A force of 2N will stretch a rubber band 0.02m. Assuming that Hooke's Law applies, answer the following: How far will a 1600N fo

Hooke's Law states that the extension is directly proportional to the force applied so:
F/x = constant

F₁/x₁ = F₂/x₂
2 / 0.02 = 1600 / x₂
x₂ = 16 m

Elastic work = 1/2 Fx
= 1/2 * 1600 * 16
= 12.8 kJ

A ball is dropped from rest from a height h above the ground. another ball is thrown vertically upwards from the ground at the i

Darya [45]

The position of the first ball is

$y_1=h-\dfrac g2t^2$

while the position of the second ball, thrown with initial velocity $v$ , is

$y_2=vt-\dfrac g2t^2$

The time it takes for the first ball to reach the halfway point satisfies

$\dfrac h2=h-\dfrac g2t^2$

$\implies\dfrac h2=\dfrac g2t^2$

$\implies t=\sqrt{\dfrac hg}$

We want the second ball to reach the same height at the same time, so that

$\dfrac h2=v\sqrt{\dfrac hg}-\dfrac g2\left(\sqrt{\dfrac hg}\right)^2$

$\implies h=2v\sqrt{\dfrac hg}-g\left(\dfrac hg\right)$

$\implies h=v\sqrt{\dfrac hg}$

$\implies v=\sqrt{hg}$

How much work must be done to bring three electrons from a great distance apart to 5.0×10^−10 m from one another (at the corners

Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

1.38 x 10^-18 J

Explanation:

q = - 1.6 x 10^-19 C

d = 5 x 10^-10 m

the potential energy of the system gives the value of work done

The formula for the potential energy is given by

$U =\frac{Kq_{1}q_{2}}{d}$

So, the total potential energy of teh system is

$U =\frac{Kq_{1}q_{2}}{d}+\frac{Kq_{2}q_{3}}{d}+\frac{Kq_{1}q_{3}}{d}$

As all the charges are same and the distance between the two charges is same so the total potential energy becomes

$U =3\times \frac{Kq^{2}}{d}$

K = 9 x 10^9 Nm^2/C^2

By substituting the values

$U =3\times \frac{9\times 10^{9}\times \ 1.6 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-38}}{5\times 10^{-10}}$

U = 1.38 x 10^-18 J

When two resistors are wired in series with a 12 V battery, the current through the battery is 0.33 A. When they are wired in pa

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

If R₂=25.78 ohm, then R₁=10.58 ohm

If R₂=10.57 then R₁=25.79 ohm

Explanation:

R₁ = Resistance of first resistor

R₂ = Resistance of second resistor

V = Voltage of battery = 12 V

I = Current = 0.33 A (series)

I = Current = 1.6 A (parallel)

In series

$\text{Equivalent resistance}=R_{eq}=R_1+R_2\\\text {From Ohm's law}\\V=IR_{eq}\\\Rightarrow R_{eq}=\frac{12}{0.33}\\\Rightarrow R_1+R_2=36.36\\ Also\ R_1=36.36-R_2$

In parallel

$\text{Equivalent resistance}=\frac{1}{R_{eq}}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}\\\Rightarrow {R_{eq}=\frac{R_1R_2}{R_1+R_2}$

$\text {From Ohm's law}\\V=IR_{eq}\\\Rightarrow R_{eq}=\frac{12}{1.6}\\\Rightarrow \frac{R_1R_2}{R_1+R_2}=7.5\\\Rightarrow \frac{R_1R_2}{36.36}=7.5\\\Rightarrow R_1R_2=272.72\\\Rightarrow(36.36-R_2)R_2=272.72\\\Rightarrow R_2^2-36.36R_2+272.72=0$

Solving the above quadratic equation

$\Rightarrow R_2=\frac{36.36\pm \sqrt{36.36^2-4\times 272.72}}{2}$

$\Rightarrow R_2=25.78\ or\ 10.57\\ If\ R_2=25.78\ then\ R_1=36.36-25.78=10.58\ \Omega\\ If\ R_2=10.57\ then\ R_1=36.36-10.57=25.79\Omega$

∴ If R₂=25.78 ohm, then R₁=10.58 ohm

If R₂=10.57 then R₁=25.79 ohm
