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

The acceleration of a train moving from rest and its speed reaches 36m/sec in 9 sec​
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

4 m/s^2

Explanation:

The acceleration is defined as: Δv/Δt (the difference of the velocity over a time period in which happens that difference).

Remember that a difference is calculated by subtracting the initial value of a physical quantity from its final value.

In our case:

Δv = Vfinal - Vinitial = 36m/s - 0 m/s = 36m/s

Δt = 9s

a = Δv/Δt = 36m/s / 9s = 4m/s^2

2. Three super strong teenagers pull a heavy crate across the floor. Dion pulls with a force of 18.5 N towards 0°. Shirley pulls
kogti [31]

Answer:

A) The resultant force is 43.4 [N]

B) The movement of the heavy crate is going to the right and in the negative direction on the y-axis

Explanation:

We need to make a sketch of the different forces acting on the heavy crate.

In the attached image we can see the forces and the sum of the vector with their respective angles.

Forces in the X-axis

Fdionx=18.5N\\\\Fshix=16.5*cos(30)=14.29N\\Fjoanx=19.5*cos(60)=9.75N\\\\Forcex= 18.5 + 14.29 + 9.75 = 42.54 N

Forces in the y-axis

FDiony=0[N]\\Fshirley= 16.5*sin(30)=8.25[N]\\Fjoany=19.5*sin(60)=16.88 [N]\\\\Forcesy=0+8.25-16.88= -8.63[N]

Using the Pythagorean theorem

Tforce=\sqrt{(42.54)^{2} +(8.63)^{2} } \\\\Tforce= 43.4N

The movement of the heavy crate is going to the right and in the negative direction on the y-axis, this can be easily seen in the graphical sum of vectors.

The relationship between a cathode and an anode involves
astra-53 [7]
It involves electrons.

The cathode is the electrode where electron deficient ions move to.

While the anode is electrode where electron excess ions move to.

So the relationship between Cathode and Anode involves electrons.

If 12V battery maintains a 4.5A current through a resistor what is the resistance of the resistor?
Dimas [21]

Answer:

2.7ohms

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Voltage of the battery  = 12V

Current  = 4.5A

Unknown:

Resistance of the resistor  = ?

Solution:

From Ohm's law, we know that;

          V  = IR

V is the voltage

I is the current

R is the resistance

  So;

        R  = \frac{V}{I}   = \frac{12}{4.5}    = 2.7ohms
