.00856)}{0.00538}}=1.78 m/s$

A 65.0 kg diver is 4.90 m above the water, falling at speed of 6.40 m/s. Calculate her kinetic energy as she hits the water. (Ne

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

4452.5 J.

Explanation:

The diver have both kinetic and potential energy.

Ek = 1/2mv² ................. Equation 1

Where Ek = Kinetic Energy of the diver, m = mass of the diver, v = velocity of the diver.

Given: m = 65 kg, v = 6.4 m/s.

Substitute into equation 1

Ek = 1/2(65)(6.4²)

Ek = 1331.2 J.

Also,

Ep = mgh ............................ Equation 2

Where Ep = Potential energy of the diver when its above the water, h = height of the diver above the water, g = acceleration due to gravity.

Given: m = 65 kg, h = 4.9 m, g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute into equation 2.

Ep = 65(4.9)(9.8)

Ep = 3121.3 J.

Note: When she hits the water, the potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.

E = Ek+Ep

Where E = Kinetic energy of the diver when she hits the water.

E = 1331.2+3121.3

E = 4452.5 J.

A light ray traveling from a higher index of refraction medium into a lower index of refraction medium (for example, from water

masya89 [10]

Answer:

option C

Explanation:

The correct answer is option C

When the ray of light pass from higher refractive index to lower refractive index then the light bend away from the normal.

when the refracted ray is parallel to the boundary of the medium, θ₂ = 90°

and the incident angle θ₁

so, the angle θc is known as the critical angle.

At critical angle the refracted ray becomes parallel to boundary surface.

natta225 [31]

Answer:

K=24.17 x 10⁻² J s⁻¹c⁻¹m⁻¹

Explanation:

Rate of flow of heat through a material is given by the following expression

$\frac{Q}{t} =\frac{KA\delta T}{d}$

where Q is amount of heat flowing in time t through area A and a medium of thickness d having two faces at temperature difference δT . K is thermal conductivity of the medium .

Here Q = 3.34 x 10⁶/6 , t = 24 x 60 x 60 = 86400 s , A = .332 X .332 = .0110224 m² , δT = 104.7

Put these values here

$\frac{3.34\times10^6}{6\times86400}= \frac{k\times.011224\times104.7}{4.41\times10^{-2}}$

$K=\frac{3.34\times4.41\times10^4}{6\times86400\times.011224\times104.7}$

K=24.17 x 10⁻² J s⁻¹c⁻¹m⁻¹
