During spring semester at MIT, residents of the parallel buildings of the East Campus dorms battle one another with large catapu

lts that are made with surgical hose mounted on a window frame. A balloon filled with dyed water is placed in a pouch attached to the hose, which is then stretched through the width of the room. Assume that the stretching of the hose obeys Hooke's law with a spring constant of 88.0 N/m. If the hose is stretched by 4.20 m and then released, how much work does the force from the hose do on the balloon in the pouch by the time the hose reaches its relaxed length

Answer:

The work done on the hose by the time the hose reaches its relaxed length is 776.16 Joules

Explanation:

The given spring constant of the of the spring, k = 88.0 N/m

The length by which the hose is stretched, x = 4.20 m

For the hose that obeys Hooke's law, and the principle of conservation of energy, the work done by the force from the hose is equal to the potential energy given to the hose

The elastic potential energy, P.E., of a compressed spring is given as follows;

P.E. = 1/2·k·x²

∴ The potential energy given to hose, P.E. = 1/2 × 88.0 N/m × (4.20 m)²

1/2 × 88.0 N/m × (4.20 m)² = 776.16 J

The work done on the hose = The potential energy given to hose, P.E. = 776.16 J

The greenhouse effect presentation summarized? ​
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

What is the greenhouse effect?

The greenhouse effect is the way in which heat is trapped close to Earth's surface by “greenhouse gases.”

Explanation:

These heat-trapping gases can be thought of as a blanket wrapped around Earth, keeping the planet toastier than it would be without them. Greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxides, and water vapor. (Water vapor, which responds physically or chemically to changes in temperature, is called a "feedback.") Scientists have determined that carbon dioxide's warming effect helps stabilize Earth's atmosphere. Remove carbon dioxide, and the terrestrial greenhouse effect would collapse. Without carbon dioxide, Earth's surface would be some 33°C (59°F) cooler.

A frog is at the bottom of a 17-foot well. Each time the frog leaps, it moves up 3 feet. If the frog has not reached the top of
docker41 [41]

Answer:

The frog takes 8 jumps to reach top of well

Explanation:

Given data

Frog at bottom=17 foot

Each time frog leaps 3 feet

Frog has not reached the top of the well, then the frog slides back 1 foot

To Find

Total number of leaps the frog needed to escape from well

Solution

in 1 jump distance jumped=3+(-1)

                                           =2 feet

                                           =2×1 feet

The "-1" is because the frog goes back

Now After 2 jumps the distance jumped as:

                     Distance Jumped=2+2

                     Distance Jumped=2*2

                                                   =4 feet

Similarly after 7 jumps

                    Distance Jumped=2+2+......+2

                    Distance Jumped=2*7

                                                 =14 feet

Now after 8th jump the frog climbs but doesnot slide back as it is reached to the top of well.

So

              Distance Jumped=(Distance Jumped after 7 jumps)+3

                                           =14+3

                                           =17 feet

The frog takes 8 jumps to reach top of well

1. What is the acceleration of a car that goes from 20 Km/hr to 100 km/hr in 8 seconds?
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

10 :)

You have to divide the difference of speed and divide it by the time. So 100-20 would be 80, and if you divide that by 8 it would be 10.

Hope this helps.

The alternative to nuclear fission reactors in a nuclear fusion reactor. Explain why it is much more difficult to get a fusion r
Sliva [168]

Answer: The major challenges are as

1) understanding of the plasma: Plasma is a soup like mixture of subatomic particles of different atoms nuclei and electrons that are shattered apart by the temperature at which plasma is formed. further research is needed to understand the behavior of plasma so that it can be put to a proper use.

2) Confinement of plasma: Once we get the plasma we need to hold it so that we can obtain heat from it to drive a steam turbine but the sheer temperature of plasma is in millions of Celsius thus currently making it impossible to confine conventionally. Scientists use a loop of electric and magnetic fields to keep it in circulatory like manner so that it can be studied.

3) finally to obtain electricity from the plasma it should be stable to produce electricity. But currently to obtain pressure, temperature so that we have a sustained supply is highly difficult in technical and economical aspects.

Inertial confinement: In order to get the nuclei of atoms close enough for fusion this type of method used compression of the nuclei into highly small volumes.This is accomplished by use of lasers which are directed towards the fuel pellets that implode and travel towards other nuclei making fusion possible. It's main advantage is that it requires lesser time to initiate fusion but the disadvantage being that a large power is used to fire the lasers and the lasers should all hit the small target.

Magnetic Confinement: In this method we use a magnetic and electric fields in a properly designed space to keep the plasma in motion. In motion the nuclei of the atoms come close enough to initiate fusion.It's advantage being less power is required to start the process as compared to inertial confinement and the disadvantage being that plasma confinement is currently not properly understood.
