A force of 10 lb is required to hold a spring stretched 4 in. beyond its natural length. How much work W is done in stretching i
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

114.44 J

Explanation:

From Hook's Law,

F = ke................. Equation 1

Where F = Force required to stretch the spring, k = spring constant, e = extension.

make k the subject of the equation

k = F/e.............. Equation 2

Given: F = 10 lb = (10×4.45) N = 44.5 N, e = 4 in = (4×0.254) = 1.016 m.

Substitute into equation 2

k = 44.5/1.016

k = 43.799 N/m

Work done in stretching the 9 in beyond its natural length

W = 1/2ke²................. Equation 3

Given: e = 9 in = (9×0.254) = 2.286 m, k = 43.799 N/m

Substitute into equation 3

W = 1/2×43.799×2.286²

W = 114.44 J

A disk of mass m and moment of inertia of I is spinning freely at 6.00 rad/s when a second identical disk, initially not spinnin
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

The angular speed of the new system is 3\,\frac{rad}{s}.

Explanation:

Due to the absence of external forces between both disks, the Principle of Angular Momentum Conservation is observed. Since axes of rotation of each disk coincide with each other, the principle can be simplified into its scalar form. The magnitude of the Angular Momentum is equal to the product of the moment of inertial and angular speed. When both disks begin to rotate, moment of inertia is doubled and angular speed halved. That is:

I\cdot \omega_{o} = 2\cdot I \cdot \omega_{f}

Where:

I - Moment of inertia of a disk, measured in kilogram-square meter.

\omega_{o} - Initial angular speed, measured in radians per second.

\omega_{f} - Final angular speed, measured in radians per second.

This relationship is simplified and final angular speed can be determined in terms of initial angular speed:

\omega_{f} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot \omega_{o}

Given that \omega_{o} = 6\,\frac{rad}{s}, the angular speed of the new system is:

\omega_{f} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot \left(6\,\frac{rad}{s} \right)

\omega_{f} = 3\,\frac{rad}{s}

The angular speed of the new system is 3\,\frac{rad}{s}.

The Andromeda galaxy is the closest major galaxy to our own. Andromeda shows a distinct blue-shift of light when we analyze it.
saul85 [17]
At the present time, the only way we know of that light can get shifted
toward the blue end of the spectrum is the Doppler effect ... wavelengths
appear shorter than they should be when the source is moving toward us. 

IF that's true in the case of the Andromeda galaxy, it means the galaxy is
moving toward us.

We use the same reasoning to conclude that all the galaxies whose light is red-shifted are moving away from us.  That includes the vast majority of all galaxies that we can see, and it strongly supports the theory of the big bang
and the expanding universe.

If somebody ever comes along and discovers a DIFFERENT way that light
can get shifted to new, longer or shorter wavelengths, then pretty much all
of modern Cosmology will be out the window.  There's a lot riding on the
Doppler effect !
