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

Answer : 0.814 newton

Explanation:

force (magnetic) acting on the wire is given by

F= ? , I=2.2amp , B = 0.37 T

F = B i l sin (theta) = 0.37 x 2.2 x 2x 0.5 = 0.814N

How does this diagram demonstrate the law of superposition?
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

well, as u can tell the top layer will always be the youngest layer aka the newest layer. The farther u go down the older the layers get. So the deeper u dig the farther back in time we see.

What is the relationship between dominant and recessive genes
Triss [41]
Dominant genes and recessive genes are both given to a parents offspring. However, not both can be expressed causing the difference of dominant and recessive. Dominant genes are more likely to be expressed and recessive genes are more likely to be repressed.
