You are an industrial engineer with a shipping company. As part of the package- handling system, a small box with mass 1.60 kg i

s placed against a light spring that is compressed 0.280 m. The spring has force constant 48.0 N/m . The spring and box are released from rest, and the box travels along a horizontal surface for which the coefficient of kinetic friction with the box is μk = 0.300. When the box has traveled 0.280 m and the spring has reached its equilibrium length, the box loses contact with the spring. (a) What is the speed of the box at the instant when it leaves the spring? (b) What is the maximum speed of the box during its motion?

Answer:

v = 0.84m/s, v(max)= 0.997m/s

Explanation:

Initial work done by the spring, where c is the compression = 0.28m:

W_s = \frac{1}{2}kc^2

Work lost to friction:

W_f =\mu mg(c-x)

Energy:

E = W_s-W_f=\frac{1}{2}kc^2 -\mu mg(c-x)=\frac{1}{2}mv^2+\frac{1}{2}kx^2

(a) Solve for v:

v=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}(c^2-x^2)-2\mu g(c-x)}

(b) Solve \frac{dv}{dx}=0 for x:

\frac{dv}{dx}=\frac{\mu g-\frac{k}{m}x}{\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}(c^2-x^2)-2\mu g(c-x)}}

\frac{dv}{dx}=0 if:

\mu g-\frac{k}{m}x = 0

x_{max} = \frac{\mu gm}{k}

v_{max}=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}c^2-2\mu gc+(\mu g)^2\frac{m}{k}}

The ratio of carbon-14 to nitrogen-14 is an artifact is 1:3. Given that half-life of carbon-14 is 5730years, how old is the arti
dusya [7]

Answer:

9155 years old

Explanation:

We use the following expression for the decay of a substance:

N = N_0\,\,e^{-k*t}

So we first estimate the value of k knowing that the half-life of the C14 is 5730 years:

N = N_0\,\,e^{-k*t}\\N_0/2=N_0\,\,e^{-k*5730}\\1/2 = e^{-k*5730}\\ln(1/2)=-k*5730\\k= 0.00012

so, now we can estimate the age of the artifact by solving for"t" in the equation:

1/3=e^{-0.00012*t}\\ln(1/3)= -0.00012*t\\t=9155. 102

which we can round to 9155 years old.

An amoeba has 1.00 x 1016 protons and a net charge of 0.300 pC. Assuming there are 1.88 x 106 fewer electrons than protons, If y
Xelga [282]

Answer:

The fraction of the protons would have no electrons =1.88\times 10^{-10}

Explanation:

We are given that

Amoeba has total number of protons=1.00\times 10^{16}

Net charge, Q=0.300pC

Electrons are fewer than protons=1.88\times 10^6

We have to find the fraction of protons would have no electrons.

The fraction of the protons would have no electrons

=\frac{Fewer\;electrons}{Total\;protons}

The fraction of the protons would have no electrons

=\frac{1.88\times 10^{6}}{1.00\times 10^{16}}

=1.88\times 10^{-10}

Hence, the fraction of the protons would have no electrons =1.88\times 10^{-10}

If the mass of the object is doubled and the speed is halved then kinetic energy will change by a factor of:
madam [21]

Answer:

kinetic energy will change by a factor of 1/2

Option C) 1/2 is the correct answer

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

we know that;

Kinetic energy = 1/2.mv²

given that mass of the object is doubled; m1 = 2m

speed is halved; v1 = V/2

Now, New kinetic energy will be; 1/2.m1v1²

we substitute

Kinetic Energy = 1/2 × 2m × (v/2)²

Kinetic Energy = 1/2 × 2m × (v²/4)

Kinetic Energy = 1/2 × m × (v²/2)

Kinetic Energy = 1/2 [ 1/2mv² ]

Kinetic Energy = 1/2 [ KE ]

Therefore; kinetic energy will change by a factor of 1/2

Option C) 1/2 is the correct answer

A gas in a cylinder expands from a volume of 0.110 m³ to 0.320 m³. heat flows into the gas just rapidly enough to keep the press
Elden [556K]

80000 Joule is the change in the internal energy of the gas.

<h3>In Thermodynamics, work done by the gas during expansion at constant pressure:</h3>

ΔW = -pdV

ΔW = -pd (V₂ -V₁)

ΔW = - 1.65×10⁵ pa (0.320m³ - 0.110m³)

     = - 0.35×10⁵ pa.m³

     = - 35000 (N/m³)(m³)

     = -35000 Nm

ΔW = -35000 Joule

Therefore, work done by the system = -35000 Joule

<h3>Change in the internal energy of the gas,</h3>

ΔV = ΔQ + ΔW

Given:

ΔQ = 1.15×10⁵ Joule

ΔW = -35000 Joule

ΔU = 1.15×10⁵ Joule - 35000 Joule

      = 80000 Joule.

Therefore, the change in the internal energy of the gas= 80000 Joule.
