An object slides along a curved track of negligible friction, as shown in the figure. The potential energy U of the object as a

function of the position x is shown in the graph. The object starts at rest at x=0. Which of the following is a correct claim about the motion of the object?
(Would prefer an explanation, but it's not necessary)
A) The kinetic energy of the object is approximately the same at x=2m and x=5m.

B) At x=2m, the object has more potential energy than kinetic energy.

C) The object comes to rest when x=5.5m.

D) The rate of change of the potential energy is a minimum at x=0m.

E) The object achieves its maximum speed at approximately x=3m.

Answer:

E) The object achieves its maximum speed at approximately x=3m.

Explanation:

Since the object is moving in gravitational field

potential energy + kinetic energy = constant = 14 J

At  x = 3 m , potential energy is minimum that is zero

kinetic energy will be maximum .

Kinetic energy = 14 - 0 = 14 J

Hence option ( E ) is the answer.

Sabiendo que el indice de refracción dela gua es 1,33 calcula el ángulo de refracción resultante para un rayo de luz que incide
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

35.16 degrees

Explanation:

Knowing that the index of refraction of the guide is 1.33, calculate the resulting angle of refraction for a ray of light that falls on a pool with an angle of incidence of 50º

Refractive index, n = 1.33

The angle of incidence, i = 50°

We need to find the angle of refraction. let it is r. It can be calculated using Snells law as follows:

n=\dfrac{\sin i}{\sin r}\\\\\sin r=\dfrac{\sin i}{n}\\\\r=\sin^{-1}(\dfrac{\sin i}{n})\\\\r=\sin^{-1}(\dfrac{\sin 50}{1.33})\\\\r=35.16^{\circ}

So, the angle of refraction is 35.16 degrees.

Please help!!!! Will mark brainliest.
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

Approximately 8.4 \times 10^{2}\; \rm N, assuming that g = 9.8\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}.

Explanation:

Let m and a denote the mass and acceleration of Spiderman, respectively.

There are two forces on Spiderman:

  • Downward gravitational attraction from the earth: W = m \cdot g.
  • Upward tension force from the strand of web F(\text{tension}).

The directions of these two forces are exactly opposite of one another. Besides, because Spiderman is accelerating upwards, the magnitude of F(\text{tension}) (which points upwards) should be greater than that of W (which points downwards towards the ground.)

Subtract the smaller force from the larger one to find the net force on Spiderman:

(\text{Net Force}) = F(\text{tension}) - W.

On the other hand, apply Newton's Second Law of motion to find the value of the net force on Spiderman:

(\text{Net Force}) = m \cdot a.

Combine these two equations to get:

m \cdot a = (\text{Net Force}) = F(\text{tension}) - W.

Therefore:

\begin{aligned}& F(\text{tension})\\ &= m \cdot a + W \\ &= m \cdot (a + g)\\ &= 76\; \rm kg \times \left(1.3\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2} + 9.8\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}\right)\\ &\approx 8.4\times 10^{2}\; \rm N\end{aligned}.

By Newton's Third Law of motion, Spiderman would exert a force of the same size on the strand of web. Hence, the size of the force in the strand of the web should be approximately 8.4\times 10^{2}\; \rm N (downwards.)

Dave throws a 10 kg bowling ball straight up in the air. At the very tippy-top of its path, what is it's momentum?
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:Zero

Explanation:

Given

mass of ball m=10\ kg

If the ball is thrown upward then at maximum point velocity of ball is zero because ball is no longer able to move upward

Momentum(P) of a particle is given by

P=mass\times velocity

P=10\times 0

P=0

Therefore at the highest point momentum is zero .

Two objects with masses m and 3m are connected by a compressed spring so that the energy stored in the spring is 375 joules. If
cluponka [151]

Answer:

281.25 J

Explanation:

We are told that the two objects with masses m and 3m.

Also that energy stored in the spring is 375 joules.

Now, initially the centre of mass of the system took place at rest, it means v1 = v and v2 = v/3

Thus, from principle of conservation of energy, we have;

½mv² + ½(3m)(v/3)² = 375J

(m + 3m/9)½v² = 375

(4/3)m × ½v² = 375

Multiply both sides by ¾ to get;

½mv² = 375 × ¾

½mv² = 281.25 J

Therefore, energy of lighter body is 281.25 J

Fighter jet starting from airbase A flies 300 km east , then 350 km at 30° west of north and then 150km north to arrive finally
Tems11 [23]
A jet fighter flies from the airbase A 300 km East to the point M. Then 350 km at 30° West of North.
It means : at 60° North of West. So the distance from the final point to the line AM is :
350 · cos 60° = 350 · 0.866 = 303.1 km
Let`s assume that there is a line N on AM.
AN = 125 km and NM = 175 km.
And finally jet fighter flies 150 km North to arrive at airbase B.
NB = 303.1 + 150 = 453.1 km
Then we can use the Pythagorean theorem.
d ( AB ) = √(453.1² + 125²) = √(205,299.61 + 15,625) = 470 km
Also foe a direction: cos α = 125 / 470 = 0.266
α = cos^(-1) 0.266 = 74.6°
90° - 74.6° = 15.4°
Answer: The distance between the airbase A and B is 470 km.
Direction is : 15.4° East from the North.
