It is salt water because they are two things combined together.
Answer: B. The particles mover faster.
Given Information:
slope angle = θ = 30°
spring constant = k = 30 N/m
compressed length = x = 10 cm = 0.10 m
mass of ice cube = m = 63 g = 0.063 kg
Required Information:
distance traveled by ice cube = d = ?
Answer:
distance traveled by ice cube = 0.48 m
Explanation:
Using the the principle of conversation of energy, the following relation holds true for this case,
mgh = 1/2*kx²
h = 1/2*kx²/mg
Where h is the height of the slope, m is the mass of ice cube, k is the spring constant and x is the compressed length o the spring and g is gravitational acceleration.
h = 1/2*kx²/mg
h = 1/2*30(0.1)²/0.063*9.8
h = 0.242 m
From trigonometry ratio,
sinθ = h/d
d = h/sinθ
d = 0.242/sin(30)
d = 0.48 m
Therefore, when the ice cube is released, it will travel a total distance 0.48 up the slope before reversing direction.
Yes. Think of block sitting on top of a bigger block. If the bottom block moves, it will drag the top block with it. Since the force of friction on the small block and its displacement are in the same direction, the "work" is positive. The static friction is a passive force, It is not a source of energy; it transmits the force placed on the bottom block. (And the "work" done by the friction on the bottom block is exactly the negative of the work done on the top block.)
