In a room that is 2.41 m high, a spring (unstrained length = 0.30 m) hangs from the ceiling. A board whose length is 1.86 m is a

ttached to the free end of the spring. The board hangs straight down, so that its 1.86-m length is perpendicular to the floor. The weight of the board (104 N) stretches the spring so that the lower end of the board just extends to, but does not touch, the floor. What is the spring constant of the spring?

Answer:

416 N\m

Explanation:

Weight of board

W=ma\\\Rightarrow W=104\ N

Length the spring can stretch = Total height of room - (unstrained length of spring + Length of Board)

2.41-(0.3+1.86)\\\Rightarrow 2.41-2.16=0.25\ m

From Hooke's law

W=kx\\\Rightarrow k=\frac{W}{x}\\\Rightarrow k=\frac{104}{0.25}\\\Rightarrow k=416\ N\m

The spring constant is 416 N/m

An airplane touches down on the runway with a speed of 70 m/s2. Determine the airplane after each second of its deceleration.
ivann1987 [24]
<span>vf^2 = vi^2 + 2*a*d
---
vf = velocity final
vi = velocity initial
a = acceleration
d = distance
---
since the airplane is decelerating to zero, vf = 0
---
0 = 55*55 + 2*(-2.5)*d
d = (-55*55)/(2*(-2.5))
d = 605 meters

A car whose total mass is 800kg travelling with a uniform velocity of 20m/s suddenly observes a stationary dog 50m ahead on its
maxonik [38]

Answer:

The driver hits the stationery dog because the applied force is less than required force

Explanation:

Kinetic energy will be given by

KE=0.5mv^{2} where m is the mass of the vehicle and v is the speed/velocity of the vehicle.

Substituting 800 Kg for m and 20 m/s for v we obtain

KE=0.5*800*(20 m/s)^{2}=160,000

Frictional force by vehicle pads is given by

Fr=\frac {KE}{d} where d is the distance moved

Substituting 160000 for KE and 50 m for d we obtain

Fr=\frac {160000}{50}=3200 N

Therefore, the vehicle hits the dog since the required force is 3200N but the driver applied only 2000 N

A 0.75μF capacitor is charged to 70 V . It is then connected in series with a 55Ω resistor and a 140 Ω resistor and allowed to d
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Capacitor of 0.75μF, charged to 70V and connect in series with 55Ω and 140 Ω to discharge.

Energy dissipates in 55Ω resistor is given by V²/R

Since the 55ohms and 140ohms l discharge the capacitor fully, the voltage will be zero volts and this voltage will be shared by the resistor in ratio.

So for 55ohms, using voltage divider rule

V=R1/(R1+R2) ×Vt

V=55/(55+140) ×70

V=19.74Volts is across the 55ohms resistor.

Then, energy loss will be

E=V²/R

E=19.74²/55

E=7.09J

7.09J of heat is dissipated by the 55ohms resistor
