Answer:

Assuming air resistance is negligible, all of the potential energy that the object has at the top of the ramp is converted into kinetic energy by the time it gets to the bottom of the ramp.  This is because no matter what path the object takes to move the 5m vertically (ie. falling straight down v. sliding on the ramp), gravity does the same amount of work on it.

Thus, calculate the total amount of potential energy at the top of the ramp:

Ep=mgh

Ep=4(9.81)5

Ep=196.2 Joules

Because all of this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy in the object by the bottom of the ramp, the object hits the spring with 196.2J of energy.

By using the formula for elastic potential energy, you can calculate exactly how far the spring compresses.

196.2=(1/2)k(x^2)

392.4=(350)(x^2)

1.1211=x^2

sqrt(1.1211)=x

x=1.059m

As for the last part of the question, after the object compresses the spring fully and stops momentarily, the spring converts it's elastic potential energy back into kinetic energy in the object and pushes it away again.

3. What is the difference between Synthetic Oil, Semi-Syntheic oil (Blend), High milage motor oil, and conventional motor oil? ​
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

When evaluating synthetic blends, it's helpful to define the terms “synthetic blend” and “semi-synthetic”. Generally speaking, synthetic blends and semi-synthetic refer to the same thing: an oil that uses a combination of conventional and synthetic base oils in its formulation.

What angle is formed by the sun, the earth, and the moon during an eclipse?.
Andrew [12]

Answer:

The Sun-Earth-Moon system happens to exhibit a striking geometric coincidence, which we examine in the first problem. PROBLEM 1. To an observer on Earth, the Sun and the Moon subtend almost the same angle in the sky. The average angle is 0.52 degrees for the Moon and 0.53 degrees for the Sun.
