Initially, mg = kx. K = mg/x = 700/0.5x10^-3 = 1400000N/m. From second condition, applying work-energy theorem, potential enery- elastic potential energy = change in kinetic energy. Now change in kinetic energy is 0 since initial and final velocities are 0m/s. Therefore, potential energy = elastic potential energy. mgh = (1/2) * k* x^2. x^2 = 2(mg)h/k = 2 x 700 x 1.3/ 1400000. x = 0.036m. Hope it's clear.

If the crate shown here is moving at a constant speed in a straight line and the force applied is 310 N, what is the magnitude o
larisa86 [58]

Answer:

f_k = 310N

the answer is A.

Explanation:

Using the laws of newton:

∑F = ma

where ∑F is the sumatory of forces acting in the system, m the mass and a the acelertion of the system.

Then, if the block is moving with constant velocity, its aceleration is equal to 0, so:

∑F = m(0)

∑F = 0

It means that:

F -f_k = 0

where F is the force applied and f_k is the friction force. Replacing the value of F, we get:

310N -f_k = 0

Finally, solving for f_k:

f_k = 310N

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

The box of rocks will have depression which can be seen without touching the box.

Explanation:

The density of rocks is very large as compared with napkins. So, the weight of the rocks will be much more greater than that of napkins.

As both boxes have same volume the heavier box will show depression on the lower surface as compared to the lighter box. So, the box of rocks will have depression which can be seen without touching the box.

Which statement describes how the photoelectric effect causes an electric
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

A. Light acts as particles, causing electrons on the surface it strikes to be destroyed.

Explanation:

  • The photoelectric effect is a phenomenon that occurs when light shined onto a metal surface causes the ejection of electrons from that metal. It was observed that only certain frequencies of light are able to cause the ejection of electrons.

A force is a vector quantity. What does that mean?
Inga [223]

Answer: Acceleration due to gravity

Explanation: Force, F = mg, is a vector quantity because the acceleration due to gravity, g, is a vector quantity. Explanation: F = mg Where m is the mass (in kilograms) of the object in question and g is the acceleration due to gravity. Mass is a scalar quantity; mass has no dependence on direction whatsoever.
