In 0.601 s, a 13.1-kg block is pulled through a distance of 4.19 m on a frictionless horizontal surface, starting from rest. The

block has a constant acceleration and is pulled by means of a horizontal spring that is attached to the block. The spring constant of the spring is 494 N/m. By how much does the spring stretch

Answer:

0.615 m

Explanation:

We need to determine the force on the spring first. By Newton's second law of motion, force is the product of the mass and acceleration. The mass is given.

The acceleration is determined using the equation of motion.

Given parameters:

Initial velocity, <em>u</em> = 0.00 m/s

Distance, <em>s</em> = 4.19 m

Time, <em>t</em> = 0.601 s

We use the equation

s = ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

With <em>u</em> = 0.00 m/s,

s = \frac{1}{2}at^2

a = \dfrac{2s}{t^2}

a = \dfrac{2\times4.19\text{ m}}{(0.601\text{ s})^2} = 23.2\text{ m/s}^2

The force is

F = (13.1\text{ kg})(23.2\text{ m/s}^2) = 303.92 \text{ N}

From Hooke's law, the extension, <em>e</em>, of a string is given by

e = \dfrac{F}{k}

where <em>k</em> is the spring constant.

Hence,

e = \dfrac{303.92\text{ N}}{494\text{ N/m}} = 0.615\text{ m}

What body systems help these cells get the energy they need?
MakcuM [25]

The body systems that help cells get the energy they need are the digestive system and circulatory system. The first system is the digestive system because when you eat food, your body breaks it down using the stomach and other different parts of the digestive system.  The next one is the circulatory system because your blood carries the nutrients you acquired from food you digested to the cells throughout your body.

What might cause convection currents in a hot spring?
Aleks [24]

Answer and explanation;

-The cause of convention currents in a hot spring is rainwater and melted snow is cool and denser and sinks to the bottom of the hot spring where it is heated by a shallow magma chamber. The heated water expands and is less dense and rises to the top.

Explanation;

-Convention Current is the movement of fluid caused by the differences in temperature. Transference of heat from one part of a fluid to another.

-Lighter (less dense), warm material rises while heavier (more dense) cool material sinks. It is this movement that creates circulation patterns known as convection currents in the atmosphere, in water, and in the mantle of Earth. In the atmosphere, as air warms it rises, allowing cooler air to flow in underneath.
