Answer:

Explanation:

Formula to calculate the distance between two points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ is,

d = $\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

Therefore, length of CD having coordinates C(3,1) and D(3, 3),

CD = $\sqrt{(3-3)^2+(1-3)^2}$

= 2 units

Formula to find the midpoint of CD is,

M = $(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2})$

= $(\frac{3+3}{2},\frac{1+3}{2})$

= (3, 2)

Therefore, length of CD = 2 units and (3, 2) are the coordinates of the midpoint of CD.

A spring with spring-constant of 100 n/m is compressed 0.10 m. what is its maximum stored elastic potential energy

Ganezh [65]

Elastic potential energy stored in a spring is

(1/2) · (spring constant) · (stretch or compress)² .

PE = (1/2) · (100 N/m) · (0.1 m)²

PE = (50 N/m) · (0.01 m²)

PE = (50 · 0.01) (N · m / m²)

PE = 0.5 N · m

PE = 0.5 Joule

A car of m = 1200. kg collides with a tree while traveling 60.0 mph. The collision occurs over a time period of 0.0500 seconds.

MrRissso [65]

You may know linear momentum is given by P= mass.velocity. Initially car is moving with some velocity so you know initial momentum of the car. Finally it comes to rest i.e final momentum of the car is 0. According to Newton's second law : Force = change in momentum /time. Applying this you'll get answer as 642840N. Hope it helped you. Revert back to me if you have any questions. Please check out the calculation it might be wrong!

A student team is to design a human powered submarine for a design competition. The overall length of the prototype submarine is

Allushta [10]

Answer:

a) The speed is 61.42 m/s

b) The drag force is 10.32 N

Explanation:

a) The Reynold´s number for the model and prototype is:

$Re_{m} =\frac{p_{m}V_{m}L_{m} }{u_{m} }$

$Re_{p} =\frac{p_{p}V_{p}L_{p} }{u_{p} }$

Equaling both Reynold's number:

$\frac{p_{p}V_{p}L_{p} }{u_{p} }=\frac{p_{m}V_{m}L_{m} }{u_{m} }$

Clearing Vm:

$V_{m} =\frac{p_{p}V_{p}L_{p} u_{m} }{u_{p} p_{m} L_{m} }=\frac{999.1*0.56*8*1.849x10^{-5} }{1.138x10^{-3}*1.184*1 } =61.42m/s$

b) The drag force is:

$\frac{F_{Dm} }{p_{m}V_{m}^{2}L_{m}^{2} } =\frac{F_{Dp} }{p_{p}V_{p}^{2}L_{p}^{2} } \\F_{Dp} =\frac{F_{Dp}p_{p}V_{p}^{2}L_{p}^{2} }{p_{m}V_{m}^{2}L_{m}^{2} } \\F_{Dp}=\frac{2.3*999.1*0.56^{2} *8^{2} }{1.184*61.42^{2}*1^{2} } =10.32N$

If a person pulls back a rubber band on a slingshot without letting to go of it, what type of energy will the rubber band have?

Travka [436]

Answer:

Potential energy. Releasing it, the potential energy would convert into motion, kinetic energy.

Potential energy is when an object has some sort of potential eg. for motion such as in this example.
