Answer:

The speed of the block before it strikes the floor is 0.217 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the block, m = 1.5 kg

height above the ground through the block was released, h = 2.4 mm = 2.4 x 10⁻³ m

The speed of the block before it strikes the floor will be maximum.

Let the speed of the block before it strikes the floor = v

Apply the principle of conservation of mechanical energy to determine the speed of the block.

K.E = P.E

¹/₂mv² = mgh

¹/₂v² = gh

v² = 2gh

v = √2gh

v = √(2 x 9.8 x 2.4 x 10⁻³)

v = 0.217 m/s

Therefore, the speed of the block before it strikes the floor is 0.217 m/s.

mixas84 [53]

Answer:

1.92 J

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass (m) = 200 Kg

Spring constant (K) = 10⁶ N/m

Workdone =?

Next, we shall determine the force exerted on the spring. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (m) = 200 Kg

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Force (F) =?

F = m × g

F = 200 × 9.8

F = 1960 N

Next we shall determine the extent to which the spring stretches. This can be obtained as follow:

Spring constant (K) = 10⁶ N/m

Force (F) = 1960 N

Extention (e) =?

F = Ke

1960 = 10⁶ × e

Divide both side by 10⁶

e = 1960 / 10⁶

e = 0.00196 m

Finally, we shall determine energy (Workdone) on the spring as follow:

Spring constant (K) = 10⁶ N/m

Extention (e) = 0.00196 m

Energy (E) =?

E = ½Ke²

E = ½ × 10⁶ × (0.00196)²

E = 1.92 J

Therefore, the Workdone on the spring is 1.92 J

hram777 [196]

Answer: The free ending nerves.

Explanation:

At our fingertips, we have a lot of sensory nerve endings, that give information about changes that occur at your skin.

Like touching something with a given texture, feeling pain, or noticing changes in temperature.

There are different types of nerve endings, particularly the ones responsible to detect pain, and temperature are the free nerve endings.

So Marcus may have the free nerve endings damaged.

A cat lies on the floor. can you say that no force acts on the cat? or is it correct to say that no net force acts on the cat? e
DIA [1.3K]

Odd though it seems at first, gravity is pulling the cat down while the floor is pushing the cat up - in equal amounts. Forces are absolutely acting on the cat but they balance - so there is no net force.

You drive on Interstate 10 from San Antonio to Houston, half the time at 75 km/h and the other half at 106 km/h. On the way back
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) from San Antonio to Houston let distance be d km .

Average speed = total distance / total time

time = distance / speed

Total time = (d / 2 x 75 ) +( d / 2 x 106 )

= .0067 d + .0047 d

= .0114 d

Average speed  = d / .0114 d = 87.72 km /h

b ) from Houston back to San Antonio

Total time = (d / 2 x 106 ) +( d / 2 x 75 )

= .0047 d + .0067 d

= .0114 d

Average speed  = d / .0114 d = 87.72 km /h

c )

For entire trip :

total distance = 2d

total time = 2 x .0114 d

Average speed  = 2 d / 2 x .0114 d

= 87.72 km /h .
