he block sticks to the spring and momentarily stops after compressing the spring 15.3 cm. How much work is done (a) by the block on the spring and (b) by the spring on the block? (c) What is the value of h0? (d) If the block were released from height 6h0 above the spring, what would be the maximum compression of the spring?

Answer:

(a) = +5.38m (b) = -5.38m (c) = 1.246m (d) = +0.3771m.

Explanation:

Initially the spring is at equilibrium,

Work done by all forces = change in kinetic energy

Work = ∇K.E

Work = Kf -Ki =0

Since the work done = 0 since the body is at rest.

W(spring) + W(gravity) = 0

W(spring) + W(gravity) = 0

W(spring) = -W(gravity)

Work done by the block on the spring = W(block/spring)

W(block/spring) + W(spring) = 0

W(spring) = -∫kx.dx

W(spring) = ½k(X²i - X²f) ; Xi =0, Xf = 15.3cm = 0.153m

W(spring) = -½* 460 * (0.153)²

W(spring) = - 5.38NM

Work done by block on spring = + 5.38NM

(b). Workdone by spring on the block = -5.38NM.

Note: This is so because the displacement of the force is in the opposite direction to the previous one since they counter each other to maintain equilibrium.

(C). W(spring) +W(gravity) = 0

½kx² + mg(h + x) = 0

-5.83 + mg(h + 0.153) =0

5.83 = 0.425*9.8 (h + 0.153)

5.83 = 4.165(h + 0.153)

H = 1.399 - 0.153

H = 1.246m

(D).

If the release height was 6ho

H = 6* 1.246m = 7.476m

W(spring) = W(gravity)

½kx² = mg(7.476 + x)

Note: At maximum compression, the blocks would be at rest.

½Kx² = mg(h + x)

½ * 460 * x² = 0.425 * 9.8 * (7.476 + x)

230x² = 4.165 (7.476 + x)

230x² = 31.137 + 4.165x

230x² - 4.165x - 31.137 = 0

Solving the quadratic equation ( i would suggest you use formula method for easy navigation of the variables)

X = + 0.3771m or -0.3589m

But we can't have a negative compression value,

X = + 0.3771m

Answer:

a) Work done by the block on the spring W_{b} = 5.38 Joules

b) Work done by the spring on the block W_{s} = - 5.38 Joules

c) h_{0} = 1.14 m

d) Maximum compression of the spring, x = 0.36 m

Explanation:

Spring constant, k = 460 N/m

mass, m = 0.425 kg

compression, x= 15.3 cm = 0.153 m

a) Work done by the block on the spring,  W_{b}= 0.5kx^{2}

W_{b} = 0.5*460*0.153^{2}

W_{b} = 5.38 Joules

b) Work done by the spring on the ball, W_{s} = - (Work done by the block on the spring, W_{b})

W_{s} = - W_{b}

W_{s} = - 5.38 Joules

c) Value of h_{0}

Applying the principle of energy conservation

mgh_{0} = mgx + 0.5kx^{2}

Inserting the appropriate values into the energy conservation equation above

0.425*9.8*h_{0} = -(0.425*9.8*0.153) + (0.5*460*0.153^{2} )\\4.165h_{0} = 6.0213\\h_{0} = 4.75/4.165\\h_{0} = 1.14 m

d)Maximum compression if height = 6h₀

mg(6h_{0}) = -mgx + 0.5kx^{2}\\0.425*9.8*(6*1.14) = -(0.425*9.8x) + (0.5*460*x^{2})\\28.49 = -4.165x + 230x^{2}\\

Find the value of x using the quadratic formula

a = 230, b = -4.165, c = -28.49

x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac } }{2a} \\x = \frac{4.165 \pm \sqrt{(-4.165)^{2}-(4*230*(-28.49) } }{2*230}\\x = \frac{4.165 \pm 161.95}{460} \\

x = \frac{4.165 +161.95}{460}\\ = 0.36

or x = \frac{4.165 -161.95}{460}\\ = -0.34

x = 0.36 m is the only realistic value

At sunset, red light travels horizontally through the doorway in the western wall of your beach cabin, and you observe the light
Nady [450]

Answer:

9.8\cdot 10^{-6}m

Explanation:

For light passing through a single slit, the position of the nth-minimum from the central bright fringe in the diffraction pattern is given by

y=\frac{n \lambda D}{d}

where

\lambda is the wavelength

D is the distance of the screen from the slit

d is the width of the slit

In this problem, we have

\lambda=700 nm = 7.00\cdot 10^{-7}m is the wavelength of the red light

D = 14 m is the distance of the screen from the doorway

d = 1.0 m is the width of the doorway

Substituting n=1 into the equation, we find the distance between the central bright fringe and the first-order dark fringe (the first minimum):

y=\frac{(1)(7.00\cdot 10^{-7} m)(14 m)}{1.0 m}=9.8\cdot 10^{-6}m

Radio waves have a longer wavelength than microwaves. What else is true<br> about radio waves?
Dennis_Churaev [7]

As it was explained in the Introductory Article on the Electromagnetic Spectrum, electromagnetic radiation can be described as a stream of photons, each traveling in a wave-like pattern, carrying energy and moving at the speed of light. In that section, it was pointed out that the only difference between radio waves, visible light and gamma rays is the energy of the photons. Radio waves have photons with the lowest energies. Microwaves have a little more energy than radio waves. Infrared has still more, followed by visible, ultraviolet, X-rays and gamma rays.

That should be able to help answer your question :)

Skylar travels 50 meters N and then goes 30 meters W before coming straight back south 20 meters. What distance did she travel?
lesya [120]

Answer:

100\ \text{meters}.

Explanation:

Distance Skylar traveled North is 50\ \text{meters}

Then she traveled 30\ \text{meters} Westward.

After which she traveled 20\ \text{meters} towards the South.

The total distance traveled would be the sum of the distances.

50+30+20=100\ \text{meters}

The distance traveled by Skylar was is 100\ \text{meters}.
