A 3.00-kg box is sliding along a frictionless horizontal surface with a speed of 1.8 m/s when it encounters a spring. (a) Determ

ine the force constant of the spring, if the box compresses the spring 5.20 cm before coming to rest. N/m (b) Determine the initial speed the box would need in order to compress the spring by 1.60 cm.

Answer:

a) k= 3594,7 N/m

b) v= 0.55 m/s

Explanation:

  • a)
  • As the surface is horizontal, the only change in energy will be the change in kinetic energy, as the box comes to an stop after compressing the spring.
  • As we know that the surface is frictionless also, this change in kinetic energy must be equal to the change in the elastic potential energy of the spring.
  • So we can write the following equality:

       \Delta K = \Delta U

       where \Delta K = \frac{1}{2}*m*v^{2}

       and \Delta U = \frac{1}{2} * k* \Delta x^{2}

  • Simplifying and replacing by the values, we get:

        3.00 kg* (1.8 m/s)^{2} = k* (0.052 m) ^{2}        

  • Solving for k:

k = \frac{3.00kg*(1.8m/s)^{2} }{(0.052m)^{2}} = 3594.7 N/m

  • k = 3594.7 N/m
  • b)
  • For this part, we can just apply the same equality, replacing the value of k by the one we got, and solving for the initial speed v:

        v = \sqrt{\frac{k*\Delta x^{2}}{m} } = \sqrt{\frac{3594.7N/m*(0.016m)^{2} }{3.00kg}} = 0.55 m/s

  • v = 0.55 m/s

A large container contains a large amount of water. A hole is drilled on the wall of the container, at a vertical distance h = 0
barxatty [35]

Answer:

Velocity = 3.25[m/s]

Explanation:

This problem can be solved if we use the Bernoulli equation: In the attached image we can see the conditions of the water inside the container.

In point 1, (surface of the water) we have the atmospheric pressure and at point 2 the water is coming out also at atmospheric pressure, therefore this members in the Bernoulli equation could be cancelled.

The velocity in the point 1 is zero because we have this conditional statement "The water surface drops very slowly and its speed is approximately zero"

h2 is located at point 2 and it will be zero.

(P_{1} +\frac{v_{1}^{2} }{2g} +h_{1} )=(P_{2} +\frac{v_{2}^{2} }{2g} +h_{2} )\\P_{1} =P_{2} \\v_{1}=0\\h_{2} =0\\v_{2}=\sqrt{0.54*9.81*2}\\v_{2}=3.25[m/s]

Hans Christian Ørsted observed that when a current-carrying wire was brought near a compass, the compass needle moved.
BaLLatris [955]

Answer: magnet, motor

Explanation :

Hans Christian Orsted was the scientist who gives the relation between electricity and magnetism. He found that the magnetic needle gets deflected on the application of electric current to the circuit.

He observed that the current carrying wire acted like a magnet.  

In 1821 Michael Faraday understands Orsted's work and invented electric motor. An electric motor is a device which is used to convert electrical energy to mechanical energy.
