In a mattress test, you drop a 7.0 kg bowling ball from a height of 1.5 m above a mattress, which as a result compresses 15 cm a

s the ball comes to a stop.
(c)How much work does the gravitational force do on the ball while it is compressing the mattress?

(d)How much work does the mattress do on the ball?

(e)Now model the mattress as a single spring with an unknown spring constant k, and consider the whole system formed by the ball, the earth and the mattress. By how much does the potential energy of the mattress increase as it compresses?

(f)What is the value of the spring constant k?

Answer:

(c) 10.29 J

(d) 113.19 J

(e) 113.19 J

(f) 10061 N/m

Explanation:

15 cm = 0.15 m

Let g = 9.8 m/s2

(c) The work done by gravitational force is the product of gravity force and the distance compressed

E_p = mgx = 7*9.8*0.15 = 10.29 J

(d) By using law of energy conservation with potential energy reference being 0 at the maximum compression point. As the ball falls and come to a stop at the compression point, its potential energy is transferred to elastic energy, which is the work that the mattress does on the ball:

E_p = E_e

E_e = mgh

where h = 1.5 + 0.15 = 1.65 m is the vertical distance that it falls.

E_e = 7*9.8*1.65 = 113.19 J

(e) Before the compression, the potential energy of the mattress is 0. After the compression, the potential energy is 113.19J. So it has increased by 113.19J due to the potential energy transferred from the falling ball.

(f) E_e = 113.19 = kx^2/2

k0.15^2/2 = 113.19

k = 10061 N/m

Answer:

(C) Wg = 113.2J

(D) Wm = 10.3J

(E) E = 1/2kx² + mgh where h is the height above the mattress and x is the compressed distance in the mattress.

(F) k = 457N/m.

The graph below represents changes in water. What process is occurring during section “B” of the graph?
Fittoniya [83]

Melting

we know that ice melts at 0 ⁰C. in the graph, at position B, the temperature is constant, which indicates that phase change is taking place there. at B , from the graph , we also notice that the temperature is constant at value 0 ⁰C. this indicates that ice at 0 ⁰C is converting to water at 0 ⁰C there at position B in the graph.

hence the correct choice is   Melting.

If two runners take the same amount of time to run a mile, they have the same __________.
Elan Coil [88]

None of the choices is correct.

If two runners take the same amount of time to run a mile,
they have the same average speed.  But their velocities
are not the same unless both runners begin and end their
run at the same points.

Speed is   (distance covered) divided by (time to cover the distance).

Velocity is not.  It's something different. 
'Velocity' is not just a bigger word for 'speed'.

2. Three super strong teenagers pull a heavy crate across the floor. Dion pulls with a force of 18.5 N towards 0°. Shirley pulls
kogti [31]

Answer:

A) The resultant force is 43.4 [N]

B) The movement of the heavy crate is going to the right and in the negative direction on the y-axis

Explanation:

We need to make a sketch of the different forces acting on the heavy crate.

In the attached image we can see the forces and the sum of the vector with their respective angles.

Forces in the X-axis

Fdionx=18.5N\\\\Fshix=16.5*cos(30)=14.29N\\Fjoanx=19.5*cos(60)=9.75N\\\\Forcex= 18.5 + 14.29 + 9.75 = 42.54 N

Forces in the y-axis

FDiony=0[N]\\Fshirley= 16.5*sin(30)=8.25[N]\\Fjoany=19.5*sin(60)=16.88 [N]\\\\Forcesy=0+8.25-16.88= -8.63[N]

Using the Pythagorean theorem

Tforce=\sqrt{(42.54)^{2} +(8.63)^{2} } \\\\Tforce= 43.4N

The movement of the heavy crate is going to the right and in the negative direction on the y-axis, this can be easily seen in the graphical sum of vectors.

The reflective surface of a CD consists of spirals of equally spaced grooves. If you shine a laser pointer on a CD, each groove
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

d = 1.55 * 10⁻⁶ m

Explanation:

To calculate the distance between the adjacent grooves of the CD, use the formula, d = \frac{m \lambda}{sin(A_{m}) }..........(1)

The fringe number, m = 1 since it is a first order maximum

The wavelength of the green laser pointer, \lambda = 532 nm = 532 * 10⁻⁹ m

Distance between the central maximum and the first order maximum = 1.1 m

Distance between the screen and the CD = 3 m

A_{m} = Angle between the incident light and the diffracted light

From the setup shown in the attachment, it is a right angled triangle in which

sin(A_{m}) = \frac{opposite}{Hypotenuse} \\sin(A_{m}) =\frac{1.1}{\sqrt{1.1^{2}+3^{2}}}

sin(A_{m} ) = 0.344\\A_{m} = sin^{-1} 0.344\\A_{m} = 20.14^{0}

Putting all appropriate values into equation (1)

d = \frac{1* 532*10^{-9} }{0.344 }\\d = 0.00000155 m\\d = 1.55 * 10^{-6} m
