Velocity is the speed with a direction and speed does not have a specific direction

Well the difference between velocity and speed would be that velocity is basically speed with a direction with a vector assisting with it... and Speed would be distance traveled... I hoped that this helped. :)<span />

A 0.750 kg block is attached to a spring with spring constant 17.5 N/m. While the block is sitting at rest, a student hits it wi
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

a

 A =  0.081 \  m

b

The value is  u =  0.2569 \  m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The mass is  m  =  0.750 \ kg

   The spring constant is  k  =  17.5 \  N/m

    The instantaneous speed is  v  =  39.0 \  cm/s= 0.39 \  m/s

    The position consider is  x =  0.750A  meters from equilibrium point

   

Generally from the law of  energy conservation we have that

        The kinetic energy induced by the hammer  =  The energy stored in the spring

So

          \frac{1}{2} *  m * v^2  =  \frac{1}{2}  *  k  *  A^2

Here a is the amplitude of the subsequent oscillations

=>      A =  \sqrt{\frac{m *  v^ 2 }{ k} }

=>      A =  \sqrt{\frac{0.750 *  0.39 ^ 2 }{17.5} }

=>       A =  0.081 \  m

Generally from the law of  energy conservation we have that

The kinetic energy  by the hammer  =  The energy stored in the spring at the point considered   +   The kinetic energy at the considered point

             \frac{1}{2}  * m *  v^2 = \frac{1}{2}  * k x^2 + \frac{1}{2}  * m *  u^2

=>          \frac{1}{2}  * 0.750 *  0.39^2 = \frac{1}{2}  * 17.5* 0.750(0.081 )^2 + \frac{1}{2}  * 0.750 *  u^2

=>          u =  0.2569 \  m/s

The famous scientist Galileo Galilei did several experiments with sloping planes, which he rolled metal balls down so that he co
KatRina [158]
Hi there!

The answer would be B. the slope of the plane.

Changing the slope of the plane would show how fast the ball went when Galileo changed the steepness of the slope. If he didn’t change the slopes steepness he would have the same results each time.

Hope this helps !

A 2000-kg car moving with a speed of 20 m/s collides with and sticks to a 1500-kg car at rest at a stop sign. Show that because
amid [387]

Answer:

13.33m/s

Explanation:

Given data

m1= 2000kg

u1= 20m/s

m2= 1500kg

u2= 0m/s

v1= 10m/s

Required

The speed of the sticks

We know that  from the expression for the conservation of momentum

m1u1+m2u2= m1v1+m2v2

2000*20+1500*0=2000*10+1500*v2

40000=20000+1500v2

collect like terms

40000-20000= 1500v2

20000= 1500v2

v2= 20000/1500

v2= 13.33 m/s

Hence the velocity of the sticks is 13.33m/s
