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}}

2. A 50 kg diver is standing on the edge of a 15 m high cliff. What is his potential energy?
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

3675 J

Explanation:

Gravitational Potential Energy = \frac{1}{2} × mass × g × height

( g is the gravitation field strength )

Mass = 50 kg

G = 9.8 N/kg ( this is always the same )

Height = 15 m

Gravitational Potential Energy = \frac{1}{2} × 50 ×9.8 × 15

= 3675 J

Which calculates the intensity of an electric field at a point where a 0.50 C charge experiences a force of 20. N?
tester [92]

Answer: 40\ N/C

Explanation:

Given

Magnitude of charge is q=0.5\ C

Force experienced is F=20\ N

Electric field intensity is the electrostatic force per unit charge

\therefore E=\dfrac{F}{q}\\\\\Rightarrow E=\dfrac{20}{0.50}\\\\\Rightarrow E=40\ N/C

Thus, the electric field intensity is 40\ N/C
