The work required to strecth the spring is about 2.0 Joules

$\texttt{ }$

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Let's recall Elastic Potential Energy formula as follows:

$\boxed{E_p = \frac{1}{2}k x^2}$

<em>where:</em>

<em>Ep = elastic potential energy ( J )</em>

<em>k = spring constant ( N/m )</em>

<em>x = spring extension ( compression ) ( m )</em>

Let us now tackle the problem!

$\texttt{ }$

<u>Given:</u>

spring constant = k = 2500 N/m

extension = x = 4.00 cm = 4.00 × 10⁻² m

<u>Asked:</u>

work required = W = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

<em>We will calculate the </em><em>work</em><em> required to stretch the spring as follows:</em>

$W = E_p$

$W = \frac{1}{2} k x^2$

$W = \frac{1}{2} \times 2500 \times ( 4.00 \times 10^{-2} )^2$

$W = 1250 \times ( 16.00 \times 10^{-4} )$

$W = 20000 \times 10^{-4}$

$W = 2.0 \times 10^4 \times 10^{-4}$

$W = 2.0 \texttt{ J}$

The work required to strecth the spring is about 2.0 Joules

W = 1/2k*x^2.

k = spring constant = 2500 n/m.
x = distance = 4 cm = 0.04m (convert to same units).

W = 1/2(2500)(0.04)^2 = 2J.

We want to construct a solenoid with a resistance of 4.30 Ω and generate a magnetic field of 3.70 × 10−2 T at its center when ap

marshall27 [118]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Resistance of solenoid,R=4.3 ohm

Magnetic field,B= $3.7\times 10^{-2} T$

Current,I=4.6 A

Diameter of wire,d=0.5 mm= $0.5\times 10^{-3} m$

Radius of wire,r= $\frac{d}{2}=\frac{0.5\times 10^{-3}}{2}=0.25\times 10^{-3} m$

$1mm=10^{-3} m$

Radius of solenoid,r'=1 cm= $1\times 10^{-2} m$

$1 cm=10^{-2} m$

Resistivity of copper, $\rho=1.68\times 10^{-8}\Omega m$

We know that

$R=\frac{\rho l}{A}$

Where $A=\pi r^2$

Using the formula

$4.3=\frac{1.68\times 10^{-8}\times l}{\pi(0.25\times 10^{-3})^2}$

$l=\frac{4.3\times \pi(0.25\times 10^{-3})^2}{1.68\times 10^{-8}}=50.23 m$

Number of turns of wire= $\frac{l}{2\pi r'}$

Number of turns of wire= $\frac{50.26}{2\pi(1\times 10^{-2}}=800$

Hence, the number of turns of the solenoid,N=799

Magnetic field in solenoid,B= $\mu_0 nI$

$3.7\times 10^{-2}=4\pi\times 10^{-7} n\times 4.6$

$n=\frac{3.7\times 10^{-2}}{4\times 3.14\times 10^{-7}\times 4.6}$

$n=6404 turns/m$

$n=\frac{N}{L}$

$L=\frac{N}{n}$

$L=\frac{799}{6404}$

$L=0.125 m=0.125\times 100=12.5 cm$

Length of solenoid=12.5 cm

1m=100 cm

A manufacturer claims its cleanser works twice as fast as any other. Could test be performed to support the claim? Explain

lora16 [44]

Yes, a test could be performed to support the claim.

Hypothesis: The claim that a manufacturer’s cleanser works twice as fast as any other cleanser.

So, based from this hypothesis, we can perform the following tests:

We assign Cleanser A to the manufacturer that claims that their cleanser works twice as fast as any other cleanser and Cleanser B to the cleanser to be compared with.

1. Get two tiles and put the same amount of stain on them.

2. Apply Cleanser A on the first tile and Cleanser B on the second tile.

3. Apply the same amount of force in removing the stains on both tiles

4. Record the amount of time it takes to remove the stains on each tile.

In an LC circuit containing a 40-mH ideal inductor and a 1.2-mF capacitor, the maximum charge on the capacitor is 45mC during os

GalinKa [24]

Answer:

E) 6.5 A

Explanation:

Given that

L = 40 m H

C= 1.2 m F

Maximum charge on capacitor ,Q= 45 m C

The maximum current I given as

I = Q.ω

ω =angular frequency

$\omega=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{CL}}$

By putting the values

$\omega=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{CL}}$

$\omega=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{40\times 10^{-3}\times 1.2 \times 10^{-3}}}$

ω = 144.33 rad⁻¹

Maximum current

I = 45 x 10⁻³ x 144.33 A

I= 6.49 A

I = 6.5 A

E) 6.5 A
