When you used the energy in our body to pull the rubber band, it was transformed into elastic potential energy. We know that ene

rgy is not created or destroyed, but 100% of the elastic potential energy was not turned into mechanical energy of the rocket. Explain what you think happened to the rest of the elastic potential energy

Answer:

Converted to heat energy

Explanation:

Some of the elastic potential energy is transformed into heat energy. When we stretch a rubber band, it is often observed that the rubber becomes warmer after the stretch and even during the stretch.

Some energy in the band initially at rest will be converted into elastic potential energy and heat energy as it is stretched .

  • The heat energy is not usually accounted for since the major concern most times is the elastic energy.
  • In this process, heat energy becomes a waste energy.
  • By deducing the efficiency, we would find that this transformation is not efficient as predicted by one of the laws of thermodynamics.

When a mass of 0.350 kg is attached to a vertical spring and lowered slowly, the spring stretches 12.0 cm. The mass is now displ
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

period of oscillations is 0.695 second

Explanation:

given data

mass m = 0.350 kg

spring stretches x = 12 cm = 0.12 m

to find out

period of oscillations

solution

we know here that force

force = k × x   .........1

so force = mg =  0.35 (9.8)  = 3.43 N

3.43 = k × 0.12

k = 28.58 N/m

so period of oscillations is

period of oscillations = 2π × \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }   ................2

put here value

period of oscillations = 2π × \sqrt{\frac{0.35}{28.58} }  

period of oscillations = 0.6953

so period of oscillations is 0.695 second

Need Help with this physics question, just a written response
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

According to Newton's third law, every action has an equal and opposite reaction

so it tells us that the force exerted by the earth on the spacecraft is equal to the force exerted by the spacecraft on the earth. But we do not see the earth moving towards the spacecraft because the inertia of the spacecraft is very less than the inertia of the earth.

A bolt is dropped from a bridge under construction, falling 94 m to the valley below the bridge. (a) how much time does it take
gregori [183]
Refer to the diagram shown below.

When the bolt is dropped at a height of 94 m, its initial velocity, V, is zero.
The last 26% of its fall is at a height of 0.26*94 = 24.4 m.
At that time, the bolt has fallen by 94 - 24.4 = 69.56 m.

The time, t, for the bolt to fall a known distance obeys the equation 
s = Vt + (1/2)gt²,
where
s = 69.56 m, vertical distance traveled, and
g = acceleration due to gravity.

Therefore
69.56 = 0 + (1/2)*9.8*t²
t² = (69.56*2)/9.8
t = 3.7677 s

The total time, T, to fall 94 m is given by 
94 = (1/2)*9.8*T^2
T² = 19.1837
T = 4.38 s

The time taken to pass through the last 26% of its fall is
T - t = 4.38 - 3.7677 = 0.6122 s

The speed after falling 69.56 m is given by
V₁ = 0 + g*t = 36.9235 m/s

The speed with which the bolt strikes the ground is given by
V₂ = 0 +g*T = 9.8*4.38 = 42.924 m/s

Answer:
(a) The bolt takes 0.6122 s to pass through the last 26% of its fall.
(b) When the bolt begins the last 26% of its fall, its speed is 36.92 m/s (nearest hundredth).
(c) Just before it strikes the ground, the speed of the bolt is 42.94 m/s (nearest hundredth).
