(8c7p26) During spring semester at MIT, residents of the parallel buildings of the East Campus dorms battle one another with lar

ge catapults that are made with surgical hose mounted on a window frame. A balloon filled with dyed water is placed in a pouch attached to the hose, which is then stretched through the width of the room. Assume that the stretching of the hose obeys Hooke's law and has a spring constant of 102 N/m. If the hose is stretched by 4.8 m and then released, how much work does the force from the hose do on the balloon in the pouch by the time the hose reaches its relaxed length

Answer: 1175 J

Explanation:

Hooke's Law states that "the strain in a solid is proportional to the applied stress within the elastic limit of that solid."

Given

Spring constant, k = 102 N/m

Extension of the hose, x = 4.8 m

from the question, x(f) = 0 and x(i) = maximum elongation = 4.8 m

Work done =

W = 1/2 k [x(i)² - x(f)²]

Since x(f) = 0, then

W = 1/2 k x(i)²

W = 1/2 * 102 * 4.8²

W = 1/2 * 102 * 23.04

W = 1/2 * 2350.08

W = 1175.04

W = 1175 J

Therefore, the hose does a work of exactly 1175 J on the balloon

Given that the distance from the left end of the string to the first antinode is 27.5 cm , calculate the wavelength of the stand
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

= 0.55 m

Explanation:

A standing wave is characterized by anti-nodes and nodes.

Antinodes are points on a standing wave at maximum amplitude, while nodes are points on the standing wave that are stationary and have zero amplitude.

The distance between two adjacent nodes or two adjacent anti-nodes is equivalent to half the wavelength.

Therefore, in this case the half wavelength is 27.5 cm.

Thus, wavelength = 27.5 × 2

                              = 55 cm

                             <u>= 0.55 m</u>
