On a smooth horizontal floor, an object slides into a spring which is attached to another mass that is initially stationary. Whe

n the spring is most compressed, both objects are moving at the same speed. Ignoring friction, and considering the two masses and spring as a system, what is conserved during this interaction?A) momentum and potential energyB) kinetic energy onlyC) momentum and kinetic energyD) momentum onlyE) momentum and mechanical energy

Answer:

E) momentum and mechanical energy

Explanation:

In the context, an object is attached to the another mass with a spring which is initially at a rest position. Now when the spring is compressed, the two masses moves with the same speed. Now since the both the masses combines with the spring to move together they are considered as one system and in this case the momentum and the kinetic energy will be conserved.

The kinetic energy and momentum of the system after collision and the kinetic energy and momentum of the two masses before collision will be constant.

A person drives 20 miles north and 45 miles east. What is the angle of the resultant straight to their destination?
Alex787 [66]
Let us take east and north as the positive x and y-axes should the motion be plotted in a cartesian plane. Thus, the x value is 45 miles and the y value is 20. The tangent of an angle is equal to the ratio of y to x.

   tanθ = y / x

Substituting,

   tanθ = 20/45 = 0.44

The value of θ is 23.96°.

At a temperature of 320K, the gas in a cylinder has a volume of 40.0 liters. If the volume of the gas is decreased to 20.0 liter
Lerok [7]
Assuming the gas behaves ideally,
PV/T = constant. P will also be constant in this giving us:
V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂
40/320 = 20/T₂
T₂ = 160 K
The answer is A.

If a sample of an unknown material with a mass of 0.68 g and a volume of 0.8 cm3 is dropped
Anna71 [15]
As the density of the unknown substance is 0.68g/0.8ml = 0.85g/ml, it is less dense than the maple syrup at 1.33g/ml and will float.
