The springs stored energy is transferred to the cube as kinetic energy and then by the slop the KE is converted to height energy.
<span>0.5 . k . x^2 = 0.5 . m . v^2 = m . g . ∆h </span>
<span>0.5 . 50 . (0.1^2) = 0.05 . 9.8 . ∆h </span>
<span>∆h = 0.51 m = 51 cm </span>
<span>This is the height gained </span>
<span>Distance along the slope = ∆h / sin 60 = 0.589 = 59 cm </span>
<span>In the second case, the stored spring energy is converted into height energy AND frictional heat energy. </span>
<span>The height energy is m . g . d sin 60 where d is the distance the cube moves along the slope. </span>
<span>The Frictional energy converted is F . d </span>
<span>F ( the frictional force ) = µ . N </span>
<span>N ( the reaction to the component of the gravity force perpendicular to the surface of the slope ) = m . g . cos60 </span>
<span>Total energy converted </span>
<span>0.5 . k . x^2 = (m . g . dsin60) + (µ . m . g . cos60 . d ) </span>
<span>Solve for d </span>
<span>d = 0.528 = 53 cm</span>
Regardless of the time of year, the northern and southern hemispheres always experience opposite seasons. This is because during summer or winter, one part of the planet is more directly exposed to the rays of the Sun than the other, and this exposure alternates as the Earth revolves in its orbit.
I don't understand the language.....
Answer:
Explanation:
Use the one-dimensional equation:
which says that the final velocity of a falling object is equal to its initial velocity times the acceleration of gravity times the time it takes to fall. We have the final velocity, -14.5 (negative because its direction is down and down is negative), initial velocity is 0 (because it was held still by someone before it was dropped), and acceleration is -9.8 (negative again, because direction is down while acceleration increases). Filling in:
-14.5 = 0 - 9.8t and
-14.5 = -9.8t so
t = 1.5 seconds
