Answer:

The spring constant of the spring is k=4.9\times 10^3\ N/m.

Explanation:

Mass of the rock is 2.5 kg

It is dropped off a 32 m cliff and hits a spring, compressing it 57 cm. It is required to find the spring constant.

When it falls form a height, it possess potential energy and when it hits a spring, the potential energy gets converted to elastic potential energy such that :

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

Here, k is spring constant

k=\dfrac{2mgh}{x^2}\\\\k=\frac{2\cdot2.5\cdot10\cdot32}{0.57^{2}}\\\\k=4924.59\ N/m

k=4.9\times 10^3\ N/m

So, the spring constant of the spring is k=4.9\times 10^3\ N/m.

What is the mass moment of inertia of a 20kg sphere with a radius of 0.2m about a point on the sphere's perimeter
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

I = M R^2 is the moment of inertia about a point that is a distance R from the center of mass (uniform distributed mass).

The moment  of inertia about the center of a sphere is 2 / 5 M R^2.

By the parallel axis theorem the moment of inertia about a point on the rim of the sphere is  I = 2/5 M R^2 + M R^2 = 7/5 M R^2

I = 7/5 * 20 kg * .2^2 m = 1.12 kg m^2

In your own words, explain the effects of time dilation.
Natalka [10]
So we want to explain the effects of time dilation. In theory of relativity time dilation is the difference of elapsed time between two events when measured by two observers who are moving relatively to each other. A clock of an observer that is standing still in an inertial frame of reference is going to measure a different time of an event than the clock of an observer that is moving with some velocity with respect to the inertial reference frame that is not moving. In a nutshell, the moving clock is ticking slower than the clock that is standing still.

The energy levels of a particular quantum object are -11.7 eV, -4.2 eV, and -3.3 eV. If a collection of these objects is bombard
gogolik [260]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply an energy balance equation in each of the states to assess what their respective relationship is.

By definition the energy balance is simply given by the change between the two states:

|\Delta E_{ij}| = |E_i-E_j|

Our states are given by

E_1 = -11.7eV

E_2 = -4.2eV

E_3 = -3.3eV

In this way the energy balance for the states would be given by,

|\Delta E_{12}| = |E_1-E_2|\\|\Delta E_{12}| = |-11.7-(-4.2)|\\|\Delta E_{12}| = 7.5eV\\

|\Delta E_{13}| = |E_1-E_3|\\|\Delta E_{13}| = |-11.7-(-3.3)|\\|\Delta E_{13}| = 8.4eV

|\Delta E_{23}| = |E_2-E_3|\\|\Delta E_{23}| = |-4.2-(-3.3)|\\|\Delta E_{23}| = 0.9eV

Therefore the states of energy would be

Lowest : 0.9eV

Middle :7.5eV

Highest: 8.4eV

1. What could be the energy of a flying aeroplane?<br><br> 2. Is work the same as power?
Doss [256]

Explanation:

The total energy of an aircraft flying in the atmosphere can be calculated using equation 1. [2]

E = ½ m v2 + mgh

A Boeing 737-300 has a maximum takeoff weight of 5.65 × 104 kg, a cruise altitude of h = 10,195 m, and cruise speed of 221 m/sec. Inserting these numbers into the above equation, we obtain 7.03 GJ for the energy at cruise conditions. [3] However, the engines mounted onto the wings of the plane are required to provide additional energy per time, power, in order to keep the aircraft flying at a constant altitude and speed

Work is the energy needed to apply a force to move an object a particular distance, where force is parallel to the displacement. Power is the rate at which that work is done.
