A block (6 kg) initially compresses spring #1 (k = 2000 N/m) by 60 cm from its equilibrium point. When the block is released, it

slides a total horizontal distance of 1 m on a rough surface with kinetic coefficient of friction μk = 0.5. The block then compresses a stiffer spring #2 and momentarily stops. Find the following numerical energy values of the block: Initial spring potential energy at Spring #1: U1S =

Answer:

block K = 29.39 J and spring #1 Ke = 360 J

Explanation:

In this problem we have that the elastic energy of the spring becomes part kinetic energy and the part in work against the force of friction, so, to use the law of conservation of energy, the decrease in energy is the rubbing force work

$W_{fr}$ = Ef - E₀

Let's look for the energies

Initial

E₀ = Ke = ½ k₁ x₁²

Final, this is just before starting to compress the spring

Ef = Ke = ½ m v²

The work of the rubbing force is

$W_{fr}$ = -fr x

Let's write Newton's second law the y axis

N-W = 0

N = W

fr = μ N

fr = μ mg

Let's replace

-μ mg x = ½ m v² - ½ k₁ x₁²

v² = 2/m (½ k₁ x1₁² -μ mg x)

v² = 2/6 (½ 2000 0.6²2 - 0.5 6 9.8 1) = 1/3 (360 - 29.4)

v = 3.13 m / s

With this value we calculate the energy of the block

K = ½ m v²

K = ½ 6 3.13²

K = 29.39 J

Calculate eenrgy of the spring ke 1

Ke = ½ k₁ x₁²

Ke = ½ 2000 0.60²

Ke = 360 J

What is the primary type of battery we use today to store energy?

Ahat [919]

Lithium-Ion batteries are commonly used in portable electronics and electric vehicles. These rechargeable batteries have two electrodes: one that's positively charged and contains lithium and another negative one that's typically made of graphite.

Vector A has a magnitude of 30 units. Vector B is perpendicular to vector Aand has a magnitude of 40 units. What would the magni

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

$|\vec A + \vec B| = 50 units$

Explanation:

As we know that magnitude of two vectors is given as

$|\vec A + \vec B| = \sqrt{A^2 + B^2 + 2AB cos\theta}$

here we know that

A = magnitude of vector A

B = magnitude of vector B

$\theta$ = angle between two vectors

so here we know that

A = 30 units

B = 40 units

angle = 90 degree

so we have

$|\vec A + \vec B| = \sqrt{30^2 + 40^2 + 2(30)(40)cos90}$

$|\vec A + \vec B| = \sqrt{30^2 + 40^2}$

$|\vec A + \vec B| = 50 units$

Explanation:

The acceleration due to gravity on earth $g_{E}$ is given by

$g_{E} = G\dfrac{M_{E}}{R_{E}^{2}}$

where $G$ = universal gravitational constant

$\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:M_{R}$ = mass of the earth

$\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:R_{E}$ = radius of the earth

Planet Krypton has twice the mass of earth and 3 times the radius so its acceleration due to gravity $g_{K}$ is

$g_{K} = G\dfrac{M_{K}}{R_{K}^{2}}$

$\:\:\:\:\:\: = G\dfrac{(2M_{E})}{(3R_{E})^{2}}$

$\:\:\:\:\;\:= (\dfrac{2}{9})G\dfrac{M_{E}}{R_{E}^{2}}$

or

$g_{K} = (\dfrac{2}{9})\:g_{E}$

If we multiply both sides by Superman's mass, we get his weights on both planets:

$mg_{K} = (\dfrac{2}{9})\:(mg_{E})$

$W_{K} = (\dfrac{2}{9})\:W_{E} = (\dfrac{2}{9})(900\:N)= 200\:N$

A simple pendulum is 1.15 meters long and has a period of 6.29 seconds. The pendulum is on an unknown planet. What is the accele

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

The value of the acceleration of gravity of the Unknown Planet = 1.14 $\frac{m}{s^{2} }$

Explanation:

length of the pendulum (L)= 1.15 m

Time period (T)= 6.29 seconds

We know that time period of a simple pendulum is given by

⇒ T = 2 $\pi$ × $\sqrt\frac{L}{g}$

put the values in the above formula we get

⇒ T = 2 $\pi$ × $\sqrt \frac{1.15}{g}$

⇒ 6.29 = 2 $\pi$ × $\sqrt \frac{1.15}{g}$

By solving the above equation we get

⇒ g = 1.14 $\frac{m}{s^{2} }$

This is the value of the acceleration of gravity of the Unknown Planet.

Suppose a 1.2 m antenna is installed on top of a building that is 225 m tall,

vazorg [7]

Answer: 226.2 m

Explanation:

If we want to find the new total height $H$ of the building, we have to add to its initial height $h_{B}=225m$ the height of the antenna $h_{A}=1.2m$ , as follows:

$H=h_{B}+h_{A}$

$H=225m+1.2m$

Then:

$H=226.2m$ This is the new total height of the building.
