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 force F~ = Fx ˆı + Fy ˆ acts on a particle that
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

W = 46 J

Explanation:

We need to find the angle between the two vectors Force vector and displacement vector.

First we will find the angle α of the force vector

tan\alpha =\frac{1}{8} \\\\\\alpha =7.125 deg\\

Then we find the angle β of the displacement vector

tan\beta=\frac{2}{6} \\\\beta = 18.43 deg\\

With these two angles we can find the angle between the two vectors

∅ = α + β = 25.56 deg

The definition of work is given by the expression

W=F*d*cos (theta)

The absolute value of F will be:

F=\sqrt{8^{2}+1^{2}  } \\F= 8.06 N

The absolute value of d will be:

d=\sqrt{(6 )^{2}+(2)^{2}  } \\d= 6.32m\\

Now we have:

W=8.06*6.32*cos(25.56)\\W=46 J

Can someone help me with accerleration
dangina [55]

Answer:

acceleration is the rate of change of the velocity of an object with respect to time. Accelerations are vector quantities. The orientation of an object's acceleration is given by the orientation of the net force acting on that object.

SI unit: m/s2, m·s−2, m s−2

The range of a projectile fired at an angle with the horizontal and with an initial velocity of feet per second is where r is me
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

θ = 8.50°

To the nearest angle

θ = 9.0°

the golfer must hit the ball at angle 9° so that it travels 120 feet.

Explanation:

The range of a projectile is the horizontal distance covered by a projectile, which can be written as;

r = (u^2× sin2θ)/g

Where;

r = range

u = initial speed

θ = angle from horizontal

g = acceleration due to gravity

Solving for θ,

sin2θ = rg/u^2

θ = 1/2 × sin⁻¹(rg/u^2) ....1

Given;

r = 120 ft

u = 115 ft/s

g = 9.81m/s = 32.2 ft/s

Substituting the values into the equation 1;

θ = 1/2 × sin⁻¹(120×32.2/115^2)

θ = 1/2 × sin⁻¹(0.29217)

θ = 1/2 × 17.00

θ = 8.50°

To the nearest angle

θ = 9.0°

What is f =ma derivation?<br>​
Veronika [31]

Derive relation F = ma from Newton 2nd Law of Motion. Let us derive the relation of force F = ma from Newton's second law: ... It means that the linear momentum will change faster when a bigger force is applied. Consider a body of mass 'm' moving with velocity v.
