Answer: True

Explanation:

As the spring is compressed, it acumulates energy, and the spring "wants to release that energy". This acumulated energy, (potential energy) is called "elastic potential energy" because of the elastical nature of the spring, that when compressed it wants to return to the original shape. So the sentence is true

Jose is loading his luggage into his car so that he can go to visit his grandmother. He lifts his suitcase up a 10 m staircase i

maxonik [38]

Answer:

The work done on the suitcase is, W = 600 J

Explanation:

Given,

The average force exerted by Jose on his suitcase, F = 60 N

Jose carried the suitcase to a distance, S = 10 m

The work done on the suitcase is given by the relation

Substituting the given values in the above equation,

W = 60 N x 10 m

= 600 J

Hence, the work done on the suitcase is, W = 600 J

510 g squirrel with a surface area of 935 cm2 falls from a 4.8-m tree to the ground. Estimate its terminal velocity. (Use the dr

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

The terminal velocity is $v_t =17.5 \ m/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of the squirrel is $m_s = 50\ g = \frac{50}{1000} = 0.05 \ kg$

The surface area is $A_s = 935 cm^2 = \frac{935}{10000} = 0.0935 \ m^2$

The height of fall is h =4.8 m

The length of the prism is $l = 23.2 = 0.232 \ m$

The width of the prism is $w = 11.6 = 0.116 \ m$

The terminal velocity is mathematically represented as

$v_t = \sqrt{\frac{2 * m_s * g }{\dho_s * C * A } }$

Where $\rho$ is the density of a rectangular prism with a constant values of $\rho = 1.21 \ kg/m^3$

$C$ is the drag coefficient for a horizontal skydiver with a value = 1

A is the area of the prism the squirrel is assumed to be which is mathematically represented as

$A = 0.116 * 0.232$

$A = 0.026912 \ m^2$

substituting values

$v_t = \sqrt{\frac{2 * 0.510 * 9.8 }{1.21 * 1 * 0.026912 } }$

$v_t =17.5 \ m/s$

Please help answer question

nika2105 [10]

Answer:

C = 1.01

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass, m = 75 kg

The terminal velocity of the mass, $v_t=60\ m/s$

Area of cross section, $A=0.33\ m^2$

We need to find the drag coefficient. At terminal velocity, the weight is balanced by the drag on the object. So,

R = W

$\dfrac{1}{2}\rho CAv_t^2=mg$

Where

$\rho$ is the density of air = 1.225 kg/m³

C is drag coefficient

So,

$C=\dfrac{2mg}{\rho Av_t^2}\\\\C=\dfrac{2\times 75\times 9.8}{1.225\times 0.33\times (60)^2}\\\\C=1.01$

So, the drag coefficient is 1.01.
