Dwight uses a spring (k = 70 N/m) on a horizontal surface to make a launcher for model cars. The spring is attached to a holder

that has a mass of 0.3 kg. If he compresses the spring and releases it, the launcher will move back and forth in periodic motion.
a. If he compresses the spring by 0.4 m and releases it, what is the acceleration of the launcher as the spring reaches its natural length?

b. What is the maximum kinetic energy fo the launcher?

c. What is the maximum speed of the launcher?

Part A)

As we know that spring force is given by

F = kx

here x = stretch in the spring from natural length

So here when spring reaches to its natural length

Force due to spring = 0

so acceleration = 0

Part b)

When spring is compressed from its natural length it will have elastic potential energy in it

so it is given by

$U = \frac{1}{2}kx^2$

now we know that there is no friction in it so maximum kinetic energy of the launcher must be equal to the elastic potential energy of the spring

$KE = \frac{1}{2}kx^2$

here we have

k = 70 N/m

x = 0.4 m

$KE = \frac{1}{2}(70)(0.4)^2$

$KE = 5.6 J$

Part c)

Now to find the speed we know that

$KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2$

$5.6 = \frac{1}{2}0.3v^2$

$v = 6.11 m/s$

so its speed is 6.11 m/s

a) In the very beginning its acceleration is quite big, but when the spring is stretched to the normal length, its acceleration is 0.

b) Speed will be

KE=1/2 mv^2=1/2 kx^2=5.6 J

c) $v=\sqrt{\frac{2KE}{m} }=6.11$ m/s

Tracy makes a list of energy transformations that occur as an engine runs to power a car. 1. chemical energy transforms into the

alex41 [277]

Transformation 3 should Tracy removed from the list. Chemical energy transforms into gravitational potential energy.

<h3> What is the law of conservation of energy?</h3>

According to the Law of Conservation of Energy, energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but it can be transferred from one form to another.

The total energy is the sum of all the energies present in the system. The potential energy in a system is due to its position in the system.

Transformations that occur as an engine runs to power a car is;

1. Chemical energy of fuel transforms into thermal energy.

2. Thermal energy transforms into electrical energy used to lighten the bulb in a car.

3. Thermal energy transforms into kinetic energy to help to run the car.

Chemical energy transforms into gravitational potential energy is the incorrect energy transformation.

Hence, transformation 3 should Tracy removed from the list.

Baryon number is +1 on the left side of the equation, 0 on the

right side. Baryon number is not conserved.

<h3>How do you determine whether a baryon number is conserved?</h3>

According to the law of conservation of baryon number, the sum of the baryon numbers of all incoming particles equals the sum of the baryon numbers of all particles produced by the reaction. Energy, and so on, are conserved even if the incoming proton has sufficient energy and charge.

<h3>What is Baryon Number</h3>

In particle physics, the baryon number denotes which particles are baryons and which particles are not. Each baryon has a baryon number of 1, and each antibaryon has a baryon number of -1. Other non-baryonic particles have a baryon number of 0. Since there are exotic hadrons like pentaquarks and tetraquarks, there is a general definition of baryon number as:

B=1/3( $n_{q} -n_q^{-} }$ )

where $n_{q}$ represents the number of quarks and nq represents the number of antiquarks.

A 2.00 kg block hangs from a spring balance calibrated in Newtons that is attached to the ceiling of an elevator.(a) What does t

tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

Part a)

$Reading = 2.00 kg$

Part b)

$Reading = 2.00 kg$

Part c)

$Reading = 4.04 kg$

Part d)

from t = 0 to t = 4.9 s

so the reading of the scale will be same as that of weight of the block

Then its speed will reduce to zero in next 3.2 s

from t = 4.9 to t = 8.1 s

The reading of the scale will be less than the actual mass

Explanation:

Part a)

When elevator is ascending with constant speed then we will have

$F_{net} = 0$

$T - mg = 0$

$T = mg$

So it will read same as that of the mass

$Reading = 2.00 kg$

Part b)

When elevator is decending with constant speed then we will have

$F_{net} = 0$

$T - mg = 0$

$T = mg$

So it will read same as that of the mass

$Reading = 2.00 kg$

Part c)

When elevator is ascending with constant speed 39 m/s and acceleration 10 m/s/s then we will have

$F_{net} = ma$

$T - mg = ma$

$T = mg + ma$

Reading is given as

$Reading = \frac{mg + ma}{g}$

$Reading = 2.00\frac{9.81 + 10}{9.81}$

$Reading = 4.04 kg$

Part d)

Here the speed of the elevator is constant initially

from t = 0 to t = 4.9 s

so the reading of the scale will be same as that of weight of the block

Then its speed will reduce to zero in next 3.2 s

from t = 4.9 to t = 8.1 s

The reading of the scale will be less than the actual mass
