The desperate contestants on a TV survival show are very hungry. The only food they can see is some fruit hanging on a branch hi

gh in a tree. Fortunately, they have a spring they can use to launch a rock. The spring constant is 1000 N/m, and they can compress the spring a maximum of 30 cm. All the rocks on the island seem to have a mass of 400 g.a. With what speed does the rock leave the spring?b. If the fruit hangs 15 m above the ground, will they feast or go hungry?

Answer:

(a) v = 15m/a

(b) No they won't feast because the rock can only rise to a height of 11.5m which is less than 15m.

Water is boiled in a pan on a stove at sea level. During 10 min of boiling, it is observed that 200 g of water has evaporated. D
Ymorist [56]

Answer : The rate of heat transfer to the water is, 37.92 kJ/min

Explanation : Given,

Time = 10 min

Mass of water = 200 g

Latent heat of fusion of water = 334 J/g

Latent heat of vaporization of water = 2230 J/g

Now we have to calculate the rate of heat transfer to the water.

Q=\frac{m\times (L_v-L_f)}{t}

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

Q=\frac{200g\times (2230-334)J/g}{10min}

Q=37920J/min=37.92kJ/min

Thus, the rate of heat transfer to the water is, 37.92 kJ/min

The severity of a fall depends on your speed when you strike the ground. All factors but the acceleration from gravity being the
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

<em>The object could fall from six times the original height and still be safe</em>

Explanation:

<u>Free Falling</u>

When an object is released from rest in free air (no friction), the motion is completely dependant on the acceleration of gravity g.

If we drop an object of mass m near the Earth surface from a height h, it has initial mechanical energy of

U=m.g.h

When the object strikes the ground, all the mechanical energy (only potential energy) becomes into kinetic energy

\displaystyle K=\frac{1}{2}m.v^2

Where v is the speed just before hitting the ground

If we know the speed v is safe for the integrity of the object, then we can know the height it was dropped from

\displaystyle m.g.h=\frac{1}{2}m.v^2

Solving for h

\displaystyle h=\frac{m.v^2}{2mg}=\frac{v^2}{2g}

If the drop had occurred in the Moon, then

\displaystyle h_M=\frac{v_M^2}{2g_M}

Where hM, vM and gM are the corresponding parameters on the Moon. We know v is the safe hitting speed and the gravitational acceleration on the Moon is g_M=1/6 g

\displaystyle h_M=\frac{v^2}{2\frac{1}{6}g}

\displaystyle h_M=6\frac{v^2}{2g}=6h

This means the object could fall from six times the original height and still be safe

A 72 kg skydiver is descending on a parachute. His speed is still increasing at 1.2 m/s2. What are the magnitude and direction o
frozen [14]

Answer:

86.4 N downward

Explanation:

Force: This can be defined as the product of mass and acceleration of a body.

The S.I unit of Force is Newton(N).

The Expression of force is given as,

F = ma ................ Equation 1

Where F = force of the parachute harness, m = mass of the skydiver, a = acceleration of the skydiver.

Given: m = 72 kg, a = 1.2 m/s²

Substitute into equation 1

F = 72(1.2)

F = 86.4 N down ward.

Hence the force on the parachute harness = 86.4 N downward
