The speed of the block when the compression is 15 cm is 9.85 m/s.

The given parameters;

<em>mass of the block, m = 2.4 kg</em>
<em>height of the block, h = 5 m</em>
<em>compression of the spring, x = 25 cm = 0.25 m</em>

The spring constant is calculated as follows;

$F = kx\\\\mg = kx\\\\k = \frac{mg}{x} \\\\k = \frac{2.4 \times 9.8}{0.25} \\\\k = 94.08 \ N/m$

The speed of the block when the compression is 15 cm can be determined by applying the principle of conservation of energy;

$\Delta K.E = \Delta P.E\\\\\frac{1}{2} m(v^2 - v_{0 }^2 ) = mgh - \frac{1}{2} kx^2\\\\\frac{1}{2} mv^2 = mgh - \frac{1}{2} kx^2\\\\mv^2 = 2mgh - kx^2\\\\v^2 = \frac{2mgh - kx^2}{m} \\\\v = \sqrt{\frac{2mgh - kx^2}{m}} \\\\v = \sqrt{\frac{(2 \times 2.4 \times 9.8 \times 5) - (94.08 \times 0.15^2)}{2.4}} \\\\v = 9.85 \ m/s$

Thus, the speed of the block when the compression is 15 cm is 9.85 m/s.

Because 1 change in one factor can effect the other and that one can effect the other and so on and so on.

So, let's just say water were to stop flowing, how would the oceans take that? How would precipitation take it?

A projectile is shot on level ground with a

erastova [34]

Answer:

time rising = 34 / 9.8 = 3.47 sec

total time in air = 2 * 3.47 sec = 6.94 sec

(time rising must equal time falling)

R = 17 m/s * 6.94 s = 118 m

Can also use range formula

R = v^2 sin (2 theta) / g

tan theta = 34 / 17 = 2

theta = 63.4 deg

2 theta = 126.9 deg

sin 126.9 = .8

v^2 = 17^2 + 34^2 = 1445 m^2/s^2

R = 1445 * .8 / 9.8 = 118 m agreeing with answer found above

A policeman investigating an accident measures the skid marks left by a car on the horizontal road. He determines that the dista

sleet_krkn [62]

<h2>The velocity of car was m m/s </h2>

Explanation:

When the car skids , its centripetal force is provided by frictional force .

Here centripetal force F = $\frac{mv^2}{r}$

here v is the velocity of car and r is the radius of the curve .

The frictional force f = μ R

here μ is the coefficient of kinetic friction and R is normal reaction

Thus f = m g

On horizontal road R = mg

Thus F = f at the time of skid .

Thus v = $\sqrt{\mu rg}$

= $\sqrt{0.29x23.74x10}$ = 9 m/s

Troyanec [42]

Which of the following statements about this experiment is FALSE? Before each trial one should reshape the bob into something like a ball. You may assume the collision between the bob and the box is completely inelastic. The initial position for the box should be just touching the pendulum bob when it is hanging straight down. To make the box move, the pendulum bob should hit close to the bottom of the box during the collision is given below

Explanation:

So, The bob is held at angle theta from initial position, P. Find the displacement from P.

displacement= L sin Θ. I hope you get it here. The pendulum forms a triangle with length L, the initial position and horizontal displacement.

So,the point is at displacement point the kinetic energy of bob is 0 and when it is released it will have maximum kinetic energy at P. It will hit the box and all he kinetic energy of bob will get transferred into driving force(F.D) of box. Now kinetic energy = Force * displacement.

K.E= 0.5 m V^2= F.D * Lsin Θ.

Find F.D

F.D = (0.5 m V^2) / Lsin Θ.

Now for the box, F.D - Friction = m(box) a.

Friction = F.D + m(box) a.

Find the accelaration of box from an equation of motion. ( u=0, find displacement of box,s,time taken and so on)

U get the friction. Now,

coeff of friction = µ = friction/ reaction.

Note that reaction here = weight of box= m(box) g. g= acc of free fall= 9.81.

So here u go.. U get the coeff of friction.. I hope am right here.. and made no mistake.. Anyway try it with the values to confirm! ;)
