An ice cube of mass 50.0 g can slide without friction up and down a 25.0 degree slope. The ice cube is pressed against a spring

at the bottom of the slope, compressing the spring 0.100 m The spring constant is 25.0 N/m When the ice cube is released, how far will it travel up the slope before reversing direction?
Notice that all the initial spring potential energy was transformed into gravitational potential energy. If you compressed the spring to a distance of 0.200 m, how far up the slope will an identical ice cube travel before reversing directions?

Answer:

a) $s = 0.603\,m$ , b) $s = 2.412\,m$

Explanation:

a) The system ice cube-spring is modelled by means of the Principle of Energy Conservation. Let assume that height at the bottom is zero:

$U_{g} = U_{k}$

$m\cdot g \cdot s\cdot \sin \theta = \frac{1}{2}\cdot k \cdot x^{2}$

$s = \frac{k\cdot x^{2}}{2\cdot m\cdot g \cdot \sin \theta}$

$s = \frac{(25\,\frac{N}{m} )\cdot (0.1\,m)^{2}}{2\cdot (0.05\,kg)\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )\cdot \sin 25^{\textdegree}}$

$s = 0.603\,m$

b) The distance travelled by the ice cube is:

$s = \frac{(25\,\frac{N}{m} )\cdot (0.2\,m)^{2}}{2\cdot (0.05\,kg)\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )\cdot \sin 25^{\textdegree}}$

$s = 2.412\,m$

Answer:

A) at x =0.1m, distance it will travel up the slope before reversing direction = 0.603m

B) at x =0.2m, distance it will travel up the slope before reversing direction = 2.412m

Explanation:

A) First of all, the formula for Elastic potential energy is given as;

P.E = (1/2)kx²

where:

P.E= elastic potential energy ( J )

k = spring constant ( N/m )

x = spring extension or compression (m)

From the question, we are given;

mass of ice cube (m) = 50g = 0.05 kg

angle of ramp slope (θ) = 25.0°

compression of the spring (x) = 0.1m

spring constant (k =) 25.0 N/m

From conservation of energy, we know that;

Elastic Potential Energy = Gravitational Potential Energy

Thus;

(1/2)kx² = mgh

From the free body diagram i attached, it is clear that h/d = sin 25°

h = d sin25

Thus, plugging in the relevant values, we have;

(1/2)(25)(0.1)² = 0.05 x 9.81 x d x sin 25

0.125 = 0.4905 x 0.4226 x d

d = 0.125/(0.4905 x 0.4226) = 0.603m

B) if the spring is now compressed to a distance of 0.2m, x = 0.2m

Thus; (1/2)kx² = mgh will now be;

(1/2)(25)(0.2)² = 0.05 x 9.81 x d x sin 25

0.5 = 0.4905 x 0.4226 x d

d = 0.5/(0.4905 x 0.4226) = 2.412m

"Without forces there can be no movement"- Do you agree with this statement? Why or Why not?

Answer: Yes.

Explanation: It is clearly stated in Newton’s first law of physics that an object will not change its motion unless a force acts on.

A baseball leaves a bat with a horizontal velocity of 20 m/s. In a time of 0.25 s, How far will it have traveled horizontally?

Maurinko [17]

Distance traveled by the ball is given by

$distance = speed \times time$

here we know that

speed = 20 m/s

times = 0.25 s

now we have

$distance = 20 \times 0.25$

$distance = 5 m$

so ball will travel 5 m distance in the given interval of time

Help meh in this question plzzz <br>

The Moment of Inertia of the Disc is represented by $I = \frac{15}{32}\cdot M\cdot R^{2}$ . (Correct answer: A)

Let suppose that the Disk is a Rigid Body whose mass is uniformly distributed. The Moment of Inertia of the element is equal to the Moment of Inertia of the entire Disk minus the Moment of Inertia of the Hole, that is to say:

$I = I_{D} - I_{H}$ (1)

Where:

$I_{D}$ - Moment of inertia of the Disk.

$I_{H}$ - Moment of inertia of the Hole.

Then, this formula is expanded as follows:

$I = \frac{1}{2}\cdot M\cdot R^{2} - \frac{1}{2}\cdot m\cdot \left(\frac{1}{2}\cdot R^{2} \right)$ (1b)

Dimensionally speaking, Mass is directly proportional to the square of the Radius, then we derive the following expression for the Mass removed by the Hole ( $m$ ):

$\frac{m}{M} = \frac{R^{2}}{4\cdot R^{2}}$

$m = \frac{1}{2}\cdot M$

And the resulting equation is:

$I = \frac{1}{2}\cdot M\cdot R^{2} -\frac{1}{2}\cdot \left(\frac{1}{4}\cdot M \right) \cdot \left(\frac{1}{4}\cdot R^{2} \right)$

$I = \frac{1}{2} \cdot M\cdot R^{2} - \frac{1}{32}\cdot M\cdot R^{2}$

$I = \frac{15}{32}\cdot M\cdot R^{2}$

The moment of inertia of the Disc is represented by $I = \frac{15}{32}\cdot M\cdot R^{2}$ . (Correct answer: A)

When you rub a plastic rod with fur, the plastic rod becomes negatively charged and the fur becomes positively charged. As a con

Yuri [45]

Answer: C. the rod gains mass and the fur loses mass.

Explanation:Atomic particles have mass. The electron has a mass that is approximately 1/1836 that of the proton and with exchange exchange of charge this is also factored in. The movement of effect described above is known as the triboelectic charging process—charging by friction—which results in a transfer of electrons between the two objects when they are rubbed together. Plastic having a much greater affinity for electrons than animal fur pulls electrons from the atoms of fur, leaving both objects with an imbalance of charge. The plastic rod would have an excess of electrons and the fur has a shortage of electrons. Having an excess of electrons, the plastic is charged negatively and has more mass. In the same vein, the shortage of electrons on the fur leaves it with a positive charge and consequently with lesser mass.
