A compressed spring has elastic potential energy. Please select the best answer from the choices provided T F

Physics
1 answer:
riadik2000 [5.3K]3 years ago

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

Atomic mass for oxygen
masya89 [10]

Answer:

16

Explanation:

The atomic mass of an element is defined as the average of the isotopic masses, weighted according to the naturally occurring abundances of the isotopes of the element. Although oxygen has nine isotopes with mass numbers ranging from 13 to 21, oxygen-13, oxygen-14 and oxygen-15 are not naturally occurring isotopes. So, we do not need to include them when we calculate the relative atomic mass of oxygen.

A simple pendulum is used to determine the acceleration due to gravity at the surface of a planet. The pendulum has a length of
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

Acceleration due to gravity is 20 m/sec^2

So option (E) will be correct answer

Explanation:

We have given length of the pendulum l = 2 m

Time period of the pendulum T = 2 sec

We have to find acceleration due to gravity g

We know that time period of pendulum is given by

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}

2=2\times 3.14 \sqrt{\frac{2}{g}}

0.3184= \sqrt{\frac{2}{g}}

Squaring both side

0.1014= {\frac{2}{g}}

g=19.71=20m/sec^2

So acceleration due to gravity is 20 m/sec^2

So option (E) will be correct answer.

The motion described here is a projectile motion which is characterized by an arc-shaped direction of motion. There are already derived equations for this type of motions as listed:

Hmax = v₀²sin²θ/2g
t = 2v₀sinθ/g
y = xtanθ + gx²/(2v₀²cos²θ)

where

Hmax = max. height reached by the object in a projectile motion
θ=angle of inclination
v₀= initial velocity
t = time of flight
x = horizontal range
y = vertical height

Part A. 

Hmax = v₀²sin²θ/2g = (30²)(sin 33°)²/2(9.81)
Hmax = 13.61 m

Part B. In this part, we solve the velocity when it almost reaches the ground. Approximately, this is equal to y = 28.61 m and x = 31.91 m. In projectile motion, it is important to note that there are two component vectors of motion: the vertical and horizontal components. In the horizontal component, the motion is in constant speed or zero acceleration. On the other hand, the vertical component is acting under constant acceleration. So, we use the two equations of rectilinear motion:

y = v₀t + 1/2 at²
28.61 = 30(t) + 1/2 (9.81)(t²)
t = 0.839 seconds

a = (v₁-v₀)/t
9.81 = (v₁ - 30)/0.839
v₁ = 38.23 m/s

Part C. 
y = xtanθ + gx²/(2v₀²cos²θ)
Hmax + 15 = xtanθ + gx²/(2v₀²cos²θ)
13.61 + 15 = xtan33° + (9.81)x²/[2(30)²(cos33°)²]
Solving using a scientific calculator,
x = 31.91 m
