A spring with force constant of 59 N/m is compressed by 1.3 cm in a hockey game machine. The compressed spring is used to accele

rate a small metal "puck" with mass 39.2 grams which will then slide up an inclined surface inside the machine. Assume friction is so tiny it may be ignored in this problem. How high in cm above its initial vertical position will the puck rise before stopping (momentarily at least)? Note: Convert units as necessary.

Answer:

The puck moves a vertical height of 2.6 cm before stopping

Explanation:

As the puck is accelerated by the spring, the kinetic energy of the puck equals the elastic potential energy of the spring.

So, 1/2mv² = 1/2kx² where m = mass of puck = 39.2 g = 0.0392 g, v = velocity of puck, k = spring constant = 59 N/m and x = compression of spring = 1.3 cm = 0.013 cm.

Now, since the puck has an initial velocity, v before it slides up the inclined surface, its loss in kinetic energy equals its gain in potential energy before it stops. So

1/2mv² = mgh where h = vertical height puck moves and g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s².

Substituting the kinetic energy of the puck for the potential energy of the spring, we have

1/2kx² = mgh

h = kx²/2mg

= 59 N/m × (0.013 m)²/(0.0392 kg × 9.8 m/s²)

= 0.009971 Nm/0.38416 N

= 0.0259 m

= 2.59 cm

≅ 2.6 cm

So the puck moves a vertical height of 2.6 cm before stopping

Calculate ine gravitational potential energy of the ball using pe=m×g×h.(use g=9.8 n/kg)
Neko [114]

Answer:

58.8J

Explanation:

Given parameters;

Mass of ball  = 4kg

Height above the floor  = 1.5m

g  = 9.8n/kg

Unknown:

Potential energy  = ?

Solution:

The potential energy of a body is the energy due to the position of the body.

It is mathematically expressed as:

  Potential energy = mass x acceleration due to gravity x height

  Potential energy  = 4 x 9.8 x 1.5  = 58.8J

If an object moves twice as fast how do you think its energy changes? halves
il63 [147K]

Answer:

If an object moves twice as fast its kinetic energy quadruples.

Explanation:

The kinetic energy (K₁) of a body of mass (m) that moves with speed (v) is:

K₁= 1/2 * m* v²

If we double the speed of the body, its kinetic energy (K₂) will be:

K₂= 1/2 * m*( 2v)²

K₂= 1/2 * m* 4 *v²

K₂= 4(1/2 * m *v²)

K₂= 4*K₁

What quantities are related by Ohm's law? Check all that apply. voltage conductivity current resistance insulation
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer: Current, resistance and voltage are the quantities which are related by Ohm's law.

Explanation:

A law which states that electric current is directly proportional to voltage and inversely proportional to resistance is called Ohm's law.

Mathematically, it is represented as follows.

I = \frac{V}{R}

where,

I = current

V = voltage

R = resistance

This means that the quantities related by Ohm's law include current, voltage and resistance.

Thus, we can conclude that current, resistance and voltage are the quantities which are related by Ohm's law.

Explain how friction keeps a nail in place in a block of wood. If you try pull out the nail which way does friction act?
Bess [88]

Answer:

Opposite to the direction that you are pulling

Explanation:

Static friction acts in the opposite direction to the acceleration.

Kinetic friction acts in the opposite direction to the velocity.
