Answer:
Assuming air resistance is negligible, all of the potential energy that the object has at the top of the ramp is converted into kinetic energy by the time it gets to the bottom of the ramp. This is because no matter what path the object takes to move the 5m vertically (ie. falling straight down v. sliding on the ramp), gravity does the same amount of work on it.
Thus, calculate the total amount of potential energy at the top of the ramp:
Ep=mgh
Ep=4(9.81)5
Ep=196.2 Joules
Because all of this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy in the object by the bottom of the ramp, the object hits the spring with 196.2J of energy.
By using the formula for elastic potential energy, you can calculate exactly how far the spring compresses.
196.2=(1/2)k(x^2)
392.4=(350)(x^2)
1.1211=x^2
sqrt(1.1211)=x
x=1.059m
As for the last part of the question, after the object compresses the spring fully and stops momentarily, the spring converts it's elastic potential energy back into kinetic energy in the object and pushes it away again.
Explanation:
Answer:
400 m
Explanation:
The swimmer swims 50 meters to one end of the pool but has to swim back therefore you double 50 which would be 100 meters. Then you have to multiply 100 by 4 since the swimmer did it 4 times.
The answer would be that the process to protect the underground pipelines and storage tanks is cathodic protection.
Answer: d = 33 cm or 0.33 m
Explanation: In physics, Work is the amount of energy transferred to an object to make it move. It can be expressed by:
W = F.d.cosθ
F is the force applied to the object, d is the displacement and θ is the angle formed between the force and the displacement.
For the ice block, the angle is 0, i.e., force and distance are at the same direction, so:
W = F.d.cos(0)
W = F.d
To determine d:
d = 
d = 
d = 0.33 m
The distance d the block ice moved is 33 cm.
Answer B. 112 m
Step-by-Step Explanation
initial velocity u = 20 m /s
final velocity v = 36 m /s
time taken t = 4 s
acceleration = (v - U) / t
= (36 - 20) / 4
a=4m/s2
from the formula
7-u2=2as , sis distance covered
putting the values
362-202=2×4×s
1296 - 400 = 8 x S
S= 112 m
