Take for example driving by with a cake in your hand, then dropping it while going 30 mph. It will not drop directly down, it will gradually go in the direction you were driving while falling.
This is true I believe, if I'm interpreting correctly.

Which statement correctly describes why a compound is a pure substance?

ad-work [718]

Explanation:

A compound is a pure substance composed of two or more different atoms chemically bonded to one another. A compound can be destroyed by chemical means. It might be broken down into simpler compounds, into its elements or a combination of the two.

If a single constant force acts on an object that moves on a straight line, the object's velocity is a linear function of time.

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

$F=mkv$

Explanation:

Given that

$v = v_i - kx$

We know that acceleration a given as

$a=\dfrac{dv}{dt}$

$v = v_i - kx$

$\dfrac{dv}{dt}=\dfrac{dv_i}{dt}-k\dfrac{dx}{dt}$

$\dfrac{dv}{dt}=0-k\dfrac{dx}{dt}$

We know that

$F=m\dfrac{dv}{dt}$

$F=-mk\dfrac{dx}{dt}$

$F=-mkv$

So the magnitude of force F

$F=mkv$

A 5.30kg block hangs from a spring with a spring constant 1700 N/m. The block is pulled down 4.50cm from the equilibrium positio

Andru [333]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the frequency in a spring, the conservation of energy and the total mechanical energy in the body (kinetic or potential as the case may be)

PART A) By definition the frequency in a spring is given by the equation

$f = \frac{1}{2\pi} \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$

Where,

m = mass

k = spring constant

Our values are,

k=1700N/m

m=5.3 kg

Replacing,

$f = \frac{1}{2\pi} \sqrt{\frac{1700}{5.3}}$

$f=2.85 Hz$

PART B) To solve this section it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the conservation of energy both potential (simple harmonic) and kinetic in the spring.

$\frac{1}{2}kA^2 = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 + \frac{1}{2} kY^2$

Where,

k = Spring constant

m = mass

y = Vertical compression

v = Velocity

This expression is equivalent to,

$kA^2 =mV^2 +ky^2$

Our values are given as,

k=1700 N/m

V=1.70 m/s

y=0.045m

m=5.3 kg

Replacing we have,

$1700*A^2=5.3*1.7^2 +1700*(0.045)^2$

Solving for A,

$A^2 = \frac{5.3*1.7^2 +1700*(0.045)^2}{1700}$

$A ^2 = 0.011035$

$A=0.105 m \approx 10.5 cm$

PART C) Finally, the total mechanical energy is given by the equation

$E = \frac{1}{2}kA^2$

$E=\frac{1}{2}1700*(0.105)^2$

$E= 9.3712 J$

Two trains traveling towards one another on a straight track are 300m apart when the engineers on both trains become aware of th

sattari [20]

Answer:

48 m

Explanation:

Two trains traveling towards one another on a straight track are 300m apart when the engineers on both trains become aware of the impending Collision and hit their brakes. The eastbound train, initially moving at 97.0 km/h Slows down at 3.50ms^2. The westbound train, initially moving at 127 km/h slows down at 4.20 m/s^2.

The eastbound train

First convert km/h to m/s

(97 × 1000)/3600

97000/3600

26.944444 m/s

As the train is decelerating, final velocity V = 0 and acceleration a will be negative. Using third equation of motion

V^2 = U^2 - 2as

O = 26.944^2 - 2 × 3.5 S

726 = 7S

S = 726/7

S1 = 103.7 m

The westbound train

Convert km/h to m/s

(127×1000)/3600

127000/3600

35.2778 m/s

Using third equation of motion

V^2 = U^2 - 2as

0 = 35.2778^2 - 2 × 4.2 × S

1244.52 = 8.4S

S = 1244.52/8.4

S2 = 148.2 m

S1 + S2 = 103.7 + 148.2 = 251.86

The distance between them once they stop will be

300 - 251.86 = 48.14 m

Therefore, the distance between them once they stop is 48 metres approximately.
