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

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

Kinetic Energy.

Explanation:

The movement of a roller coaster is accomplished by the conversion of potential energy to kinetic energy. The roller coaster cars gain potential energy as they are pulled to the top of the first hill. As the cars descend the potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.

A body moving with an acceleration 2 m/s?then what is the change in velocity in 4sec.​
enot [183]

Answer:

As Per Provided Information

Moving body has 2m/s² acceleration

Time taken by body is 4 second

We are asked to find the 'change in velocity' ( ∆V) by the body.

<u>Formula Used here</u>

\boxed{\bf{\Delta \: V \:  =  acceleration \:  \times time \:}}

<u>Substituting </u><u>the </u><u>given </u><u>value</u>

<u>\sf\longrightarrow\Delta\:V \:  = 2 \times 4 \\  \\  \\ \sf\longrightarrow\Delta\:V \:  =8m {s}^{ - 1}</u>

<u>Therefore</u><u>,</u>

  • <u>Change </u><u>in </u><u>velocity </u><u>is </u><u>8</u><u> </u><u>m/</u><u>s</u>
