Answer:

x= 80 cm : Spring stretch

Explanation:

Hooke's law:

The force applied to a spring is proportional to the spring stretching:

F=K*x (Formula (1)

Where:

F=Force applied to the spring (N)

K= spring elasticity constant (N/m)

x= spring stretch (m)

Known data

F=520 N

k=650 N/m

Problem development

We apply formula (1) for calculate the spring strech (x):

F=K*x

520N=(650 N/m) *x

x= (520N) / (650 N/m)

x= 0.8 m = 0.8m* 100cm/m = 80cm

x= 80 cm

adell [148]

Answer:

$r=\dfrac{1}{B}\sqrt{\dfrac{2Vm}{e}}$

Explanation:

Let m and e are the mass and charge of an electron. It is accelerated from rest through a potential difference V and are then deflected by a magnetic field that is perpendicular to their velocity. Let v is the velocity of the electron. It can be calculated as :

$\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=eV$

$v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2eV}{m}}$

When the electron enters the magnetic field, the centripetal force is balanced by the magnetic force as :

$\dfrac{mv^2}{r}=evB$

$r=\dfrac{mv}{eB}$

$r=\dfrac{1}{B}\sqrt{\dfrac{2Vm}{e}}$

So, the radius of the resulting electron trajectory is $\dfrac{1}{B}\sqrt{\dfrac{2Vm}{e}}$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

A cylinder of mass mm is free to slide in a vertical tube. The kinetic friction force between the cylinder and the walls of the

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

$y = \frac{-f +/- \sqrt{f^{2} +2kmg}}{k}$

Explanation:

Let y₀ be the initial position of the cylinder when the spring is attached and y its position when it is momentarily at rest.From work-kinetic energy principles, The work done by the spring force + work done by friction + work done by gravity = kinetic energy change of the cylinder

work done by the spring force = ¹/₂k(y₀² - y²)

work done by friction = - f(y - y₀)

work done by gravity = mg(y - y₀)

kinetic energy change of the cylinder = ¹/₂m(v₁² - v₀²)

So ¹/₂k(y₀² - y²) - f(y - y₀) + mg(y - y₀) = ¹/₂m(v₁² - v₀²)

Since the cylinder starts at rest, v₀ = 0. Also, when it is momentarily at rest, v₁ = 0

¹/₂k(y₀² - y²) - f(y - y₀) + mg(y - y₀) = ¹/₂m(0² - 0²)

¹/₂k(y₀² - y²) - f(y - y₀) + mg(y - y₀) = 0

¹/₂ky₀² + fy₀ - mgy₀ -¹/₂ky² - fy + mgy = 0

¹/₂ky₀² + fy₀ - mgy₀ = ¹/₂ky² + fy - mgy

Let y₀ = 0, then the left hand side of the equation equals zero. So,

0 = ¹/₂ky² + fy - mgy

¹/₂ky² + fy - mgy = 0

Using the quadratic formula

$y = \frac{-f +/- \sqrt{f^{2} - 4 X\frac{k}{2} X -mg}}{2 X \frac{k}{2} }\\ y = \frac{-f +/- \sqrt{f^{2} +2kmg}}{k}$

Dolphins rely on echolocation to be able to survive in the ocean. In a 20 °C ocean, a dolphin produces an ultrasonic sound with

Firdavs [7]

Answer:

wavelength = 0.01 m

distance = 162.8 m

Explanation:

Given that;

Speed of sound in water = 1,480 meters per second

Frequency of ultrasound = 125KHZ

From=

v=λf

v= speed of sound

λ= wavelength of sound

f= frequency of sound

λ= 1,480 ms-1/125 * 10^3 Hz

λ= 0.01 m

From

v = 2x/t

where;

v= velocity of sound in water

x= distance traveled

t = time taken

x = vt/2

x = 1,480 ms-1 * 0.220 s/2

x= 162.8 m
