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

How are the wavelengths of light emitted?
Stolb23 [73]
Wavelengths of light are emitted when an electron is coming from an energized state back to its initial state. The energy that is omitted comes in the form of the wavelength. I'm not completely sure if this is totally the way to say it, but it is what I remember from chem last year.

irga5000 [103]

Answer:

 the statement is False       \frac{x_{ball} }{ x_{rec} } = cos θ

Explanation:

Let's analyze this problem, the ball and the receiver leave the same point and we want to know if at the same moment they reach the same point, for this we must have both the ball and the receiver travel the same distance.

Let's start by finding the time it takes for the ball to reach the ground

        y = v_{oy} t - ½ g t²

when it reaches the ground its height is y = 0

       0 = vo sin θ  - ½ g t²

       0 = t (vo sin θ - ½ g t)

The results are

       t = 0                             exit point

       t = 2 v₀ sin θ/g            arrival point

at this point the ball traveled

       x_{ball}= v₀ₓ t

       x_{ball} = v₀ cos θ  2v₀ sin θ / g

       x_{ball}= 2 v₀² cos θ   sin θ/ g

Now let's find that distantica traveled the receiver in time

        x_{rec} = v₀ t

        x_{rec} = v₀ (2 v₀ sin θ / g)

        x_{rec} = 2 v₀² sin θ / g

without dividing this into two distances

          \frac{x_{ball} }{ x_{rec} } = cos θ

therefore the distances are not equal to the ball as long as behind the receiver

Therefore the statement is False

An unfortunate astronaut loses his grip during a spacewalk and finds himself floating away from the space station, carrying only
Pavel [41]

Answer:

vb = 22.13 m/s

Explanation:

ma = 124 kg

mb = 13 kg

vi = 2.10 m/s

According to the property of conservation of momentum, and considering that, initially, both the astronaut and the bag moved together at 2.10 m/s:

(m_a+m_b)v_i=m_av_a+m_bv_b

The minimum final velocity of the bag, vb, the will keep the astronaut from drifting away forever occurs when va = 0:

(124+13)2.10=124*0+13v_b\\v_b=\frac{287.7}{13}\\v_b= 22.13\ m/s

The minimum final velocity of the bag is 22.13 m/s.

What is the deceleration (in m/s2) of a rocket sled if it comes to rest in 1.7 s from a speed of 1020 km/h? (Such deceleration c
fgiga [73]

Answer:

40.47m/s²

Explanation:

Acceleration is the change in velocity of a body with respect to time.

Acceleration = change in velocity/time

Given speed = 1020km/hr

Time = 1.7s

Converting 1020km/hr to m/s we have;

(1020×1000/3600)m/s

= 1,020,000/3,600

= 283.3m/s

Acceleration = 283.3/7

Acceleration = 40.47m/s²

Deceleration is therefore 40.47m/s²
