A light horizontal spring has a spring constant of 138 N/m. A 3.35 kg block is pressed against one end of the spring, compressin

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

$U_k = 0.113$

Explanation:

using the law of the conservation of energy:

$E_i -E_f=W_f$

$\frac{1}{2}Kx^2=NU_kd$

where K is the spring constant, x is the spring compression, N is the normal force of the block, $U_k$ is the coefficiet of kinetic friction and d is the distance.

Also, by laws of newton, N is calculated by:

N = mg

N = 3.35 kg * 9.81 m/s

N = 32.8635

So, Replacing values on the first equation, we get:

$\frac{1}{2}(138)(0.123)^2= (32.8635)U_k(0.281m)$

solving for $U_k$ :

$U_k = 0.113$

A 0.106-A current is charging a capacitor that has square plates 6.00 cm on each side. The plate separation is 4.00 mm. (a) Find

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

The time rate of change of flux is $1.34 \times 10^{10}$ $\frac{V}{s}$

Explanation:

Given :

Current $I = 0.106$ A

Area of plate $A = 36 \times 10^{-4}$ $m^{2}$

Plate separation $d = 4 \times 10^{-3}$ m

(A)

First find the capacitance of capacitor,

$C = \frac{\epsilon _{o} A }{d}$

Where $\epsilon _{o} = 8.85 \times 10^{-12}$

$C = \frac{8.85 \times 10^{-12 } \times 36 \times 10^{-4} }{4 \times 10^{-3} }$

$C = 7.9 \times 10^{-12}$ F

But $C = \frac{Q}{V}$

Where $Q = It$

$C = \frac{It}{V}$

$V = \frac{It}{C}$

Now differentiate above equation wrt. time,

$\frac{dV}{dt} = \frac{I}{C}$

$= \frac{0.106}{7.9 \times 10^{-12} }$

$= 1.34 \times 10^{10}$ $\frac{V}{s}$

Therefore, the time rate of change of flux is $1.34 \times 10^{10}$ $\frac{V}{s}$

Two fans are watching a baseball game from different positions. One fan is located directly behind home plate, 18.3 m from the b

EleoNora [17]

Answer:

0.317 s

Explanation:

distance of fan A = 18.3 m

distance of fan B = 127 m

speed of sound (s) = 343 m/s

What is the time difference between hearing the sound at the two locations?

time (T) = distance / speed

time for sound to reach fan A = 18.3 / 343 = 0.053 s

time it takes for sound to reach fan B = 127 / 343 = 0.370 s
time difference = 0.370 - 0.053 = 0.317 s

The position-time equation for a cheetah chasing an antelope is:

pochemuha

Answer:

x = 1.6 + 1.7 t^2 omitting signs

a) at t = 0 x = 1.6 m

b) V = d x / d t = 3.4 t

at t = 0 V = 0

c) A = d^2 x / d t^2 = 3.4 (at t = 0 A = 3.4 m/s^2)

d) x = 1.6 + 1.7 * (4.4)^2 = 34.5 (position at 4.4 sec = 34.5 m)
