A 3 kg mass object is pushed 0.6 m into a spring with spring constant 210 N/m on a frictionless horizontal surface. Upon release

, the object moves across the surface until it encounters a rough incline. The object moves UP the incline and stops a height of 1.5 m above the horizontal surface.
(a) How much work must be done to compress the spring initially?
(b) Compute the speed of the mass at the base of the incline.
(c) How much work was done by friction on the incline?

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of spring,m=3 kg

Distance moved by object,d=0.6 m

Spring constant,k=210N/m

Height,h=1.5 m

a.Work done  to compress the spring initially=\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{2}(210)(0.6)^2=37.8J

b.

By conservation law of energy

Initial energy of spring=Kinetic energy  of object

37.8=\frac{1}{2}(3)v^2

v^2=\frac{37.8\times 2}{3}

v=\sqrt{\frac{37.8\times 2}{3}}

v=5.02 m/s

c.Work done by friction on the incline,w_{friction}=P.E-spring \;energy

W_{friction}=3\times 9.8\times 1.5-37.8=6.3 J

The Hoover dam is a hydroelectric power plant that converts the energy of falling water into electricity. Which of the following
vlabodo [156]

The correct answer to the question is : B) The weight of the water, and C) The height of the water.

EXPLANATION :

Before coming into any conclusion, first we have to understand potential energy of a body.

The potential energy of a body due to its position from ground is known as gravitational potential energy.

The gravitational potential energy is calculated as -

                      Potential energy P.E = mgh

 Here, m is the mass of the body, and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

h stands for the height of the body from the ground.

We know that weight of a body is equal to the product of mass with acceleration due to gravity.

Hence, weight W = mg

Hence, potential energy is written as P.E = weight × height.

Hence, potential energy depends on the weight and height of the water.

In a circuit, a variable resistor is to be connected across a potential difference of 60 volts to allow the current to be adjust
sweet [91]

Answer:

600 and 1500 [ohm

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use ohm's law, which tells us that the voltage is the product of the current by the resistance, so we have:

V = I*R

where:

V = voltage [V]

I = current [amp]

R = resistance [ohm]

<u>Therefore:</u>

R = V/I

R1 = 60/(40*10^-3) = 1500 [ohm]

R2 = 60/(100*10^-3) = 600 [ohm]

So the resistance should be among 600 and 1500 [ohm]

What is the lowest temperature possible
dimulka [17.4K]

At the physically impossible-to-reach temperature of zero kelvin, or minus 459.67 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 273.15 degrees Celsius), atoms would stop moving. As such, nothing can be colder than absolute zero on the Kelvin scale.
