A vertical spring with a spring constant of 420 N/m is mounted on the floor. From directly above the spring, which is unstrained

, a 0.15-kg block is dropped from rest. It collides with and sticks to the spring, which is compressed by 3.7 cm in bringing the block to a momentary halt. Assuming air resistance is negligible, from what height above the compressed spring was the block dropped

Answer:

19.53 cm

Explanation:

The computation of the height is as follows:

Here we applied the conservation of the energy formula

As we know that

P.E of the block = P.E of the spring

 m g h = ( 1 ÷ 2) k x^2

where

m = 0.15

g = 9.81

k = 420

x = 0.037

So now put the values to the above formula

(0.15) (9.81) (h) = 1 ÷2 × 420 × (0.037)^2

1.4715 (h) = 0.28749

h = 0.19537 m

= 19.53 cm

A 75-kg human footprint is 0.05 m when the human is wearing boots. Suppose you want to walk on snow surfce that can at most supp
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

area is  0.245 m²

Explanation:

The equation for pressure is

       P = F / A

Where P is the pressure, F the force and A the area where the force is applied.

With the data we can calculate the pressure applied by the feet on the human on the floor

        P1 = W / A = mg / A

        P1 = 75 9.8 / 0.05

        P1 = 14700 Pa

Now they tell us that the maxi maque pressure supports the snow is 3 kPa = 3000 Pa, the way to decrease the pressure is to increase the area on which force is applied.

        P2 = F / A2

 

 In this case we will calculate the minimum area, so we use the maximum pressure that supports the snow (P2 = 3000 Pa) and the force remains the weight of man

        A2 = F / P2

        A2= mg / P2

        A2 = 75 9.8 / 3000

       A2 = 0.245 m²

For a block to move down an inclined plane what force has to be the greatest?
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

D) True. This is what creates the body weight

Explanation:

Let's write Newton's second law for this case. For inclined planes the reference system takes one axis parallel to the plane (x axis) and the other perpendicular to the plane (y axis)

X axis

          Wx -fr = ma

Y Axis

          N - Wy = 0

With trigonometry we can find the components of weight

          sin θ = Wₓ / W

         cos θ = W_{y} / W

         Wₓ = W sin θ

          W_{y} = W cos θ

        W  sin θ - fr = ma

From this expression as it indicates that the body is descending the force greater is the gravity that create the weight of the body

Let's examine the answers

A False This force does not apply because it is not a spring

B) False. It is balanced at all times with the component (Wy) of the weight

C) False. For there to be a rope, if it exists you should be less than the weight component for the block to lower

D) True. This is what creates the body weight

E) False. The cutting force occurs for force applied at a single point and gravity is applied at all points

2. Osmosis is the process by which a solvent (water) moves through a semipermeable membrane into a solution with higher solute concentration from a solution with a lower solute concentration.

3. Diffusion is the process by which a solvent (water) moves from an area with higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.

(for one and 2 the first one is more wordy and with more scientific words but you can sub the words into either one to make it more or less wordy)

3. Animalia, Plantea, Fungi, and Protista. Protista cannot be classified as an animal, plant, or fungus.

4. Organelle, cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, organisms, populations, communities, ecosystem, and biosphere.

5. I don't have the organelles to identify.

7. Taxonomy is the branch of science with classification, especially of organisms. Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species.

8. I'm not sure about the first question. Scientists name plants and animals using a system that describes the genus and species of an organism.

I did the best I could answering I really hope this helps!!

If you wanted to find a sample of fermium, which has an atomic number of 100, where would you look?
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Fermium is a synthetic element with the symbol Fm and atomic number 100. It is an actinide and the heaviest element that can be formed by neutron bombardment of lighter elements, and hence the last element that can be prepared in macroscopic quantities, although pure fermium metal has not yet been prepared.[3] A total of 19 isotopes are known, with 257Fm being the longest-lived with a half-life of 100.5 days.

It was discovered in the debris of the first hydrogen bomb explosion in 1952, and named after Enrico Fermi, one of the pioneers of nuclear physics. Its chemistry is typical for the late actinides, with a preponderance of the +3 oxidation state but also an accessible +2 oxidation state. Owing to the small amounts of produced fermium and all of its isotopes having relatively short half-lives, there are currently no uses for it outside basic scientific research.
