ed spring of length 0.15 m stands vertically on the floor; its stiffness is 1040 N/m. You release a block of mass 0.4 kg from re

st, with the bottom of the block 0.7 m above the floor and straight above the spring. How long is the spring when the block comes momentarily to rest on the compressed spring

Answer:

<h2>0.082m</h2>

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

mass of block  m=0.4kg

initial length of spring=0.15m

spring constant= 1040N/m

height of mass= 0.7m

assume g=9.81m/s²

Step two:

When the mass is released it will have potential energy

PE=mgh-------1

when the mass comes to rest on the spring, the potential energy of the mass will be equal to the energy stored in the spring

the energy stored in the spring is given as

E=1/2kx²- -------------2

where e is the compression

mgh = mgh' + ½kx²

where h' = 0.15m - x = height of block at maximum spring compression

0 = mg(0.15m - x - 0.7m) + ½kx²

0 = 0.4* 9.81 * (-x - 0.55) + ½ * 1040 * x²

0=-3.924x-2.1582+ 520x²

rearrange

520x²-3.924x-2.1582=0

the roots are

x=0.068

x=-0.061----not possible

and x = 0.068 m  

so

h' = 0.15m - 0.068m = 0.082m

Two children stand on a platform at the top of a curving slide next to a backyard swimming pool. At the same moment the smaller
IgorC [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

i )

In a conservative field like gravitational field , loss of potential energy  or work done , depends upon the initial and final point and not the manner in which 2 nd point has been reached . Since the initial and final point is same in both the cases of straight and curved path , final velocity will remain same for both of them .

Hence , due to increased mass of larger child , his kinetic energy will be greater .

ii ) Since the initial and final point is same in both the cases of straight and curved path , final velocity will remain same for both of them .

iii ) Smaller child undergo free fall , therefore , he will fall with acceleration g . The larger child falls on curved path . So , he will have only a component of

vertical g at any moment  . hence average acceleration  will be less.

What is the position of the earth, moon, and sun during a new moon?
svetlana [45]

The Moon always rotates about the Earth in its orbit. The position of the Earth, moon and sun during a new moon is Earth is in between Sun and Moon.

<h3>What is new moon?</h3>

When moon has travelled for 14 days, it starts its journey again for the next 14 days. The journey starts from the new moon to the full moon. The position of new and full moon is the same. At this time, the Earth is in between the Sun and the Moon.

Thus, the position of the Earth, moon and sun during a new moon is Earth is in between Sun and Moon.

What is the relationship between ozone and smog?
Irina18 [472]

smog  is a term used to describe air pollution that is a result of the interaction of sunlight with certain chemicals in the atmosphere. One of the primary components of photochemical smog is ozone. While ozone in the stratosphere protects earth from harmful UV radiation, ozone on the ground is hazardous to human health.
