Answer:
Potential energy of spring = 24 Joules.
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Spring constant = 85N/m
Extension, e = 0.75m
Mass = 25kg
To find the potential energy of a spring
Potential energy of a spring is given by the formula;
P.E = ½ke²
Substituting into the equation, we have
P.E = ½*85*0.75²
P.E = 42.5 * 0.5625
P.E = 23.91 ≈ 24 Joules
P.E = 24 Joules
W = m.g = weight
g = Gme/Re**2 where G= universal gravitational constant , Re= radius of the earth
me= mass of the earth
therefore it weighs 16 times less
Answer:
τ = 0.00203 seconds
Explanation:
The time constant τ in a R-L circuit is given by
τ = L/R
First we have to find out the equivalent resistance of the circuit.
Since there is a parallel combination of 19 Ω and 6.0 Ω resistor
Req = 19*6/19+6
Req = 4.56 Ω
Now we can find out the time constant
τ = L/R
τ = 0.0093/4.56
τ = 0.00203 seconds
Therefore, the time constant of this circuit is 0.00203 seconds.
