Answer:
The maximum height the box will reach is 1.72 m
Explanation:
F = k·x
Where
F = Force of the spring
k = The spring constant = 300 N/m
x = Spring compression or stretch = 0.15 m
Therefore the force, F of the spring = 300 N/m×0.15 m = 45 N
Mass of box = 0.2 kg
Work, W, done by the spring = 
and the kinetic energy gained by the box is given by KE = 
Since work done by the spring = kinetic energy gained by the box we have
= therefore we have v = 
= 
= 
= 5.81 m/s
Therefore the maximum height is given by
v² = 2·g·h or h = 
= 
= 1.72 m
Is this a multiple choice question? Or would you just like me to state generally the greatest influence over how big a baby elephant will grow ?
Gravity adds 9.8 m/s to the speed of a falling object every second.
An object dropped from 'rest' (v = 0) reaches the speed of 78.4 m/s after falling for (78.4 / 9.8) = <em>8.0 seconds</em> .
<u>Note:</u>
In order to test this, you'd have to drop the object from a really high cell- tower, building, or helicopter. After falling for 8 seconds and reaching a speed of 78.4 m/s, it has fallen 313.6 meters (1,029 feet) straight down.
The flat roof of the Aon Center . . . the 3rd highest building in Chicago, where I used to work when it was the Amoco Corporation Building . . . is 1,076 feet above the street.
Answer/Explanation:
The weight of an object is defined as the force that is exerted due to the gravitational force.
Mathematically, it can be written as :
W = m g
Where
m is the mass of the object
g is the acceleration due to gravity
Also,
We know that the value of g varies with respect to the location. At the equator, the value of g is less as compared to the poles.
The feature of an object that affects its weight are :
Mass of the object
Location of the object
How much force Earth exerts on the object
