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

A truck on a straight road starts from rest and accelerates at 1.4 m/s 2 until it reaches a speed of 22 m/s. Then the truck trav
Zolol [24]

Answer:

42.11 sec

Explanation:

In first part : The truck start from the rest that is u = 0 m/sec

Acceleration is given as a=1.4m/sec^2

It reaches to a velocity of 22 m/sec so v=22 m/sec

Now according to first law of motion v=u+at

22=0+1.4\times t

t=15.71sec

In second part : The truck maintain a constant speed for 22 sec

In third  part : The truck takes an additional 4.4 sec for stopping

So total time in which the truck is in motion =15.71+22+4.4=42.11 sec

Which vertebrate lays its eggs on land?
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer: A lizard :)

Explanation:Frogs lay there eggs in the water for example a underwater stick. Newts also lay there eggs underwater or in a underwater enviroment. And catfishes also lay they eggs under water. Where i live (Florida) there are millions of lizards and sometimes i find them on the ground or on land. I also did some research and its a fact that lizerds do in fact lay there eggs on the ground.

I really hope this helps have a great rest of your day :) :) :) :) :)

Which of the following four circuit diagrams best represents the experiment described in this problem?
Valentin [98]

We don't see any circuit diagrams.  

This worries us for a few seconds, until we realize that we don't know anything about the experiment described in the problem either, so we don't have to worry about it at all.

Explain why nuclear fusion takes place only in the center of stars
iVinArrow [24]
 <span>A star is born when atoms of light elements are squeezed under enough pressure for their nuclei to undergo fusion. All stars are the result of a balance of forces: the force of gravity compresses atoms in interstellar gas until the fusion reactions begin. And once the fusion reactions begin, they exert an outward pressure. As long as the inward force of gravity and the outward force generated by the fusion reactions are equal, the star remains stable. Clouds of gas are common in our galaxy and in other galaxies like ours. These clouds are called nebulae. A typical nebula is many light-years across and contains enough mass to make several thousand stars the size of our sun. The majority of the gas in nebulae consists of molecules of hydrogen and helium--but most nebulae also contain atoms of other elements, as well as some surprisingly complex organic molecules. These heavier atoms are remnants of older stars, which have exploded in an event we call a supernova. The source of the organic molecules is still a mystery. 

STAR BIRTHS are started when the interstellar matter in gas clouds, such as the Eagle Nebula shown here, compresses and fuses. Irregularities in the density of the gas causes a net gravitational force that pulls the gas molecules closer together. Some astronomers think that a gravitational or magnetic disturbance causes the nebula to collapse. As the gases collect, they lose potential energy, which results in an increase in temperature. As the collapse continues, the temperature increases. The collapsing cloud separates into many smaller clouds, each of which may eventually become a star. The core of the cloud collapses faster than the outer parts, and the cloud begins to rotate faster and faster to conserve angular momentum. When the core reaches a temperature of about 2,000 degrees Kelvin, the molecules of hydrogen gas break apart into hydrogen atoms. Eventually the core reaches a temperature of 10,000 degrees Kelvin, and it begins to look like a star when fusion reactions begin. When it has collapsed to about 30 times the size of our sun, it becomes a protostar. When the pressure and temperature in the core become great enough to sustain nuclear fusion, the outward pressure acts against the gravitational force. At this stage the core is about the size of our sun. The remaining dust envelope surrounding the star heats up and glows brightly in the infrared part of the spectrum. At this point the visible light from the new star cannot penetrate the envelope. Eventually, radiation pressure from the star blows away the envelope and the new star begins its evolution. The properties and lifetime of the new star depend on the amount of gas that remains trapped. A star like our sun has a lifetime of about 10 billion years and is just middle-aged, with another five billion years or so left.</span>
