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

A stationary siren on a firehouse is blaring at 81Hz. Assume the speed of sound to be 343m/s. What is the frequency perceived by
inn [45]

For a stationary siren on a firehouse is blaring at 81Hz. Assume the speed of sound to be 343m/s, the frequency perceived  is mathematically given as'

F=81.721Hz

<h3>What is the frequency perceived by a firefighter racing toward the station at 11km/h?</h3>

Generally, the equation for the doppler effect  is mathematically given as

F'=\frac{vs+v}{vs}*f

Therefore

F=81(343+3.05556)/343

F=81.721Hz

In conclusion, the frequency is

F=81.721Hz

Two sources of light of wavelength 720 nm are 10 m away from a pinhole of diameter 1.2 mm. How far apart must the sources be for
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

The value is  y  =  0.00732 \ m    

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The wavelength of each source is  \lambda  = 720 \ nm =  720 *10^{-9} \  m

     The distance from the pinhole D = 10 \ m

     The diameter is d =  1.2 mm = \frac{1.2}{1000} = 0.0012 \ m

Generally from Rayleigh's criterion  we have that the distance between the sources of light for their diffraction patterns is mathematically represented as '

        y  =  \frac{ 1.22 *  \lambda *  D}{d}

=>      y  =  \frac{ 1.22 * 720 *10^{-9}*   10 }{ 0.0012}

=>      y  =  0.00732 \ m
