A rock is thrown across a frozen pond with an initial speed of 8m/s. Which statement best describes the motion of the rock?

Physics
1 answer:
olga55 [171]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Option C: "The rock will slow down and eventually stop"

Explanation:

Since this is a real event, and not an ideal situation where there is no friction forces acting between the frozen pond and the rock, there is going to exist some force of dynamic friction (even small) acting between them. One can look up coefficients of dynamic friction between similar objects, and realize that some small force will be acting as the rock slides on the surface of the pond. That force acts always opposite the direction of movement, therefore decelerating the rock. The rock's speed will continue reducing in magnitude until it eventually stops.

Then, the selected answer is: "The rock will slow down and eventually stop."

Use ideas of electromagnetic induction to explain how the input voltage is transformed into an output voltage
devlian [24]

With the help of a transformer  input voltage is transformed into an output voltage

​

<h3>What is induced voltage?</h3>

Electromagnetic induction is what causes the induced voltage. Electromagnetic induction is the process of generating emf (induced voltage) by subjecting a conductor to a magnetic field.

In this case, a magnet is pushed in and out of a wire coil attached to a high-resistance voltmeter.

Typically, a transformer's primary winding is attached to the input voltage source and changes electrical power into a magnetic field.

The secondary winding's role is to turn this alternating magnetic field into electricity, generating the necessary output voltage.

Hence with the help of a transformer input voltage is transformed into an output voltage.

Which of the following is a hypothesis?
inna [77]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Hypothesis is one of the science methods. Hypothesis is the same as guessing. It's a scientific method that precedes observations.

According to the question asking that Which of the following is a hypothesis ?

The correct option is C which is

If a squid is attacked by a predator, it will squirt ink

It is an hypothesis because there is no experimental evidence to back it up.

A cat jumps from 2.5-meter-tall bookshelf to a 1.3-meter-tall countertop. If the cat
UkoKoshka [18]

The change in Potential energy of the cat is 176.4 J.

<h3 /><h3>Potential Energy:</h3>

This is the energy due to the position of a body. The S.I unit is Joules (J)

The formula for change in potential energy.

<h3 /><h3>Formula:</h3>
  • ΔP.E = mg(H-h).............. Equation 1

<h3>Where:</h3>
  • ΔP.E = Change in potential energy
  • m = mass of the cat
  • g = acceleration due to gravity
  • H = First height
  • h = second height.

From the question,

<h3>Given:</h3>
  • m = 15 kg
  • H = 2.5 m
  • h = 1.3 m
  • g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 1

  • ΔP.E = 15×9.8(2.5-1.3)
  • ΔP.E = 15×9.8×1.2
  • ΔP.E = 176.4 J.

Hence, The change in Potential energy of the cat is 176.4 J

A vertical spring has a spring constant of 2900 N/m. The spring is compressed 80 cm and a 8 kg spider is placed on the spring. T
Serga [27]

Answer:

a)  k_{e} = 928 J , b)U = -62.7 J , c) K = 0 , d) Y = 11.0367 m,  e)  v = 15.23 m / s  

Explanation:

To solve this exercise we will use the concepts of mechanical energy.

a) The elastic potential energy is

      k_{e} = ½ k x²

      k_{e} = ½ 2900 0.80²

      k_{e} = 928 J

b) place the origin at the point of the uncompressed spring, the spider's potential energy

     U = m h and

     U = 8 9.8 (-0.80)

     U = -62.7 J

c) Before releasing the spring the spider is still, so its true speed and therefore the kinetic energy also

      K = ½ m v²

      K = 0

d) write the energy at two points, maximum compression and maximum height

     Em₀ = ke = ½ m x²

     E_{mf} = mg y

     Emo = E_{mf}

     ½ k x² = m g y

     y = ½ k x² / m g

     y = ½ 2900 0.8² / (8 9.8)

     y = 11.8367 m

As zero was placed for the spring without stretching the height from that reference is

     Y = y- 0.80

     Y = 11.8367 -0.80

     Y = 11.0367 m

Bonus

Energy for maximum compression and uncompressed spring

     Emo = ½ k x² = 928 J

     E_{mf}= ½ m v²

     Emo = E_{mf}

     Emo = ½ m v²

      v =√ 2Emo / m

     v = √ (2 928/8)

     v = 15.23 m / s
