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

Usually, when the temperture is increased l, what will happen to the ratevof dissolving?
pochemuha
<span>When temperature is increased, the rate of dissolving increases. The kinetic energy of the molecules of the solute and solvent molecules is high thereby increasing their contact. An example is mixing powdered sugar to the water. When you add water to the sugar, the dissolving process is slow. However, when you increase the temperature of the water by boiling it, the sugar dissolves immediately. </span>
