Two objects with masses m and 3m are connected by a compressed spring so that the energy stored in the spring is 375 joules. If

we release the spring, when the spring returns to its normal length, how many joules is the kinetic energy of the lighter body?

Answer:

281.25 J

Explanation:

We are told that the two objects with masses m and 3m.

Also that energy stored in the spring is 375 joules.

Now, initially the centre of mass of the system took place at rest, it means v1 = v and v2 = v/3

Thus, from principle of conservation of energy, we have;

½mv² + ½(3m)(v/3)² = 375J

(m + 3m/9)½v² = 375

(4/3)m × ½v² = 375

Multiply both sides by ¾ to get;

½mv² = 375 × ¾

½mv² = 281.25 J

Therefore, energy of lighter body is 281.25 J

Find the unit vector in the direction of vector B=4i+2j-5k​
solmaris [256]

Answer:

\frac{4}{\sqrt{45} } i\,+\frac{2}{\sqrt{45} } j-\frac{5}{\sqrt{45} } k

Explanation:

for the unit vector, we need to divide the given vector by its norm, because it should be in the SAME direction as the original vector, but of magnitude "1".

We notice that the norm of the given vector is:

\sqrt{4^2+2^2+(-5)^2} =\sqrt{45}

Then, the unit vector becomes:

\frac{4}{\sqrt{45} } i\,+\frac{2}{\sqrt{45} } j-\frac{5}{\sqrt{45} } k

Conduction transfers Thermal energy by
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

Conduction is the transfer of heat between substances that are in direct contact with each other. The better the conductor, the more rapidly heat will be transferred. Metal is a good conduction of heat. Conduction occurs when a substance is heated, particles will gain more energy, and vibrate more.

Min is asked to balance the equation below.
Minchanka [31]
It is incorrect, because the identity of the original product has changed. Ca3(OH)2 does not exist! It is no longer calcium hydroxide. To balance an equation, you must manipulate the coefficients, a.k.a. the big numbers that go before reactants or products. Subscripts, the little numbers inside the reactants or products, cannot be changed without completely changing the substance.
