Answer:

Since steel contains iron (a magnetic metal), the magnets will attract the steel cans since aluminum is not magnetic. This is used to separate the steel cans from the aluminum cans so they can be recycled separately.

Near the top of the Citigroup Center building in New York City, there is an object with mass of 4.8 x 105 kg on springs that hav

Vikki [24]

Answer:

The force constant is $k =1.316 *10^{7} \ N/m$

The energy stored in the spring is $E = 1.68 *10^{7} \ J$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of the object is $M = 4.8*10^{5} \ kg$

The period is $T = 1.2 \ s$

The period of the spring oscillation is mathematically represented as

$T =2 \pi \sqrt{ \frac{M}{k}}$

where k is the force constant

So making k the subject

$k = \frac{4 \pi ^2 M }{T^2}$

substituting values

$k = \frac{4 (3.142) ^2 (4.8 *10^{5}) }{(1.2)^2}$

$k =1.316 *10^{7} \ N/m$

The energy stored in the spring is mathematically represented as

$E = \frac{1}{2} k x^2$

Where x is the spring displacement which is given as

$x = 1.6 \ m$

substituting values

$E = \frac{1}{2} (1.316 *10^{7}) (1.6)^2$

$E = 1.68 *10^{7} \ J$

Suppose that you are swimming in a river while a friend watches from the shore. In calm water, you swim at a speed of 1.25 m/s .

aliya0001 [1]

Answer: The observing friend will the swimmer moving at a speed of 0.25 m/s.

Explanation:

Let S be the speed of the swimmer, given as 1.25 m/s

Let $S_{0}$ be the speed of the river's current given as 1.00 m/s.

Note that this speed is the magnitude of the velocity which is a vector quantity.

The direction of the swimmer is upstream.

Hence the resultant velocity is given as, $S_{R}$ = S — S 0 $S_{0}$

$S_{R}$ = 1.25 — 1

$S_{R}$ = 0.25 m/s.

Therefore, the observing friend will see the swimmer moving at a speed of 0.25 m/s due to resistance produced by the current of the river.

The components of a 10.8-meters-per-second velocity at an angle of 34.° above the horizontal are

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

6.0 m/s vertical and 9.0 m/s horizontal

Explanation:

For the vertical component, we use the formula:

Sin(34°) = y / 10.8

Then we solve for y:

0.559 = y / 10.8

y = 6.0

And for the horizontal component, we use the formula:

Cos(34°) = x / 10.8

Then we solve for x:

0.829 = x / 10.8

y = 9.0

So the answer is " 6.0 m/s vertical and 9.0 m/s horizontal".

pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

13 meters

Explanation:

Step one:

given

We are told that Nathalie leaves a history classroom and walks 3 meters North

Then travels another 10 meters south to an art classroom.

Required

The total distance.

Step two:

The total distance can be computed by summing up the 3 meter North distance traveled and the 10 meter south distance traveled

Total distance= 3+10= 13meters
