A 25 kg box on a horizontal frictionless surface is moving to the right at a speed of 5.0 m s. The box hits and remains attached

to one end of a spring of negligible mass whose other end is attached to a wall. As a result, the spring compresses a maximum distance of 0.60 m. (a) i. The spring does work on the box from the moment the box first hits the spring to the moment the spring first reaches its maximum compression. Indicate whether the work done by the spring is positive, negative, or zero.

Answer:

Explanation:

Work done by the spring is negative .

Work done by force F creating displacement  d is given by the following expression .

Work = F x d

Both force and displacement are vector quantity .

When direction of force and direction of displacement is same , work is positive . When direction of force and direction of displacement is opposite , work is negative .

When spring is compressed , it exerts a restoring or opposing force in a direction opposite to the direction of displacement of box . Hence here force is opposite to displacement . Restoring force acts opposite to displacement . Hence work done by spring on box is negative .

Will kilogram of hydrogen contains more atoms than kilogram of lead?
Zigmanuir [339]
Yes a kg of hydrogen will have more atoms than a kg of lead, because lead has a higher atomic mass, than hydrogen so it will take more atoms of hydrogen to make a kg than lead

Help pls i need this right now

Answer:

The x-component of F_{3} is 56.148 newtons.

Explanation:

From 1st and 2nd Newton's Law we know that a system is at rest when net acceleration is zero. Then, the vectorial sum of the three forces must be equal to zero. That is:

\vec F_{1} + \vec F_{2} + \vec F_{3} = \vec O (1)

Where:

\vec F_{1}, \vec F_{2}, \vec F_{3} - External forces exerted on the ring, measured in newtons.

\vec O - Vector zero, measured in newtons.

If we know that \vec F_{1} = (70.711,70.711)\,[N], \vec F_{2} = (-126.859, 46.173)\,[N], F_{3} = (F_{3,x},F_{3,y}) and \vec O = (0,0)\,[N], then we construct the following system of linear equations:

\Sigma F_{x} = 70.711\,N - 126.859\,N +F_{3,x} = 0\,N (2)

\Sigma F_{y} = 70.711\,N + 46.173\,N+F_{3,y} = 0\,N (3)

The solution of this system is:

F_{3,x} = 56.148\,N, F_{3,y} = -116.884\,N

The x-component of F_{3} is 56.148 newtons.

An 80.0-kg object is falling and experiences a drag force due to air resistance. The magnitude of this drag force depends on its
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

 Terminal velocity of object = 12.58 m/s

Explanation:

 We know that the terminal velocity is attained when drag force and gravitational force are of the same magnitude.

Gravitational force = mg = 80 * 9.8 = 784 N

Drag force = 12.0v+4.00v^2

Equating both, we have

    784=12.0v+4.00v^2\\ \\ v^2+3v-196=0\\ \\ (v-12.58)(v+15.58)=0

  So v = 12.58 m/s or v = -15.58 m/s ( not possible)

 So terminal velocity of object = 12.58 m/s
