A 0.01-kg object is initially sliding at 9.0 m/s. It goes up a ramp (increasing its elevation by 1.5 m), and then moves horizont

ally before striking a spring of force constant k = 100 N/m. The spring is compressed by 5.0 cm as it completely stops the object.

Answer:

During this motion, 0.133 J of heat energy was created

Explanation:

Hi there!

Let´s calculate the energy of the object in each phase of the motion.

At first, the object has only kinetic energy (KE):

KE = 1/2 · m · v²

Where:

m = mass of the object.

v = velocity.

KE = 1/2 · 0.01 kg · (9 m/s)²

KE = 0.405 J

When the object goes up the ramp, it gains some gravitational potential energy (PE). Due to the conservation of energy, the object must convert some of its kinetic energy to obtain potential energy. By calculating the potential energy that the object acquires, we can know the loss of kinetic energy:

PE = m · g · h

Where:

m = mass of the object.

g = acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s²)

h = height.

PE = 0.01 kg · 9.81 m/s² · 1.5 m

PE = 0.147 J

The object "gives up" 0.147 J of kinetic energy to be converted into potential energy.

Then, after going up the ramp, the kinetic energy of the object will be:

0.405 J - 0.147 J = 0.258 J

When the object reaches the spring, kinetic energy is used to compress the spring and the object obtains elastic potential energy (EPE). Let´s calculate the EPE obtained by the object:

EPE = 1/2 · k · x²

Where:

k = spring constant.

x = compression of the spring

EPE = 1/2 · 100 N/m · (0.05 m)² = 0.125 J

Then, only 0.125 J of kinetic energy was converted into elastic potential energy. The object is at rest at the end of the motion, i.e., the object does not have kinetic energy when it compresses the spring by 5.0 cm. Since energy can´t be lost, the rest of the kinetic energy, that was not used to compress the spring, had to be converted into heat energy:

Heat energy = initial kinetic energy - obtained elastic potential energy

Heat energy = 0.258 J - 0.125 J = 0.133 J

During this motion, 0.133 J of heat energy was created.

Which describes a scientist being creative?
AleksandrR [38]

Answer: Sara tries turning a test tube upside down to collect a gas.

A scientist is considered to be creative when he approaches a problem with new different ways. The conventional way is to design an experiment and take detailed notes, reading referenced studies previously done. Sara tries turning a test tube upside down to collect a gas is a creative way as Sara tries something different.

How does the mass of an object affect the outcome when an unbalanced force acts on it?
Verdich [7]

Answer:

The magnitude of acceleration is reduced.

Explanation:

Force is defined as push or pull

The force is said to be<em> balance force  </em>if the force are equal in size but opposite in direction. ie the object does not move or move with constant speed.

The force are to be<em> unbalanced force </em>if the force cause change in motion. ie the object has force greater than zero and has acceleration.

According to <em>Newton second law of motion </em>, acceleration depends on force acting on the object and mass of object.

     F=ma

     a=\frac{F}{m}

When unbalanced force act on the mass of object it reduces magnitude of acceleration without changing the direction.
