A 0.454-kg block is attached to a horizontal spring that is at its equilibrium length, and whose force constant is 25.0 N/m. The

block rests on a frictionless surface. A 5.70×10−2-kg wad of putty is thrown horizontally at the block, hitting it with a speed of 8.99 m/s and bounced with the same speed of 8.99 m/s in opposite direction. How far does the block compresses the spring?

The total momentum of the block and putty prior to their collision is

(0.454 kg) (0 m/s) + (5.70 × 10⁻² kg) (8.99 m/s) ≈ 0.512 kg•m/s

and the total momentum after the collision is

(0.454 kg) <em>v</em> + (5.70 × 10⁻² kg) (-8.99 m/s)

where <em>v</em> is the velocity of the block. Momentum is conserved, so

(0.454 kg) <em>v</em> + (5.70 × 10⁻² kg) (-8.99 m/s) = 0.512 kg•m/s

==>   <em>v</em> ≈ 2.26 m/s

The total work done on the block by the spring as it gets compressed by a distance <em>x</em> is equal to the change in the block's kinetic energy:

1/2 (25.0 N/m) <em>x</em> ² = 1/2 (0.454 kg) (2.26 m/s) - 0

==>   <em>x</em> ≈ 0.202 m ≈ 20.2 cm

What is the acceleration experiance by a car that takes 10s to reach 27m/s from rest
lina2011 [118]

Magnitude of acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change).

Change in speed  =  (27 - 0)  =  27 m/s
Time for the change = 10 s

Magnitude of acceleration =  (27 m/s) / (10 s)  =  2.7 m/s²  .

Explain the difference between the synodic period of a planet and the sidereal period. why is the synodic period often much less
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]
-Synodic period is the period of celestial bodies observed on the moving planet(mostly earth)
Sideral period is the period comparing to the fixed stars without motion of the earth involved.

(I will explain the second question with an example, so it's easier to understand)
-For Sideral month for example of the moon it cactually complete one revolution in around 27.3 days.
However, since the earth moves, for us it took some more time to see the moon the same as before (fullmoon to fullmoon) again. That make synodic month of the moon to be around 29.5 days.

A constant force is exerted on a cart that is initially at rest on a frictionless air track. The force acts for a short time int
Inessa05 [86]

Let <em>F</em> be the magnitude of the force applied to the cart, <em>m</em> the mass of the cart, and <em>a</em> the acceleration it undergoes. After time <em>t</em>, the cart accelerates from rest <em>v</em>₀ = 0 to a final velocity <em>v</em>. By Newton's second law, the first push applies an acceleration of

<em>F</em> = <em>m a</em>   →   <em>a</em> = <em>F </em>/ <em>m</em>

so that the cart's final speed is

<em>v</em> = <em>v</em>₀ + <em>a</em> <em>t</em>

<em>v</em> = (<em>F</em> / <em>m</em>) <em>t</em>

<em />

If we force is halved, so is the accleration:

<em>a</em> = <em>F</em> / <em>m</em>   →   <em>a</em>/2 = <em>F</em> / (2<em>m</em>)

So, in order to get the cart up to the same speed <em>v</em> as before, you need to double the time interval <em>t</em> to 2<em>t</em>, since that would give

(<em>F</em> / (2<em>m</em>)) (2<em>t</em>) = (<em>F</em> / <em>m</em>) <em>t</em> = <em>v</em>
