A certain spring exerts a nonlinear force given by F(x) = −60x − 18x2 , where x is in meters and F is in newtons. A 0.90-kg bloc

k on a frictionless, horizontal surface is attached to the spring at x = 0. The block is pushed to x = −0.50 m and is then released. a) The work done by the spring on the block as it moves from x = −0.50 m to x = 0? b) The block’s speed when it reaches x = 0 c) What are the units of the coefficient with value –18?

Answer:

a)  W = 6.75 J and b) v = 3.87 m / s

Explanation:

a) In the problem the force is nonlinear and they ask us for work, so we must use it's definition

      W = ∫ F. dx

Bold indicates vectors.  In a spring the force is applied in the direction of movement, whereby the scalar product is reduced to the ordinary product

     W = ∫ F dx

We replace and integrate

    W = ∫ (-60 x - 18 x²) dx

    W = -60 x²/2 -18 x³/3

Let's evaluate between the integration limits, lower W = 0 for x = -0.50 m, to the upper limit W = W for x = 0 m

    W = -30 [0- (-0.50) 2] -6 [0 - (- 0.50) 3]

    W = 7.5 - 0.75

    W = 6.75 J

b)  Work is equal to the variation of kinetic energy

    W = ΔK

    W = ΔK = ½ m v² -0

    v =√ 2W/m

    v = √(2 6.75/ 0.90)

    v = 3.87 m / s

Answer:

a. 11.29 s b. 94.72 m/s at -39.8° c. 821.57 m​

Explanation:

a. Using y - y₀ = ut - 1/2gt² where u = vertical component of velocity = v₀sinθ where v₀ = 88.3 m/s and θ = 34.5°, y₀ = + 60 m and y = water surface = 0 m, g = 9.8 m/s² and t = time it takes the cannon to reach the water surface.

So y - y₀ = ut - 1/2gt²

y - y₀ = (v₀sinθ)t - 1/2gt²

substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

0 - 60 = (88.3 m/s × sin34.5°)t - 1/2 × 9.8 m/s²× t²

- 60 = 50t - 4.9t²

So, 4.9t² - 50t - 60 = 0

Using the quadratic formula to find t,

t = \frac{-(-50) +/- \sqrt{(-50)^{2} - 4 X 4.9 X -60} }{2 X 4.9} \\t = \frac{50 +/- \sqrt{2500 + 1176} }{9.8} \\t = \frac{50 +/- \sqrt{3676} }{9.8} \\t = \frac{50 +/- 60.63 }{9.8} \\t = \frac{50 + 60.63 }{9.8} or t = \frac{50 - 60.63 }{9.8} \\t = \frac{110.63 }{9.8} or t = \frac{-10.63 }{9.8} \\t = 11.29 sor -1.085

Since t cannot be negative, t = 11.29 s

b. We first need to find the impact vertical velocity component. Using

v = u - gt where u = initial vertical velocity component = v₀sinθ  and t = 11.29 s and g = 9.8 m/s². So,

v = v₀sinθ - gt

= 88.3 m/s × sin34.5° - 9.8 m/s² × 11.29 s

= 50.01 m/s - 110.64 m/s

= -60.63 m/s

Since the horizontal velocity is constant u' = v₀cosθ = 88.3 m/s × cos34.5° = 72.77 m/s.

The impact velocity is thus the resultant of the horizontal velocity and final impact velocity. So, V = √(v² + u'²)

= √((-60.63 m/s)² + (72.77 m/s)²)

= √((3676 m²/s² + 5295.48 m²/s²)

= √(8971.48 m²/s²

= 94.72 m/s

The angle θ = tan⁻¹(v/u') = tan⁻¹(-60.63 m/s ÷ 72.77 m/s) = tan⁻¹(-0.8332) = -39.8°

So the impact velocity is 94.72 m/s at -39.8°

c. The horizontal distance out from the base of the cliff that the ball strikes the water is the range, R = u't = 72.77 m/s × 11.29 s = 821.57 m​

When is a secondary source more helpful than a primary source?
UNO [17]

Answer:

I think the answer is C.

Explanation:

A primary source is a first hand account of an event while a secondary source is a retelling or second hand account meaning as many details will be prevalent.

If two people lift identical stacks of books the same distance and one person does the job twice as fast, which of the following
Doss [256]

Answer:

Power

Explanation:

Power is defined as the rate of doing work with reference to the time spent and the formula is force multiplied by velocity.

In this case, if two people lift identical stacks of books the same distance and one person does the job twice as fast, then it means the velocity in the case is doubled which will also lead to an increase in the Power .
