Answer: Start at the top of the hill.

Explanation:

The options include:

a. Start at the bottom of the hill.

b. Start at the top of the hill.

c. Start in the middle of the hill.

Sled racing is simply a winter dog sport racing. Since Robb wants to win the next sled race, the advice that'll be given to him is that he should start at the top of the hill.

Other options such as starting at the bottom of the hill or the middle of the hill are wrong.

A 645 g block is released from rest at height h0 above a vertical spring with spring constant k = 530 N/m and negligible mass. T
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

a)5.88J

b)-5.88J

c)0.78m

d)0.24m

Explanation:

a) W by the block on spring is given by

W= \frac{1}{2}kx² = \frac{1}{2}(530)(0.149)² =  5.88 J

b)  Workdone by the spring = - Workdone by the block = -5.88J

c) Taking x = 0 at the contact point we have U top = U bottom

So, mgh_o = \frac{1}{2}kx² - mgx

And, h_o= ( \frac{1}{2}kx² - mgx )/(mg) = [\frac{1}{2} (530)(0.149^2)-(0.645)(9.8)(0.149)]/(0.645x9.8)    

   h_o=   0.78m            

d) Now, if the initial initial height of block is 3h_o

h_o = 3 x 0.78 = 2.34m

then, \frac{1}{2}kx² - mgx - mgh_o =0

 

\frac{1}{2}(530)x²  - [(0.645)(9.8)x] - [(0.645)(9.8)(2.34) = 0

265x² - 6.321x - 14.8 = 0  

a=265

b=-6.321

c=-14.8

By using quadratic eq. formula, we'll have the roots

x= 0.24 or x=-0.225

Considering only positive root:

x= 0.24m (maximum  compression of the spring)

A 50 kg crate is pulled across the ice by a rope that is angled at 30 degrees above the horizontal. If the tension in the rope i
denpristay [2]
Let:
Vx = the pulling component of force
Vy = the lifting component of force

Vy:
Sin(n°) = Vy/hypotenuse
hypotenuse * Sin(n°) = Vy
100N*sin(30°) = Vy
50N = Vy

Vx:
Cos(n°) = Vx/hypotenuse
Hypotenuse * cos(n°) = Vx
100N*cos(30°) =Vx
about 86.6N = Vx
