EPE= 0.5 * spring constant * (extension)^2

Spring constant=EPE/0.5*extension^2

5J/0.5*0.5^2

=40N/m

Energy stored in a spring = (1/2) (spring constant) (stretch)²

 5 Joules = (1/2) (spring constant) (0.5 m)²

10 Joules = (spring constant) (0.25 m²)

Spring constant = 10 joules / 0.25 m²

Spring constant = 40 Newton/meter

How much heat has to be added to 508 g of copper at 22.3°C to raise the temperature of the copper to 49.8°C? (The specific heat
viva [34]

Answer:

Q = 5267J

Explanation:

Specific heat capacity of copper (S) = 0.377 J/g·°C.

Q = MSΔT

ΔT = T2 - T1

ΔT=49.8 - 22.3 = 27.5C

Q = change in energy = ?

M = mass of substance =508g

Q = (508g) * (0.377 J/g·°C) * (27.5C)

Q= 5266.69J

Approximately, Q = 5267J

The floor of a railroad flatcar is loaded with loose crates having a coefficient of static friction of 0.32 with the floor. If t

Answer:

The shortest braking distance is 35.8 m

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use Newton's second law applied to the boxes, on the vertical axis we have the norm up and the weight vertically down

On the horizontal axis we fear the force of friction (fr) that opposes the movement and acceleration of the train, write the equation for each axis

    Y axis

     N- W = 0

     N = W = mg

  X axis

     -Fr = m a

     -μ N = m a

     -μ mg = ma

     a = μ g

     a  = - 0.32 9.8

     a =  - 3.14 m/s²

We calculate the distance using the kinematics equations

    Vf² = Vo² + 2 a x

     x = (Vf² - Vo²) / 2 a

When the train stops the speed is zero (Vf = 0)

 Vo = 54 km/h (1000m/1km) (1 h/3600s)= 15 m/s

     x = ( 0 - 15²) / 2 (-3.14)

     x=  35.8 m

The shortest braking distance is  35.8 m

Your low-flow showerhead is delivering water at 1.2×10−4m3/s, about 2.0 gallons per minute.
Oksanka [162]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the fluid mechanics equations related to continuity, for which the proportion of the input flow is equal to the output flow, in other words:

Q_1 = Q_2

We know that the flow rate is equivalent to the velocity of the fluid in its area, that is,

Q = VA

Where

V = Velocity

A = Cross-sectional Area

Our values are given as

Q_2 = 1.2*10^{-4}m^3/s

d = 0.021m

r = \frac{0.021}{2} = 0.0105m

Since there is continuity we have now that,

V_1A_1 = Q_2

V_1A_1 = 1.2*10^{-4}

V_1 = \frac{1.2*10^{-4}}{A_2}

V_1 = \frac{1.2*10^{-4}}{\pi r^2}

V_1 = \frac{1.2*10^{-4}}{\pi (0.0105)^2}

V_1 =0.347m/s

Therefore the speed of the water's house supply line is 0.347m/s
