A force of 140 140 newtons is required to hold a spring that has been stretched from its natural length of 40 cm to a length of

60 cm. Find the work done in stretching the spring from 60 cm to 65 cm. First, setup an integral and find a a, b b, and f ( x ) f(x) which would compute the amount of work done.

Answer:

The work done in stretching the spring is 0.875 J.

Explanation:

Given that,

Force = 140 N

Natural length = 60-40 = 20 cm

Stretch length of the spring = 65-60 = 5 cm

We need to calculate the spring constant

Using formula of Hooke's law

$F= kx$

$140=k\times20\times10^{-2}$

$k=\dfrac{140}{20\times10^{-2}}$

$k=700$

We need to calculate the work done

$W=\int_{a}^{b}{kx}dx$

$=\int_{0}^{0.05}{700x}dx$

On integration

$W=700\times(\dfrac{x^2}{2})_{0}^{0.05}$

$W=700\times(\dfrac{(0.05)^2}{2}-0)$

$W=0.875\ J$

Hence, The work done in stretching the spring is 0.875 J.

A disk is uniformly accelerated from rest with angular acceleration α. The magnitude of the linear acceleration of a point on th

solniwko [45]

Answer:

$a = R\alpha\sqrt{1 + \alpha^2t^4}$

Explanation:

As we know that the acceleration of a point on the rim of the disc is in two directions

1) tangential acceleration which is given as

$a_t = R\alpha$

2) Centripetal acceleration

$a_c = \omega^2 R$

here we know that

$\omega = \alpha t$

$a_c = (\alpha t)^2 R$

now we know that net linear acceleration is given as

$a = \sqrt{a_c^2 + a_t^2}$

so we have

$a = \sqrt{R^2\alpha^2 + R^2(\alpha t)^4}$

$a = R\alpha\sqrt{1 + \alpha^2t^4}$

If a cannonball is fired horizontally it will not go in a straight line why?

goldfiish [28.3K]

Explanation:

A projectile (Cannon ball) is launched at an angle to the horizontal and rises up to a peak while moving horizontally. When it reaches the peak, the projectile starts to fall.

If the number of crests that pass a point in a given time increases, what has increased?

zysi [14]

The frequency increasing makes the crests pass more quickly. Frequency is a count of how many times per second an event occurs. In waves, this event is the passing of an entire cycle. Once the cycle has passed, the wave repeats. The faster the wave repeats, the higher the frequency. For this reason, frequency has units of hertz, Hz. The unit of hertz is 1/s or "per second"

According to Kepler's Third Law, a solar-system planet that has an orbital radius of 4 AU would have an orbital period of about

NARA [144]

Answer:

Orbital period, T = 1.00074 years

Explanation:

It is given that,

Orbital radius of a solar system planet, $r=4\ AU=1.496\times 10^{11}\ m$

The orbital period of the planet can be calculated using third law of Kepler's. It is as follows :

$T^2=\dfrac{4\pi^2}{GM}r^3$

M is the mass of the sun

$T^2=\dfrac{4\pi^2}{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 1.989\times 10^{30}}\times (1.496\times 10^{11})^3$

$T^2=\sqrt{9.96\times 10^{14}}\ s$

T = 31559467.6761 s

T = 1.00074 years

So, a solar-system planet that has an orbital radius of 4 AU would have an orbital period of about 1.00074 years.

A block is projected up a frictionless inclined plane with initial speed v0 = 1.72 m/s. The angle of incline is θ = 44.8°. (a) H

Snowcat [4.5K]

Explanation:

Given

initial velocity(v_0)=1.72 m/s

$\theta =44.8{\circ}$

using $v^2-u^2=2as$

Where v=final velocity (Here v=0)

u=initial velocity(1.72 m/s)

a=acceleration $(gsin\theta )$

s=distance traveled

$0-(1.72)^2=2(-9.81\times sin(44.8))s$

s=0.214 m

(b)time taken to travel 0.214 m

v=u+at

$0=1.72-gsin(44.8)\times t$

$t=\frac{1.72}{9.8\times sin(44.8)}$

t=0.249 s

(c)Speed of the block at bottom

$v^2-u^2=2as$

Here u=0 as it started coming downward

$v^2=2\times gsin(44.8)\times 0.214$

$v=\sqrt{2.985}$

v=1.72 m/s
