The force an ideal spring exerts on an object is given by Fx = -kx, where x measures the displacement of the object from its equ

Answer:

The work done by this force can be found via the following formula

W = \int{F(x)} \, dx = \int\limits^0_{-20} {(-kx)} \, dx = \frac{-kx^2}{2}\left \{ {{x=0} \atop {x=-20}} \right. = \frac{-60*(-20)^2}{2} \\W = -12000J

Explanation:

Alternatively, the work done by the object is equal to the elastic potantial energy done by the spring.

U = \frac{1}{2}kx_2^2 - \frac{1}{2}kx_1^2 =0 - \frac{1}{2}60(-20)^2 = -12000J

A snowball is thrown with an initial x velocity of 7.5 m/s and an initial y velocity of 8.4 m/s . Part A How much time is requir
elena55 [62]

In order to calculate the time taken by the snowball to reach the highest point in its journey, we need to consider the variables along the y-direction.

Let us list out what we know from the question so that we can decide on the equation to be used.

We know that Initial Y VelocityV_{iy} = 8.4 m/s

Acceleration in the Y direction a_{y} = -9.8 m/s^{2}, since the acceleration due to gravity points in the downward direction.

Final Y Velocity V_{fy} = 0 because at the highest point in its path, an object comes to rest momentarily before falling down.

Time taken t = ?

From the list above, it is easy to see that the equation that best suits our purpose here is V_{fy} = V_{iy} + a_{y}t

Plugging in the numbers, we get 0 = 8.4 - (9.8)t

Solving for t, we get t = 0.857 s

Therefore, the snowball takes 0.86 seconds to reach its highest point.

Calculate the self-inductance (in mH) of a 45.0 cm long, 10.0 cm diameter solenoid having 1000 loops. mH (b) How much energy (in
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

(a) The self inductance, L = 21.95 mH

(b) The energy stored, E = 4.84 J

(c) the time, t = 0.154 s

Explanation:

(a) Self inductance is calculated as;

L = \frac{N^2 \mu_0 A}{l}

where;

N is the number of turns = 1000 loops

μ is the permeability of free space = 4π x 10⁻⁷ H/m

l is the length of the inductor, = 45 cm = 0.45 m

A is the area of the inductor (given diameter = 10 cm = 0.1 m)

A = \pi r^2 = \frac{\pi d^2}{4} = \frac{\pi \times (0.1)^2}{4} = 0.00786 \ m^2

L = \frac{(1000)^2 \times (4\pi \times 10^{-7}) \times (0.00786)}{0.45} \\\\L = 0.02195 \ H\\\\L = 21.95 \ mH

(b) The energy stored in the inductor when 21 A current ;

E = \frac{1}{2}LI^2\\\\E = \frac{1}{2} \times (0.02195) \times (21) ^2\\\\E = 4.84 \ J

(c) time it can be turned off if the induced emf cannot exceed 3.0 V;

emf = L \frac{\Delta I}{\Delta t} \\\\t = \frac{LI}{emf} \\\\t = \frac{0.02195 \times 21}{3} \\\\t = 0.154 \ s

A 2.2 kgkg block slides along a frictionless surface at 1.2 m/sm/s . A second block, sliding at a faster 4.0 m/sm/s , collides w
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

0.6kg

Explanation:

the unknown here is the mass of the second block

applying the law of the conservation of momentum

m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = (m₁ + m₂) v₃

where m₁=mass of first block=2.2kg

m₂=mass of colliding block= ?

v₁= velocity of first block=1.2m/s

v₂=velocity of colliding block=4.0m/s

v₃= final velocity of combined block=1.8m/s

applying the formula above

(2.2 × 1.2) + (m₂ × 4) = (2.2 + m₂) × 1.8

2.64 + 4m₂ = 3.96 + 1.8m₂

collecting like terms

4m₂ - 1.8m₂ = 3.96 - 2.64

2.2m₂=1.32

divide both sides by 2.2

m₂= 0.6kg
