How far must you stretch a spring with k = 1600 N/m to store 260 J of energy?

Energy stored in a spring = 1/2*k*x^2

Where, x = increase in length of the spring

Therefore,
260 = 1/2*1600*x^2 =800x^2 => x^2 = 260/800 = 0.325 => x = sqrt (0.325) = 0.57 m

The length of the spring must increase by 0.57 m to store 260 J

A ball is thrown straight up from the ground with speed v0. At the same instant, a second ball is dropped from rest from a heigh
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

a)t = H/v_0

b)H = v_0^2/g

Explanation:

Let the first ball throw be the point of reference, we can have following the equation of motion:

1st ball: h_1 = v_0t - gt^2/2

2nd ball: h_2 = H - gt^2/2

a)When the 2 balls collide they are at the same spot at the same time:

h_1 = h_2

v_0t - gt^2/2 = H - gt^2/2

v_0t = H

t = H/v_0

b) The first ball is at its highest point when v = 0. That is

t = v_0/g

After this time, the 2 balls would have traveled through a distance of

h_1 = v_0t - gt^2/2 = v_0^2/g - v_0^2/2g

h_2 = gt^2/2 = v_0^2/2g

SinceH = h_1 + h_2 we can solve for H

H = v_0^2/g - v_0^2/2g + v_0^2/2g = v_0^2/g

An electric charge, A, is placed carefully between two other charges, B and C, and experiences no net electric force. Do B
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

I do not have  enough information to tell

Explanation:

This is deduced due to the fact that if the net force due to B and C on A is zero, the charges on B and C could either be positive or negative depending on the charge on A.

Unpolarized light shines pon a photocell for one hour. then, two polarizers, whose transmission axies are offset by 60, are plac
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

  t = 1.10 h

Explanation:

For this exercise we must calculate the intensity that reaches the cell with the polarizers, for this we use Malus's law

          I = I₀ cos² θ

Let's calculate

         I = I₀ cos² 60

         I = I₀ 0.907

This is the intensity that reaches the cell

To find time, use an inverse proportion rule or rule of three, the intensity Io in

        t = I₀ / (0.907 I₀) 1 h

        t = 1.10 h
