Answer:

(1) 3.0 dm

Explanation:

Due to the law of conservation of energy, the initial gravitational potential energy of the object will be all converted into elastic potential energy of the spring as the object hits the spring:

mgh = \frac{1}{2}kx^2

where

m = 4.0 kg is the mass of the object

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

h = 1.0 m is the initial height of the object

k = 850 N/m is the spring constant

x is the compression of the spring

Solving the equation for x, we find:

x=\sqrt{\frac{2mgh}{k}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(4.0 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(1.0 m)}{850 N/m}}=0.30 m=3.0 dm

An accelerating voltage
ki77a [65]
Accelerating voltage<span> is the difference in potential between the filament and the anode,and it can be varied between 5 KeV and 30 KeV on the S-500 and between 2 KeV and 30 KeV on the S-450. As the </span>voltage<span> is increased, the electrons travel with higher velocity and are more energetic.</span>

Lake Baikal in Siberia has a maximum depth of 1642 m. What is the water
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Explanation:

Fluid gauge pressure is:

P = ρgh

where ρ is the fluid density and h is the depth of the fluid.

P = (1000 kg/m³) (9.8 m/s²) (1642 m)

P = 16,091,600 Pa

Rounded to four significant figures, the gauge pressure is 16.09 MPa.

Ahmed fills a basket with shopping weighing 10 kg. How much work is being done on the shopping basket when he lifts it verticall
NISA [10]

The work done by the shopping basket is 147 J.

<h3>When is work said to be done?</h3>

Work is said to be done whenever a force moves an object through a certain distance.

The amount of work done on the shopping basket can be calculated using the formula below.

Formula:

  • W = mgh

Where:

  • W = Amount of work done by the basket
  • m = mass of the shopping basket
  • h = height of the shopping basket
  • g = acceleration due to gravity.

Form the question,

Given:

  • m = 10 kg
  • h = 1.5 m
  • g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 2

  • W = 10(1.5)(9.8)
  • W = 147 J.

Hence, The work done by the shopping basket is 147 J.

11. An object moves in circular path with constant speed
Temka [501]

Answer:

B. Is its acceleration constant

Explanation:

Uniform circular motion can be described as the motion of an object in a circle at a constant speed. As an object moves in a circle, it is constantly changing its direction. ... An object undergoing uniform circular motion is moving with a constant speed. Nonetheless, it is accelerating due to its change in direction.

Can the big bang's sound still be heard?
AleksandrR [38]
There is no sound in space because there is no medium to move it. However i think the big bang can still been seen in the form of background radiation but i am unsure.
