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

Eric has a mass of 80 kgkg. He is standing on a scale in an elevator that is accelerating downward at 1.7 m/s2m/s2. What is the
kolezko [41]

Answer:

The answer will be 936 N.

Explanation:

Given that

m = 80 kg

Acceleration of the elevator , a= 1.7 m/s²  ( upward)

The gravity force on the mass = m g

The reading on the scale = F N

Now by applying the Newton's second law

F - m g = ma

F= m g + m a

F= m ( g +a )

F= 80 ( 10 + 1.7 ) N                                  ( take g= 10 m/s²)

F=80 x 11.7 N

F= 936 N

Therefore the reading on the scale will be 936 N.

The answer will be 936 N.

A vertical spring with stiffness k originally is at rest with no mass attached. Then, a mass M is attached, and the spring rocks
Alina [70]

Answer:

The position of the spring in terms of g, m & k is x = \frac{m g}{k}

Explanation:

Stiffness of the spring = k

Mass = m

When a mass m is attached with the spring then spring stretched. in that case the force exerted on the spring is equal to weight of the mass attached.

⇒ Force exerted on the spring F = k x

⇒ m g = k x

⇒ x = \frac{m g}{k}

This is the position of the spring in terms of g, m & k.

If the mass of an object is 8 kg and its momentum is -80 kgm/s, what is its velocity?
Dimas [21]

An object's momentum is the product of its mass and its velocity:

p = mv

p is its momentum, m is its mass, and v is its velocity.

Given values:

p = -80kg×m/s

m = 8kg

Plug in these values and solve for v:

-80 = 8v

v = -10m/s

Lighting a match changes chemical energy into heat and light. The total amount of energy _____.
Mariulka [41]
Hello.

The answer is <span>remains the same.

</span>The total amount of energy stays the same because the 1st Law of Thermodynamics states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, it can only change forms. <span>So the chemical energy is just being converted into heat and light.
