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 father uses a rope to pull a child on a sled at a constant speed. of the ones listed which forces are present?
Amanda [17]

All the forces may be present.

The child on the sled has a weight- which is due to the force of gravity on the child and the sled.

The sled and the child exert a force on the ground equal to the combined weight of the sled and the child. The ground exerts a normal force on the sled.

The force used by the father to pull the sled is the applied force.

The sled slides on the ground and as a result, the force of friction exists between the ground and the sled, directed opposite to the direction of the motion of the sled.

The father pulls the sled using a rope. As a result, the rope is under Tension.

As the sled moves it also experiences a force of air resistance, which is dependent on the sled's speed.

However, since the father pulls the sled along with constant speed, the sum of all the forces acting on the sled is zero.

Since there is no movement in the upward or downward directions, the weight of the child and the sled is equal to the normal force acted upon the sled by the ground.

The force applied by the father on the rope is equal to the tension in the rope.

Friction and air resistance act opposite to the direction of motion of the sled. for the sled to move at constant speed, the tension in the rope must be equal to the sum of the forces due to friction and air resistance.

You want to determine whether the mass of an object attached to a parachute affects the time it takes to fall to the ground. In
hammer [34]

Answer:

The Answer is below!!

Explanation:

The larger the area of the parachute, the more air needs to be pushed out of the way, and so the slower it descends. the independent variable is the shape of the parachutes' canopies. The dependent variable is the drop speeds of the parachutes. How long does it take for the parachutes to reach the ground? Measure this using a stopwatch.

Hope I Helped!!

Why do you not come to thermal equilibrium on a cold day
Tju [1.3M]

Two physical systems are in thermal equilibrium if no heat flows between them when they are connected by a path permeable to heat. Thermal equilibrium obeys the zeroth law of thermodynamics. A system is said to be in thermal equilibrium with itself if the temperature within the system is spatially and temporally uniform.

Systems in thermodynamic equilibrium are always in thermal equilibrium, but the converse is not always true. If the connection between the systems allows transfer of energy as heat but does not allow transfer of matter or transfer of energy as work, the two systems may reach thermal equilibrium without reaching thermodynamic equilibrium.

You have given a power supply, copper wire, and an iron nail. What should you do to decrease the strength of the electro magnet?
Shkiper50 [21]
If you wrap some of the wire around the nail in one direction and some of the wire in the other direction, the magnetic fields from the different sections fight each other and cancel out, reducing the strength of your magnet.
