A 1300 kg car starts at rest and rolls down a hill from a height of 10.0 m. It then moves across a

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

0.51 m

Explanation:

Using the principle of conservation of energy, change in potential energy equals to the change in kinetic energy of the spring.

Kinetic energy, KE=½kx²

Where k is spring constant and x is the compression of spring

Potential energy, PE=mgh

Where g is acceleration due to gravity, h is height and m is mass

Equating KE=PE

mgh=½kx²

Making x the subject of formula

$x=\sqrt {\frac {2mgh}{k}}$

Substituting 9.81 m/s² for g, 1300 kg for m, 10m for h and 1000000 for k then

$x=\sqrt \frac {2*1300*9.81*10}{1000000}=0.50503465227646m\\x\approx 0.51 m$

When a wave is acted upon by an external damping force what happens to the energy of the wave

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

A-the energy of the wave decreases gradually

Explanation:

when a wave is acted upon by an external damping force the energy of the wave decreases gradually.

The energy degrades into the form of heat which is considered to be of less value and use. The reason is because it disperses and spreads more widely.

So therefore it end up as heat with a little sound but that is close to none because that too disperses into heat i.e. decreased form of energy.

What mass of ice (in g) can be melted if 27.2 kJ of thermal energy are added at the freezing point? Use molar mass = 18.02 g/mol

san4es73 [151]

Answer : The mass of ice melted can be, 3.98 grams.

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the moles of ice.

$Q=\frac{\Delta H}{n}$

where,

Q = energy absorbed = 27.2 kJ

$\Delta H$ = enthalpy of fusion of ice = 6.01 kJ/mol

n = moles = ?

Now put all the given values in the above expression, we get:

$27.2kJ=\frac{6.01kJ/mol}{n}$

$n=0.221mol$

Now we have to calculate the mass of ice.

$\text{Mass of ice}=\text{Moles of ice}\times \text{Molar mass of ice}$

Molar mass of ice = 18.02 g/mol

$\text{Mass of ice}=0.221mol\times 18.02g/mol=3.98g$

Thus, the mass of ice melted can be, 3.98 grams.
