An ore car of mass 39000 kg starts from rest and rolls downhill on tracks from a mine. At the end of the tracks, 25 m lower vert
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

x = 5.79 m

Explanation:

given,

mass of the car = 39000 Kg

spring constant = 5.7 x 10⁵ N/m

acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

height of the track = 25 m

length of spring compressed = ?

using conservation of energy

potential energy is converted into spring energy

m g h = \dfrac{1}{2}kx^2

x =\sqrt{\dfrac{2 m g h}{k}}

x =\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 39000 \times 9.8 \times 25}{5.7 \times 10^{5}}}

x =\sqrt{33.5263}

x = 5.79 m

the spring is compressed to x = 5.79 m to stop the car.

the winner of a 10km road race took half an hour to complete the race. Calculate the average speed. Give your answer in metres p
leonid [27]
Hello there!

For this:

1). Convert 10km to meters!
2). Convert the 30 minutes into seconds!

3). Use the following formula to solve for speed!

speed= distance/time

Note: The units should automatically work out to m/s. :)

My goal is to make sure you understand the problem, which is why I won't be giving you the answer. It'll be more work now, but less work in the future! :)

Hope this helped!

Pretend you (80 kg) are making repairs on the outside of the International Space Station. You are floating 20 meters away from t
djyliett [7]

Answer:

32 seconds

Explanation:

m1 = 80 kg

m2 = 10 kg

v2 = 5m/s

According to the property of conservation of momentum, assuming that both you and the bag are stationary before the safety rope comes lose:

m_{1} v_{1} =m_{2} v_{2} \\80v_{1} =10*5 \\v_{1} = 0.625\ m/s

Since the space station is 20 meters away, the time taken to reach it is given by:

t = \frac{20}{0.625}\\t=32\ s

It takes you 32 seconds to reach the station.

A positively charged metal sphere, A, is held close to but not touching and identical uncharged sphere, sphere B. Sphere A is no
Yuri [45]

Answer:

The sphere C carries no net charge.

Explanation:

  • When brougth close to the charged sphere A, as charges can move freely in  a conductor, a charge equal and opposite to the one on the sphere A, appears on the sphere B surface facing to the sphere A.
  • As sphere B must remain neutral (due to the principle of conservation of charge) an equal charge, but of opposite sign, goes to the surface also, on the opposite part of the sphere.
  • If sphere A is removed, a charge movement happens in the sphere B, in such a way, that no net charge remains on the surface.
  • If in such state, if  the sphere B (assumed again uncharged completely, without any local charges on the surface), is touched by an initially uncharged sphere C, due to the conservation of  charge principle, no net  charge can be built on sphere C.
