A horizontal spring with spring constant 85 n/m extends outward from a wall just above floor level. a 3.5 kg box sliding across

a frictionless floor hits the end of the spring and compresses it 6.5 cm before the spring expands and shoots the box back out. how fast was the box going when it hit the spring?

k = spring constant of the spring = 85 N/m

m = mass of the box sliding towards the spring = 3.5 kg

v = speed of box just before colliding with the spring = ?

x = compression the spring = 6.5 cm = 6.5 cm (1 m /100 cm) = 0.065 m

the kinetic energy of box just before colliding with the spring converts into the spring energy of the spring when it is fully compressed.

Using conservation of energy

Kinetic energy of spring before collision = spring energy of spring after compression

(0.5) m v² = (0.5) k x²

m v² = k x²

inserting the values

(3.5 kg) v² = (85 N/m) (0.065 m)²

v = 0.32 m/s

If your parasympathetic nervous system was activated what might you be doing?
Bezzdna [24]
A. Relaxing under a tree.

The parasympathetic nervous system is known as the “rest and digest” system. Activities that require as little movement as possible help the heart rate to slow down. The other activities would be associated with the Sympathetic nervous system which is known as the “fight or flight,” or when your heart rate is up and running.

A particle initially at rest moves along in a line so that its acceleration is a(t) = 10/(t+1) for t>=0.
ddd [48]

Answer: 16.09m/s

Explanation:

Given the acceleration a(t) = 10/(t+1), to derive the velocity function, we need integrate the acceleration function.

v(t) = integral{10/t+1}dt

Since all constants always come out of the integral, the equation becomes;

v(t) = 10integral{1/t+1}dt

One of the integral law is that if the numerator of the function to be integrated is the differential of the denominator, the resulting answer will be natural logarithm of the denominator i.e ln(t+1) since the denominator is ln(t+1) and if differentiated will give us 1 which is the numerator hence, the reason for the answer ln(t+1)

v(t) = 10ln(t+1)

@ t= 4, the velocity of the particle

v(4) = 10ln(4+1)

v(4) = 10ln5

v(4) = 16.09m/s²

Therefore, the velocity of the particle at time t=4 is 16.09m/s
