An unstrained horizontal spring has a length of 0.31 m and a spring constant of 220 N/m. Two small charged objects are attached

to this spring, one at each end. The charges on the objects have equal magnitudes. Because of these charges, the spring stretches by 0.022 m relative to its unstrained length. Determine (
a. the possible algebraic signs and (
b. the magnitude of the charges.

The solution you should use is Hooke's law: F=-kx

It should have the same signs because they repel due to the stretch of the spring. 

a. Since there is a constant energy within the spring, then Hooke's law will determine the possible algebraic signs. The solution should be 
<span>F = kx 
270 N/m x 0.38 m = 102.6 N 
</span>
b. Then use Coulomb's law; F=kq1q2/r^2 to find the charges produced in the force.

An airliner arrives at the terminal, and its engines are shut off. The rotor of one of the engines has an initial clockwise angu
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

(a) 1200 rad/s

The angular acceleration of the rotor is given by:

\alpha = \frac{\omega_f - \omega_i}{t}

where we have

\alpha = -80.0 rad/s^2 is the angular acceleration (negative since the rotor is slowing down)

\omega_f is the final angular speed

\omega_i = 2000 rad/s is the initial angular speed

t = 10.0 s is the time interval

Solving for \omega_f, we find the final angular speed after 10.0 s:

\omega_f = \omega_i + \alpha t = 2000 rad/s + (-80.0 rad/s^2)(10.0 s)=1200 rad/s

(b) 25 s

We can calculate the time needed for the rotor to come to rest, by using again the same formula:

\alpha = \frac{\omega_f - \omega_i}{t}

If we re-arrange it for t, we get:

t = \frac{\omega_f - \omega_i}{\alpha}

where here we have

\omega_i = 2000 rad/s is the initial angular speed

\omega_f=0 is the final angular speed

\alpha = -80.0 rad/s^2 is the angular acceleration

Solving the equation,

t=\frac{0-2000 rad/s}{-80.0 rad/s^2}=25 s
