Answer:

1.53m

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of box = 3kg

Gravitational potential energy = 45J

Unknown

Height of the box = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem;

Gravitational potential energy = mgh

m is the mass

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height

45 = 3 x 9.8 x h

h = 1.53m

An ideal spring hangs from the ceiling. A 2.15 kg mass is hung from the spring, stretching the spring a distance d = 0.0895 m fr

Igoryamba

Answer:

The kinetic energy of the mass at the instant it passes back through the equilibrium position is 0.06500 J.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass = 2.15 kg

Distance = 0.0895 m

Amplitude = 0.0235 m

We need to calculate the spring constant

Using newton's second law

$F= mg$

Where, f = restoring force

$kx=mg$

$k=\dfrac{mg}{x}$

Put the value into the formula

$k=\dfrac{2.15\times9.8}{0.0895}$

$k=235.41\ N/m$

We need to calculate the kinetic energy of the mass

Using formula of kinetic energy

$K.E=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

Here, $v = A\omega$

$K.E=\dfrac{1}{2}m\times(A\omega)^2$

Here, $\omega=\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}}^2$

$K.E=\dfrac{1}{2}m\times A^2\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}}^2$

$K.E=\dfrac{1}{2}kA^2$

Put the value into the formula

$K.E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times235.41\times(0.0235)^2$

$K.E=0.06500\ J$

Hence, The kinetic energy of the mass at the instant it passes back through the equilibrium position is 0.06500 J.

Think about the mice shown below. Using the space below numbered 1, describe what is happening from figure 1 to 3.

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer: Natural selection is taking place.

Explanation:

As you can see, the lighter colored mice are more visible than their surroundings, so the hawk picks them off one by one. the brown mice on the other hand are less visible, blending in with their surroundings, so they are successful, and pass on the genes that allow them to survive better.
