<h2>Spring constant is 14.72 N/m</h2>

Explanation:

We have for a spring

            Force =  Spring constant x Elongation

            F = kx

Here force is weight of mass

           F = W = mg = 0.54 x 9.81 = 5.3 N

Elongation, x  = 36 cm = 0.36 m

Substituting

           F = kx

           5.3 = k x 0.36

             k = 14.72 N/m

Spring constant is 14.72 N/m

A capacitor is formed from two concentric spherical conducting shells separated by vacuum. The inner sphere has radius 11.0 cm ,
viktelen [127]
Part A)
First of all, let's convert the radii of the inner and the outer sphere:
r_A = 11.0 cm = 0.110 m
r_B = 16.5 cm=0.165 m
The capacitance of a spherical capacitor which consist of two shells with radius rA and rB is
C=4 \pi \epsilon _0  \frac{r_A r_B}{r_B- r_A}=4\pi(8.85 \cdot 10^{-12}C^2m^{-2}N^{-1}) \frac{(0.110m)(0.165m)}{0.165m-0.110m}=
=3.67\cdot 10^{-11}F

Then, from the usual relationship between capacitance and voltage, we can find the charge Q on each sphere of the capacitor:
Q=CV=(3.67\cdot 10^{-11}F)(100 V)=3.67\cdot 10^{-9}C

Now, we can find the electric field at any point r located between the two spheres, by using Gauss theorem:
E\cdot (4 \pi r^2) =  \frac{Q}{\epsilon _0}
from which
E(r) =  \frac{Q}{4 \pi \epsilon_0 r^2}
In part A of the problem, we want to find the electric field at r=11.1 cm=0.111 m. Substituting this number into the previous formula, we get
E(0.111m)=2680 N/C

And so, the energy density at r=0.111 m is
U= \frac{1}{2} \epsilon _0 E^2 =  \frac{1}{2} (8.85\cdot 10^{-12}C^2m^{-2}N^{-1})(2680 N/C)^2=3.17 \cdot 10^{-5}J/m^3

Part B) The solution of this part is the same as part A), since we already know the charge of the capacitor: Q=3.67 \cdot 10^{-9}C. We just need to calculate the electric field E at a different value of r: r=16.4 cm=0.164 m, so
E(0.164 m)= \frac{Q}{4 \pi \epsilon_0 r^2}=1228 N/C

And therefore, the energy density at this distance from the center is
U= \frac{1}{2}\epsilon_0 E^2 =  \frac{1}{2} (8.85\cdot 10^{-12}C^2m^{-2}N^{-1})(1228 N/C)^2=6.68 \cdot 10^{-6}J/m^3

If a car accelerates from rest at a constant 4 m/s
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

The time it will take for the car to reach a velocity of 28 m/s is 7 seconds

Explanation:

The parameters of the car are;

The acceleration of the car, a = 4 m/s²

The final velocity of the car, v = 28 m/s

The initial velocity of the car, u = 0 m/s (The car starts from rest)

The kinematic equation that can be used for finding (the time) how long it will take for the car to reach a velocity of 28 m/s is given as follows;

v = u + a·t

Where;

v = The final velocity of the car, v = 28 m/s

u = The initial velocity of the car = 0 m/s

a = The acceleration of the car = 4 m/s²

t = =The time it will take for the car to reach a velocity of 28 m/s

Therefore, we get;

t = (v - u)/a

t = (28 m/s - 0 m/s)/(4 m/s²) = 7 s

The time it will take for the car to reach a velocity of 28 m/s, t = 7 seconds.
