Two masses, each weighing 1.0 × 103 kilograms and moving with the same speed of 12.5 meters/second, are approaching each other.

juin [17]

A perfectly elastic<span> collision is defined as one in which there is no loss of </span>kinetic energy<span> in the collision. Therefore, we just add the kinetic energies of each system. We calculate as follows:

KE = 0.5(</span>1.0 × 10^3)(12.5 )^2 + 0.5(1.0 × 10^3)(12.5 )^2
KE = 156250 J = 1.6 x 10^5 J -------> OPTION A

Which describes an interaction within the musculoskeletal system?

rosijanka [135]

Answer:

The musculoskeletal system involves the complex interactions of muscles, bones, and connective tissues.

When a muscle contracts, a bone will move. When a bone contracts, a muscle will move. When a ligament contracts, a tendon will move.

A 250 g object is hung onto a spring. It stretches 18 cm. Find the spring's spring constant

Juliette [100K]

<h2>Answer: 13.61 N/m</h2>

Hooke's law establishes that the elongation of a spring is directly proportional to the modulus of the force $F$ applied to it, <u>as long as the spring is not permanently deformed</u>:

$F=k (x-x_{o})$ (1)

Where:

$k$ is the elastic constant of the spring. The higher its value, the more work it will cost to stretch the spring.

$x_{o}$ is the length of the spring without applying force.

$x$ is the length of the spring with the force applied.

According to this, we have a spring where only the force due gravity is applied.

In other words, the force applied is the weigth $W$ of the block:

$W=m.g$ (2)

Where $m=250g=0.25kg$ is the mass of the block and $g=9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ is the gravity acceleration.

$W=(0.25kg)(9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}})$ (3)

$W=2.45N$ (4)

Knowing the force applied $W$ and $x=18cm=0.18m$ and $x_{o}=0$ , we can substitute the values in equation (1) and find $k$ :

$W=k (x-x_{o})$ (5)

$2.45N=k (0.18m-0m)$ (6)

<u>Finally:</u>

$k=13.61\frac{N}{m}$

The Coriolis effect

alexandr402 [8]

The coriolis effect is due to the rotation of the earth. Look up youtube videos on it, its pretty cool. If we didn't have coriolis effect then hurricane's wouldn't even form! Also it affects the trajectory of hurricanes. If you look at a path a hurricane takes it always curves quite a bit. That's also because of the coriolis affect. Imagine you're on a merry go round or on some spinning disk. You throw a ball towards the center. The ball will seem to curve away from your target because you're spinning. Now its not because the ball curved and you missed, the ball goes in a straight line but because of the spinning the target you aimed at shifted.
