A steel safe with mass M falls onto a concrete floor. Just before hitting the floor, its speed is vi . It hits the floor without

rebounding, and ends up being d shorter than before. Find the magnitude of the (average) force exerted by the floor on the safe while it is being deformed. You can assume this force is a constant during the short time it takes for the safe to deform. Ignore the effects of gravity.

Answer:

Explanation:

initial velocity, u = vi

final velocity, v = 0

distance = d

mass of safe = M

Use third equation of motion

v² = u² + 2as

0 = vi² - 2 ad

a = vi²/2d

Force, F = mass x acceleration

F = M x vi²/2d

F = Mvi²/2d

An ice cube of mass 50.0 g can slide without friction up and down a 25.0 degree slope. The ice cube is pressed against a spring
lozanna [386]

Answer:

0.6 m

Explanation:

When a spring is compressed it stores potential energy. This energy is:

Ep = 1/2 * k * x^2

Being x the distance it compressed/stretched.

When the spring bounces the ice cube back it will transfer that energy to the cube, it will raise up the slope, reaching a high point where it will have a speed of zero and a potential energy equal to what the spring gave it.

The potential energy of the ice cube is:

Ep = m * g * h

This is vertical height and is related to the distance up the slope by:

sin(a) = h/d

h = sin(a) * d

Replacing:

Ep = m * g * sin(a) * d

Equating both potential energies:

1/2 * k * x^2 = m * g * sin(a) * d

d = (1/2 * k * x^2) / (m * g * sin(a))

d= (1/2 * 25 * 0.1^2) / (0.05 * 9.81 * sin(25)) = 0.6 m

Which evidence supports the big band theory select 3 options
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

Explanation:

There are different theories and evidence about the big bang, in this case, we're going to see three evidence.

The galaxies are moving from us, this means space is expanded, this in consequence Big Bang's explosion.

The cosmic microwave background radiation is related to the early warmth of the universe.

The observed abundance of hydrogen, helium, deuterium, lithium, these are checked from the spectra of the oldest stars.

Consider the graph below that represents the variation of the velocity with respect to time of an object moving along the x - ax
vazorg [7]

In a velocity-time graph, the area under the curve represents the distance.

The distance traveled from 10s to 18 s is

\begin{gathered} d\text{ = }\frac{1}{2}\times10\times(18-10) \\ =\text{ 40 m} \end{gathered}

Final Answer: The distance traveled is 40 m from time 10 s to 18 s.
