Answer

Assuming the mass of the car, m = 43000 kg

initial speed u = 0

vertical distance moved, h = 8.8 m

spring constant k = 5 x 10⁵ N / m

acceleration of gravity = 9.8 m/s²

From law of conservation of energy ,

Gravitational potential energy at starting position =potential energy of the spring at maximum compression

$m g h =\dfrac{1}{2}k x^2$

$x = \sqrt{\dfrac{2mgh}{k}}$

$x = \sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 43000\times 9.8\times 8.8}{5\times 10^5}}$

x = 14.83 m

If the mass of the car is equal to 43000 Kg the spring is compressed to 14.83 m

To solve the exercise it is necessary to take into account the concepts of wavelength as a function of speed.

From the definition we know that the wavelength is described under the equation,

$\lambda = \frac{c}{f}$

Where,

c = Speed of light (vacuum)

f = frequency

Our values are,

$f = 2Hz$

$c = 3*10^8km/s$

Replacing we have,

$\lambda = \frac{c}{f}$

$\lambda = \frac{3*10^8km/s}{2Hz}$

$\lambda = 1.5*10^8m$

<em>Therefore the wavelength of this wave is $1.5*10^{8}m$ </em>

In a jump spike, a volleyball player slams the ball from overhead and toward the opposite floor. Controlling the angle of the sp

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

The ball would have landed 3.31m farther if the downward angle were 6.0° instead.

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we must first start by doing a drawing that will represent the situation. (See picture attached).

We can see in the picture that the least the angle the farther the ball will go. So we need to find the A and B position to determine how farther the second shot would go. Let's start with point A.

So, first we need to determine the components of the velocity of the ball, like this:

$V_{Ax}=V_{A}cos\theta$

$V_{Ax}=(21m/s)cos(-14^{o})$

$V_{Ax}=20.38 m/s$

$V_{Ay}=V_{A}sin\theta$

$V_{Ay}=(21m/s)sin(-14^{o})$

$V_{Ay}=-5.08 m/s$

we pick the positive one, so it takes 0.317s for the ball to hit on point A.

so now we can find the distance from the net to point A with this time. We can find it like this:

$x_{A}=V_{Ax}t$

$x_{A}=(20.38m/s)(0.317s)$

$x_{A}=6.46m$

Once we found the distance between the net and point A, we can similarly find the distance between the net and point B:

$V_{Bx}=20.88 m/s$

$V_{By}=-2.195 m/s$

$y_{Bf}=y_{B0}+V_{0}t-\frac{1}{2}at^{2}$

$0=2.1m+(-2.195m/s)t-\frac{1}{2}(-9.8m/s^{2})t^{2}$

$-4.9t^{2}-2.195t+2.1=0$

$t=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}$

$t=\frac{-(-2.195)\pm\sqrt{(-2.195)^{2}-4(-4.9)(2.1)}}{2(-4.9)}$

t= -0.9159s or t=0.468s

we pick the positive one, so it takes 0.468s for the ball to hit on point B.

so now we can find the distance from the net to point B with this time. We can find it like this:

$x_{B}=V_{Bx}t$

$x_{B}=(20.88m/s)(0.468s)$

$x_{B}=9.77m$

So once we got the two distances we can now find the difference between them:

$x_{B}-x_{A}=9.77m-6.46m=3.31m$

so the ball would have landed 3.31m farther if the downward angle were 6.0° instead.

Robert has just bought a new model rocket, and is trying to measure its flight characteristics. The rocket engine package claims

777dan777 [17]

Answer:

The work done by the drag force is given by 29.96 J

Explanation:

Given :

Thrust force $F = 12.3$ N

Displacement $d = 10.2$ m

Mass of rocket $m = 0.663$ Kg

From work energy theorem,

$W = \Delta K$

$W_{t} - Wd - W_{g} = KE$

Where $W_{t} =$ thrust work $W_{g} =$ gravitational work

$KE = 12.3 \times 10.2 -Wd - 0.663 \times 9.8 \times 10.2$

$KE = 59.2 -Wd$

After cutoff kinetic energy is converted into potential energy,

$KE = Wd' + mg\Delta h$

Put value of KE

$59.2 -Wd = Wd' + 0.663 \times 9.8 \times 4.5$

Work done by drag force is given by,

$Wd'+Wd = 59.2 -29.23$

$= 29.96$ J

Therefore, the work done by the drag force is given by 29.96 J

26. A transformer increases or decreases

uysha [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Single-phase transformers can operate to either increasing or decreasing the voltage applied to the primary winding. When a transformer is used to “increase” the voltage on the secondary winding with respect to the primary, it is called a Step-up transformer
