Answer:

114.44 J

Explanation:

From Hook's Law,

F = ke................. Equation 1

Where F = Force required to stretch the spring, k = spring constant, e = extension.

make k the subject of the equation

k = F/e.............. Equation 2

Given: F = 10 lb = (10×4.45) N = 44.5 N, e = 4 in = (4×0.254) = 1.016 m.

Substitute into equation 2

k = 44.5/1.016

k = 43.799 N/m

Work done in stretching the 9 in beyond its natural length

W = 1/2ke²................. Equation 3

Given: e = 9 in = (9×0.254) = 2.286 m, k = 43.799 N/m

Substitute into equation 3

W = 1/2×43.799×2.286²

W = 114.44 J

<h2>Answer:</h2>

11.47J

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Hooke's law states that the force or load (F) applied to an elastic material (e.g a spring) is directly proportional to the extension or compression (e) caused by the load. i.e

F ∝ e

F = k e          ---------------(i)

where;

k = proportionality constant called the spring or elastic constant.

<em>From the question,</em>

F = Force = 10 lb

[Remember that 1 lb = 4.45 N]        

=> F = 10 x 4.45 N = 44.5 N            

<em>Also;</em>

e = extension = 4 in

[Remember that 1 in = 0.0254 m]

e = 4 x 0.0254 m = 0.1016 m

<em>Substitute these values into equation (i) to get the spring constant of the spring as follows;</em>

44.5 = k x 0.1016

k = \frac{44.5}{0.1016}

k = 439N/m

<em>Now, lets calculate the work done</em>

The workdone W, in stretching a spring from its natural length to some length beyond the natural length, is given by;

W = \frac{1}{2} x k x e²              --------------------(ii)

Where;

k = the spring's constant = 439N/m                      [as calculated above]

e = extension  = 9 in = 9 x 0.0254m = 0.2286m  [Recall: 1 in  = 0.0254m]

<em>Substitute these values into equation (ii) as follows;</em>

W = \frac{1}{2} x 439 x (0.02286)²

W = 11.47 Nm or 11.47J

Therefore, the work done is 11.47J

The current in a single-loop circuit with one resistance R is 6.3 A. When an additional resistance of 3.4 Ω is inserted in serie
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

10.15Ω

Explanation:

From ohm's law,

V = IR...................... Equation 1

Where V = Voltage, I = current, R = resistance.

Assume the voltage across the resistance = V,

Given: I = 6.3 A

Substitute into equation 1

V = 6.3R.................. Equation 2

When an additional resistance of 3.4 Ω is inserted in series with R,

The voltage remain the same, but the current changes

Total Resistance(Rt) = (R+3.4)Ω, I' = 4.72 A

Also from ohm' law,

V = I'Rt............... Equation 3

Substitute the value of I'  and Rt into equation 3

V = 4.72(R+3.4)............... Equation 5.

Divide equation 2 by equation 5

V/V = 6.3R/4.72(R+3.4)

1 = 1.335R/(R+3.4)

1 = 1.335R/(R+3.4)

R+3.4 = 1.335R

3.4 = 1.335R-R

3.4 = 0.335R

R = 3.4/0.335

R = 10.15Ω

a racing car undergoes a uniform acceleration of 4.00m/s2. if the net force causing the acceleration is 3.00 times 10^3 N, what
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer: 750Kg

Explanation:

Recall that force is the product of the mass M, of an object moving at a uniform acceleration.

i.e Force = Mass x Acceleration

In this case, Mass = ?

Force = 3.00 x 10^3 N = (3.00 x 1000N)

= 3000N

Uniform acceleration = 4.00m/s^2

Force = Mass x Acceleration

3000N = Mass x 4.00m/s^2

Mass = (3000N/4.00m/s^2)

Mass = 750Kg (The SI unit of mass is kilograms)

Thus, the mass of the car is 750Kg
