What is the spring constant if 85.0J of energy is stored when a spring is compressed 0.400m?

Answer:

212N/m

Explanation:

First of all, what is spring constant
As per Hooke's law, The restoring force applied by the spring is proportional to the change in length, and restoring force is directed towards the equilibrium position. The proportionality constant is called the spring constant and it is a measure of the stiffness of the spring. So as Hooke's law

F = -Kx

Where

F -> Restoring force

K-> Spring constant

x -> change in length

the negative sign indicates it is acting toward the center

Rearranging this for the Spring constant, Spring constant formula is given by

k = Fx

Unit of Spring Constant is Newton/meter

Narysuj wykres zależności v(t) jeśli w chwili początkowej t=0 V=10m/s w każdej sekundzie szybkość zmniejsza się o 1m/s . Po jaki
irina1246 [14]

1) See graph in attachment

2) 10 s

3) 50 m

Explanation:

1)

In this problem, we have an object initially moving with a velocity of

v = 10 m/s

when the time is

t = 0 s

Then, we are told that the speed of the object is decreasing by 1 m/s every  second. This means that on a velocity-time graph, the motion will be represented by a straight line, starting from v = 10 when t = 0, and decreasing by 1 m/s every second.

The result can be found in the graph in attachment.

Moreover, we can also infer that the motion of the object is accelerated (because velocity is changing), and that the acceleration is constant and it is equal to

a=1 m/s^2

which is equivalent to the gradient of the line in the velocity-time graph.

2)

In this part, we want to find after what time the body will stop its motion.

To do that, we can use the following suvat equation:

v=u+at

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

t is the time

In this problem:

u = 10 m/s is the initial velocity of the body

a=-1 m/s^2 is the acceleration

v = 0 m/s, because we want to find the time T at which the body will stop

Re-arranging the equation, we find:

T=-\frac{u}{a}=-\frac{10}{-1}=10 s

3)

In order to find the total distance covered by the body during its accelerated motion, we have to use another suvat equation:

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where

s is the distance covered

u is the initial velocity

t is the time

a is the acceleration

In this problem:

u = 10 m/s is the initial velocity

a=-1 m/s^2 is the acceleration

t = 10 s is the time it takes for the body to stop (found in part 2)

Solving for s, we find the distance covered:

s=(10)(10)+\frac{1}{2}(-1)(10)^2=50 m

An object of mass m is traveling in a circle with centripetal force Fc. If the velocity of the object is v, what is the radius o
borishaifa [10]

Hi there!

Recall the equation for centripetal force:
F_c = \frac{mv^2}{r}

We can rearrange the equation to solve for 'r'.

Multiply both sides by r:
r * F_c = mv^2

Divide both sides by Fc:
\boxed{ r= \frac{mv^2}{F_c}}

A vibrating object produces periodic waves with a wavelength of 53 cm and a frequency of 15 Hz. How fast do these waves move awa
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

v = 7.95 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength of a wave, \lambda=53\ cm=0.53\ m

Frequency of a wave, f = 15 Hz

We need to find the speed of the wave. The speed of a wave is given by :

v=f\lambda\\\\v=15\ Hz\times 0.53\ m\\\\v=7.95\ m/s

So, the wave move with a speed of 7.95 m/s.
