You pull on a spring whose spring constant is 22 N/m, and stretch it from its equilibrium length of 0.3 m to a length of 0.7 m.

Estimate the work done by dividing the stretching process into two stages and using the average force you exert to calculate work done during each stage.

Answer:

W= 4.4 J

Explanation

Elastic potential energy theory

If we have a spring of constant K to which a force F that produces a Δx deformation is applied, we apply Hooke's law:

F=K*x  Formula (1): The force F applied to the spring is proportional to the deformation x of the spring.

As the force is variable to calculate the work we define an average force

F_{a} =\frac{F_{f}+F_{i}  }{2}  Formula (2)

Ff: final force

Fi: initial force

The work done on the spring is :

W = Fa*Δx

Fa : average force

Δx :  displacement

W = F_{a} (x_{f} -x_{i} )   :Formula (3)

x_{f} :  final deformation

x_{i}  :initial deformation

Problem development

We calculate Ff and Fi , applying formula (1) :

F_{f} = K*x_{f} =22\frac{N}{m} *0.7m =15.4N

F_{i} = K*x_{i} =22\frac{N}{m} *0.3m =6.6N

We calculate average force applying formula (2):

F_{a} =\frac{15.4N+6.2N}{2} = 11 N

We calculate the work done on the spring  applying formula (3) :         :

W= 11N*(0.7m-0.3m) = 11N*0.4m=4.4 N*m = 4.4 Joule = 4.4 J

Work done in stages

Work is the change of elastic potential energy (ΔEp)

W=ΔEp

ΔEp= Epf-Epi

Epf= final potential energy

Epi=initial potential energy

E_{pf} =\frac{1}{2} *k*x_{f}^{2}

E_{pi} =\frac{1}{2} *k*x_{i}^{2}

E_{pf} =\frac{1}{2} *22*0.7^{2} = 5.39 J

E_{pf} =\frac{1}{2} *22*0.3^{2} = 0.99 J

W=ΔEp=  5.39 J-0.99 J = 4.4J

The shifting of the observed wavelength of light due to the motion of the source toward or away from the observer is called the
alexdok [17]

Answer:

doppler effect

Explanation:

When the relative motion of two bodies results in the wavelength becoming shorter this means that the bodies are getting closer. This is known as blue shift.

When the relative motion of two bodies results in the wavelength becoming longer this means that the bodies are getting farther. This is known as red shift.

Collectively this phenomenon is known as the Doppler effect.

A student, standing on a scale in an elevator at rest, sees that his weight is 840 N. As the elevator rises, his weight increase
ololo11 [35]

As per FBD while its accelerating upwards

we can say that

F_n - mg = ma

here normal force is given as

F_n = 1050 N

W = 840 N

now mass is given as

m(9.8) = 840

m = 85.7 kg

now we will have

1050 - 840 = 85.7 \times a

a = 2.45 m/s^2

Now while accelerating downwards we can say by FBD

mg - F_n = ma

again plug in all values

840 - 588 = 85.7 \times a

a = 2.94 m/s^2

Sound travels slowest through gas because the atoms in a gas are further apart than the other states of matter.
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

false

Explanation:

If they were farther apart they would be able to slip by through which means that it can go by faster. If the atoms where closer together then yes they would be able to go by slower.

A child is sitting on the outer edge of a merry-go-round that is 1.5 m in diameter. If the merry-go-round makes 3.2 rev/min, wha
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

the velocity of the kid is 5.6 m/s

Explanation:

r is the radius and w is the frequency.

so we should know that the diameter is 18m and the diameter is equal to two times the radius, so r = 18m/2 = 9m

we should also know that the circumference of a circle is equal to c = 2pi*r, so each revolution has this length. if the kid does 5.9 revolutions in one minute then the kid spins at v = 5.9*2pi*9m/min

so we want to write this in meters per second and this means that we need to divide it by 60!

v = (5.9*2pi*9/60)m/s = 5.56 m/s

so your answer will be  5.6 m/s glad i could help!
