An ideal spring hangs from the ceiling. A 1.95 kg mass is hung from the spring, stretching the spring a distance d=0.0865 m from

its original length when it reaches equilibrium. The mass is then lifted up a distance L=0.0325 m from the equilibrium position and released. What is the kinetic energy of the mass at the instant it passes back through the equilibrium position?

Answer:

kinetic energy = 0.1168 J

Explanation:

From Hooke's law, we know that ;

F = kx

k = F/x

We are given ;

Mass; m = 1.95 kg

Spring stretch; d = x = 0.0865

So, Force = mg = 1.95 × 9.81

k = 1.95 × 9.81/0.0865 = 221.15 N/m

Now, initial energy is;

E1 = mgL + ½k(x - L)²

Also, final energy; E2 = ½kx² + ½mv²

From conservation of energy, E1 = E2

Thus;

mgL + ½k(x - L)² = ½kx² + ½mv²

Making the kinetic energy ½mv² the subject, we have;

½mv² = mgL + ½k(x - L)² - ½kx²

We are given L=0.0325 m

Plugging other relevant values, we have ;

½mv² = (1.95 × 9.81 × 0.0325) + (½ × 221.15(0.0865 - 0.0325)² - ½(221.15 × 0.0865²)

½mv² = 0.62170875 + 0.3224367 - 0.82734979375

½mv² = 0.1168 J

The reason why there is no energy shortage nor will there ever be is because energy is being preserved and conserved and only changes form. It never gets lost or increased.

A sports car is advertised to be able to stop in a distance of 50.0 m from a speed of 80 km. What is its acceleration and how ma
Flauer [41]

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed of the sports car, u = 80 km/h = 22.22 m/s

Final speed of the runner, v = 0

Distance covered by the sports car, d = 80 km = 80000 m

Let a is the acceleration of the sports car.  It can be calculated using third equation of motion as :

v^2-u^2=2ad

a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2d}

a=\dfrac{0-(22.22)^2}{2\times 80000}

a=-0.00308\ m/s^2

Value of g, g=9.8\ m/s^2

a=\dfrac{-0.00308}{9.8}\ m/s^2

a=(-0.000314)\ g\ m/s^2

Hence, this is required solution.

A 57 g ice cube can slide without friction up and down a 33 ∘ slope. The ice cube is pressed against a spring at the bottom of t

Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

a. Constant gossiping, and talking negative about a student could cause them to feel very very ill about their beliefs, their familly, school, clothes, etc. this  scenario will make the student feel alienated.

b. The club should advise the students that they should not participate in these talks, allow them into their groups, and should try to talk people out of those conversations.

c. The advice will keep several kids pull away from talking negatively about the kid, help stop the ill intended gossip, and hopefully make them feel better.
