We know, by conservation of energy :

\dfrac{kx^2}{2}=mgh

Therefore,

\dfrac{x_1^2}{x_2^2}=\dfrac{h_1}{h_2}

Putting given values, we get :

\dfrac{x_1^2}{x_2^2}=\dfrac{h_1}{h_2}\\\\\dfrac{4.9^2}{x_2^2}=\dfrac{50.2}{2\times 50.2}\\\\x_2^2=2\times 4.9^2\\\\x_2 = 4.9\times \sqrt{2}\\\\x_2=6.93\ cm

Therefore, the spring be compressed to 6.93 cm to send the ball twice as high.

Hence, this is the required solution.

uysha [10]

Answer:

F=5449 N

Explanation:

Work done is a product of force and displacement ie

Work done, W, = Force*Displacement

Power, P, is Work done/Time

P=\frac {W}{t}=\frac {FS}{t} where P is power, W is work done, F is force, S is displacement and t is time

In this case, F is the frictional force. Converting the power from hp to W, we multiply by 746 hence P=746*168=125328  W

Since displacement/time is velocity, then

P=FV where V is velocity in m/s

Making F the subject

F=\frac {P}{V}

F=\frac {125328}{23}=5449.043478  N

F=5449 N

Answer:

Un eclipse solar se produce cuando la luna se interpone en el camino de la luz del sol y proyecta su sombra en la Tierra. Eso significa que durante el día, la luna se mueve por delante del sol y se pone oscuro. ... Este eclipse total se produce aproximadamente cada año y medio en algún lugar de la Tierra.

The rectangular plates in a parallel-plate capacitor are 0.063 m x 5.4 m. A distance of 3.5 x 10^-5m separate the plates. The pl
Aleks04 [339]

The capacitance of the capacitor is 1.8\cdot 10^{-9}F

Explanation:

The capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor is given by the equation

C=\frac{k\epsilon_0 A}{d}

where

k is the dielectric constant of the medium

\epsilon_0 = 8.85\cdot 10^{-12} F/m is the vacuum permittivity

A is the area of the plates

d is the separation between the plates

For the capacitor in this problem, we have:

k = 2.1 is the dielectric constant

d=3.5\cdot 10^{-5}m is the separation between the plates

A=0.063m \cdot 0.054m = 0.0034 m^2 (I assumed that 5.4 m is a typo, since it is not a realistic size for the side of the plate)

Therefore, the capacitance of the  capacitor is

C=\frac{(2.1)(8.85\cdot 10^{-12})(0.0034)}{3.5\cdot 10^{-5}}=1.8\cdot 10^{-9}F

A diver can change his rotational inertia by drawing his arms andlegs close to his body in the tuck position. After he leaves th
NeX [460]

Answer:

3.14946 rad/s

Explanation:

I_i = Intial moment of inertia

I_f = Final moment of inertia

\omega_i = Initial angular velocity

\omega_f = Final angular velocity = \dfrac{2}{1.33}\times 2\pi\ rad/s

\dfrac{I_f}{I_i}=\dfrac{1}{3}

In this system the angular momentum is conserved

L_i=L_f\\\Rightarrow I_i\omega_i=I_f\omega_f\\\Rightarrow \omega_i=\dfrac{I_f\omega_f}{I_i}\\\Rightarrow \omega_i=\dfrac{1\times \dfrac{2}{1.33}\times 2\pi}{3}\\\Rightarrow \omega_i=3.14946\ rad/s

The angular velocity when the diver left the board is 3.14946 rad/s
