A distance of 10.8 cm beyond its natural length will a force of 30 N keep this spring stretched

<u>Explanation:</u>

Work, W = 2 J

Initial distance, x_{1} = 30 cm

Final distance,  = 42 cm

Force, F = 30 N

Stretched length, x = ?

We know,

W = 1/2 kΔx²

Δx = 42-30 cm = 12 cm = 0.12 m

2 J = 1/2 k X (0.12)²

k = 277.77 N/m

According to Hooke's law,

F = kx

30 N = 277.77 X x

x = 0.108 m

x = 10.8  cm

A distance of 10.8 cm beyond its natural length will a force of 30 N keep this spring stretched.

A slender rod is 90.0 cm long and has mass 0.120 kg. A small 0.0200 kg sphere is welded to one end of the rod, and a small 0.070
likoan [24]

Given Information:

length of slender rod = L = 90 cm = 0.90 m

mass of slender rod = m = 0.120 kg

mass of sphere welded to one end = m₁ = 0.0200 kg

mass of sphere welded to another end = m₂ = 0.0700 kg (typing error in the question it must be 0.0500 kg as given at the end of the question)

Required Information:

Linear speed of the 0.0500 kg sphere = v = ?

Answer:

Linear speed of the 0.0500 kg sphere = 1.55 m/s

Explanation:

The velocity of the sphere can by calculated using

ΔKE = ½Iω²

Where I is the moment of inertia of the whole setup ω is the speed and ΔKE is the change in kinetic energy

The moment of inertia of a rigid rod about center is given by

I = (1/12)mL²

The moment of inertia due to m₁ and m₂ is

I = (m₁+m₂)(L/2)²

L/2 means that the spheres are welded at both ends of slender rod whose length is L.

The overall moment of inertia becomes

I = (1/12)mL² + (m₁+m₂)(L/2)²

I = (1/12)0.120*(0.90)² + (0.0200+0.0500)(0.90/2)²

I = 0.0081 + 0.01417

I = 0.02227 kg.m²

The change in the potential energy is given by

ΔPE = m₁gh₁ + m₂gh₂

Where h₁ and h₂ are half of the length of slender rod

L/2 = 0.90/2 = 0.45 m

ΔPE = 0.0200*9.8*0.45 + 0.0500*9.8*-0.45

The negative sign is due to the fact that that m₂ is heavy and it would fall and the other sphere m₁ is lighter and it would will rise.

ΔPE = -0.1323 J

This potential energy is then converted into kinetic energy therefore,

ΔKE = ½Iω²

0.1323 = ½(0.02227)ω²

ω² = (2*0.1323)/0.02227

ω = √(2*0.1323)/0.02227

ω = 3.45 rad/s

The linear speed is

v = (L/2)ω

v = (0.90/2)*3.45

v = 1.55 m/s

Therefore, the linear speed of the 0.0500 kg sphere as its passes through its lowest point is 1.55 m/s.

A trolley going down an inclined plane has an acceleration of 2cm/s^2 What will be its velocity
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

V_{f} = 6 cm/s

Explanation:

<u><em>Given:</em></u>

Acceleration = a = 2 cm/s²

Time = t = 3s

Initial Velocity = V_{i} = 0 cm/s

<u><em>Required:</em></u>

Velocity = V_{f} = ?

<u><em>Formula:</em></u>

a = \frac{V_{f}-V_{i}}{t}

<u><em>Solution:</em></u>

2 = \frac{V_{f}-0}{3}

=> V_{f} = 2*3

=> V_{f} = 6 cm/s

Iron has a density of 7.9 g/cm3. What is the mass of a cube of iron with the length of one side equal to 55.0 mm?
saw5 [17]
<span>Density is a value for mass, such as kg, divided by a value for volume, such as m3. Density is a physical property of a substance that represents the mass of that substance per unit volume. To find the mass of the substance, we need to multiply the volume occupied by the substance.

Mass = Density x Volume
Mass = 7.9 g/cm^3 (5.5 cm)^3
Mass = 43.45 g </span>

An airplane is flying 340 km/hr at 12o east of north. the wind is blowing 40 km/hr at 34o south of east. what is the plane's act
seropon [69]
Define an x-y coordinate system such that
The positive x-axis = the eastern direction, with unit vector  \hat{i}.
The positive y-axis = the northern direction, with unit vector \hat{j}.

The airplane flies at 340 km/h at 12° east of north. Its velocity vector is
\vec{v}_{1} = 340(sin(15^{o})\hat{i} + cos(15^{o})\hat{j} ) = 88\hat{i} + 328.4\hat{j}

The wind blows at 40 km/h in the direction 34° south of east. Its velocity vector is
\vec{v}_{2} =40(cos(34^{o})\hat{i} - sin(24^{o})]\hat{j}) = 33.1615\hat{i} -22.3677\hat{j})

The plane's actual velocity is the vector sum of the two velocities. It is
\vec{v}=\vec{v}_{1}+\vec{v}_{2} = 121.1615\hat{i}+306.0473\hat{j}

The magnitude of the actual velocity is
v = √(121.1615² + 306.0473²) = 329.158 km/h

The angle that the velocity makes north of east is
tan⁻¹ (306.04733/121.1615) = 21.6°

Answer:
The actual velocity is 329.2 km/h at 21.6° north of east.
