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

Describe how the number of photoelectrons emitted from a metal plate in the photoelectric effect would change if the following o
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

a) True. The number of photoelectrons is proportional to the amount (intensity) of the incident beam. From the expression above we see that threshold frequency cannot emit electrons.

b)   λ = c / f

Therefore, as the wavelength increases, the frequency decreases and therefore the energy of the photoelectrons emitted,

c)  threshold energy

        h f =Ф

Explanation:

It's photoelectric effect was fully explained by Einstein by the expression

       Knox = h f - fi

Where K is the kinetic energy of the photoelectrons, f the frequency of the incident radiation and fi the work function of the metal

a) True. The number of photoelectrons is proportional to the amount (intensity) of the incident beam. From the expression above we see that threshold frequency cannot emit electrons.

b) wavelength is related to frequency

         λ = c / f

Therefore, as the wavelength increases, the frequency decreases and therefore the energy of the photoelectrons emitted, so there is a wavelength from which electrons cannot be removed from the metal.

c) As the work increases, more frequency radiation is needed to remove the electrons, because there is a threshold energy

        h f =Ф

Answer: Move the small car so it appears on the left side of the lens.

Explanation:

Because the lens is reflective the small car would apear on the same side as the normal car.

Hope this helps :)
