The slowest line is the solid line and the fastest is the dotted line that crosses the solid line
for future reference you just need to find the slope or the line which is traveling most vertical
Answer:
The puck moves a vertical height of 2.6 cm before stopping
Explanation:
As the puck is accelerated by the spring, the kinetic energy of the puck equals the elastic potential energy of the spring.
So, 1/2mv² = 1/2kx² where m = mass of puck = 39.2 g = 0.0392 g, v = velocity of puck, k = spring constant = 59 N/m and x = compression of spring = 1.3 cm = 0.013 cm.
Now, since the puck has an initial velocity, v before it slides up the inclined surface, its loss in kinetic energy equals its gain in potential energy before it stops. So
1/2mv² = mgh where h = vertical height puck moves and g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s².
Substituting the kinetic energy of the puck for the potential energy of the spring, we have
1/2kx² = mgh
h = kx²/2mg
= 59 N/m × (0.013 m)²/(0.0392 kg × 9.8 m/s²)
= 0.009971 Nm/0.38416 N
= 0.0259 m
= 2.59 cm
≅ 2.6 cm
So the puck moves a vertical height of 2.6 cm before stopping
Power is the rate of energy. Mathematically, it is
Power (p) = Energy(E) / Time(t)
Hope this helps!
The object will not be able to accelerate perpendicular to direction of motion
When the heat source is removed from a fluid, convection currents in the fluid will eventually distribute heat uniformly throughout the fluid. When all of the fluid is at the same temperature, convection currents will stop.
