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 graph above shows the position and time calculate the velocity of the particle from T=0s to T=4s?
zzz [600]

Answer:

The velocity of the particle from T = 0 s to T = 4 s is;

0.5 m/s

Explanation:

The given parameters from the graph are;

The initial displacement (covered) at time, t₁ = 0 s is x₁ = 1 m

The displacement covered at time, t₂ = 4 s is x₂ = 3 m

The graph of distance to time, from time t = 0 to time t = 4 is a straight line graph, with the velocity given by the rate of change of the displacement to the time which is dx/dt which is also the slope of the graph given as follows;

The \ slope \ of \ the \ displacement \ time \ graph, \ m =velocity, \ v= \dfrac{x_2 - x_1}{t_2 - t_1}

Therefore, \ the \ velocity \ of \ the \ particle \ v  = \dfrac{3 \  m - 1 \ m}{4 \ s - 0 \ s}  = \dfrac{2 \ m}{4 \  s} = \dfrac{1}{2} \ m/s

The velocity of the particle from t = 0 s to t  = 4 s = 1/2 m/s = 0.5 m/s.
