Answer:

The greatest extension of the spring is \bf{0.055~m} and the maximum speed of the block is \bf{0.695~m/s}.

Explanation:

Given:

The mass of the block is, m = 0.50~kg

The spring constant of the spring is, k = 80~N/m

The mechanical energy of the block is, E = 0.12~J

When a particle is oscillating in a simple harmonic way, its total energy is given by

E = \dfrac{1}{2}m\omega^{2}a^{2}~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(1)

where \omega is the angular velocity of the mass and a is the amplitude of its motion.

The relation between angular velocity and spring constant is given by

\omega = \sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}}~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(2)

Substituting equation (2) in equation (1), we have

~~~~~~&& E = \dfrac{1}{2}ka^{2}\\&or,& a = \sqrt{\dfrac{2E}{k}}~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(3)

Substituting 0.12~J for E and 80~N/m for k in equation (3), we can write

a &=& \sqrt{\dfrac{2(0.12~J)}{80~N/m}}\\~~~&=& 0.055~m

The relation between the maximum velocity and the amplitude is given by

v_{m} &=& \omega a\\~~~~&=& \sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}}a~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(4)

Substituting 80~N/m for k , 0.50~kg for m and 0.055~m for a in equation (4), we have

v_{m} &=& \sqrt{\dfrac{80~N/m}{0.50~kg}}(0.055~m)\\~~~&=& 0.695~m/s

A resistor with resistance R and an air-gap capacitor of capacitance C are connected in series to a battery (whose strength is "
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

a) Q = C*emf

b)  Reduction in electric field strength and electric potential

c) Initial current through the resistor = emf/R

d) The final charge = K*C*emf

Explanation:

a) The resistors and capacitors are connected in series with the battery

Using Kirchoff's voltage law, sum of all voltages in the circuit is zero

Let V_{R} = Voltage dropped across the Resistor

V_{c} = Voltage dropped across the capacitor

Applying KVL;

emf - V_{R}  - V_{c} = 0\\.........................(1)

Since the connection is in series, the same current flow through the circuit

V_{R} = IR\\Q = CV_{c} \\V_{c} = Q/C

Putting V_{c} and V_{R} into equation (1)

emf - IR - Q/C = 0

At the final charge, the capacitor in fully charged, and current drops to zero due to equilibrium

I = 0A\\emf = Q/C\\Q = C* emf

b) Current starts running through the plate because as the sheet of plastic is inserted between the plates both the electric field intensity and the electric potential reduces. The charge also reduces, then current flows

c) The current through the resistor is the current through the entire circuit ( series connection)

I = I_{o} \exp(\frac{-t}{RC} )\\At time the initial time, t\\t = 0\\ I_{o} = \frac{emf}{R} \\

Putting the values of t and I₀ into the formula for I written above

I = \frac{emf}{R} \exp(0)\\I = \frac{emf}{R}

d) NB: The initial charge on the capacitor = C * emf

The final charge will be:

Q = K* Q_{initial} \\Q_{initial}  = C *emf\\Q_{final}  = KCemf

What is the force on an object that goes from 35 m/s to 85 m/s in 20 seconds and has a mass of 148 kg
Sever21 [200]
F=ma
F = 148×(85-35)÷20
F = 148×(50÷20)
F = 148×2.5

The sound level of one person talking at a certain distance from you is 61 dB. If she is joined by 5 more friends, and all of th
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

Explanation:

For sound level in decibel scale the relation is

dB = 10 log I / I₀ where I₀ = 10⁻¹² and I is intensity of sound whose decibel scale is to be calculated .

Putting the given values

61 = 10 log I / 10⁻¹²

log I / 10⁻¹² = 6.1

I = 10⁻¹² x 10⁶°¹

=10^{-5.9}

intensity of sound of 5 persons

I=5\times 10^{-5.9}

dB=10log\frac{5 X 10^{-5.9}}{10^{-12}}

= 10log 5 x 10⁶°¹

= 10( 6.1 + log 5 )

= 67.98

sound level will be 67.98 dB .
