The thing that pushes the object up while it is falling is air. This force is known as "air resistance".

A 645 g block is released from rest at height h0 above a vertical spring with spring constant k = 530 N/m and negligible mass. T

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

a)5.88J

b)-5.88J

c)0.78m

d)0.24m

Explanation:

a) W by the block on spring is given by

W= $\frac{1}{2}$ kx² = $\frac{1}{2}$ (530)(0.149)² = 5.88 J

b) Workdone by the spring = - Workdone by the block = -5.88J

c) Taking x = 0 at the contact point we have U top = U bottom

So, mg $h_o$ = $\frac{1}{2}$ kx² - mgx

And, $h_o$ = ( $\frac{1}{2}$ kx² - mgx )/(mg) = $[\frac{1}{2} (530)(0.149^2)-(0.645)(9.8)(0.149)$ ]/(0.645x9.8)

$h_o$ = 0.78m

d) Now, if the initial initial height of block is 3 $h_o$

$h_o$ = 3 x 0.78 = 2.34m

then, $\frac{1}{2}$ kx² - mgx - mg $h_o$ =0

$\frac{1}{2}$ (530)x² - [(0.645)(9.8)x] - [(0.645)(9.8)(2.34) = 0

265x² - 6.321x - 14.8 = 0

a=265

b=-6.321

c=-14.8

By using quadratic eq. formula, we'll have the roots

x= 0.24 or x=-0.225

Considering only positive root:

x= 0.24m (maximum compression of the spring)

Planets are not uniform inside. Normally, they are densest at the center and have decreasing density outward toward the surface.

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

a = 9.94 m/s²

Explanation:

given,

density at center= 1.6 x 10⁴ kg/m³

density at the surface = 2100 Kg/m³

volume mass density as function of distance

$\rho(r) = ar^2 - br^3$

r is the radius of the spherical shell

dr is the thickness

volume of shell

$dV = 4 \pi r^2 dr$

mass of shell

$dM = \rho(r)dV$

$\rho = \rho_0 - br$

now,

$dM = (\rho_0 - br)(4 \pi r^2)dr$

integrating both side

$M = \int_0^{R} (\rho_0 - br)(4 \pi r^2)dr$

$M = \dfrac{4\pi}{3}R^3\rho_0 - \pi R^4(\dfrac{\rho_0-\rho}{R})$

$M = \pi R^3(\dfrac{\rho_0}{3}+\rho)$

we know,

$a = \dfrac{GM}{R^2}$

$a = \dfrac{G( \pi R^3(\dfrac{\rho_0}{3}+\rho))}{R^2}$

$a =\pi RG(\dfrac{\rho_0}{3}+\rho)$

$a =\pi (6.674\times 10^{-11}\times 6.38 \times 10^6)(\dfrac{1.60\times 10^4}{3}+2.1\times 10^3)$

a = 9.94 m/s²

taurus [48]

The force required to start an object sliding across a uniform horizontal surface is larger than the force required to keep the object sliding at a constant velocity once it starts.

The magnitudes of the required forces are different in these situations because the force of kinetic friction is less than the force of static friction. <em>(d)</em>
