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.

How could rescue workers use squeezing or compressing to get energy to their flashlights during rescue missions?
Neko [114]

Answer:

Explanation:

During rescue missions, different types of energy can be devices for flashlight, this could be human powered energy such as squeezing or compressing. In flashlight electrical energy is converted to light and thermal energy.

A squeezing or compressing to get energy for flashlight can be regarded as "DYNAMO PROCESS" it involves spinning of "fly wheels" into the flashlight through consistent squeezing ,which is connected to a dynamo(Dynamo supply electrical current). Hence the needed light is seen on the bulb of the flashlight.

a sample contains 100 g of radioactive isotope. How much radioactive isotope will remain in the sample after 1 half-life?
kap26 [50]

Answer:

\huge\boxed{50g}

Definition:

Half-life- The time taken for half of the radioactive isotopes to decay.

Explanation:

How does radioactive decay work? Radioactive decay is a process by which unstable nuclei become more stable through the emission of alpha or beta particles or gamma rays.

Since a half-life is the time taken for half of the isotopes to decay, we can simply divide the initial mass of 100 grams by 2; this gives us 50 grams.

1) Divide 100g by 2.

\frac{100g}{2}=50g

A 0.140-kg baseball is dropped from rest. It has a speed of 1.20 m/s just before it hits the ground, and it rebounds with an upw
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

22 N upward

Explanation:

From the question,

Applying newton's second law of motion

F = m(v-u)/t....................... Equation 1

Where F = Average force exerted by the ground on the ball, m = mass of the baseball, v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, t = time of contact

Note: Let upward be negative and downward be positive

Given: m = 0.14 kg, v = -1.00 m/s, u = 1.2 m/s, t = 0.014 s

Substitute into equation 1

F = 0.14(-1-1.2)/0.014

F = 0.14(-2.2)/0.014

F = 10(-2.2)

F = -22 N

Note the negative sign shows that the force act upward
