A spring with a spring constant of 120 J/m2 is fixed to a wall, free to oscillate. On the other end, a ball with a mass of 1500

g is attached. The spring-mass is then stretched 50 cm, and released. What is the top speed of the attached ball? 0 A. 4.47 m/s B. 447 m/s C. 0.14 m/s D. 6.32 m/s

Answer:

A. 4.47 m/s

Explanation:

As the ball oscillates, it mechanical energy, aka the total kinetic and elastics energy stays the same. For the ball to be at maximum speed, its elastic energy i 0 and vice versa. When the ball is at rest, its kinetic energy is 0 and its elastic energy is at maximum at 50 cm, or 0.5 m

1500 g = 1.5 kg

E_e = E_k

kx^2/2 = mv^2/2

120*0.5^2/2 = 1.5*v^2/2

15 = 0.75v^2

v^2 = 15 / 0.75 = 20

v = \sqrt{20} = 4.47 m/s

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

0.3659

Explanation:

The power (p) is given as:

P = AeσT⁴

where,

A =Area

e = transmittivity

σ = Stefan-boltzmann constant

T = Temperature

since both the bulbs radiate same power

P₁ = P₂

Where, 1 denotes the bulb 1

2 denotes the bulb 2

thus,

A₁e₁σT₁⁴ = A₂e₂σT₂⁴

Now e₁=e₂

⇒A₁T₁⁴ = A₂T₂⁴

or

\frac{A_1}{A_2} =\frac{T_{2}^{4}}{T_{1}^{4}}

substituting the values in the above question we get

\frac{A_1}{A_2} =\frac{2100_{2}^{4}}{2700_{1}^{4}}

or

\frac{A_1}{A_2} }=0.3659

A Carnot engine has a power output of 150 kW. The engine operates between two reservoirs at 20.0°C and 500°
Nookie1986 [14]
Efficiency η of a Carnot engine is defined to be: 
<span>η = 1 - Tc / Th = (Th - Tc) / Th </span>
<span>where </span>
<span>Tc is the absolute temperature of the cold reservoir, and </span>
<span>Th is the absolute temperature of the hot reservoir. </span>

<span>In this case, given is η=22% and Th - Tc = 75K </span>
<span>Notice that although temperature difference is given in °C it has same numerical value in Kelvins because magnitude of the degree Celsius is exactly equal to that of the Kelvin (the difference between two scales is only in their starting points). </span>

<span>Th = (Th - Tc) / η </span>
<span>Th = 75 / 0.22 = 341 K (rounded to closest number) </span>
<span>Tc = Th - 75 = 266 K </span>

<span>Lower temperature is Tc = 266 K </span>
<span>Higher temperature is Th = 341 K</span>
