(a) According to Hooke's Law, the force required to hold any spring stretched x meters beyond its natural length is f(x)=kx. Sup

pose a spring has a natural length of 20 cm. If a 25-N force is required to keep it stretched to a length of 30 cm, how much work is required to stretch it from 20 cm to 25 cm?

Answer:

a) The work required to stretch the spring from 20 centimeters to 25 centimeters is 0.313 joules, b) The area of the region enclosed by one loop of the curve r(\theta) = 2\cdot \sin 5\theta is 4\pi.

Explanation:

a) The work, measured in joules, is a physical variable represented by the following integral:

W = \int\limits^{x_{f}}_{x_{o}} {F(x)} \, dx

Where

x_{o}, x_{f} - Initial and final position, respectively, measured in meters.

F(x) - Force as a function of position, measured in newtons.

Given that F = k\cdot x and the fact that F = 25\,N when x = 0.3\,m - 0.2\,m, the spring constant (k), measured in newtons per meter, is:

k = \frac{F}{x}

k = \frac{25\,N}{0.3\,m-0.2\,m}

k = 250\,\frac{N}{m}

Now, the work function is obtained:

W = \left(250\,\frac{N}{m} \right)\int\limits^{0.05\,m}_{0\,m} {x} \, dx

W = \frac{1}{2}\cdot \left(250\,\frac{N}{m} \right)\cdot [(0.05\,m)^{2}-(0.00\,m)^{2}]

W = 0.313\,J

The work required to stretch the spring from 20 centimeters to 25 centimeters is 0.313 joules.

b) Let be r(\theta) = 2\cdot \sin 5\theta. The area of the region enclosed by one loop of the curve is given by the following integral:

A = \int\limits^{2\pi}_0 {[r(\theta)]^{2}} \, d\theta

A = 4\int\limits^{2\pi}_{0} {\sin^{2}5\theta} \, d\theta

By using trigonometrical identities, the integral is further simplified:

A = 4\int\limits^{2\pi}_{0} {\frac{1-\cos 10\theta}{2} } \, d\theta

A = 2 \int\limits^{2\pi}_{0} {(1-\cos 10\theta)} \, d\theta

A = 2\int\limits^{2\pi}_{0}\, d\theta - 2\int\limits^{2\pi}_{0} {\cos10\theta} \, d\theta

A = 2\cdot (2\pi - 0) - \frac{1}{5}\cdot (\sin 20\pi-\sin 0)

A = 4\pi

The area of the region enclosed by one loop of the curve r(\theta) = 2\cdot \sin 5\theta is 4\pi.

Except for the nodes on a standing wave, what is the frequency f of the points executing simple harmonic motion?
Katen [24]

Take into account that in a standing wave, the frequency f of the points executing simple harmonic motion, is simply a multiple of the fundamental harmonic fo, that is:

f = n·fo

where n is an integer and fo is the first harmonic or fundamental.

fo is given by the length L of a string, in the following way:

fo = v/λ = v/(L/2) = 2v/L

becasue in the fundamental harmonic, the length of th string coincides with one hal of the wavelength of the wave.

Two vectors, X and Y, form a right angle. Vector X is 48 inches long and vector Y is 14 inches long. The length of the
Andrews [41]

Answer:

The length of the resultant vector is 50 inches

Explanation:

Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the answer, since the addition of these two perpendicular vectors will have a magnitude (length) equal to the hypotenuse of the right angle triangle formed by the two:

|Resultant|\,=\,\sqrt{x^2+y^2} \\|Resultant|\,=\,\sqrt{48^2+14^2}\\|Resultant|\,=\,\sqrt{2304+196}\\|Resultant|\,=\,\sqrt{2500}\\|Resultant|\,=\,50\,in  

The length of the resultant vector is 50 inches
