Answer: The force constant k is 10600 kg/s^2

Step by step:

Use the law of energy conservation. When the elevator hits the spring, it has a certain kinetic and a potential energy. When the elevator reaches the point of still stand the kinetic and potential energies have been transformed to work performed by the elevator in the form of friction (brake clamp) and loading the spring.

Let us define the vertical height axis as having two points: h=2m at the point of elevator hitting the spring, and h=0m at the point of stopping.

The total energy at the point h=2m is:

E_{tot}=E_{kin}+E_{pot}\\E_{tot}= \frac{1}{2}mv^2+mg\Delta h = \frac{1}{2}2000 kg 4^2\frac{m^2}{s^2}+2000kg\, 9.8\frac{m}{s^2}2m=55200\,kg\frac{m^2}{s^2}

The total energy at the point h=0m is:

E_{tot}=E_{kin}+E_{pot}+Work=0+0+ Work\\E_{tot} =F_{friction}\Delta h+\frac{1}{2}k (\Delta h)^2=17000N\cdot 2m+\frac{1}{2}k\cdot 2^2 m^2

The two Energy values are to be equal (by law of energy conservation), which allows us to determine the only unknown, namely the force constant k:

17000N\cdot 2m+\frac{1}{2}k\cdot 2^2 m^2 = 55200 \,kg\frac{m^2}{s^2}\\k = \frac{55200-34000}{2}\,\frac{kg}{s^2}=10600\frac{kg}{s^2}

A dime is placed in front of a concave mirror that has a radius of curvature R = 0.40 m. The image of the dime is inverted and t
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

distance between the dime and the mirror, u = 0.30 m

Given:

Radius of curvature, r = 0.40 m

magnification, m = - 2 (since,inverted image)

Solution:

Focal length is half the radius of curvature, f = \frac{r}{2}

f = \frac{0.40}{2} = 0.20 m

Now,

m = - \frac{v}{u}

- 2 = -\frac{v}{u}

\frac{v}{u} = 2                  (2)

Now, by lens maker formula:

\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{u} + \frac{1}{v}

\frac{1}{v} = \frac{1}{f} - \frac{1}{u}

v = \frac{uf}{u - f}            (3)

From eqn (2):

v = 2u

put v = 2u in eqn (3):

2u = \frac{uf}{u - f}

2 = \frac{f}{u - f}

2(u - 0.20) = 0.20

u = 0.30 m

Which best describes a difference between laser light and regular light?
Inga [223]
The basic difference is that the ordinary sources are incoherent that means that the discrete frequencies merge up to give an intermediate between the maximum and minimum frequencies. While the laser is coherent containing the single frequency with maximum amplitude. thus travelling far.
