A block with mass m = 4.5 kg is attached to two springs with spring constants kleft = 36 N/m and kright = 50 N/m. The block is p

ulled a distance x = 0.25 m to the left of its equilibrium position and released from rest. 1)What is the magnitude of the net force on the block (the moment it is released)?

Answer:

21.5 N

Explanation:

As the block is pulled to a distance of 0.25 m to the left of its equilibrium position, the left spring is compressed by x = 0.25 m and exerting an elastic force to the right, the right spring is stretched by x =0.25 m and also exerting an elastic force to the right. Knowing their spring constant, we can calculate the total net force at that instant

F = F_{left} + F_{right}

F = k_{left}x + k_{right}x

F = x(k_{left} + k_{right}) = 0.25(36 + 50) = 0.25*86 = 21.5 N

A subway train accelerates from rest at one station at a rate of 1.30 m/s^2 for half of the distance to the next station, then d
Minchanka [31]

This problems a perfect application for this acceleration formula:

         Distance = (1/2) (acceleration) (time)² .

During the speeding-up half:     1,600 meters = (1/2) (1.3 m/s²) T²
During the slowing-down half:    1,600 meters = (1/2) (1.3 m/s²) T²

Pick either half, and divide each side by  0.65 m/s²: 

                         T² = (1600 m) / (0.65 m/s²)

                         T = square root of (1600 / 0.65) seconds

Time for the total trip between the stations is double that time.

                         T =  2 √(1600/0.65) = <em>99.2 seconds</em>  (rounded)

La unidad de calor es la caloría; es posible expresarla en el sistema internacional de medidas??
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

Yes, the calorie can be expressed in SI units

Explanation:

1 calorie (1 cal) is defined as the amount of heat energy that must be supplied to 1 gram of water in order to raise its temperature by 1 degree Celsius (1^{\circ}C.

The calorie is not a unit of the International System (SI): the SI unit for the energy is the Joule (J).

However, it is possible to convert energy from calories to Joules, and viceversa. In fact, the conversion factor between the two units is:

1 calorie = 4.184 Joules

So, to convert from calories to Joules we simply multiply by 4.184, while if we want to convert from Joules to calories, we just divide by 4.184.

According to the momentum principle, the change in momentum of an object equals the impulse, which depends on______
3241004551 [841]

Answer: The momentum principle depends on MASS and VELOCITY.

Explanation:

The momentum principle states that net force changes the the momentum of an object where momentum is the product of the MASS of the body and it's VELOCITY.

Thus, momentum = mass(kg) ×velocity( m/s)= kgm/s ( derived unit)

Also to determine the rate of change of momentum;

Mass=m, initial velocity =u, final velocity = V and time =t

Initial momentum = mu

Final momentum = mv

Change in momentum = mv - mu

= m( v- u)

Rate of change of momentum=

m( v -u)/t --> equation 1

But V = u + at

Hence, a = v -u/t

Substitute for v -u/ t in equation 1

F = Kma, where k is constant and has the value of 1.

Therefore F = ma

Newton is the SI unit if force. It is defined as the force which gives a mass of 1kg an acceleration of 1 m/s².

IMPULSE is defined as the change of momentum of a body (mv-mu) or the product of force and time.

Thus impulse = force × time = m (v-u)

The unit is Ns ( Newton seconds) which is the same as change in momentum.
