Two identical 0.400 kg masses are pressed against opposite ends of a light spring of force constant 1.75 N/cm, compressing the s

pring by 39.0 cm from its normal length. Find the speed of each mass when it has moved free of the spring on a frictionless horizontal table.

Answer:

0.853 m/s

Explanation:

Total energy stored in the spring = Total kinetic energy of the masses.

1/2ke² = 1/2m'v².................... Equation 1

Where k = spring constant of the spring, e = extension, m' = total mass, v = speed of the masses.

make v the subject of the equation,

v = e[√(k/m')].................... Equation 2

Given: e = 39 cm = 0.39 m, m' = 0.4+0.4 = 0.8 kg, k = 1.75 N/cm = 175 N/m.

Substitute into equation 2

v = 0.39[√(1.75/0.8)

v = 0.39[2.1875]

v = 0.853 m/s

Hence the speed of each mass = 0.853 m/s

I push a box with mass 10 kg across a 15 m room. If I apply a force of 20N to do this how much work is being done on the box?
devlian [24]
You could use the formula

W=Fd

F(force)=20N

D(distance/displacement) =15m

W=(20N)(15m)

W= 300 J

A force of 120 N is applied to the front of a sled so as to pull the sled a distance of 165
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 19,800 J</h3>

Explanation:

The work done by an object can be found by using the formula

<h3>workdone = force × distance</h3>

From the question

force = 120 N

distance = 165 m

We have

work done = 120 × 165

We have the final answer as

<h3>19,800 J</h3>

Hope this helps you

Two passengers are on a moving sidewalk at the airport. Passenger A is
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

V = - 2[m/s]

Explanation:

This is a classic problem of relative velocities, in order to solve it we must understand each of the velocities, given in the initial data of the problem.

VA = velocity of passenger A, = 1.5[km/h], it is the same velocity of the sidewalk

VB = 2 + 1.5 = 3.5 [km/h], that is the velocity observed by a person outside from the sidewalk.

And from the perspective of passenger B the speed of passanger A is:

VA-VB = - 2 [m/s]

It means that the passenger B is seen how passenger A is getting close to him and then passed.

A circular loop of wire lies in the plane of the paper. An increasing magnetic field points out of the paper. What is the direct
elixir [45]

<u>Answer:</u>

Option (D)

Clockwise

<u>Explanation:</u>

Using Lenz's Law the current is induced in such a direction so that the magnetic field created due to the current  induced opposes the increasing external magnetic field. For this case,when the field is increasing the magnetic flux increases   and current is induced in clockwise direction (by lenz law as the induced field due to induced current has influence in  opposite direction,thereby it  reduces flux).

If the field is being decreasing,current would have been induced counter-clockwise so as to oppose the decreasing flux(as then the induced flux would be in same direction.)
