An ice cube of mass 50.0 g can slide without friction up and down a 25.0 degree slope. The ice cube is pressed against a spring

at the bottom of the slope, compressing the spring 0.100 m . The spring constant is 25.0 N/m . When the ice cube is released, how far will it travel up the slope before reversing direction? Express your answer numerically in meters to three significant figures. d = nothing m

Answer:

0.6 m

Explanation:

When a spring is compressed it stores potential energy. This energy is:

Ep = 1/2 * k * x^2

Being x the distance it compressed/stretched.

When the spring bounces the ice cube back it will transfer that energy to the cube, it will raise up the slope, reaching a high point where it will have a speed of zero and a potential energy equal to what the spring gave it.

The potential energy of the ice cube is:

Ep = m * g * h

This is vertical height and is related to the distance up the slope by:

sin(a) = h/d

h = sin(a) * d

Replacing:

Ep = m * g * sin(a) * d

Equating both potential energies:

1/2 * k * x^2 = m * g * sin(a) * d

d = (1/2 * k * x^2) / (m * g * sin(a))

d= (1/2 * 25 * 0.1^2) / (0.05 * 9.81 * sin(25)) = 0.6 m

Sally takes two bar magnets and randomly tapes one end of each bar magnet. she labels the magnets A and B. She brings the taped
vlabodo [156]
Since the two taped poles of the magnets labeled A and B attracts one to each other, we know that the two taped poles are oppsosite.

So, you can predict with total certainty that when she brings the taped end of the third magnet (magnet C) near each of the first two magntes, in one case they will attract each other and in the other case they will repele mutually.

You are certain of that because, since the taped poles of the first two magnets are opposite, the pole of the third magnet has to be equal to one of the two first taped poles and opposite to the other of the two firest taped poles.

How does energy move through the atmosphere hydrosphere and biosphere
Anna11 [10]
<span>When the Sun’s energy moves through space, it reaches Earth’s atmosphere and finally the surface.  This radiant solar energy warms the atmosphere and becomes heat energy. This heat energy is transferred throughout the planet’s systems in three ways: by radiation, conduction, and convection</span>
