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.

What is the mass of an object that is hanging 12.6 m above the surface of the earth and has a
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

22.05 Kg

Explanation:

Apply the formula:

GPE = Gravity . Mass . ΔHigh

2778.3 = 10 . Mass . 12.6

2778.3 = 126 . Mass

Mass = 2778.3/126

Mass = 22.05

When an object moves, stops moving, changes speed, or changes direction, how do scientists describe that condition?
lorasvet [3.4K]
Drop "moves" from the list for a moment.

You can also drop "stops moving", because that's included in "changes speed"
(from something to zero).

When an object changes speed or changes direction, that's called "acceleration".

I dropped the first one from the list, because an object can be moving,
and as long as it's speed is constant and it's moving in a straight line,
there's no acceleration.

I think you meant to say "starts moving". That's a change of speed (from zero
to something), so it's also acceleration.

A 8.4-mH inductor carries a current I = Imaxsin ωt, with Imax = 4.00 A and f = ω/2π = 60.0 Hz. What is the self-induced emf as a
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

E= -3.166 cosωt   V

Explanation:

Given that

I = Imax sinωt

L= 8.4 m H

Imax= 4 A

f = ω/2π = 60.0 Hz

ω = 120π  rad/s

We know that self induce E given as

E=-L\dfrac{dI}{dt}

\dfrac{dI}{dt}= Imax \ \omega\ cos\omega t

E=-L\times Imax \ \omega\ cos\omega t

E=-8.4\times 120\times \pi \ cos\omega t

E= -3166.72 cosωt  m V

E= -3.166 cosωt   V

This is the induce emf.

If the total momentum of a system is changing:
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

(d) a net external force must be acting on the system

Explanation:

Momentum is given as the product of mass and velocity.

P = MV

According to Newton's second law of motion, " Force applied to a body (system) is directly proportional to the rate of change of momentum of the body (system) which takes place in the direction of the applied force (external force).

F ∝ΔMV

Therefore, If the total momentum of a system is changing, a net external force must be acting on the system.

(d) a net external force must be acting on the system
