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

What part of the electromagnetic spectrum can be seen by humans
Amanda [17]

Answer:

Visible light

Explanation:

Electromagnetic spectrum is the classification of the electromagnetic waves according to their frequency/wavelength. In order from the shortest to the longest wavelength, we have

Gamma rays

X-rays

Ultraviolet

Visible light

Infrared

Microwaves

Radio waves

All these waves are invisible to human eye, except for the part referred as 'visible light'. The electromagnetic waves of this part of the spectrum are visible to human eye, and they appear as a different color depending on their wavelength. In particular, we have:

Violet: 380-450 nm

Blue: 450-495 nm

Green: 495-570 nm

Yellow: 570-590 nm

Orange: 590-620 nm

Red: 620-750 nm

Can someone plz help me with this
Elena-2011 [213]
1st Law: Objects that are in motion tend to stay in motion. This motion can change with external forces. 

<span>If you were to stop pedaling on bike while in motion, you will notice that you will keep moving. This is because a moving body (you) has inertia. If there wasn't any friction between the tires and the ground, between the axles and wheel, any air resistance, or any other force that acts against you, then you could be coasting indefinitely! </span>

<span>2nd Law: Force is equal to the mass times acceleration. </span>

<span>When you pedal, you are applying a force onto the pedal. This force is then translated through tension to apply torque onto the wheel. Turning the wheel will make you accelerate in the lateral direction. </span>

<span>3rd Law: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. </span>

<span>Without this, you could pedal and pedal, but you will be not go anywhere! It is essentially the friction between the tires and the ground that propels you forward. If the ground did not apply to the tire the same amount of force that the tire was applying to the ground, the tire would not "catch" and no friction would be applied. And if there was no third law, the weight of you and your bike would "sink" into the ground because the ground would not be applying a normal force back onto you.

hope this helps and if you have any questions just hmu and ask :)</span>

A capacitor consists of two metal surfaces separated by an insulating layer. A new capacitor has no charge on either of its surf
mihalych1998 [28]
<h2>Answer:</h2><h3>(A) the positively charged surface increases and the energy stored in the capacitor increases.</h3>

When charging a capacitor transferring charge from one surface to the other, the first surface becomes negatively charged while the second surface becomes positively charged. As you transfer the charge, the voltage of the positively charged surface increases and the energy stored in the capacitor also increases. We can solve this by the definition of <em>capacitance</em><em> </em>that is <em>a  measure of the ability of a capacitor  to store energy. </em>For any capacitor, the capacitance is  a constant defined as:

C=\frac{Q}{V_{ab}}

To maintain C constant, if Q increases V also increases.

On the other hand, the potential energy U can be expressed as:

U=\frac{Q^{2}}{2C}

In conclusion, as Q increases the potential energy also increases.
