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}}

In series circuit, Req = R₁ + R₂ + R₃ + ···

In parallel circuit, \frac{1}{Req}  = \frac{1}{R1} + \frac{1}{R2} + \frac{1}{R3} +...

<h3>Q7.</h3>

total resistance in the upper branch = R₂ + R₃ = R₂ + 2

\frac{1}{Req} = \frac{1}{R2+R3} + \frac{1}{R1}

\frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{R2+2} +\frac{1}{6}

R₂ + 2 = 12

R₂ = 10Ω

<h3>Q8.</h3>

\frac{1}{Req} = \frac{1}{R2+R3} + \frac{1}{R1}

\frac{1}{Req} = \frac{1}{2+1} + \frac{1}{4}

Req = 1.7Ω

200 kW of solar radiation is shining on a 300 m^2 parking lot. What is the insulation on the parking lot?
ale4655 [162]

That's "<em><u>insolation</u></em>" ... not "insulation".

'Insolation' is simply the intensity of solar radiation over some area.

If 200 kW of radiation is shining on 300 m² of area, then the insolation is

           (200 kW) / (300 m²) = <em>(666 and 2/3) watt/m²</em> .

Note that this is the intensity of the <em><u>incident</u></em> radiation.  It doesn't say anything
about how much soaks in or how much bounces off.

Wait ! 
I just looked back at the choices, and realized that I didn't answer the question
at all.  I have no idea what  "1 sun"  means.  Forgive me.  I have stolen your
points, and I am filled with remorse.

Wait again !
I found it, through literally several seconds of online research.

           1 sun = 1 kW/m².

So 2/3 of a kW per m²  =  2/3 of 1 sun

That's between 0.5 sun and 1.0 sun.

I feel better now, and plus, I learned something.

Well, if your question is how light affects plants,

then you would want to design an experiment that plays aruond with the amount of light a plant gets

thus the thing changing (or variable) would be amount of light
