An object of mass 2.0 kg is attached to the top of a vertical spring that is anchored to the floor. The unstressed length of the

spring is 8.0 cm and the length of the spring when the object is in equilibrium is 5.9 cm. When the object is resting at its equilibrium position, it is given a sharp downward blow with a hammer so that its initial speed is 0.30 m/s. (a) To what maximum height above the floor does the object eventually rise

Answer:

The value is A  =  0.014 \  m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The mass of the object is  m  =  2.0 \  kg

    The unstressed length of the string is  l  =  0.08 \  m

    The length of the spring when it is  at equilibrium is  l_e = 5.9 \  cm  =  0.059 \  m

      The initial speed (maximum speed)of the spring when given a downward blow v  =  0.30 \  m/s

Generally the maximum speed  of the spring  is mathematically represented as

           u =  A *  w

Here A is maximum height above the floor (i.e the maximum amplitude)

            and w is the angular frequency which is mathematically represented as

       w = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }

So

        u =  A *   \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }

=>      A  =  u *   \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }

Gnerally the length of the compression(Here an assumption that the spring was compressed to the ground by the hammer is made) by the hammer is mathematically represented as

           b  =  l -l_e

=>         b  = 0.08 - 0.05 9

=>         b  = 0.021 \  m

Generally at equilibrium position the net force acting on the spring is  

            k *  b  -  mg  =  0

=>         k *  0.021   -   2 * 9.8  =  0

=>        k =  933 \  N/m

So

            A  =  0.30  *   \sqrt{\frac{2}{933} }

=>          A  =  0.014 \  m

When passing from a low index of refraction medium to a high index of refraction medium which way does the refracted ray bend: t
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

toward the normal

Explanation:

Light travels at different speed in different mediums.

Refractive index is equal to velocity of the light 'c' in empty space divided by the velocity 'v' in the substance.

Or ,

n = c/v.

Light travels at a slower speed in water as compared to air because there are more number of interfering molecules in the path of the light in case of water as compared to liquid.  

When a light travels from lower denser medium say water to higher denser medium say water, it bends towards the perpendicular (normal) as its speed reduces in that medium.

Define static electricity and ohms law​
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

Static electricity : is a familiar electric phenomenon in which charged particles are transferred from one body to another

Ohm's law : states that the voltage or potential difference between two points is directly proportional to the current or electricity passing through the resistance

Before colliding, the momentum of block A is -100 kg*m/, and block B is -150 kg*m/s. After, block A has a momentum -200 kg*m/s.
rjkz [21]

Answer:

Momentum of block B after collision =-50\ kg\ ms^{-1}

Explanation:

Given

Before collision:

Momentum of block A = p_{A1}= -100\ kg\ ms^{-1}

Momentum of block B = p_{B1}= -150\ kg\ ms^{-1}

After collision:

Momentum of block A = p_{A2}= -200\ kg\ ms^{-1}

Applying law of conservation of momentum to find momentum of block B after collision p_{B2}.

p_{A1}+p_{B1}=p_{A2}+p_{B2}

Plugging in the given values and simplifying.

-100-150=-200+p_{B2}

-250=-200+p_{B2}

Adding 200 to both sides.

200-250=-200+p_{B2}+200

-50=p_{B2}

∴ p_{B2}=-50\ kg\ ms^{-1}

Momentum of block B after collision =-50\ kg\ ms^{-1}

A vector has an x-component
NeTakaya

Answer:

34.45m

Explanation:

Magnitude of a vector is equal to the square root of sum of squares of x & y vectors.

Magnitude = \sqrt({x^2} + {y^2})

= \sqrt({19.5^2} + {28.4^2})

=34.45m
