The spring has a stiffness k=200 N/m and is unstretched when the 25 kg block is at A. Determine the acceleration of the block wh

en s=0.4 m. The contact surface between the block and the plane is smooth (no friction).
(solve using F=ma for acceleration and U=Δ T+Δ V for velocity)

<u>Acceleration of the block = 3.2 m/s</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given data:

k = 200 N/m

m = 25 kg

s = 0.4 m

Now, in order to calculate the force that is applied to a spring, we use the formula:

F = ks

where k is the spring constant and s is the extension.

We also know that,

F = ma

where m is the mass and a is the acceleration.

Since both are the formulas for force, we can write as:

ma = ks

a = ks/m

Now substituting the values in the above equation,

a = <u>200 × 0.4</u>

25

a = 3.2 m/s

What is engine knock? What cause the engine knock problem?

antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

When the uneven burning of the fuel takes place due to the incorrect air/fuel mixture inside the engine cylinder, a knocking sound is observed. This is called as the engine knocking.

Explanation:

When the uneven burning of the fuel takes place due to the incorrect air/fuel mixture inside the engine cylinder, a knocking sound is observed. This is called as the engine knocking.

The engine knock problem can be caused due to the following reason

a) When the octane rating of the fuel used is low.

b) The deposition of the carbon around the cylinder walls takes place.

c) The spark plug used in the vehicle is not correct.

53. The plan of a building is in the form of a rectangle with

schepotkina [342]

Answer: 150m

Explanation:

The following can be depicted from the question:

Dimensions of outer walls = 9.7m × 14.7m.

Thickness of the wall = 0.30 m

Therefore, the plinth area of the building will be:

= (9.7 + 0.30/2 + 0.30/2) × (14.7 × 0.30/2 + 0.30/2)

= 10 × 15

= 150m

You want to plate a steel part having a surface area of 160 with a 0.002--thick layer of lead. The atomic mass of lead is 207.19

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

<u><em>To answer this question we assumed that the area units and the thickness units are given in inches.</em></u>

The number of atoms of lead required is 1.73x10²³.

Explanation:

To find the number of atoms of lead we need to find first the volume of the plate:

$V = A*t$

<u>Where</u>:

A: is the surface area = 160

t: is the thickness = 0.002

<u><em>Assuming that the units given above are in inches we proceed to calculate the volume: </em></u>

$V = A*t = 160 in^{2}*0.002 in = 0.32 in^{3}*(\frac{2.54 cm}{1 in})^{3} = 5.24 cm^{3}$

Now, using the density we can find the mass:

$m = d*V = 11.36 g/cm^{3}*5.24 cm^{3} = 59.5 g$

Finally, with the Avogadros number ( $N_{A}$ ) and with the atomic mass (A) we can find the number of atoms (N):

$N = \frac{m*N_{A}}{A} = \frac{59.5 g*6.022 \cdot 10^{23} atoms/mol}{207.19 g/mol} = 1.73 \cdot 10^{23} atoms$

Hence, the number of atoms of lead required is 1.73x10²³.

I hope it helps you!

The particle travels along the path defined by the parabola y=0.5x2, where x and y are in ft. If the component of velocity along

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

D=41.48 ft

$a=54.43\ ft/s^2$

Explanation:

Given that

y=0.5 x²

Vx= 2 t

We know that

$V_x=\dfrac{dx}{dt}$

At t= 0 ,x=0

$x=\int V_x.dt$

At t= 3 s

$x=\int_{0}^{3} 2t.dt$

$x=[t^2\left\right ]_0^3$

x= 9 ft

When x= 9 ft then

y= 0.5 x 9² ft

y= 40.5 ft

So distance from origin is

x= 9 ft ,y= 40.5 ft

$D=\sqrt{9^2+40.5^2} \ ft$

D=41.48 ft

$a_x=\dfrac{dV_x}{dt}$

Vx= 2 t

$a_x= 2\ ft/s^2$

At t= 3 s , x= 9 ft

y=0.5 x²

$a_y=\dfrac{d^2y}{dt^2}$

y=0.5 x²

$\dfrac{dy}{dt}=x\dfrac{dx}{dt}$

$\dfrac{d^2y}{dt^2}=\left(\dfrac{dx}{dt}\right)^2+x\dfrac{d^2x}{dt^2}$

Given that

$\dfrac{dx}{dt}=2t$

$\dfrac{dx}{dt}=2\times 3$

$\dfrac{dx}{dt}=6\ ft/s$

$a_y=\dfrac{d^2y}{dt^2}=6^2+9\times 2\ ft/s^2$

$a_y=54\ ft/s^2$

$a=\sqrt{a_x^2+a_y^2}\ ft/s^2$

$a=\sqrt{2^2+54^2}\ ft/s^2$

$a=54.43\ ft/s^2$
