A spring that is compressed 14.5 cm from its equilibrium position stores 2.99 J of potential energy. Determine the spring consta

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

284.4233 N/m

Explanation:

k = Spring constant

x = Compression of spring = 14.5 cm

U = Potential energy = 2.99 J

The potential energy of a spring is given by

$U=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2$

Rearranging to get the value of k

$\\\Rightarrow k=\dfrac{2U}{x^2}\\\Rightarrow k=\dfrac{2\times 2.99}{0.145^2}\\\Rightarrow k=284.4233\ N/m$

The spring constant is 284.4233 N/m

A loud sound is produced in the downtown section of a city. Which of the following is least likely to occur with the sound wave

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

A. The sound wave will reflect off Buildings and automobiles.

Explanation:

This is because the sound waves would more likely propagate through diffraction through buildings and transmission through the air. It is also more likely to be absorbed by buildings than for multiple reflections to occur off buildings and automobiles. In the process of reflection, these materials would absorb the sound energy thereby reducing its ability to reflect.

A key falls from a bridge that is 32 m above the water. It falls directly into a model boat, moving with constant velocity, that

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

Speed of the boat, v = 4.31 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Height of the bridge, h = 32 m

The model boat is 11 m from the point of impact when the key was released, d = 11 m

Firstly, we will find the time needed for the boat to get in this position using second equation of motion as :

$s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2$

Here, u = 0 and a = g

$t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2s}{g}}$

$t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 32}{9.8}}$

t = 2.55 seconds

Let v is the speed of the boat. It can be calculated as :

$v=\dfrac{d}{t}$

$v=\dfrac{11\ m}{2.55\ s}$

v = 4.31 m/s

So, the speed of the boat is 4.31 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

According to the concept of length contraction, what happens to the length of an object as it approaches the speed of light and

lord [1]

When an object moves its length contracts in the direction of motion. The faster it moves the shorter it gets in the direction of motion.
The object in this question moves and then stops moving. So it's length first contracts and then expands to its original length when the motion stops.
The speed doesn't have to be anywhere near the speed of light. When the object moves its length contracts no matter how fast or slow it's moving.
