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

How is one standard kilogram defined in SI system?​
igomit [66]

Answer:

hope it is gonna help u raj Good day

Explanation:

The kilogram, symbol kg, is the SI unit of mass. It is defined by taking the fixed numerical value of the Planck constant h to be 6.626 070 15 × 10-34 when expressed in the unit J s, which is equal to kg m2 s -1 , where the meter and the second are defined in terms of c and ∆νCs.

When 108 g of water at a temperature of 22.5?
FrozenT [24]
<span>ΔT for the first sample is the total samples final temp, minus the first sample's initial temp (47.9-22.5), so 25.4oC. Calculating q for the first sample as 108g x 4.18 J/g C x 25.4oC = 11466.58 Joules Figuring that since the first sample gained heat, the second sample must have provided the heat, so doing the calculation for the second sample, I used q=mCΔT 11466.58 Joules = 65.1g x 4.18 J / g C x ΔT 11466.58/(65.1gx4.18)=ΔT ΔT=42.14oC So, since second sample lost heat, it's initial temperature was 90.04oC (47.9oC final temperature of mixture + 42.14oC ΔT of second sample).</span>

What is the drivers displacement at the end of the lap
NeX [460]

Answer:

The distance that the racecar traveled is indeed 500m. But at the end of the lap, it is right back where it started. So overall, it has been displaced 0m.

(b) A ball is thrown from a point 1.50 m above the ground. The initial velocity is 19.5 m/s at
Nataly_w [17]

The answers are:

(i) 6.35m

(ii) 20.2 m/s


It seems like you already have the answer, but let me show you how to get it:


You have two givens:

Vi = 19.5m/s

Θ = 30°

dy = 1.50m (This is not the maximum height, just to be clear)


When working with these types of equations, you just need to know your kinematics equations. For projectiles launched at an angle, you will need to first break down the initial velocity (Vi) into its horizontal (x) and vertical (y) components.


*<em>Now remember this, if you are solving for something in the horizontal movement always use only x-components. When solving for vertical movements, always use y-components. </em>


Let's move on to breaking down the initial velocity into both y and x components.


Viy = SinΘVi = (Sin30°)(19.5m/s) = <em>9.75 m/s</em>

Vix = CosΘVi = (Cos30°)(19.5m/s) = <em>16.89 m/s</em>


Okay, so we have that down now. The next step is to decide which kinematics equation you will use. Because you have no time, you need to use the kinematic equation that is not time dependent.


(i) Maximum height above the ground


Remember that the object was thrown 1.50m above the ground. So we save that for later. First we need to solve for the maximum height above the horizontal, or the point where it was thrown.


The kinematics equation you will use is:

Vf^{2} = Vi^{2}+2ad


Where:

Vf = final velocity

Vi = inital velocity

a = 9.8m/s²

d = displacement


We will derive our displacement from this equation. And you will come up with this:

d = \dfrac{Vf^{2}-Vi^{2}}{2a}


Again, remember that we are looking for a vertical component or y-component because we are looking for HEIGHT. So we use this plugging in vertical values only.


Vf at maximum height is always 0m/s because at maximum height, objects stop. Also because gravity is a downwards force you will use -9.8m/s².

Vfy = 0 m/s a = -9.8m/s² Viy = 9.75m/s

dy = \dfrac{Vfy^{2}-Viy^{2}}{2a}

dy = \dfrac{0^{2}-(9.75m/s)^{2}}{2(-9.8m/s^{2})}

dy = \dfrac{0^{2}-(9.75m/s)^{2}}{2(-9.8m/s^{2})}

dy = \dfrac{-95.0625m^{2}/s^{2}}{-19.6m/s^{2}}

dy = 4.85m


So from the point it was thrown, it reached a height of 4.85m. Now we add that to the height it was thrown to get the MAXIMUM HEIGHT <em>ABOVE THE GROUND.</em>


4.85m + 1.50m = 6.35m


(ii) Speed before it strikes the ground. (Vf=resultant velocity)

Okay, so here we need to consider a couple of things. To get the VF we need to first figure out the final velocities of both the x and y components. We are combining them to get the resultant velocity.


Vfx = horizontal velocity = Initial horizontal velocity (Vix). This is because gravity is not acting upon the horizontal movement so it remains constant.


Vfy = ?

VF =?


We need to solve this, again, using the same formula, but this time, you need to consider we are moving downwards now. So this time, instead of Vfy being 0 m/s, Viy is now 0 m/s. This is because it started moving from rest.


Vfy^{2} = Viy^{2}+2ad

Vfy^{2} = 0m/s^{2}+2(9.8m/s^{2}(6.35m)

\sqrt{Vfy^{2}} = \sqrt{124.46m^{2}/s^{2}}

Vfy= 11.16m/s


OKAY! We are at our last step. Now to get the resultant velocity, we apply the Pythagorean theorem.


Vf^{2} = Vfx^{2} + Vfy^{2}

\sqrt{Vf^{2}} = \sqrt{(16.89m/s)^{2}+(11.16m/s)^{2}}

Vf =20.2m/s


The ball was falling at 20.2m/s before it hit the ground.
