A 645 g block is released from rest at height h0 above a vertical spring with spring constant k = 530 N/m and negligible mass. T

he block sticks to the spring and momentarily stops after compressing the spring 14.9 cm. How much work is done (a) by the block on the spring and (b) by the spring on the block? (c) What is the value of h0? (d) If the block were released from height 3h0 above the spring, what would be the maximum compression of the spring?

Answer:

a)5.88J

b)-5.88J

c)0.78m

d)0.24m

Explanation:

a) W by the block on spring is given by

W= \frac{1}{2}kx² = \frac{1}{2}(530)(0.149)² =  5.88 J

b)  Workdone by the spring = - Workdone by the block = -5.88J

c) Taking x = 0 at the contact point we have U top = U bottom

So, mgh_o = \frac{1}{2}kx² - mgx

And, h_o= ( \frac{1}{2}kx² - mgx )/(mg) = [\frac{1}{2} (530)(0.149^2)-(0.645)(9.8)(0.149)]/(0.645x9.8)    

   h_o=   0.78m            

d) Now, if the initial initial height of block is 3h_o

h_o = 3 x 0.78 = 2.34m

then, \frac{1}{2}kx² - mgx - mgh_o =0

 

\frac{1}{2}(530)x²  - [(0.645)(9.8)x] - [(0.645)(9.8)(2.34) = 0

265x² - 6.321x - 14.8 = 0  

a=265

b=-6.321

c=-14.8

By using quadratic eq. formula, we'll have the roots

x= 0.24 or x=-0.225

Considering only positive root:

x= 0.24m (maximum  compression of the spring)

Experiment with the battery voltage set to 15 volts, measure the current in a parallel circuit with 1,2,3, and 4 light bulbs. (I
koban [17]

Answer:

1) current = I

2) Resistance = V/I

3) current = 2I

4) resistance = V/2I

5) current = 3I

6) Resistance = V/3I

7) Current = 4I

8) Resistance = V/4I

Explanation:

When one bulb is connected across the battery then let say the current is given as I

Then resistance is given as

R = \frac{V}{I}

When two bulbs are in parallel with the battery then

total current becomes twice of initial current

so we have

current = 2I

Resistance of the circuit is now

R = \frac{V}{2I}

When three bulbs are in parallel with the battery then

total current becomes three times of initial current

so we have

current = 3I

Resistance of the circuit is now

R = \frac{V}{3I}

When four bulbs are in parallel with the battery then

total current becomes four times of initial current

so we have

current = 4I

Resistance of the circuit is now

R = \frac{V}{4I}

Two large parallel conducting plates carrying opposite charges of equal magnitude are separated by 2.20 cm. Part A If the surfac
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

5308.34 N/C

Explanation:

Given:

Surface density of each plate (σ) = 47.0 nC/m² = 47\times 10^{-9}\ C/m^2

Separation between the plates (d) = 2.20 cm

We know, from Gauss law for a thin sheet of plate that, the electric field at a point near the sheet of surface density 'σ' is given as:

E=\dfrac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_0}

Now, as the plates are oppositely charged, so the electric field in the region between the plates will be in same direction and thus their magnitudes gets added up. Therefore,

E_{between}=E+E=2E=\frac{2\sigma}{2\epsilon_0}=\frac{\sigma}{\epsilon_0}

Now, plug in  47\times 10^{-9}\ C/m^2 for 'σ' and 8.85\times 10^{-12}\ F/m for \epsilon_0 and solve for the electric field. This gives,

E_{between}=\frac{47\times 10^{-9}\ C/m^2}{8.854\times 10^{-12}\ F/m}\\\\E_{between}= 5308.34\ N/C

Therefore, the electric field between the plates has a magnitude of 5308.34 N/C
