A 100g block is initially compressing a spring 5.0 cm. The spring launches the block 50cm horizontally along the ground with a f

riction force of 15N. The block then slides up a frictionless ramp at 30 degrees reaching a 1.5m maximum height off the ground. What was the force constant of the spring

Answer:

7200 N/m

Explanation:

Metric unit conversion

100g = 0.1 kg

5 cm = 0.05 m

50 cm = 0.5 m

As the block is released from the spring and travelling to height h = 1.5m off the ground, the elastics energy is converted to work of friction force and the potential energy at 1.5 m off the ground

The work by friction force is the product of the force F = 15N itself and the distance s = 0.5 m

W_f = F_fs = 15*0.5 = 7.5 J

Let g = 10 m/s2. The change in potential energy can be calculated as the following:

E_p = mgh = 0.1*10*1.5 = 1.5 J

Therefore, as elastic energy is converted to potential energy and work of friction:

E_e = W_f + E_p

kx^2/2 = 7.5 + 1.5 = 9 J

k = 9*2/x^2 = 18/0.05^2 = 7200 N/m

What is the kinetic energy of a 0.50 kg ball traveling at 120 m/s
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

3600 J

Explanation:

Kinetic energy of an object is the energy posses by an object solely due to its motion.

It can also be defined as the amount of work that can be done when an moving object come to test.

Kinetic energy of an object can be calculated by the equation,

K.E. = ½mv²

Where m = mass, v = velocity

So you get,

K.E. = ½×0.5×(120)² = 3600 J

In figure 16-2 is the temperature of the material within the cylinder greatest during the intake stroke, compression stroke, pow
erastovalidia [21]
Technically, we have no way of knowing that without seeing Figure 16-2.
So the question should be reported for incomplete content.  But I'm
going to take a wild stab at it anyway.

There's so much discussion of 'cylinder' and 'strokes' in the question,
I have a hunch that it's talking about the guts of a 4-stroke internal
combustion gasoline engine. 

If I'm right, then the temperature of the material within the cylinder is
greatest right after the spark ignites it.  At that instant, the material burns, 
explodes, expands violently, and drives the piston down with its stiff shot
of pressure.

This is obviously happening because of the great, sudden increase in
temperature when the material ignites and explodes.

It hits the piston with pressure, which leads directly to the power stroke.

Formula for Velocity = DISTANCE traveled/TIME to travel distance + direction

For this one, we can use mph(miles per hour) as unit. 

v = 1,000 miles / 336 hours   (2 weeks = 24 hours  x 14 days = 336 hrs)
   = 2.98 mph North

or we can use kph (kilometers per hour)

v = 1609.34 km / 336 hours    (1 mile = 1.60934 km)
  = 4.79 kph North
