An ore car of mass 39000 kg starts from rest and rolls downhill on tracks from a mine. At the end of the tracks, 19 m lower vert

ically, is a horizontally situated spring with constant 4.2 × 105 N/m. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . Ignore friction. How much is the spring compressed in stopping the ore car? Answer in units of m.

Answer:

The compression in the spring is 5.88 meters.                

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the car, m = 39000 kg

Height of the car, h = 19 m

Spring constant of the spring, k=4.2\times 10^5\ N/m

We need to find the compression in the spring in stopping the ore car. It can be done by balancing loss in gravitational potential energy and the increase in elastic energy. So,

mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2

x is the compression in spring

x=\sqrt{\dfrac{2mgh}{k}} \\\\x=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 39000\times 19\times 9.8}{4.2\times 10^5}} \\\\x=5.88\ m

So, the compression in the spring is 5.88 meters.

Telephone signals are often transmitted over long distances by microwaves. What is the frequency of microwave radiation with a w
amm1812

Answer:

1) f= 8.6 GHz

2) t= 0.2 ms

Explanation:

1)

  • Since microwaves are electromagnetic waves, they move at the same speed as the light in vacuum, i.e. 3*10⁸ m/s.
  • There exists a fixed relationship between the frequency (f) , the wavelength (λ) and the propagation speed in any wave, as follows:

        v = \lambda * f (1)

  • Replacing by the givens, and solving for f, we get:

       f =\frac{c}{\lambda} =\frac{3e8m/s}{0.035m} = 8.57e9 Hz (2)

⇒     f = 8.6 Ghz (with two significative figures)

2)

  • Assuming that the microwaves travel at a constant speed in a straight line (behaving like rays) , we can apply the definition of average velocity, as follows:

       v =\frac{d}{t} (3)

       where v= c= speed of light in vacuum = 3*10⁸ m/s

       d= distance between mountaintops = 52 km = 52*10³ m

  • Solving for t, we get:

       t = \frac{d}{c} = \frac{52e3m}{3e8m/s} = 17.3e-5 sec = 0.173e-3 sec = 0.173 ms (4)

       ⇒  t = 0.2 ms (with two significative figures)

Julie's psychologist helped her get over her fear of spiders. Which goal of psychology has the phycologist met ?
lord [1]
<span>The four goals of psychology are: describe observed phenomena, explain them, predict what may occur as a result of them and control behaviour as a result. Julie’s psychologist has helped Julie control her behaviour - her fear response to spiders - so they have met the ‘control behaviour’ goal of psychology.</span>
