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

h the box vertically into the air. What is the maximum height the box will reach if the spring constant is 300 N/m?

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

What causes an object to move, change direction or change speed?
Wittaler [7]
I believe it would be an unbalanced force. Because the forces are unbalanced, one side is stronger and, therefore, the object will move.

What is the frequency of a microwave of wavelength 3cm?
navik [9.2K]

Frequency = (speed) / (wavelength)

Speed = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

Wavelength = 3 cm = 0.03 m

Frequency = (3 x 10⁸  m/s) / (0.03 m)

Frequency = (3 x 10⁸ / 0.03) (m / m-s)

Frequency =  1 x 10¹⁰ Hz (10 Gigahertz)
