What happens when you push a spring? How is this different than pulling it? (Hooke’s Law)

2 answers:

7 0

A spring is an object that can be deformed by a force and then return to its original shape after the force is removed.Springs come in a huge variety of different forms, but the simple metal coil spring is probably the most familiar. Springs are an essential part of almost all moderately complex mechanical devices; from ball-point pens to racing car engines.

When you push a spring you are putting force on it, or rather forcing the spring onto its self. This is different than pulling the spring because when you push it and let go it will spring but if you pull it its would not move as far as it would if you push it. Pulling the spring would most likely deform the spring will pushing it would cause it to spring back into place.

<u>Hooke's law states that the force that extends or compresses a spring by some distance scales linearly with respect to that distance.</u>

Can you please tell me what this is

Anna [14]

Answer:

200000 J

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass (m) of roller coaster = 1000 Kg

Velocity (v) of roller coaster = 20 m/s

Kinetic energy (KE) =?

Kinetic energy is simply defined as the energy possess by an object in motion. Mathematically, it can be expressed as:

KE = ½mv²

Where

KE => is the kinetic energy.

m =>is the mass of the object

V => it the velocity of the object.

With the above formula, we can obtain the kinetic energy of the roller coaster as follow:

Mass (m) of roller coaster = 1000 Kg

Velocity (v) of roller coaster = 20 m/s

Kinetic energy (KE) =?

KE = ½mv²

KE = ½ × 1000 × 20²

KE = 500 × 400

KE = 200000 J

Therefore, the kinetic energy of the roller coaster is 200000 J.

What is the de Broglie wavelength of an object with a mass of 2.50 kg moving at a speed of 2.70 m/s? (Useful constant: h = 6.63×

xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

9.82 × $10^{-35}$ Hz

Explanation:

De Broglie equation is used to determine the wavelength of a particle (e.g electron) in motion. It is given as:

λ = $\frac{h}{mv}$

where: λ is the required wavelength of the moving electron, h is the Planck's constant, m is the mass of the particle, v is its speed.

Given that: h = 6.63 × $10^{-34}$ Js, m = 2.50 kg, v = 2.70 m/s, the wavelength, λ, can be determined as follows;

λ = $\frac{h}{mv}$

= $\frac{6.63*10^{-34} }{2.5*2.7}$

= $\frac{6.63 * 10^{-34} }{6.75}$

= 9.8222 × $10^{-35}$

The wavelength of the object is 9.82 × $10^{-35}$ Hz.

A burglar attempts to drag a 108 kg metal safe across a polished wood floor Assume that the coefficient of static friction is 0.

V125BC [204]

Answer:

2.00 m/s²

Explanation:

Given

The Mass of the metal safe, M = 108kg

Pushing force applied by the burglar, F = 534 N

Co-efficient of kinetic friction, $\mu_k$ = 0.3

Now,

The force against the kinetic friction is given as:

$f = \mu_k N = u_k Mg$

Where,

N = Normal reaction

g= acceleration due to the gravity

Substituting the values in the above equation, we get

$f = 0.3\times108\times9.8$

$f = 317.52N$

Now, the net force on to the metal safe is

$F_{Net}= F-f$

Substituting the values in the equation we get

$F_{Net}= 534N-317.52N$

$F_{Net}= 216.48$

also,

$F_{Net}= M\times$ acceleration of the safe

Therefore, the acceleration of the metal safe will be

acceleration of the safe= $\frac{F_{Net}}{M}$

acceleration of the safe= $\frac{216.48}{108}$

acceleration of the safe= $2.00 m/s^2$

Hence, the acceleration of the metal safe will be 2.00 m/s²

7. How much work is done in moving a charge of 10 micro coulombs 1 meter along an equipotential of 10 volts?

Neko [114]

It takes work to push charge through a change of potential.
There's no change of potential along an equipotential path,
so that path doesn't require any work.
