A horizontal spring with spring constant 130 N/m is compressed 17 cm and used to launch a 2.8 kg box across a frictionless, hori

zontal surface. After the box travels some distance, the surface becomes rough. The coefficient of kinetic friction of the box on the surface is 0.15. Use work and energy to find how far the box slidesacross the rough surface before stopping.

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

        k = 130 N/m,       \Delta x = 17 cm = 0.17 m   (as 1 m = 100 cm)

     mass (m) = 2.8 kg

When the spring is compressed then energy stored in it is as follows.

             Energy = \frac{1}{2}kx^{2}

Now, spring energy gets converted into kinetic energy when the box is launched.

So,    \frac{1}{2}kx^{2} = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

   \frac{1}{2} \times 130 \times (0.17)^{2} = \frac{1}{2} \times 2.8 \times v^{2}

          v^{2} = \frac{3.757}{2.8}

                     = 1.34

                v = 1.15 m/sec

Now,

           Frictional force = \mu \times mg

                                    = 0.15 \times 2.8 \times 9.8

                                    = 4.116 N

Also,  Kinetic energy = work done by friction

           \frac{1}{2}mv^{2} = F_{f} \times d

           \frac{1}{2} \times 2.8 \times (1.15)^{2} = 4.116 \times d

             1.8515 = 4.116 \times d

                 d = 0.449 m

Thus, we can conclude that the box slides 0.449 m across the rough surface before stopping.

Find the current passing through each of the 3 resistors connected parallel to each other as shown in the figure (i1, i2, I3). S
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

I1 = ε/R1

I2 = ε/R2

I3 = ε/R3

Explanation:

From the image, we see that the resistors are connected in parallel. This means that the voltage passing through them is the same.

Now, formula for current is; I = V/R

In this case, V which is voltage is denoted by ε.

Thus;

I1 = ε/R1

I2 = ε/R2

I3 = ε/R3

Phase unbalance causes three-phase motors to operate at temperatures ? and, therefore, the motor cannot deliver its rated horsep
anastassius [24]

Phase unbalance causes three-phase motors to operate at temperatures higher than nameplate ratings and, therefore, the motor cannot deliver its rated horsepower.

<h3>What is an electric vehicle (EV)?</h3>

An EV stands for an electric vehicle. Electric vehicles (EVs) are autos that are powered totally or partially by electricity.

Electric cars are extremely cost-effective to run because they have fewer moving parts to maintain and use little to no fossil fuels (petrol or diesel).

Hence, three-phase motors operating with phase imbalance run at temperatures over nameplate limits, which prevents the motor from producing its rated horsepower.

A heat engine has a maximum possible efficiency of 0.780. If it operates between a deep lake with a constant temperature of-24.8
Volgvan

Answer : The temperature of the hot reservoir (in Kelvins) is 1128.18 K

Explanation :

Efficiency of carnot heat engine : It is the ratio of work done by the system to the system to the amount of heat transferred to the system at the higher temperature.

Formula used for efficiency of the heat engine.

\eta =1-\frac{T_c}{T_h}

where,

\eta = efficiency = 0.780

T_h = Temperature of hot reservoir = ?

T_c = Temperature of cold reservoir = -24.8^oC=273+(-24.8)=248.2K

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

\eta =1-\frac{T_c}{T_h}

0.780=1-\frac{248.2K}{T_h}

T_h=1128.18K

Therefore, the temperature of the hot reservoir (in Kelvins) is 1128.18 K

A disc with a mass of 1 kg moves horizontally to the right with a speed of 7 m/s on a table with negligible friction when it col
Elodia [21]

Answer:

1.6 m/s

Explanation:

First you need to find the momentums of each disc by multiplying their velocities with mass.

disc 1: 7*1= 7 kg m/s

disc 2: 1*9= 9 kg m/s

Second, you need to find the total momentum of the system by adding the momentums of each sphere.

9+7= 16 kg m/s

Because momentum is conserved, this is equal to the momentum of the composite body.

Finally, to find the composite body's velocity, divide its total momentum by its mass. This is because mass*velocity=momentum

16/10=1.6

The velocity of the composite body is 1.6 m/s.
