Answer:

Compression in the spring, x = 3.7 cm

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the book, m = 1.6 kg

It can be assumed the spring constant of the spring is, k = 840 N/m

As the book moves down, the change in potential energy of the book is converted to spring potential energy of compression. The mathematical expression is as follows :

\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2=mgx

x=\dfrac{2mg}{k}

x=\dfrac{2\times 1.6\ kg\times 9.8\ m/s^2}{840\ N/m}  

x = 0.037 meters

or

x = 3.7 cm

So, the spring is compressed to a distance of 3.7 cm. Hence, this is the required solution.

A skier is accelerating down a 30.0-degree hill at 3.80 m/s^2.
Bond [772]

Answer:

ax = -3.29[m/s²]

ay = -1.9[m/s²]

Explanation:

We must remember that acceleration is a vector and therefore has magnitude and direction.

In this case, it is accelerating downwards, therefore for a greater understanding we will make a diagram of said vector, this diagram is attached.

a_{x}=-3.8*cos(30) = -3.29 [m/s^{2}]\\ a_{y}=-3.8*sin(30) = -1.9 [m/s^{2}]

pentagon [3]

Answer:

4.8mph

Explanation:

Speed= Distance/time

Speed= 26.2/5.5

= 4.76mph

( To the nearest tenth ) = 4.8mph

If the pressure on an ideal gas is increased, what will happen to the volume of the gas?
iogann1982 [59]
<span>B). it will decrease. 

But, you should keep the temperature constant, 'cause according to Boyle's law, pressure of the ideal gases is indirectly proportional to it's volume but at constant temperature. So, don't confuse in that.

Hope this helps!

Calculate V1 and V2 ( V = voltage )
Kitty [74]

FORMULA:

  • V = IR, where V = P.D; I = Current; R = Resistance.

ANSWER:

Total equivalent resistance for circuit:

R(eq) = R1 + R2 [It is in series]

  • 330Ω + 470Ω
  • 800Ω

Now, Current passing through whole circuit:

I = V/R

  • 16/800
  • 1/50 ampere

We know that, In series combination current passing through whole circuit is same.

So, V¹ = IR¹

V¹ = 1/50 × 330

  • V¹ = 6.6 volt

And V² = IR²

V² = 1/50 × 470

  • V² = 9.4 volt
