A spring with a spring constant of 1730 N/m is compressed 0.136 m from its equilibrium position with an object having a mass of

1.72 kg. The spring is released and the object moves along a frictionless surface when it reaches a small embankment. If the speed of the object is 2.45 m/s at location A, what is the embankment height h

Given :

A spring with a spring constant of 1730 N/m is compressed 0.136 m from its equilibrium position with an object having a mass of 1.72 kg.

To Find :

The embankment in the height.

Solution :

Since no external force is acting in the system, therefore total energy will be conserved.

Initial kinetic energy of the object = Energy stored in spring

K.E _i = \dfrac{kx^2}{2}\\\\K.E_i = \dfrac{1730\times 0.136^2}{2}\\\\K.E_i = 16\ J

Also, initial potential energy is 0.

Now,

K.E_i + P.E_i = K.E_f + P.E_f\\\\16 + 0 = \dfrac{1.72\times 2.45^2}{2}+ mgh\\\\mgh =16 - 5.16\\\\h = \dfrac{16 - 5.16}{1.72 \times 9.8}\\\\h = 0.64\ m

Therefore, the embankment height is 0.64 m.

A mass m = 75 kg slides on a frictionless track that has a drop, followed by a loop-the-loop with radius R = 19.2 m and finally
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

The velocity is 19.39 m/s

Solution:

As per the question:

Mass, m = 75 kg

Radius, R = 19.2 m

Now,

When the mass is at the top position in the loop, then the necessary centrifugal force is to keep the mass on the path is provided by the gravitational force acting downwards.

F_{C} = F_{G}

\frac{mv^{2}}{R} = mg

where

v = velocity

g = acceleration due to gravity

v = \sqrt{2gR} = \sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 19.2} = 19.39\ m/s

True or false? A protostellar cloud spins faster as it contracts
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

No. The protostellar cloud spins faster in the collapsing stage (stage 1) and becomes much slower in the contraction stage (stage 2)

Explanation:

Once the cloud is so dense that the heat which is being produced in its center cannot easily escape, pressure rapidly rises, and catches up with the weight, or whatever external force is causing the cloud to collapse, and the cloud becomes stable, as a protostellar cloud.

The protostellar cloud will become more dense over thousands of years. This stage of decreasing size is known as a contraction, rather than a collapse. In the contraction stage the cloud has become much slower, and because weight and pressure are more or less in balance. In the first stage of formation, the decrease of size is very rapid, and compressive forces completely overwhelm the pressure of the gas, and we say that the cloud is collapsing.

How much metabolic energy is required for a 68kg person to run at a speed of 15km/hr for 15min ?
irga5000 [103]
<span>What I have here is exactly the same problem, however, with the time changed to 19 mins:

metabolic energy = metabolic power*time = 1.150*19*60 = 1.311 kJ..corresponding to 1.311/4.186 = 313,2 Cal or kcal 

If we reasonably assume a metabolic eff.cy of 20%, it means we need to assume food for 1500 Cal approx.

Just plug the value t=15min to the equation and you will surely get the correct answer.

I hope my answer has come to your help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly. We hope to answer more of your questions and inquiries soon. Have a nice day ahead!
