A 10-cm-long spring is attached to theceiling. When a 2.0 kg mass is hung from it,the spring stretches to a length of 15 cm.a.Wh

at is the spring constant k?b.How long is the spring when a 3.0kg mass is suspended from it?

(a) 392 N/m

Hook's law states that:

$F=k\Delta x$ (1)

where

F is the force exerted on the spring

k is the spring constant

$\Delta x$ is the stretching/compression of the spring

In this problem:

- The force exerted on the spring is equal to the weight of the block attached to the spring:

$F=mg=(2.0 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=19.6 N$

- The stretching of the spring is

$\Delta x=15 cm-10 cm=5 cm=0.05 m$

Solving eq.(1) for k, we find the spring constant:

$k=\frac{F}{\Delta x}=\frac{19.6 N}{0.05 m}=392 N/m$

(b) 17.5 cm

If a block of m = 3.0 kg is attached to the spring, the new force applied is

$F=mg=(3.0 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=29.4 N$

And so, the stretch of the spring is

$\Delta x=\frac{F}{k}=\frac{29.4 N}{392 N/m}=0.075 m=7.5 cm$

And since the initial lenght of the spring is

$x_0 = 10 cm$

The final length will be

$x_f = x_0 +\Delta x=10 cm+7.5 cm=17.5 cm$

(a) The spring constant of the spring is 392 N/m

(b) Length of the spring is 17.5 cm

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

<em>Hooke's Law states that the length of a spring is directly proportional to the force acting on the spring.</em>

$\boxed {F = k \times \Delta x}$

<em>F = Force ( N )</em>

<em>k = Spring Constant ( N/m )</em>

<em>Δx = Extension ( m )</em>

$\texttt{ }$

The formula for finding Young's Modulus is as follows:

$\boxed {E = \frac{F / A}{\Delta x / x_o}}$

<em>E = Young's Modulus ( N/m² )</em>

<em>F = Force ( N )</em>

<em>A = Cross-Sectional Area ( m² )</em>

<em>Δx = Extension ( m )</em>

<em>x = Initial Length ( m )</em>

Let us now tackle the problem !

$\texttt{ }$

<u>Given:</u>

initial length of spring = Lo = 10 cm

mass of object = m = 2.0 kg

extension of the spring = x = 15 - 10 = 5 cm = 0.05 m

mass of second object = m' = 3.0 kg

<u>Asked:</u>

a. spring constant of the spring = k = ?

b. length of spring = L = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

<h3>Part a.</h3>

$F = kx$

$mg = kx$

$k = mg \div x$

$k = 2.0 ( 9.8 ) \div 0.05$

$\boxed {k = 392 \texttt{ N/m}}$

$\texttt{ }$

<h3>Part b.</h3>

$F' = kx'$

$m' g = k x'$

$x' = ( m' g ) \div k$

$x' = ( 3.0 (9.8) ) \div 392$

$x' = 0.075 \texttt{ m} = 7.5 \texttt{ cm}$

$\texttt{ }$

$L = Lo + x'$

$L = 10 + 7.5$

$\boxed {L = 17.5 \texttt{ cm}}$

Two red and two overlapping balls in the center are surrounded by a green, fuzzy, circular cloud with a white line running throu

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

A. The line leading a bracket around the balls, labeled A, represents the nucleus of the atom.

B. The white line, labeled B, is signaling the first main energy level, as per the quantum model of the atom.

Explanation:

You are describing the model of an atom with two protons, two neutrons, the electron density (orbital), and two electrons.

Then, you want to know what the <em>labels A</em> and <em>B</em> represent.

The nucleus of the atom is at the center, where protons and neutrons are placed. This is supported by three models: Rutherford's model, Bohr's model, and the (currently accepted) quantum model.

Hence, the red balls and the two overlapping balls in the center are representing the protons and neutrons.

The <em>line leading a bracket around the balls</em>, labeled A, represents the nucleus of the atom, since it is signaling both protons and neutrons in the nucleus.

The green fuzzy circular cloud depicts the region where the electrons are: it is fuzzy in correspondence to the quantum model, which states the electrons are not in a fixed position but in a region around the atom. That region is named orbitals. As per the model you cannot tell the exact position of the electron, and that is what the fuzzy cloud means.

In the the Bohr's model that white line, which should be circular, where the electrons are, depicts the orbit of the electrons, and the shell, which were idenfified with letters L, M, N, K. The first shell was the L shell.

In the quantum model, that line corresponds to the principal quantum number n, which is the main energy level. Hence, the line leading to a bracket overlapping the white line depicts the main energy level.

The atom is neutral because it contains the same number of electrons aroud the nucleus as protons inside the nucleus.

The Moment of Inertia of the Disc is represented by $I = \frac{15}{32}\cdot M\cdot R^{2}$ . (Correct answer: A)

Let suppose that the Disk is a Rigid Body whose mass is uniformly distributed. The Moment of Inertia of the element is equal to the Moment of Inertia of the entire Disk minus the Moment of Inertia of the Hole, that is to say:

$I = I_{D} - I_{H}$ (1)

Where:

$I_{D}$ - Moment of inertia of the Disk.

$I_{H}$ - Moment of inertia of the Hole.

Then, this formula is expanded as follows:

$I = \frac{1}{2}\cdot M\cdot R^{2} - \frac{1}{2}\cdot m\cdot \left(\frac{1}{2}\cdot R^{2} \right)$ (1b)

Dimensionally speaking, Mass is directly proportional to the square of the Radius, then we derive the following expression for the Mass removed by the Hole ( $m$ ):

$\frac{m}{M} = \frac{R^{2}}{4\cdot R^{2}}$

$m = \frac{1}{2}\cdot M$

And the resulting equation is:

$I = \frac{1}{2}\cdot M\cdot R^{2} -\frac{1}{2}\cdot \left(\frac{1}{4}\cdot M \right) \cdot \left(\frac{1}{4}\cdot R^{2} \right)$

$I = \frac{1}{2} \cdot M\cdot R^{2} - \frac{1}{32}\cdot M\cdot R^{2}$

$I = \frac{15}{32}\cdot M\cdot R^{2}$

The moment of inertia of the Disc is represented by $I = \frac{15}{32}\cdot M\cdot R^{2}$ . (Correct answer: A)
