Answer:
spring compressed is 0.724 m
Explanation:
given data
mass = 1.80 kg
spring constant k = 2 × 10² N/m
initial height = 2.25 m
solution
we know from conservation of energy is
mg(h+x) = 0.5 × k × x² ...................1
here x is compression in spring
so put here value in equation 1 we get
1.8 × 9.8 × (2.25+x) = 0.5 × 2× 10² × x²
solve it we get
x = 0.724344
so spring compressed is 0.724 m
Answer:
Astronomer Edmond Halley
Explanation:
The astronomical unit using the transit of venus
The underlying principle behind Halley's method is called parallax
Answer:
3 hours
Explanation:
180 divided by 60 (mph means miles per hours by the way)
The addition of vectors involve both magnitude and direction. In this case, we make use of a triangle to visualize the problem. The length of two sides were given while the measure of the angle between the two sides can be derived. We then assign variables for each of the given quantities.
Let:
b = length of one side = 8 m
c = length of one side = 6 m
A = angle between b and c = 90°-25° = 75°
We then use the cosine law to find the length of the unknown side. The cosine law results to the formula: a^2 = b^2 + c^2 -2*b*c*cos(A). Substituting the values, we then have: a = sqrt[(8)^2 + (6)^2 -2(8)(6)cos(75°)]. Finally, we have a = 8.6691 m.
Next, we make use of the sine law to get the angle, B, which is opposite to the side B. The sine law results to the formula: sin(A)/a = sin(B)/b and consequently, sin(75)/8.6691 = sin(B)/8. We then get B = 63.0464°. However, the direction of the resultant vector is given by the angle Θ which is Θ = 90° - 63.0464° = 26.9536°.
In summary, the resultant vector has a magnitude of 8.6691 m and it makes an angle equal to 26.9536° with the x-axis.
Kinetic Energy = (1/2) (mass) (speed)
First runner: KE = (1/2) (45kg) (49 m/s) = 1,102.5 Joules
Second runner: KE = (1/2) (93kg) (9 m/s) = 418.5 Joules
The <em>first runner </em><em>has 163</em>% more kinetic energy than the second runner has.
