Hooke's law describes a certain light spring of unstretched length 34.8 cm. When one end is attached to the top of a doorframe a

nd a 8.22 kg object is hung from the other end, the length of the spring is 40.8 cm. (a) Find its spring constant. 1342.6 kN/m (b) The load and the spring are taken down. Two people pull in opposite directions on the ends of the spring, each with a force of 205 N. Find the length of the spring in this situation. m

Answer:

a) k = 1343.6\,\frac{N}{m}, b) l = 0.501\,m\,(50.1\,cm)

Explanation:

a) The Hooke's law states that spring force is directly proportional to change in length. That is to say:

F \propto \Delta l

In this case, the force is equal to the weight of the object:

F = m\cdot g

F = (8.22\,kg)\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )

F = 80.614\,N

The spring constant is:

k = \frac{F}{\Delta l}

k = \frac{80.614\,N}{0.408\,m-0.348\,m}

k = 1343.6\,\frac{N}{m}

b) The length of the spring is:

F = k\cdot (l-l_{o})

l = l_{o} + \frac{F}{k}

l=0.348\,m+\frac{205\,N}{1343.6\,\frac{N}{m} }

l = 0.501\,m\,(50.1\,cm)

One of the harmonics on a string 1.30m long has a frequency of 15.60 Hz. The next higher harmonic has a frequency of 23.40 Hz. F
Alja [10]

Answer:

\large \boxed{\text{(a) 7.800 Hz; (b) 20.3 m/s; 40.6 m/s; 60.8 m/s}}

Explanation:

a) Fundamental frequency

A harmonic is an integral multiple of the fundamental frequency.

\dfrac{\text{23.40 Hz}}{\text{15.60 Hz}} = \dfrac{1.500}{1} \approx \dfrac{3}{2}

f = \dfrac{\text{24.30 Hz}}{3} = \textbf{7.800 Hz}

b) Wave speed

(i) Calculate the wavelength

In a  fundamental vibration, the length of the string is half the wavelength.

\begin{array}{rcl}L & = & \dfrac{\lambda}{2}\\\\\text{1.30 m} & = & \dfrac{\lambda}{2}\\\\\lambda & = & \text{2.60 m}\\\end{array}

(b) Calculate the speed s

\begin{array}{rcl}v_{1}& = & f_{1}\lambda\\& = & \text{7.800 s}^{-1} \times \text{2.60 m}\\& = & \textbf{20.3 m/s}\\\end{array}

\begin{array}{rcl}v_{2}& = & f_{2}\lambda\\& = & \text{15.60 s}^{-1} \times \text{2.60 m}\\& = & \textbf{40.6 m/s}\\\end{array}

\begin{array}{rcl}v_{3}& = & f_{3}\lambda\\& = & \text{23.40 s}^{-1} \times \text{2.60 m}\\& = & \textbf{60.8 m/s}\\\end{array}

A boy jogs 250 meters in 110s what is the average speed
Artyom0805 [142]
The rule to get the average speed is as follows:
average speed = average distance / average time

We are given that:
distance = 250 m
time = 110 sec

Substitute with the givens in the above equation to get the average speed as follows:
average speed = 250/110 = 25/11 meters/sec

According to the law of reflection, the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of
Darina [25.2K]

Before going to answer this question first we have to understand reflection and laws of reflection.

Reflection is the optical phenomenon in which light will bounce back to the same medium from which it had originated .

Whenever a light ray will incident on a mirror or any reflecting surface, it will be reflected. The ray which falls on the reflecting surface is called incident ray and the ray which is reflected is called reflected ray.

Let us consider a normal to the point of incidence.The angle made by incident ray with the normal is called angle of incidence.Let it be denoted as[ i ]

The angle made by the reflected ray with the normal is called angle of incidence.Let it be denoted as [r]

There are two types of reflection.One is called regular and other one is called as irregular.The laws of reflection is valid for both the types of reflection.

There are two laws of reflection.

FIRST LAW -It states that the incident ray,reflected ray and the normal to the point of incidence,all lie in one plane.

SECOND LAW- It states that that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection irrespective of the type of reflection.i.e i =r

Hence the correct answer will be angle of reflection.
