A spring of negligible mass has force constant of 1600 Newtons per meter. (a) How far must the spring be compressed for 3.20 Jou

les of potential energy to be stored in it? (b) You place the spring vertically with one end on the floor. You then drop a 1.20 kilogram book onto it from a height of 0.80 meters above the top of the spring. Find the maximum distance the spring will be compressed.

Answer:

a) x=63.0 x10^{-3} m or 6.3cm

b) x=116.0 x10^{-3} m or 11.6cm

Explanation:

a).

The elastic potential energy is modeling by equation :

U1=\frac{1}{2}*k*x^{2} \\K=1600 \frac{N}{m}\\ U=3.2J\\m=1.2kg\\x^{2}=\frac{2*U}{k}\\x=\sqrt{\frac{2*3.2J}{1600 \frac{N}{m}}} \\x=\sqrt{4x10^{-3} m^{2}}\\ x=0.06324m

b).

The work energy theorem explain which work is done in this case. the motion began from the rest so K1=K2 equal zero, Ug1 is no yet done and U2is also zero because is the potential energy

Ug=K2\\mgy=\frac{1}{2}*k*x^{2} \\but \\y=h+x=0.80m+x\\m*g*(0.80m+x)=\frac{1}{2}*k*x^{2}

Solving for x

2*(m*g(h+x))=k*x^{2} \\k*x^{2}-(2*m*g*x)-(2*m*g*h)=0\\1600x^{2} -2*1.2kg*9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}*x-2*1.2kg*0.80m=0\\1600x^{2} -23.52x-18.816m=0

x=-\frac{b+/-\sqrt{b^{2}-4*a*c } }{2*a} \\x=-\frac{-23.52+/-\sqrt{-23.52^{2}-4*1600*-18.816 } }{2*a} \\x=11.79 +/- 173.9\\x1=-0.10 m\\x2=0.116

The negative is discard so

x=0.116m

1. °C= (°F-32) X 5/9. what will be the answer?
aleksley [76]

Answer:

F=9/5(°C)+32

Explanation:

Lets take an example

  • Take 25°C

\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{9}{5}(25)+32

\\ \sf\longmapsto 9(5)+32

\\ \sf\longmapsto 45+32

\\ \sf\longmapsto 77°F

A motion sensor emits sound, and detects an echo 0.0115 s after. A short time later, it again emits a sound, and hears an echo a
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

1.17 m

Explanation:

From the question,

s₁ = vt₁/2................ Equation 1

Where s₁ = distance of the reflecting object for the first echo, v = speed of the sound in air, t₁ = time to dectect the first echo.

Given: v = 343 m/s, t = 0.0115 s

Substitute into equation 1

s₁ = (343×0.0115)/2

s₁ = 1.97 m.

Similarly,

s₂ = vt₂/2.................. Equation 2

Where s₂ = distance of the reflecting object for the second echo, t₂ = Time taken to detect the second echo

Given: v = 343 m/s, t₂ = 0.0183 s

Substitute into equation 2

s₂ = (343×0.0183)/2

s₂ = 3.14 m

The distance moved by the reflecting object from s₁ to s₂ = s₂-s₁

s₂-s₁ =  (3.14-1.97) m = 1.17 m

Two long wires hang vertically. Wire 1 carries an upward current of 1.50 A . Wire 2,20.0cm to the right of wire 1, carries a dow
Inessa [10]

The magnitude of the current in wire 3  is 2.4 A and in a direction pointing in the downward direction.

  • The force per unit length between two parallel thin current-carrying I_1 and I_2  wires at distance ' r ' is given by  f=\frac{u_0I_1I_2}{2\pi r}   ....(1) .
  • If the current is flowing in both wires in the same direction, and  the force between them will be the attractive force and if the current is flowing in opposite direction in wires then the force between them will be the repulsive force.

A schematic of the information provided in the question can be seen in the image attached below.

From the image, force on wire 2 due to wire 1 = force on wire 2 due to wire 3

F_2_1=F_2_3

Using equation (1) , we get

\frac{u_0I_2I_1}{0.2} =\frac{u_0I_2I_3}{0.32} \\\\\frac{I_1}{0.2} =\frac{I_3}{0.32} \\\\\frac{1.50}{0.2} =\frac{I_3}{0.32} \\\\0.48=0.2I_3\\\\I_3=2.4A

I₃ = 2.4 A and the current is pointing in the downward direction
