PL-1) A spring that hangs vertically is 25 cm long when no weight is attached to its lower end. Steve adds 250 g of mass to the

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

20.42 N/m

Explanation:

From hook's law,

F = ke ......................... Equation 1

Where F = Force applied to the spring., k = spring constant, e = extension.

Make k the subject of the equation,

k = F/e ................. Equation 2

Note: The force on the spring is equal to the weight of the mass hung on it.

F = W = mg.

k = mg/e................ Equation 3

Given: m = 250 g = 0.25 kg, e = 37-25 = 12 cm = 0.12 m.

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute into equation 3

k = (0.25×9.8)/0.12

k = 20.42 N/m.

Hence the spring constant = 20.42 N/m

In a mail-sorting facility, a 2.50-kg package slides down an inclined plane that makes an angle of 20.0° with the horizontal. Th

lawyer [7]

Answer:

The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.382.

Explanation:

Given:

Angle of inclination is, $\theta=20.0$ °

Mass of package is, $m=2.50\ kg$

Initial speed of package is, $u=2.00\ m/s$

Final speed of the package at the bottom is, $v=0\ m/s$

Distance of travel along the incline is, $d=12.0\ m$

Acceleration due to gravity is, $g=9.8\ m/s^2$

Let the coefficient of kinetic friction be $\mu$ .

Now, the frictional force will be acting along the incline but in the direction opposite to the direction of motion.

So, the net acceleration acting on the package will be up the incline and is equal to:

$a=\mu g\cos\theta-g\sin\theta$ ----------------- 1

Now, using equation of motion, we have:

$v^2-u^2=2ad\\\\0-(2.00)^2=2a(12.0)$

Solving for 'a', we get:

$-4.00=24.0a\\\\a=-\frac{4}{24}=-\frac{1}{6}\ m/s^2$

Now, plug in the value of 'a' in equation (1). This gives,

$\mu g\cos\theta-g\sin\theta=\frac{1}{6}$ ( Neglecting negative sign)

Plug in all the given values and solve for $\mu$ . This gives,

$9.8(-sin(20)+\mu cos(20))=\frac{1}{6}\\\\-0.342+\mu\times 0.94=0.017\\\\0.94\mu=0.342+0.017\\\\0.94\mu=0.359\\\\\mu=\frac{0.359}{0.94}=0.382$

Therefore, the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.382.

The circuit has a 3 volt EMF and two ohm resistors. How much power in watts does this circuit draw? A) 4.5 , B) 24, C) 1.13 D) 2

dlinn [17]

Answer:

P = 4.5 watts

Explanation:

Given that,

EMF of the circuit, E = 3 volt

The resistance of the resistors, R = 2 ohms

We need to find the power of this circuit. The relation between power, emf and resistance is given by the formula as follows :

$P=\dfrac{V^2}{R}$

Substitute all the values,

$P=\dfrac{3^2}{2}\\\\P=4.5\ W$

So, the power of this circuit is equal to 4.5 watts.
