Answer:
x = 5.79 m
Explanation:
given,
mass of the car = 39000 Kg
spring constant = 5.7 x 10⁵ N/m
acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²
height of the track = 25 m
length of spring compressed = ?
using conservation of energy
potential energy is converted into spring energy
x = 5.79 m
the spring is compressed to x = 5.79 m to stop the car.
Answer:
W = 100000 J = 100 KJ
Explanation:
Here we will use the most basic and general formula of work, which is as follows:
where,
W = Work Done = ?
F = Force Required = 200 N
d = Length of Track = 500 m
Therefore,
<u>W = 100000 J = 100 KJ</u>
Answer:
1) Mass that needs to be converted at 100% efficiency is 0.3504 kg
2) Mass that needs to be converted at 30% efficiency is 1.168 kg
Explanation:
By the principle of mass energy equivalence we have
where,
'E' is the energy produced
'm' is the mass consumed
'c' is the velocity of light in free space
Now the energy produced by the reactor in 1 year equals
Thus the mass that is covertred at 100% efficiency is
Part 2)
At 30% efficiency the mass converted equals
