A 465 g block slides along a frictionless surface at a speed of 0.35 m/s. It runs into a horizontal massless spring with spring

constant 54 N/m that extends outward from a wall. It compresses the spring, then is pushed back in the opposite direction by the spring, eventually losing contact with the spring.
a) How long does the block remain in contact with the spring?
b) How would your answer change if the block's initial speed was doubled?

Answer:

a) The duration, during which the block remain in contact with the spring is 0.29 s

b) The period of the simple harmonic oscillatory motion depends only on the mass and spring constant, therefore when the speed is doubled, the duration of contact remains the same as 0.29 s.

Explanation:

Mass of the block = 465 g

Surface speed = 0.35 m/s

Spring constant , k = 54 N/m

T = 2\times \pi \times \sqrt{\frac{m}{K} } = 2\times \pi \times \sqrt{\frac{0.465}{54} }  = 0.58 s

a) Since the period for the oscillatory motion is 0.58 s, then the time when the block and spring remain in contact is T/2 = 0.29 s

b) When the speed is doubled, we have

T = 2\times \pi \times \sqrt{\frac{m}{K} }

Therefore, since T is only dependent on the mass, m and the  spring constant, K, then the time it takes when the speed is doubled remain as

T /2 = 0.29 s

Water has a specific heat of 4.184
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

Water.

Explanation:

This means:

1) For the temperature of water to raise at any point to the next degree by 1°C, will require a specific heat capacity of  4.184  J/Kg°C

2) For the temperature of wood to raise at any point to the next degree by 1°C, will require a specific heat capacity of  1.760  J/Kg°C

Note that: specific heat is directly proportional to energy, therefore the higher the heat capacity, the higher the energy.

4.184  J/Kg°C is higher than 1.760  J/Kg°C, hence WATER needs more energy.

A neutral atom as the same number of protons and electrons.
ZanzabumX [31]

That is correct. Or so I believe. Either more or less than the other on the amount of protons and electrons, you can get either an unstable or a stable atom of an element.

You exert a 100-N pull on the end of a spring. When you increase the force by 20% to 120 N, the spring's length increases 9.0 cm
solmaris [256]

A) 222 N/m

Explanation:

Hook's law gives us the relationship between force (F), displacement with respect to the original length (x) and spring's constant (k):

F=kx

In this part of the problem, we have:

F = 120 N - 100 N = 20 N is the new force applied

x = 9.0 cm = 0.09 m is the displacement relative to the initial stretched position

Solving the equation for k, we find the spring constant

k=\frac{F}{x}=\frac{20 N}{0.09 m}=222 N/m

B) 45 cm

We can use Hook's law also for this part of the exercise:

F=kx

where this time we have

F = 100 N (the original pull applied)

k = 222 N/m

Solving the equation for x, we find the original displacement:

x=\frac{F}{k}=\frac{100 N}{222 N/m}=0.45 m=45 cm
