A slinky is traveling down the stairs, like in the video clip below. What is the total KINETIC ENERGY of the slinky at the botto

m of the stairs (just before it stops moving) IF the Height of the stairs is 2 meters, the weight of the slinky is 4.41 Newtons, its spring constant is 0.84 N/m, and the distance the slinky is initially stretched (to get it going) is 0.25 meters??

Answer:

8.79 J

Explanation:

Given that a slinky is traveling down the stairs, like in the video clip below. What is the total KINETIC ENERGY of the slinky at the bottom of the stairs (just before it stops moving) IF the Height of the stairs is 2 meters, the weight of the slinky is 4.41 Newtons, its spring constant is 0.84 N/m, and the distance the slinky is initially stretched (to get it going) is 0.25 meters??

Total energy = mgh

Total energy = 4.41 × 2 = 8.82 J

Elastic potential energy = 1/2 × Ke^2

Elastic potential energy = 1/2 × 0.84 × 0.25^2

Elastic potential energy = 0.02625

Also,

Total energy = P.E + K.E

Substitute them into the formula above

8.82 = 0.02625 + K.E

K.E = 8.82 - 0.02625

K.E = 8.79375

K.E = 8.79 J

Therefore, the KINETIC ENERGY of the slinky at the bottom of the stairs is 8.79 Joules approximately

Answer: The object moves with constant velocity

Explanation:

In this velocity vs time graph we're dealing with Ap physics or regents physics. If we look at the slope we can see it is constant or not changing. Even so lets check the other answers and prove them wrong

The objects speed increases: This is wrong because the line shows a steady 5m/s with no change

The object is in free fall: If the object was in freefall the speed would be increasing as a result of acceleration due to gravity

The object moves with a constant speed: This seems to be the case since the slope or line doesn't change at all

The object stays at rest: Can't be right because the object is at a speed of 5m/s so we know its moving at least

The objects speed decreases: Again the line isn't going up or down so we can't say speed increases or decreases

assuming that the seafloor is spreading at a rate of 1.3cm/yr, calculate how long it took africa's west coast to move 2400 kn aw
Verdich [7]

Answer: 184,615,384.6 years

Explanation:

This problem can be solve by the following equation:

V=\frac{d}{t} (1)

Where:

V=1.3 \frac{cm}{year} \frac{1 km}{100000 cm}=0.000013 \frac{km}{year} is the spreading rate of the seafloor, its velocity

d=2400 km is the distance the Africa's west coast moved at this rate

t is the time it took to the coast to move the descibed distance

Isolating t from (1):

t=\frac{d}{V} (2)

t=\frac{2400 km}{0.000013 \frac{km}{year}} (3)

Finally:

t=184,615,384.6 years This is the time it took to the Africa's west coastto  move away from the Mid atlantic ridge.
