A block of mass 2.95 kg is placed against a horizontal spring of constant k = 820 N/m and pushed so the spring compresses by 0.0

800 m. (a) What is the spring potential energy of the block-spring system? 2.624 Correct: Your answer is correct. J (b) If the block is now released and the surface is frictionless, calculate the block's speed after leaving the spring.

Answer:

(a) 2.624

(b) 1.334

Explanation:

The given data in the question is:

Mass = 2.95 kg

Spring constant "k" = 820 N/m

Compression of Spring "x" = 0.0800m

Using this data and the equation to find the answer for spring potential energy:

spring potential energy = 1/2 kx²

= 1/2 (820 N/m)(0.0800m)²

= 2.624 Joules

(b) - It is given that the surface is friction-less which means no loss of energy during the motion of spring. This means that all the potential energy possessed by the spring converts to Kinetic Energy of the block. We can equate spring potential energy with Kinetic energy to find the block's speed as below:

Kinetic Energy = 1/2mv² where "m" is mass and "v" is velocity of the object

1/2mv² =  spring potential energy (found in part "a" above)

1/2(2.95 kg)v² = 2.624 Joules

v² = (2.624 x 2) / 2.95

v² = 1.779

v = √1.779

v = 1.334 m/s

The potential difference between the surface of a 3.0-cm-diameter power line and a point 1.0 m distant is 3.9 kV. Find the line
Korolek [52]

Answer:

The linear charge density is 5.19 X 10⁻⁶ C/m

Explanation:

The potential difference between two cylinders, is given as

V = (λ/2πε)ln(b/a)

where;

λ is the line charge density on the power line.

b is the distance between the power line = 1 m

a is the radius of the wire = 1.5 cm = 0.015 m

ε is the permittivity of free space = 8.9 X 10⁻¹² C

V*2πε = λ* ln(b/a)

3900 *(2π*8.9 x10⁻¹²)= λ *ln(1/0.015)

2.1812 X 10⁻⁷ = 4.1997* λ

λ = 5.19 X 10⁻⁶ C/m

Therefore, the linear charge density is 5.19 X 10⁻⁶ C/m

a car accelerates from rest to a velocity of 5meters/second in 4 seconds. what is its average acceleration over this period of t
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

1.25 m/s²

Explanation:

Average acceleration is the change in velocity over change in time.

a = Δv / Δt

a = (5 m/s − 0 m/s) / 4 s

a = 1.25 m/s²

A 300-W blender did 10,500J of work. how long was the blender running?
forsale [732]

Answer:

The blender was running for 35 seconds.

Explanation:

Given:

Power of the blender is, P=300\ W

Work done by the blender is, W=10500\ J

We know that, power is defined as the rate at which work is done by the body.

Here, we are given the power and work done and we are asked to find time taken.

Let the time of running of the blender be 't' seconds.

So, the power of the blender is given as:

P=\frac{W}{t}

Rewriting the above in terms of 't', we have

t=\frac{W}{P}

Plug in the given values and solve for 't'. This gives,

t=\frac{10500}{300}\\t=35\ s

Therefore, the blender was running for 35 seconds.

What are the difference between copper and sodium once you put it to flame?
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

When you burned the skewer tip coated with sodium chloride, you should have seen that the flame was pure yellow-orange (without any blue). This is because when the metal sodium is burned, it makes intense yellow-orange light. ... This is because when the metal copper is burned, it makes bluish-green light.

hope this helps
