What is the calculation for elastic potential?

1 answer:

3 0

Elastic potential energy is equal to the force times the distance of movement. Elastic potential energy = force x distance of displacement. Because the force is = spring constant x displacement, then the Elastic potential energy = spring constant x displacement squared.

In a certain clock, a pendulum of length L1 has a period T1 = 0.95s. The length of the pendulum

gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

Ratio of length will be $\frac{L_2}{L_1}=1.108$

Explanation:

We have given time period of the pendulum when length is $L_1$ is $T_1=0.95sec$

And when length is $L_2$ time period $T_2=1sec$

We know that time period is given by

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}$

So $0.95=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L_1}{g}}$ ----eqn 1

And $1=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L_2}{g}}$ -------eqn 2

Dividing eqn 2 by eqn 1

$\frac{1}{0.95}=\sqrt{\frac{L_2}{L_1}}$

Squaring both side

$\frac{L_2}{L_1}=1.108$

A football player kicks a football downfield. The height of the football increases until it reaches a maximum height of 15 yards

Trava [24]

Answer:

kick 1 has travelled 15 + 15 = 30 yards before hitting the ground

so kick 2 travels 25 + 25 = 50 yards before hitting the ground

first kick reached 8 yards and 2nd kick reached 20 yards

Explanation:

1st kick travelled 15 yards to reach maximum height of 8 yards

so, it has travelled 15 + 15 = 30 yards before hitting the ground

2nd kick is given by the equation

y (x) = -0.032x(x - 50)

$Y = 1.6 X - 0.032x^2$

we know that maximum height occurs is given as

$x = -\frac{b}{2a}$

$y =- \frac{1.6}{2(-0.032)} = 25$

and maximum height is

$y = 1.6\times 25 - 0.032\times 25^2$

y = 20

so kick 2 travels 25 + 25 = 50 yards before hitting the ground

first kick reached 8 yards and 2nd kick reached 20 yards
