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

What area of earth contains semi-solid rock and lava?
ioda
Below the crust is the mantle, a dense, hot layer of semi-solid rock approximately 2,900 km thick. The mantle, which contains more iron, magnesium, and calcium than the crust, is hotter and denser because temperature and pressure inside the Earth increase with depth.

Hope this helped! :)

shepuryov [24]
When a circuit is complete, or closed, electrons can flow from one end of a battery all the way around, through the wires, to the other end of the battery. Along its way, it will carry electrons to electrical objects that are connected to it – like the light bulb – and make them work!

A helium balloon has an internal pressure of 2.5 atm when it occupies 4.5 L. If it was compressed until it had a pressure of 3.3
steposvetlana [31]

Answer: V = 3.4 L

Explanation: Use Boyle's Law to find the new volume. P1V1 = P2V2, derive for V2, then the formula will be V2= P1V1 / P2

V2 = 2.5 atm ( 4.5 L ) / 3.3 atm

= 3.4 L
