A spring is used to stop a 50-kg package which is moving down a 20º incline. The spring has a constant k = 30 kN/m and is held b

y cables so that it is initially compressed 50 mm. Knowing that the velocity of the package is 2 m/s when it is 8 m from the spring and neglecting friction, determine the maximum additional deformation of the spring in bringing the package to rest.

Answer:

0.3 m

Explanation:

Initially, the package has both gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy.  The spring has elastic energy.  After the package is brought to rest, all the energy is stored in the spring.

Initial energy = final energy

mgh + ½ mv² + ½ kx₁² = ½ kx₂²

Given:

m = 50 kg

g = 9.8 m/s²

h = 8 sin 20º m

v = 2 m/s

k = 30000 N/m

x₁ = 0.05 m

(50)(9.8)(8 sin 20) + ½ (50)(2)² + ½ (30000)(0.05)² = ½ (30000)x₂²

x₂ ≈ 0.314 m

So the spring is compressed 0.314 m from it's natural length.  However, we're asked to find the additional deformation from the original 50mm.

x₂ − x₁

0.314 m − 0.05 m

0.264 m

Rounding to 1 sig-fig, the spring is compressed an additional 0.3 meters.

The operating temperature of a tungsten filament in an incandescent light bulb is 2450 K, and its emissivity is 0.350. Find the
natulia [17]

Answer:

The value is   A =  2.80 *10^{-4} \  m^2

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The  operating temperature is  T  =  2450 \  K

The emissivity is  e =  0.350

 The  power rating is  P  =  200 \  W

Generally the area is mathematically represented as

      A = \frac{P}{ e *  \sigma  *  T^2}

Where  \sigma is the Stefan Boltzmann constant  with value  

      \sigma  =  5.67 *10^{-8} \  W/m^2\cdot K^4

So

     A =  \frac{200}{0.350 *  5.67*10^{-8} *  2450^{4}}

     A =  2.80 *10^{-4} \  m^2

what is the main reason that attitudes are more often revealed in spoken rather than written language
pishuonlain [190]
It's a combination of all those things. probably because we are taught from an early age to write in an academic fashion, giving balanced arguments and a conclusion. When speaking from the heart, there is no opposing argument nor is there a conclusion, just emotion.

A small rubber ball is launched by a compressed-air cannon from ground level with an initial speed of 11.8 m/s directly upward.
Fantom [35]

Answer:

7.09683 m

1.20285 s

2.4057 s

11.8 m/s

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s² (negative up, positive down)

From equation of motion we have

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{0^2-11.8^2}{2\times -9.81}\\\Rightarrow s=7.09683\ m

The maximum height above the ground that the ball reaches is 7.09683 m

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{v-u}{a}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{0-11.8}{-9.81}\\\Rightarrow t=1.20285\ s

Time taken to go up is 1.20285 s it will take the same time to come down so total time taken to reach the ground after it is shot is 1.20285+1.20285 = 2.4057 s

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow v=0+9.81\times 1.20285\\\Rightarrow v=11.8\ m/s

The velocity just before it hits the ground is 11.8 m/s
