An archer pulls a bow string 0.5 m. If the spring constant is 16,000 N/m, what is the energy stored in the bow string?

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 design a new thermometer called the "x" thermometer. on the x scale, the boiling point of water is 130.0 ox and the
Hoochie [10]

You've told us:

-- 130°x  =  212°F

and

-- 10°x  =  32°F

Thank you.  Those are two points on a graph of °x vs °F .  With those, we can figure out the equation of the graph, and easily convert ANY temperature on one scale to the equivalent temperature on the other scale.

-- If our graph is going to have °x on the horizontal axis and °F on the vertical axis, then the two points we know are  (130, 212)  and  (10, 32) .

-- The slope of the line through these two points is

Slope = (32 - 212) / (10 - 130)

Slope = (-180) / (-120)

Slope = 1.5

So far, the equation of the graph is

F = 1.5 x + (F-intercept)

Plug one of the points into this equation.  I'll use the second point  (10, 32) just because the numbers are smaller:

32 = 1.5 (10) + F-intercept

32 = 15 + (F-intercept)

F-intercept = 17

So the equation of the conversion graph is

F = 1.5 x + 17

There you are !  Now you can plug ANY x temperature in there, and the F temperature jumps out at you.

The question is asking what temperature is the same on both scales. This seems tricky, but it's not too bad.  Whatever that temperature is, since it's the same on both scales, you can take the conversion equation, and write the same variable in BOTH places.

We can write [ x = 1.5x + 17 ], solve it for  x, and the solution will be the same temperature in  F  too.

or

We can write [ F = 1.5F + 17 ], solve it for  F, and the solution will be the same temperature in  x  too.

F = 1.5F + 17

Subtract  F  from each side:  0.5F + 17 = 0

Subtract 17 from each side:   0.5F = -17

Multiply each side by 2 :  F = -34

That should be the temperature that's the same number on both scales.

Let's check it out, using our handy-dandy conversion formula (the equation of our graph):

F = 1.5x + 17

Plug in -34 for  x:  

F = 1.5(-34) + 17

F = -51 + 17

<em>F = -34</em>

It works !  -34 on either scale converts to -34 on the other one too. If the temperature ever gets down to -34, and you take both thermometers outside, they'll both read the same number.

<em>yay !</em>

A car is accelerating at a rate of 35 m/s2 and has a resulting velocity increase from 17 m/s to 26 m/s. How long did it take to
harina [27]

Answer:The answer is (60 mph - 0 mph) / 8s = (26.8224 m/s - 0 m/s) / 8s = 3.3528 m/s 2 (meters per second squared) average acceleration. That would be 27,000 miles per hour squared.

A grinding wheel with a moment of inertia of 2 kg-m2 has a 2.50 N-m torque applied to it. What is its final kinetic energy 10 se
grigory [225]
First you do 2.5 n-m / 2 kg-m2
This equals 1.25 rad/s^2

Then multiply rad/s^2 by 10 because of the amount of seconds
This equals 12.5 rad/s^2

Then do this following equation : (1/2)Iwf^2
Do (0.5) 12.5 * 12.5 * 2
This equals 156.25 J (meaning that the answer is C: 156 J)

tatuchka [14]
It's gravitational potential energy at the top will roughly equal it's kinetic energy when it was released (a little is lost to air resistance).  Note this will assume the release point is zero potential energy.  (we are free to define it that way, just letting you know).  Gravitational potential energy is mgh.
mgh=25J
h=25J/(0.5kg x 9.81m/s^2) = 5.097m
So it goes about 5.1 meters above the point where it was released
