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

A 10 gauge copper wire carries a current of 20 A. Assuming one free electron per copper atom, calculate the magnitude of the dri
nordsb [41]

Complete Question

A 10 gauge copper wire carries a current of 20 A. Assuming one free electron per copper atom, calculate the drift velocity of the electrons. (The cross-sectional area of a 10-gauge wire is 5.261 mm2.) mm/s

Answer:

The drift velocity is v  = 0.0002808 \ m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The current on the copper is  I  = 20 \ A

     The cross-sectional area is  A =  5.261 \ mm^2 =  5.261 *10^{-6} \ m^2

The number of copper atom in the wire is  mathematically evaluated

      n  =  \frac{\rho *  N_a}Z}

Where \rho is the density of copper with a value \rho =  8.93 \ g/m^3

          N_a is the Avogadro's number with a value N_a  = 6.02 *10^{23}\ atom/mol

         Z  is the molar mass of copper with a value  Z =  63.55 \ g/mol

So

     n  =  \frac{8.93 * 6.02 *10^{23}}{63.55}

     n  = 8.46 * 10^{28}  \  atoms /m^3

Given the 1 atom is equivalent to 1 free electron then the number of free electron is  

         N  = 8.46 * 10^{28}  \  electrons

The current through the wire is mathematically represented as

         I  =  N * e * v * A

substituting values

        20 =  8.46 *10^{28} * (1.60*10^{-19}) * v *  5.261 *10^{-6}

=>     v  = 0.0002808 \ m/s

An ice cream truck is going 25m/s to the East. It accelerates to 45m/s in the same direction over 5s. What is its acceleration?
Naya [18.7K]

Hello!

We can use the kinematic equation:
a = \frac{v_f - v_i}{t}

a = acceleration (m/s²)

vf = final velocity (45 m/s)
vi = initial velocity (25 m/s)

t = time (5 sec)

Plug in the givens:
a = \frac{45-25}{5} = \frac{20}{5} = \boxed{4 m/s^2}

A bat moving at 3.7 m/s is chasing a ying insect. The bat emits a 36 kHz chirp and receives back an echo at 36.79 kHz. At what s
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

The speed the bat is gaining on its prey is 0.03m/s

Explanation:

Given;

speed of the bat, v₀ = 3.7 m/s

frequency of the bat, F₀ = 36 kHz

frequency of the source, Fs = 36.79

This is relative motion between a source of the sound and the observer.  The phenomenon is known as Doppler effect.

Apply the following equation to determine the speed of the insect which is the source;

F_0 = F_s[\frac{v+v_0}{v-v_s} ]\\\\\frac{F_0}{F_s} = [\frac{v+v_0}{v-v_s} ]\\\\\frac{36.79}{36} = \frac{340+3.7}{340-v_s}\\\\1.0219 = \frac{343.7}{340-v_s}\\\\  340-v_s = \frac{343.7}{1.0219}\\\\340-v_s = 336.33\\\\v_s = 340-336.33\\\\v_s = 3.67 \ m/s

The speed the bat is gaining on its prey = 3.7m/s - 3.67m/s = 0.03 m/s

Therefore, the speed the bat is gaining on its prey is 0.03m/s

A completely inelastic collision occurs between two balls of wet putty that move directly toward each other along a vertical axi
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

h = 2.64 meters      

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of one ball, m_1=3\ kg

Speed of the first ball, v_1=20\ m/s (upward)

Mass of the other ball, m_2=2\ kg

Speed of the other ball, v_2=-12\ m/s (downward)

We know that in an inelastic collision, after the collision, both objects move with one common speed. Let it is given by V. Using the conservation of momentum to find it as :

V=\dfrac{m_1v_1+m_2v_2}{m_1+m_2}

V=\dfrac{3\times 20+2\times (-12)}{3+2}

V = 7.2 m/s

Let h is the height reached by the combined balls of putty rise above the collision point. Using the conservation of energy as :

mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mV^2

h=\dfrac{V^2}{2g}

h=\dfrac{7.2^2}{2\times 9.8}

h = 2.64 meters

So, the height reached by the combined mass is 2.64 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.
