You pull on a spring whose spring constant is 22 N/m, and stretch it from its equilibrium length of 0.3 m to a length of 0.7 m.
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

W= 4.4 J

Explanation

Elastic potential energy theory

If we have a spring of constant K to which a force F that produces a Δx deformation is applied, we apply Hooke's law:

F=K*x  Formula (1): The force F applied to the spring is proportional to the deformation x of the spring.

As the force is variable to calculate the work we define an average force

F_{a} =\frac{F_{f}+F_{i}  }{2}  Formula (2)

Ff: final force

Fi: initial force

The work done on the spring is :

W = Fa*Δx

Fa : average force

Δx :  displacement

W = F_{a} (x_{f} -x_{i} )   :Formula (3)

x_{f} :  final deformation

x_{i}  :initial deformation

Problem development

We calculate Ff and Fi , applying formula (1) :

F_{f} = K*x_{f} =22\frac{N}{m} *0.7m =15.4N

F_{i} = K*x_{i} =22\frac{N}{m} *0.3m =6.6N

We calculate average force applying formula (2):

F_{a} =\frac{15.4N+6.2N}{2} = 11 N

We calculate the work done on the spring  applying formula (3) :         :

W= 11N*(0.7m-0.3m) = 11N*0.4m=4.4 N*m = 4.4 Joule = 4.4 J

Work done in stages

Work is the change of elastic potential energy (ΔEp)

W=ΔEp

ΔEp= Epf-Epi

Epf= final potential energy

Epi=initial potential energy

E_{pf} =\frac{1}{2} *k*x_{f}^{2}

E_{pi} =\frac{1}{2} *k*x_{i}^{2}

E_{pf} =\frac{1}{2} *22*0.7^{2} = 5.39 J

E_{pf} =\frac{1}{2} *22*0.3^{2} = 0.99 J

W=ΔEp=  5.39 J-0.99 J = 4.4J

Explain why the intensity of the light in a flashlight beam decreases as the flashlight moves farther away.
Karolina [17]
Ir=Initial Intensity/Area of spread=Io4πr2
Ir∝1r2

It is seen from this expression that intensity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance. As we move away from the light source the intensity decreases at the rate of square of the distance from the source.

Brightness being the perception of intensity. more the intensity more bright the object is perceived and vice versa.

What is the mass of a skier if they are applying a force of 500N and they are accelerating at 20m/s2?
Brrunno [24]

▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪  {\huge\mathfrak{Answer}}▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪

We know that,

  • force = mass \times acceleration

  • 500 = m \times 20

  • m =  \dfrac{500}{20}

  • m = 25

Mass of skier is <u>25</u> kg

What are the 3 fossil fuels, and how are fossil fuels made?
Softa [21]

Answer:

coal, oil and natural gas.

Explanation:

Fossil fuel is a general term for buried combustible geologic deposits of organic materials, formed from decayed plants and animals that have been converted to crude oil, coal, natural gas, or heavy oils by exposure to heat and pressure in the earth's crust over hundreds of millions of years.
