Answer:

1.78 J

Explanation:

Find the spring coefficient using Hooke's law:

F = k Δx

23 N = k (0.20 m − 0.14 m)

k = 383.33 N/m

The work is the change in energy:

W = PE₂ − PE₁

W = ½ kx₂² − ½ kx₁²

W = ½ k (x₂² − x₁²)

W = ½ (383.33 N/m) ((0.17 m)² − (0.14 m)²)

W = 1.78 J

"Light traveling in a medium with a refractive index 1.11 is incident on a plate of another medium with index of refraction 1.66
Kamila [148]

Answer:

56°

Explanation:

Brewsters angle can be simply derived from

n1sin theta1= n2sintheta2= n2costheta1

because the reflected light will be 100% polarized if it is reflected at an angle 90o to the refracted light. Hence, Brewsters angle is

Tan theta= n2/n1

1.66/1.11= 1.495

Theta = 56°

A block moves up a 30 degree incline under the action of three applied forces. F1 is horizontal and of magnitude 40 N. F2 is nor
Alja [10]

Answer

given,

F₁ is horizontal = 40 N

F₂ is normal = 20 N

F₃ is parallel = 30 N

work done by

W₂ = 0 as force is acting perpendicular to the direction of motion.

as the motion moved to 0.8 cm

W₃ = F₃ x d

W₃ = 30 x 0.8

W₃ = 24 J

W₁ = F₁ x d

W₁ = F₁ cos ∅ x d

W₁ = 40 cos 30⁰ x 0.8

W₁ = 27.21 J

A pump lifts water from a lake to a large tank 20 m above the lake. How much work against gravity does the pump do as it transfe
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

980 kJ

Explanation:

Work = change in energy

W = mgh

W = (1000 kg/m³ × 5.0 m³) (9.8 m/s²) (20 m)

W = 980,000 J

W = 980 kJ

The pump does 980 kJ of work.

A car that experiences no frictional force is started and caused to move. For the car to continue in that motion, the gas pedal
astraxan [27]

Explanation:

Gas pedal is not required to used on friction less surface. On a friction less surface once the car is started and caused to move, car continues to move with same velocity as there is no opposing force. Therefore, no pressing of gas pedal required. However, this situation is not possible in real life, as friction is always present.
