A spring stores potential energy U0 when it is compressed a distance x0 from its uncompressed length.

Physics
1 answer:
beks73 [17]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Using Hooke's law

Elastic potential energy = 1/2 K x²

K is elastic constant of the spring

x is the extension of the spring

a) The elastic potential energy when the spring is compressed twice as much  Uel = 1/2 k (2x₀) ² =  4 (1/2 kx₀²)= 4 U₀

b) when is compressed half as much Uel = 1/2 k \frac{x0}{4} ^{2} = \frac{1}{4} ( U₀)

c) make x₀ subject of the formula in the equation for elastic potential

      x₀ =\sqrt{\frac{2U0}{K}  }

x, the amount it will compressed to tore twice as much energy = \sqrt{\frac{2 (2U0)}{K} }

x = √2 x₀

d) x₁, the new length it must be compressed to store half as much energy = \sqrt{\frac{2 (\frac{1}{2})U0 }{K} }

x₁ = \sqrt{\frac{1}{2} } x₀

Two parallel metal plates are at a distance of 8.00 m apart.The electric field between the plates is uniform directed towards th
yuradex [85]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Formula E=F/C also E=V/d

In this case use the second formula; E=V/d

Data given; E=4N/C d=8m

So v=E X d

     V=4x8=32V

k.e=eV= 2X32=64eV

A girl rolls a ball up an incline and allows it to re- turn to her. For the angle and ball involved, the acceleration of the bal
zalisa [80]

Answer:

3.28 m

3.28 s

Explanation:

We can adopt a system of reference with an axis along the incline, the origin being at the position of the girl and the positive X axis going up slope.

Then we know that the ball is subject to a constant acceleration of 0.25*g (2.45 m/s^2) pointing down slope. Since the acceleration is constant we can use the equation for constant acceleration:

X(t) = X0 + V0 * t + 1/2 * a * t^2

X0 = 0

V0 = 4 m/s

a = -2.45 m/s^2 (because the acceleration is down slope)

Then:

X(t) = 4*t - 1.22*t^2

And the equation for speed is:

V(t) = V0 + a * t

V(t) = 4 - 2.45 * t

If we equate this to zero we can find the moment where it stops and begins rolling down, that will be the highest point:

0 = 4 - 2.45 * t

4 = 2.45 * t

t = 1.63 s

Replacing that time on the position equation:

X(1.63) = 4 * 1.63 - 1.22 * 1.63^2 = 3.28 m

To find the time it will take to return we equate the position equation to zero:

0 = 4 * t - 1.22 * t^2

Since this is a quadratic equation it will have to answers, one will be the moment the ball was released (t = 0), the other will eb the moment when it returns:

0 = t * (4 - 1.22*t)

t1 = 0

0 = 4 - 1.22*t2

1.22 * t2 = 4

t2 = 3.28 s

Evaluate A car company wants to build a wind-powered car that converts 100 percent of the mechanical energy in the wind to the m
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

There's one or two reasons, depending on what is meant by "wind-powered car".

The first reason is that it's impossible for any transfer of energy to be 100% efficient.  There will always be frictional losses.

Secondly, if the company means that they want to attach a wind turbine to the car so that the car is powered by the same wind that it generates, that violates the conservation of energy.
