Answer:

The least number of forces required to stretch a spring is one.

Explanation:

Let suppose that spring is ideal, that is, that effects from its mass can be neglected since it is insignificant in comparison with external forces. In addition, let the spring have a linear behavior, meaning that net external longitudinal force exerted on spring is directly proportional to defomation. (Hooke's Law) That is:

$F \propto x$ (1)

$F = k\cdot x$ (2)

Where:

$F$ - Net external force, measured in newtons.

$k$ - Spring constant, measured in newtons per meter.

$x$ - Deformation of spring, measured in meters.

Hence, the least number of forces required to stretch a spring is one.

A plane leaves with an acceleration of 6.34 m/s squared and takes 1.5 hours to stop. What is the speed of the plane? What was th

Maurinko [17]

The answer to this question is Initial velocity of plane will be 34236 m/s and 92437.2 Km is the distance travelled by it.

Three equation of motion are:-

v = u + at
s = ut + (1/2)at²
v² - u² = 2as

Where v is final velocity, u in initial velocity, s is the displacement by the object, a is the acceleration and t denotes the time.

In question we have given deceleration as 6.34 m/s² and time as 1.5 hour which is equal to 5400 seconds.

Applying equation 1 to find the initial speed of plane

v = u + at

0 = u + (-6.34 × 5400) {v=0 as plane will stop after 5400 sec}

u = 6.34 × 5400

u = 34236 m/s

Initial velocity of plane is 34236 m/s

Applying equation 2 to find the displacement of plane in that time period

s = ut + (1/2)at²

s = ( 34236 × 5400 ) - ( (1/2) × 6.34 × 5400² )

s = 5400 × ( 34236 - ((1/2) × 6.34 × 5400) )

s = 5400 × ( 34236 - 17118 )

s = 5400 × 17118 metres

s = 5.4 × 17118 Km

s = 92437.2 Km

Distance travelled by plane is 92437.2 Km

So, the initial velocity of plane will be 34236 m/s and the displacement of plane in that time period will be 92437.2 Km.

Two velcro-covered pucks slide across the ice, collide and stick to one another. Their interaction with the ice is frictionless.

balu736 [363]

Answer:

1. False

2. True

3. False

4. True

Explanation:

Conservation of Momentum

According to the law of conservation of linear momentum, the total momentum of the system formed by both pucks won't change regardless of their interaction if no external forces are acting on the system.

The momentum of an object of mass ma moving at speed va is

$p_a=m_a.v_a$

The total momentum of both pucks at the initial condition is

$p_1=m_a.v_a+m_b.v_b$

Both pucks are moving to the right and puck B has twice the mass of puck A (let's call it m), thus

$m_a=m$

$m_b=2m$

We are given

$v_a=6\ m/s\\v_b=2\ m/s$

The total initial momentum is

$p_1=6m+2(2m)=10m$

At the final condition, both pucks stick together, thus the total mass is 3m and the final speed is common, thus

$p_2=3m.v'$

Equating the initial and final momentum

$10m=3m.v'$

Solving for v'

$v'=10/3\ m/s=3.33\ m/s$

1. Compute the initial kinetic energy:

$\displaystyle K_1=\frac{1}{2}mv_a^2+\frac{1}{2}2mv_b^2$

$\displaystyle K_1=\frac{1}{2}m\cdot 6^2+\frac{1}{2}2m\cdot 2^2$

$K_1=18m+4m=22m$

The final kinetic energy is

$\displaystyle K_2=\frac{1}{2}mv'^2+\frac{1}{2}2mv'^2$

$\displaystyle K_2=\frac{1}{2}m\cdot 3.33^2+\frac{1}{2}2m\cdot 3.33^2$

$K_2=16.63m$

As seen, part of the kinetic energy is lost in the collision, thus the statement is False

2. The initial speed of puck B was 2 m/s and the final speed was 3.33 m/s, thus it increased the speed: True

3. The initial speed of puck A was 6 m/s and the final speed was 3.33 m/s, thus it decreased the speed: False

4. The momentum is conserved since that was the initial assumption to make all the calculations. True

$p_1=10m$

$p_2=3m.v'=3m(10/3)=10m$

Just need the answer

marin [14]

Answer:

1. 1, 2, 4 all show some form of refraction as the bending of a light ray when passing from one media to another.

Explanation:

Number 4 is the most accurate as it also shows some light being reflected and the bending of the refracted light ray in the correct direction for going from a medium of low refractive index (air) into a higher refractive index material (crown glass)
