An ideal spring is hung vertically from the ceiling. The spring constant is k = 125 N/m. A block of mass m = 650 g (1000 g = 1 k

g) is then attached to the free end and block extends the spring under its weight until it stops moving. Calculate the maximum extension of the spring due to the block. (Hint: when the system comes to equilibrium, the net force on the block must be zer0.)

Answer:

0.102 m

Explanation:

k = spring constant of the spring = 125 N/m

m = mass of the block attached to the spring = 650 g = 0.650 kg

x = maximum extension of the spring

h = height dropped by the block = x

Using conservation of energy

Spring potential energy gained = Gravitational potential energy lost

(0.5) k x² = mgh

(0.5) k x² = mgx

(0.5) (125) x = (0.650) (9.8)

x = 0.102 m

A 10.0kg water balloon is dropped from a height of 12.0m. Calculate the speed of the balloon just before it hits the ground
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

15.5 m/s.

Explanation:

Potential energy of the balloon has been converted to kinetic energy.

potential energy = kinetic energy.

mgh = ½mv².

10* 10* 12= ½ *10 *v²

1200 = 5v²

v²=1200÷5

v=√240

v= 15.49~15.5 m/s.

A small propeller airplane can comfortably achieve a high enough speed to take off on a runway that is 1/4 mile long. A large, f
QveST [7]

Answer:

1 mile

Explanation:

We can use the following equation of motion to solve for this problem:

v^2 - v_0^2 = 2a\Delta s

where v m/s is the final take-off velocity of the airplane, v_0 = 0 initial velocity of the can when it starts from rest, a is the acceleration of the airplanes, which are the same, and \Delta s is the distance traveled before takeoff, which is minimum runway length:

v^2 - 0^2 = 2a\Delta s

\Delta s = \frac{v^2}{2a}

From here we can calculate the distance ratio

\frac{\Delta s_1}{\Delta s_2} = \frac{v_1^2/2a_1}{v_2^2/2a_2}

\frac{\Delta s_1}{\Delta s_2} = \left(\frac{v_1}{v_2}\right)^2\frac{a_2}{a_1}

Since the 2nd airplane has the same acceleration but twice the velocity

\frac{\Delta s_1}{\Delta s_2} = 0.5^2* 1

\Delta s_2 = 4 \Delta s_1 = 4*(1/4) = 1 mile

So the minimum runway length is 1 mile
