Answer:

Δx = 39.1 m

Explanation:

  • Assuming that deceleration keeps constant during the braking process, we can use one of the kinematics equations, as follows:

        v_{f} ^{2} - v_{o} ^{2} = 2* a * \Delta x (1)

        where  vf is the final velocity (0 in our case), v₀ is the initial velocity

        (25 m/s), a is the acceleration (-8.0 m/s²), and Δx is the distance

        traveled since the brakes are applied.

  • Solving (1) for Δx, we have:

        \Delta x = \frac{-v_{o} ^{2} }{2*a} = \frac{-(25m/s)^{2}}{2*(-8.0m/s2} = 39.1 m (2)

A(n) 60.3 g ball is dropped from a height of 53.7 cm above a spring of negligible mass. The ball compresses the spring to a maxi
Feliz [49]

Answer:

271.862 N/m

Explanation:

From Hook's Law,

mgh = 1/2ke²............... Equation 1

Where

m = mass of the ball, g = acceleration due to gravity, k = spring constant, e = extension, h = height fro which the ball was dropped.

Making k the subject of the equation,

k =2mgh/k²....................... Equation 2

Note: The potential energy of the ball is equal to the elastic potential energy of the spring.

Given: m = 60.3 g = 0.0603 kg, g = 9.8 m/s², e = 4.68317 cm = 0.0468317 m, h = 53.7 cm = 0.537 m

Substitute into equation 2

k = 2(0.0603)(9.8)(0.537)/0.048317²

k = 0.6346696/0.0023345

k = 271.862 N/m

How does a change in thermal energy cause matter to change from one state to another?
Mnenie [13.5K]
Thermal energy gives the particles of the substance kinetic energy because temperature is an average measure of kinetic enegy of the particle. If we give them thermal energy the particle will move faster, gaining enough energy to escape and become free. For example, from solid to liquid, the particles would espace their fixed position and be free to move as a liquid.

Three identical capacitors are connected in parallel to a battery. if a total charge of q flows from the battery, how much charg
muminat

Each capacitor carry the same charge 'q'.

Discussion:
The voltage from the battery is distributed equally across all of the capacitors when they are linked in series. The three identical capacitors' combined voltage is computed as follows:

V_{T} = V₁ +V₂ +V₃

This voltage may also be calculated using capacitance and charge;

V = Q/ C

V_{T} = V₁ +V₂ +V₃

Provided that the total charge is 'q', hence the total voltage can be expressed as:

V_{T} = (Q/C₁) + (Q/C₂) + (Q/C₃) = Q(1/C₁ +1/C₂ +1/C₃)

Therefore from the above explanation, it is concluded that each and every capacitor carry same charge 'q'.

Suppose a spring has a relaxed length of 28.3 cm. The simulation refers to this as the natural length. This is the length of the
den301095 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Normal length of spring = 28.3 cm

stretched length of spring = 38.2 cm

length of extension = 38.2 - 28.3 = 9.9 cm

= 9.9 x 10⁻² m

force applied to stretch = .55 x 9.8 ( mg )

= 5.39 N

Force constant = force applied / extension

= 5.39 / 9.9 x 10⁻²

= .5444 x 10² N /m

= 54.44 N/m
