Imagine a spring made of a material that is not very elastic, so that the spring force does not satisfy Hooke’s Law, but instead

satisfies the equation F = −α x + β x3 , where α = 5.2 N/m and β = 700 N/m3 . Calculate the work done by the spring when it is stretched from its equilibrium position to 0.12 m past its equilibrium. Answer in units of mJ.

Answer:

     W = -1.152 mJ

Explanation:

given,

F = −α x + β x³

α = 5.2 N/m and β = 700 N/m³

Work done = ?

length of stretch = ?

we know,

W = F . ds

W = \intF . dx

W = \int_0^{0.12} (-\alpha x + \beta x^3).dx

W = \int_0^{0.12}(-5.2 x +700 x^3).dx

W = [\dfrac{-5.2x^2}{2} +700\dfrac{x^4}{4}]_0^{0.12}

now,

W = [\dfrac{-5.2(0.12)^2}{2} +700\dfrac{(0.12)^4}{4}]

     W = -0.001152 J

    W = -1.152 mJ

work done by the spring is equal to W = -1.152 mJ

The colour of star depend on its temperature, why?​
taurus [48]

<em>Another key factor that determines a star's colour is its temperature. As stars become hotter, the overall radiated energy increases, and the peak of the curve changes to shorter wavelengths. To put it another way, when a star heats up, the light it produces moves toward the blue end of the spectrum.</em>

What is described by the terms body-centered cubic and face-centered cubic?
Montano1993 [528]
In physical chemistry, the terms body-centered cubic  (BCC) and face-centered cubic (FCC) refer to the cubic crystal system of a solid. Each solid is made up simple building blocks called lattice units. There are different layouts of a lattice unit.

It is better understood using 3-D models shown in the picture. A BCC unit cell has one lattice point in the center, together with eight corner atoms which represents 1/8 of an atom. Therefore, there are 1+ 8(1/8) = 2 atoms in a BCC unit cell. On the other hand, a FCC unit cell is composed of half of an atom in each of its faces and 1/8 of an atom in its corners. Therefore, there are (1/2)6 + (1/8)8 = 4 atoms in a FCC unit cell.

Two boxes (24 kg and 62 kg) are being pushed across a horizontal frictionless surface, as the drawing shows. The 36-N pushing fo
defon

Answer:

F = 26.04 N

Explanation:

As we know that system of two boxes are moving on frictionless surface

So here if two boxes are considered as a system

then we have

F = (m_1 + m_2) a

m_1 = 24 kg

m_2 = 62 kg

F = 36 N

36 = (24 + 62) a

a = 0.42 m/s^2

Now since we know that both the boxes are moving together so force applied by first box on other box is given as

F = ma

F = (62 \times 0.42)

F = 26.04 N
