A student pushes a 0.2 kg box against a spring causing the spring to compress 0.15 m. When the spring is released, it will launc

Answer:

The maximum height the box will reach is 1.72 m

Explanation:

F = k·x

Where

F = Force of the spring

k = The spring constant = 300 N/m

x  = Spring compression or stretch = 0.15 m

Therefore the force, F of the spring = 300 N/m×0.15 m = 45 N

Mass of box = 0.2 kg

Work, W, done by the spring = \frac{1}{2} kx^2 and the kinetic energy gained by the box is given by KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2

Since work done by the spring = kinetic energy gained by the box we have

\frac{1}{2} mv^2 =  \frac{1}{2} kx^2  therefore we have v = \sqrt{\frac{kx^2}{m} } = x\sqrt{\frac{k}{m} } = 0.15\sqrt{\frac{300}{0.2} } = 5.81 m/s

Therefore the maximum height is given by

v² = 2·g·h or h = \frac{v^2}{2g} = \frac{5.81^{2} }{2*9.81} = 1.72 m

Korolek [52]
The main (and only) purpose of the turbine in the turbo jet engine is to drive the air compressor. The turbojet engine works by compressing the air using an inlet and a compressor, then mixing the fuel with the compressed air, then passing the mixture to the combustor, then passing the high pressure air through a turbine and a nozzle.

Prof. Kopp is working on an experiment located in an abandoned mine near Duluth, MN. The experiment is located approximately 713
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

The average speed of the elevator going down in the abandoned mine is 17.722mph.

Explanation:

If the elevator takes 90 seconds to descend a height of 713m, the average speed of the elevator is:

v_{av}=x_T/t_T=713m/90s=7.922m/s

And if 1m/s is 2.23694mph, the average speed is:

v_{av}=7.922m/s=17.722mph.

You are attempting to row across a stream in your rowboat. Your paddling speed relative to still water is 3.0 m/s (i.e., if you
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

Please check the attached file for the diagram

Explanation:

The velocity of the of the rowboat V_{tot}  through the river is the resultant velocity. It is obtained taking a vector sum of the velocity in still water and the velocity of the river.

There are several ways to take this vector sum, but the question makes it simple for us to use Pythagoras's theorem because the East and North directions are perpendicular to each other.

Hence;

V_{tot}^2=V_{still}^2+V_{w}^2\\V_{tot}^2=3^2+4^2

V_{tot}=\sqrt{3^2+4^2}\\ V_{tot}=\sqrt{25}=5m/s
