Because Polaris known as the North Star does not rotate due to it's exact location so everything else rotates around it.

<span>The star Polaris is almost in line with the axis of earth. So when earth rotates it does not appear to rotate in circles.</span>

Dwight uses a spring (k = 70 N/m) on a horizontal surface to make a launcher for model cars. The spring is attached to a holder
kramer

Part A)

As we know that spring force is given by

F = kx

here x = stretch in the spring from natural length

So here  when spring reaches to its natural length

Force due to spring = 0

so acceleration = 0

Part b)

When spring is compressed from its natural length it will have elastic potential energy in it

so it is given by

U = \frac{1}{2}kx^2

now we know that there is no friction in it so maximum kinetic energy of the launcher must be equal to the elastic potential energy of the spring

KE = \frac{1}{2}kx^2

here we have

k = 70 N/m

x = 0.4 m

KE = \frac{1}{2}(70)(0.4)^2

KE = 5.6 J

Part c)

Now to find the speed we know that

KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2

5.6 = \frac{1}{2}0.3v^2

v = 6.11 m/s

so its speed is 6.11 m/s

Write some harms of friction.
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

Friction produces unnecessary heat leading to the wastage of energy. The force of friction acts in the opposite direction of motion, so friction slows down the motion of moving objects. Forest fires are caused due to the friction between tree branches. However, friction can also cause problems in a car. Friction between moving engine parts increases their temperature and causes the parts to wear down. Friction can be both harmful and helpful, so it may be necessary to decrease or increase friction.
