2000J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Extension = 0.5m

Spring constant = 16000N/m

Unknown:

Energy stored in the bow string = ?

Solution:

The energy stored in a bow string is an elastic potential energy.

It can be calculated using the expression below;

     Elastic energy = \frac{1}{2} K e²

Where k is the spring constant

            e is the extension

Input the parameters;

  Elastic energy = \frac{1}{2} K e²

                          =\frac{1}{2} x 16000 x 0.5²

                          = 2000J

Suppose you push a hockey puck of mass m across frictionless ice for a time \Delta t, starting from rest, giving thepuck speed v
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

1. t_2 = 2t_1

2. t_2 = t_1\sqrt{2}

Explanation:

1. According to Newton's law of motion, the puck motion is affected by the acceleration, which is generated by the push force F.

In Newton's 2nd law: F = ma

where m is the mass of the object and a is the resulted acceleration. So in the 2nd experiment, if we double the mass, a would be reduced by half.

a_1 = 2a_2

Since the puck start from rest, in the 1st experiment, to achieve speed of v it would take t time

t = v / a_1

Now that acceleration is halved:

t = \frac{v}{2a_2}

\frac{v}{a_2} = 2t

You would need to push for twice amount of time t_2 = 2t_1

2. The distance traveled by the puck is as the following equation:

d = at^2

So if the acceleration is halved while maintaining the same d:

\frac{d_1}{d_2} = \frac{a_1t_1^2/2}{a_2t_2^2/2}

As d_1 = d_2, then d_1/d_2 = 1. Also a_1 = 2a_2

1 = \frac{2a_2t_1^2}{a_2t_2^2}

t_2^2 = 2t_1^2

t_2 = t_1\sqrt{2}\approx 1.14t_1

So t increased by 1.14

An ice-making machine inside a refrigerator operates in a Carnot cycle. It takes heat from liquid water at 0.0 ∘C and rejects he
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

2.36 x 10^6 J

Explanation:

Tc = 0°C = 273 K

TH = 22.5°C = 295.5 K

Qc = heat used to melt the ice

mass of ice, m = 85.7 Kg

Latent heat of fusion, L = 3.34 x 10^5 J/kg

Let Energy supplied is E which is equal to the work done

Qc = m x L = 85.7 x 3.34 x 10^5 =  286.24 x 10^5 J

Use the Carnot's equation

\frac{Q_{H}}{Q_{c}}=\frac{T_{H}}{T_{c}}

Q_{H}=286.24\times 10^{5}\times \frac{295.5}{273}

QH = 309.8 x 10^5 J

W = QH - Qc

W = (309.8 - 286.24) x 10^5

W = 23.56 x 10^5 J

W = 2.36 x 10^6 J

Thus, the energy supplied is 2.36 x 10^6 J.

The pupil of the human eye can vary in diameter from 2.00 mm in bright light to 8.00 mm in dim light. The eye has a focal length
Zarrin [17]

The indicated data are of clear understanding for the development of Airy's theory. In optics this phenomenon is described as an optical phenomenon in which The Light, due to its undulatory nature, tends to diffract when it passes through a circular opening.

The formula used for the radius of the Airy disk is given by,

y_r=1.22\frac{\lambda f}{d}

Where,

y_r = Range of the radius

\lambda = wavelength

f= focal length

Our values are given by,

State 1:

d=2.00mm = 2*10^{-3}m

f= 25mm = 25*10^{-3}m

\lambda = 750nm = 750*10^{-9}m

State 2:

d=8.00mm = 8*10^{-3}m

f= 25mm = 25*10^{-3}m

\lambda = 390nm = 390*10^{-9}

Replacing in the first equation we have:

y_{r1} = 1.22\frac{(750*10^{-9})(25*10^{-3})}{2*10^{-3}}

y_{r1}= 11.4\mu m

And also for,

y_{r2} =1.22\frac{(390*10^{-9})(25*10^{-3})}{8*10^{-3}}

y_{r2} = 1.49\mu m

Therefor, the airy disk radius ranges from 1.49\mu m to 11.4\mu m

When two or more different capacitors are connected in series across a potential source, which of the following statement must b
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

C. Each capacitor carries the same amount of charge.

Explanation:

When two or more different capacitors are connected in series across a potential source, each capacitor carries the same amount of charge.

In a series connected capacitor, sane amount of charge flows through the capacitors while different potential difference is passed across them.

The capacitors have the same charge as the charge flowing out directly from the potential source called emf since the emf is the driving force of charge in a circuit.
