A box sliding on a horizontal frictionless surface runs into a fixed spring, compressing it a distance x1 from its relaxed posit

ion while momentarily coming to rest.
1)If the initial speed of the box were doubled, how far x2 would the spring compress?

x2 = ?2 x1
x2 = 2 x1
x2 = 4 x1

Answer:

x₂=2×1

Explanation:

Using work energy theorem, consider the gravitational potential energy at its lowest position of compression to be zero, because change in kinetic energy is 0 then;

mgx-(kx)²/2 =0   where m is mass of object, g is acceleration due to gravity, k is spring contant and x is the compression on the spring.

mgx=(kx)²/2

x=2mg/k----------------compression when velocity of object is Zero

But ΔK.E =-1/2mv²⇒kx²=mv² -----------where v is velocity of the object and K.E is kinetic energy

So if kx²=mv² then

v=x *√(k/m) ----------------where v=0

Doubling v will multiply the x *√(k/m) by 2 making x₂ twice x₁

9. A force is applied horizontally to a 20 kg box on a flat table, if the acceleration of the box is 2 m/s and the
marysya [2.9K]

By Newton's second law,

<em>n</em> + (-<em>w</em>) = 0

<em>p</em> + (-<em>f</em> ) = (20 kg) (2 m/s²)

where <em>n</em> is the magnitude of the normal force, <em>w</em> is the weight of the box, <em>p</em> is the magnitude of the applied force (<em>p</em> for <u>p</u>ush or <u>p</u>ull), and <em>f</em> is the magnitude of the friction force.

Calculate the weight of the box:

<em>w</em> = (20 kg) (9.80 m/s²) = 196 N

Then

<em>n</em> = <em>w</em> = 196 N

and

<em>f</em> = <em>µ</em> <em>n</em> = 0.5 (196 N) = 98 N

Now solve for <em>p</em> :

<em>p</em> - 98 N = 40 N

<em>p</em> = 138 N

What ethical concepts inform your personal code of ethics? How has it changed, if at all, from Unit 1? Explain.
musickatia [10]
A code of ethics is a set of principles and rules used by individuals and organizations to govern their decision making process, as well as to distinguish right from wrong. These codes are often more complex and contextual than simple morality, acknowledging specific situations and providing guidance. Many codes of ethics also specify penalties for violations. Professional and personal codes of ethics ensure that adherents are behaving in a socially acceptable manner. Organizations with an established code of ethics usually have review processes and appeal procedures in place to guard against malicious or self-serving use of the code.

A circular flat coil that has N turns, encloses an area A, and carries a current i has its central axis parallel to a uniform ma
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

Torque on the coil will be ZERO

Explanation:

As we know that the magnetic moment of the closed current carrying coil is always along its axis and it is given as

M = N i A

now we know that magnetic field is also along the axis of the coil so here as we know the equation of torque given as

\tau = \vec M \times \vec B

so we have

\tau = M B sin0

\tau = 0
