PLEASE HELP!! A 2.0 kg moving cart hits a spring with a spring constant 50.0 N/m. Assume the system is frictionless. When the ca

rt has come to rest, how far has the spring compressed?

Explanation:

A spring has a spring constant, (k), of 3 N/m. It is stretched until it is extended by 50 cm. Calculate the elastic potential energy stored by the spring, assuming it is not stretched beyond the limit of proportionality.

First convert centimetres to metres:

50 cm = 50 ÷ 100 = 0.5 m

Then calculate using the values in the question:

Ee=12 k e2

Ee=12×3×0.52

Ee=1.5×0.25

Ee=0.375 J

The period of the oscillations.T = 1.2042s

Opposition is the process of any quantity or measure fluctuating repeatedly about its equilibrium value throughout time. This process is referred to as oscillation. Oscillation, a periodic fluctuation of a substance, can also be described as alternating between two values or rotating around a central value.

Typically, the mathematical formula for the moment of inertia is

T = 2 π √(I / mgd)

Therefore, a moment of inertia

I = 9.00×10-3 + md^2 ;

I=9.00*10^{-3}+ 0.5 * 0.3^2

I=0.054

T=2\pi \sqrt{0.5*9.8*0.3}

T=1.2042s

The period of the oscillations.T = 1.2042s

(a) when rebuilding her car's engine, a physics major must exert 300 n of force to insert a dry steel piston into a steel cylind
Vilka [71]
There are some missing data in the text of the problem. I've found them online:
a) coefficient of friction dry steel piston - steel cilinder: 0.3
b) coefficient of friction with oil in between the surfaces: 0.03

Solution:
a) The force F applied by the person (300 N) must be at least equal to the frictional force, given by:
F_f = \mu N
where \mu is the coefficient of friction, while N is the normal force. So we have:
F=\mu N
since we know that F=300 N and \mu=0.3, we can find N, the magnitude of the normal force:
N= \frac{F}{\mu}= \frac{300 N}{0.3}=1000 N

b) The problem is identical to that of the first part; however, this time the coefficienct of friction is \mu=0.03 due to the presence of the oil. Therefore, we have:
N= \frac{F}{\mu}= \frac{300 N}{0.03}=10000 N

A rabbit is hopping along at an approximately constant speed of 3.9 m/s. The rabbit passes a crouched cat ready to chase the rab
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

t  = 7,8 s

Explanation:

From the instant, the rabbit passes the cat. The cat star running acceleration of 0,5 m/s² .

When the cat arrives at the speed of 3,9 m/s the cat catches the rabbit

Then for the cat arrives at 3,9 m/s nedds

v = vo + a*t     vo  = 0  then   v = a*t

3,9 ( m/s) = 0,5 ( m/s² ) * t

t  = 7,8 s

v  =  3,9 m/s =

What two models are used to describe how light behaves
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

Light is one of nature's ways of moving energy from one place to another.

Explanation:

It has no substance, or mass. How does light travel? Light behaves like a traveling wave, something like waves in a string or on the surface of water.
