A mass is connected to a spring on a horizontal frictionless surface. The potential energy of the system is zero when the mass i

s centered on x = 0, its equilibrium position. If the potential energy is 3.0 J when x = 0.050 m, what is the potential energy when the mass is at x = 0.10 m?

Answer:

U = 12 J.

Explanation:

The potential energy in a spring is given by the following formula

$U = \frac{1}{2}kx^2$

where k is the spring force constant and x is the displacement from the equilibrium.

If U = 3 J when x = 0.05 m, then k is

$3 = \frac{1}{2}k(0.05)^2\\k = 2400~N/m$

Using this constant, we can calculate the potential energy at x = 0.10 m:

$U = \frac{1}{2}(2400)(0.1)^2 = 12 ~J$

A vacuum cleaner produces sound with a measured sound level of 75.0 dB. (a) What is the intensity of this sound in W/m2? W/m2 (b

jonny [76]

Answer:

Part a)

$I = 3.16 \times 10^{-5} W/m^2$

Part b)

$P_o = 0.162 Pa$

Explanation:

Part a)

Level of sound = 75 dB

now we know that

$L = 10 Log\frac{I}{I_0}$

here we know that

$I_0 = 10^{-12} W/m^2$

now we have

$75 = 10 Log(\frac{I}{10^{-12}})$

$I = 3.16 \times 10^{-5} W/m^2$

Part b)

Intensity of sound wave is given as

$I = \frac{1}{2}\rho A^2\omega^2 c$

here we know that

$A = \frac{P_o}{Bk}$

so we have

$I = \frac{1}{2}\rho(\frac{P_o}{Bk})^2\omega^2 c$

$I = \frac{1}{2}\rho P_o^2 \frac{c^3}{B^2}$

now we know

$\rho = 1.2 kg/m^3$

$c = 340 m/s$

$B = 1.4 \times 10^5 Pa$

now we have

$3.16 \times 10^{-5} = \frac{1}{2}(1.2)P_o^2\frac{340^3}{(1.4\times 10^5)^2}$

$P_o = 0.162 Pa$

Can an argon atom undergo vibrational motion?

azamat

No. the answer to the question if can an argon atom undergo vibrational motion is no. it can not even spin either. the argon atom, or the argon is a chemical element that is the third most abundant gas in the earth's atmosphere. it is ore than twice as abundance as water vapor. Thank you for this question.

On Mars, where air resistance is negligible, an astronaut drops a rock from a cliff and notes that the rock falls about d meters

dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

$d_1 = 16 d$

Explanation:

As we know that initial speed of the fall of the stone is ZERO

$v_i = 0$

also the acceleration due to gravity on Mars is g

so we have

$d = v_i t + \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

now we have

$d = 0 + \frac{1}{2}g t^2$

now if the same is dropped for 4t seconds of time

then again we will use above equation

$d_1 = 0 + \frac{1}{2}g(4t)^2$

$d_1 = 16(\frac{1}{2}gt^2)$

$d_1 = 16 d$

Bob is pushing a box across the floor at a constant speed of 1.7 m/s, applying a horizontal force whose magnitude is 70 N. Alice

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

a) 70 N, b) b. Each initially applied a force bigger than static friction to get the box moving and accelerating, then when the desired final speed was achieved they reduced the force to make the net force zero.

Explanation:

a) A constant speed means that magnitude of friction force is equal to the magnitude of the external force. The friction force is directly proportional to the normal force, which is equal to the weight of the box. Therefore, the magnitude of the force is 70 N.

b) Alice used initially a greater force to accelerate the box up to needed speed and later reduced the external force to keep speed constant. The right choice is option b.
