The work done when a spring is stretched from 0 to 40cm is 4J.

What is work done?

Work done is the magnitude of force multiplied by displacement of an object. It is also the amount of energy transferred to an object when work is done on that.

The work done on the spring to stretch to 40cm is,

F = kx

where F is force, k is force constant.

k = F / x = 10 N / 20 * 10^-2 m = 50 N/m

W = 0.5 * k * (x)^2

where W = work done, k = force constant.

W = 0.5 x 50 x (40 x 10^-2)^2 = 4 J.

Therefore, the work done on the spring when it is stretched to 40cm is 4J.

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

7.888m

Explanation:

Given:

frequency 'f'= 90Hz

velocity of the sound 'v' = 340 m /sec

The wavelength of the wave is given by,

λ= v/f => 340/90

λ= 3.777m

The destructive interference condition is givn by

Δd= $(m+\frac{1}{2} )$ λ

where, m=0,1,2,3,..

m=0, for minimum destructive interference

Δd= $(0+\frac{1}{2} )$ x 3.777

Δd=1.888

Therefore, the required distance is

$d_f$ = $d_i$ + Δd => 6 + 1.888

$d_f$ = 7.888m

Thus, So the speaker should be placed at 7.888 m

The half-life of nickel-63 is 100 years. If a sample of nickel-63 decays until 6.25% of the original sample remains, how much ti

a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

400 years

Explanation:

The equation that describes the decay of a radioactive sample is:

$m(t)=m_0 (\frac{1}{2})^{t/t_{1/2}}$ (1)

where

m(t) is the amount of sample left at time t

$m_0$ is the initial amount of the sample

$t_{1/2}$ is the half-life, which is the time taken for the sample to halve

In this problem we have:

$t_{1/2}=100 y$ is the half-life of Nickel-63

After a time t, the amount of sample left is 6.25% of the original one, which means that

$\frac{m(t)}{m_0}=\frac{6.25}{100}$

So we can rewrite the equation (1) and solving for t to find the time:

$\frac{6.25}{100}=(\frac{1}{2})^{t/t_{1/2}}\\\rightarrow \frac{t}{t_{1/2}}=4\\t=4t_{1/2}=4(100)=400 y$

Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

F = 150.6 N

Rx = 63.65 N

Ry = - 115.5 N

orientation is - 61.14 degree with horizontal

Explanation:

given data

moment arm m = 2 cm

angel = 115 degree

distance = 13 cm

force = 21 N

to find out

muscle force, vertical component force , horizontal component force , orientation

solution

we consider here Ra and Rb is reaction upside and

we know moment formula that is

moment at joint = F × sin(θ) × m - force × distance

0 = F × sin(115) × 2 - 21 × 13

F = 150.6 N

for horizontal component

sum of horizontal force = Rx + Fcosθ

0 = Rx + (150.6) cos115

Rx = 63.65 N

and

for vertical component

sum of vertical force = Ry + Fsinθ

0 = Ry + (150.6) sin(115)

Ry = - 115.5 N

and

reaction direction are

tan∅ = Ry / Rx

tan∅ = -115.5 / 63.65

∅ = - 61.14 degree

so orientation is - 61.14 degree with horizontal
