A spring with k = 500 N/m stores 704 J. How far is it extended from the equilibrium position

kaheart [24]

Given that:

k = 500 n/m,

work (W) = 704 J

spring extension (x) = ?

we know that,

Work = (1/2) k x²

704 = (1/2) × 500 × x²

x = 1.67 m

A spring stretched for 1.67 m distance.

How to change V=72km/hr to m/s

lapo4ka [179]

Multiply by (1000 meters / 1 km).
Then multiply by (1 hour / 3600 seconds).

Both of those fractions are equal to ' 1 ', because the top
and bottom numbers are equal, so the multiplications
won't change the VALUE of the 72 km/hr. They'll only
change the units.

(72 km/hour) · (1000 meters / 1 km) · (1 hour / 3600 seconds)

= (72 · 1000 / 3600) (km·meter·hour / hour·km·second)

= 20 meter/second

Virty [35]

Complete Question

A ball having mass 2 kg is connected by a string of length 2 m to a pivot point and held in place in a vertical position. A constant wind force of magnitude 13.2 N blows from left to right. Pivot Pivot F F (a) (b) H m m L L If the mass is released from the vertical position, what maximum height above its initial position will it attain? Assume that the string does not break in the process. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . Answer in units of m.What will be the equilibrium height of the mass?

Answer:

$H_m=1.65m$

$H_E=1.16307m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Mass of ball $M=2kg$

Length of string $L= 2m$

Wind force $F=13.2N$

Generally the equation for $\angle \theta$ is mathematically given as

$tan\theta=\frac{F}{mg}$

$\theta=tan^-^1\frac{F}{mg}$

$\theta=tan^-^1\frac{13.2}{2*2}$

$\theta=73.14\textdegree$

Max angle = $2*\theta= 2*73.14=>146.28\textdegree$

Generally the equation for max Height $H_m$ is mathematically given as

$H_m=L(1-cos146.28)$

$H_m=0.9(1+0.8318)$

$H_m=1.65m$

Generally the equation for Equilibrium Height $H_E$ is mathematically given as

$H_E=L(1-cos73.14)$

$H_E=0.9(1+0.2923)$

$H_E=1.16307m$

When a light bulb is connected to a 4.5 V battery, a current of 0.16 A passes through the bulb filament. What is the resistance

larisa [96]

Answer:

R = 28.125 ohms

Explanation:

Given that,

The voltage of a bulb, V = 4.5 V

Current, I = 0.16 A

We need to find the resistance of the filament. Using Ohm's law,

V = IR

Where

R is the resistance of the filament

So,

$R=\dfrac{V}{I}\\\\R=\dfrac{4.5}{0.16}\\\\R=28.125\ \Omega$

So, the resistance of the filament is equal to 28.125 ohms.

What is kinematics ?<br>explain ~

hodyreva [135]

Answer:

the branch of mechanics concerned with the motion of objects without reference to the forces which cause the motion.

and/or

Kinematics is the study of motion of a system of bodies without directly considering the forces or potential fields affecting the motion. In other words, kinematics examines how the momentum and energy are shared among interacting bodies.
