A) the unstretched length of each elastic rope is 24m. The rope obeys hookes law. The vertical distance between P and Q is 35m.

Physics
1 answer:
solong [7]3 years ago
6 0

Explanation:

a) The rope obeys Hooke's law, so:

F = k Δx

The elastic energy in the rope is:

EE = ½ k Δx²

Or, in terms of F:

EE = ½ F Δx

Use trigonometry to find the stretched length.

cos 20° = 35 / x

x =  37.25

So the displacement is:

Δx = 37.25 − 24

Δx = 13.25

The elastic energy per rope is:

EE = ½ (3.7×10⁴ N) (13.25 m)

EE = 245,000 J

There's two ropes, so the total energy is:

2EE = 490,000 J

Rounded to one significant figure, the elastic energy is 5×10⁵ J.

b) The elastic energy in the ropes is converted to gravitational energy.

EE = PE = mgh

5×10⁵ J = (1.2×10³ kg) (9.8 m/s²) h

h = 42 m

Rounded to one significant figure, the height is 40 m.  So the claim is not justified.

We have two solenoids: solenoid 2 has twice the diameter, half the length, and twice as many turns as solenoid 1. The current in
leva [86]

Answer:

the field at the center of solenoid 2 is 12 times the field at the center of solenoid 1.

Explanation:

Recall that the field inside a solenoid of length L, N turns, and a circulating current I, is given by the formula:

B=\mu_0\, \frac{N}{L} I

Then, if we assign the subindex "1" to the quantities that define the magnetic field (B_1) inside solenoid 1, we have:

B_1=\mu_0\, \frac{N_1}{L_1} I_1

notice that there is no dependence on the diameter of the solenoid for this formula.

Now, if we write a similar formula for solenoid 2, given that it has :

1) half the length of solenoid 1 . Then L_2=L_1/2

2) twice as many turns as solenoid 1. Then N_2=2\,N_1

3) three times the current of solenoid 1. Then I_2=3\,I_1

we obtain:

B_2=\mu_0\, \frac{N_2}{L_2} I_2\\B_2=\mu_0\, \frac{2\,N_1}{L_1/2} 3\,I_1\\B_2=\mu_0\, 12\,\frac{N_1}{L_1} I_1\\B_2=12\,B_1

A protein molecule in an electrophoresis gel has a negative charge. The exact charge depends on the pH of the solution, but 30 e
Reika [66]

Answer:

7.401 * 10^(-15) N

Explanation:

30 electrons will have a charge:

30 * -1.6022 * 10^(-19) C

= - 4.806 * 10^(-18) C

The relationship between electric field and electric force is:

E = F/q

This means that force, F, is

|F| = |E|*|q|

|F| = |1540| * |-4.806 * 10^(-18)|

|F| = |-7401.24 * 10^(-18)|

|F| = 7.401 * 10^(-15) N

When a positive charge moves in the direction of the electric field, what happens to the electrical potential energy associated
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

B it decreases

Explanation:

the movement of a positive test charge in the direction of an electric field would be like a mass falling downward within Earth's gravitational field. Both movements would be like going with nature and would occur without the need of work by an external force. This motion would result in the loss of potential energy
