A block with mass m = 0.450 kg is attached to one end of an ideal spring and moves on a horizontal frictionless surface. The oth

er end of the spring is attached to a wall. When the block is at x = +0.240 m, its acceleration is ax = -14.0 m/s2 and its velocity is vx = +4.00 m/s. What is the spring's force constant k?

Answer:

k = 26.25 N/m

Explanation:

given,

mass of the block= 0.450

distance of the block = + 0.240

acceleration = a_x = -14.0 m/s²

velocity = v_x = + 4 m/s

spring force constant (k) = ?

we know,

x = A cos (ωt - ∅).....(1)

v = - ω A cos (ωt - ∅)....(2)

a = ω²A cos (ωt - ∅).........(3)

\omega = \sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}}

now from equation (3)

a_x = \dfrac{k}{m}x

k = \dfrac{m a_x}{x}

k = \dfrac{0.45 \times (-14)}{0.24}

k = 26.25 N/m

hence, spring force constant is equal to k = 26.25 N/m

The spring's force constant is 26.25 N/m

\texttt{ }

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

<em>Hooke's Law states that the length of a spring is directly proportional to the force acting on the spring.</em>

\boxed {F = k \times \Delta x}

<em>F = Force ( N )</em>

<em>k = Spring Constant ( N/m )</em>

<em>Δx = Extension ( m )</em>

\texttt{ }

The formula for finding Young's Modulus is as follows:

\boxed {E = \frac{F / A}{\Delta x / x_o}}

<em>E = Young's Modulus ( N/m² )</em>

<em>F = Force ( N )</em>

<em>A = Cross-Sectional Area ( m² )</em>

<em>Δx = Extension ( m )</em>

<em>x = Initial Length ( m )</em>

Let us now tackle the problem !

\texttt{ }

<u>Given:</u>

mass of block = m = 0.450 kg

extension = x = +0.240 m

acceleration = a_x = -14.0 m/s²

velocity = v_x = +4.00 m/s

<u>Asked:</u>

spring's force constant = k = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

k = m \omega^2

k = m \frac{-a_x}{x}

k = 0.450 \times \frac{ - ( -14.0 ) }{0.240}

\boxed{k = 26.25 \texttt{ N/m}}

A car is driving at 99 km/h, calculate the distance it travels in 70 minutes.
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

The distance the car travels is 115500 m in S.I units

Explanation:

Distance d = vt where v = speed of the car and t = time taken to travel

Now v = 99 km/h. We now convert it to S.I units. So

v = 99 km/h = 99 × 1000 m/(1 × 3600 s)

v = 99000 m/3600 s

v = 27.5 m/s

The speed of the car is 27.5 m/s in S.I units

We now convert the time t = 70 minutes to seconds by multiplying it by 60.

So, t = 70 min = 70 × 60 s = 4200 s

The time taken to travel is 4200 s in S.I units

Now the distance, d = vt

d = 27.5 m/s × 4200 s

d = 115500 m

So, the distance the car travels is 115500 m in S.I units

Which of the following choices correctly identifies the process created by moving a magnet through a conducting loop?
jolli1 [7]

Answer: D.) electromagnetic induction

Explanation: Electroctromagnetic induction may be explained as a process whereby electric current is induced or produced by difference in potential resulting from the movement of conductor across a magnetic field.

In simple terms, an electromotive force is induced when a magnet is moved through a conducting loop.

The electromotive force produced by moving a magnet through a conducting loop can be represented by the relation:

E = - N (dΦ / dt)

Where E = electromotive force in voltage

N = number of loop in conductor

dΦ = change in magnetic Flux

dt = change in time
