Hooke’s law states that the distance that a spring is stretched by hanging object varies directly as the mass of the object. If

the distance is 140 cm when the mass is 21 kg, what is the distance when the mass is 5 kg?

Answer:

$d_{2}$ = 33.33 cm

Explanation:

Given:

When mass, $m_{1}$ =21 kg

distance travelled is $d_{1}$ = 140 cm

When mass, $m_{2}$ =5 kg

distance travelled is $d_{2}$ = ?

Hooke's law state that within elastic limit, when an external force is applied to a body, the body gets deformed and when the force is released the gets back to its original form.

Therefore according to the question,

$\frac{d_{1}}{m_{1}}=\frac{d_{2}}{m_{2}}$

$\frac{140}{21}=\frac{d_{2}}{5}$

$d_{2}$ = 33.33 cm

Distance travelled is 33.33 cm when mass is 5 kg.

A measure of the quantity of matter is called mass. D.

This is how much of matter is contained in an object. It is different from weight, which is the pull of gravity on an object.

A rod (length = 2.0 m) is uniformly charged and has a total charge of 5.0 nC. What is the electric potential (relative to zero a

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

The electric potential is $V = 15.6 V$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The length of the rod is $L = 2.0 \ m$

The total charge of the rod is $q =5.0 nC = 5.0*10^{-9} C$

The length from the center is $d = 3.0 \ m$

The diagram illustrating the setup for this question is shown on the first uploaded image

From the diagram the potential at point A $dl$ is mathematically represented as

$dV = K \frac{dq}{l}$

Where K is the coulomb constant with a value $K = 9*10^9 \ Nm^2 /C^2$

where q is the charge in charge the rod relative to its distance from A is mathematically represented as

$dq = \frac{q}{L} dl$

This a small unit length of the rod

So $V = \frac{q}{L} \int\limits^4_2 {\frac{dl}{l} } \,$

=> $V = k\frac{q}{L} ln [\frac{4}{2} ]$

$V = k\frac{q}{L} ln2$

Substituting values

$V = 9* 10^9 * \frac{5*10^{-9}}{2} * ln 2$

$V = 15.6 V$

A ball weighing 1 lb is attached to a string 2 feet long and is whirled in a vertical circle at a constant speed of 10 ft/sec.

fredd [130]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the ball, m = 1 lb

Length of the string, l = r = 2 ft

Speed of motion, v = 10 ft/s

(a) The net tension in the string when the ball is at the top of the circle is given by :

$F=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}-mg$

$F=m(\dfrac{v^2}{r}-g)$

$F=1\ lb\times (\dfrac{(10\ ft/s)^2}{2}-1\ lb\times 32\ ft/s^2)$

F = 18 N

(b) The net tension in the string when the ball is at the bottom of the circle is given by :

$F=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}+mg$

$F=m(\dfrac{v^2}{r}+g)$

$F=1\ lb\times (\dfrac{(10\ ft/s)^2}{2}+1\ lb\times 32\ ft/s^2)$

F = 82 N

(c) Let h is the height where the ball at certain time from the top. So,

$T=mg(\dfrac{r-h}{r})+\dfrac{mv^2}{r}$

$T=\dfrac{m}{r}(g(r-h)+v^2)$

Since, $v^2=u^2-2gh$

$T=\dfrac{m}{r}(u^2-3gh+gr)$

Hence, this is the required solution.
