Answer:

k =  5.05 N/m

Explanation:

In order to calculate the spring mass of the system, you use the following formula:

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}     (1)

T: period of oscillation of the system

m: mass of the air-track glider = 200g = 0.200 kg

k: spring constant = ?

You first calculate the period of oscillation:

T=\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{12/15.0s}=1.25s

Next, you solve the equation (1) for k, and then you replace the values of the other parmateres:

k=4\pi^2 \frac{m}{T^2}\\\\k=4\pi^2 \frac{0.200kg}{(1.25s)^2}=5.05\frac{N}{m}

The spring constant of the spring is 5.05 N/m

Which means for obtaining hydrogen from water would require the most energy??
Flauer [41]
I think the correct answer would be to electrolyze water (run an electric current through it) to decompose it into hydrogen and oxygen. Assuming 100% efficiency, it is said that it needs about 40kWh per kilogram of water to fully decompose it.

In a 350-m race, runner A starts from rest and accelerates at 1.6 m/s^2 for the first 30 m and then runs at constant speed. Runn
kifflom [539]

Answer:

B can take 0.64 sec for the longest nap .

Explanation:

Given that,

Total distance = 350 m

Acceleration of A = 1.6 m/s²

Distance = 30 m

Acceleration of B = 2.0 m/s²

We need to calculate the time for A

Using equation of motion

s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at_{A}^2

Put the value in the equation

30=0+\dfrac{1}{2}\times1.6\times t_{A}^2

t_{A}=\sqrt{\dfrac{30\times2}{1.6}}

t_{A}=6.12\ sec

We need to calculate the time for B

Using equation of motion

s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at_{B}^2

Put the value in the equation

30=0+\dfrac{1}{2}\times2.0\times t_{B}^2

t_{B}=\sqrt{\dfrac{30\times2}{2.0}}

t_{B}=5.48\ sec

We need to calculate the time for longest nap

Using formula for difference of time

t'=t_{A}-t_{B}

t'=6.12-5.48

t'=0.64\ s

Hence, B can take 0.64 sec for the longest nap .

Mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic and potential energy in an object. It is energy in an object due to its motion, position
german
Mechanical energy is made when something is moved. The energy that is moving is kinetic. And potential energy is stored energy. Mechanical energy can be used to store energy and to cause moving energy. For instance: a slingshot. Pulling back the band creates potential energy and releasing it creates kinetic energy.
