Answer:

3.0 x10^-3 J

Explanation:

The potential energy of a spring is given by PE = (0.5)k*x^2  

Where

K: Spring Constant = 60 N/m

x: displacement of the spring from its equilibrium position = 1cm = 0.01m

Then PE = 0.5(60)(.01)^2 = 0.003J = 3.0 x10^-3 J

Answer:

<em> The potential Energy stored in the spring = 0.003 J</em>

Explanation:

Potential Energy: This is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position. The ability to stretched or compressed an elastic material to do work is called the elastic potential energy. The unit of elastic potential energy is Joules (J).

Elastic potential energy can be represented mathematically as

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

Where W = Elastic potential Energy, k = force constant of the spring. e = extension.

<em>Given: k = 60 N/m, e = 1.0 cm = (1/100) m = 0.01 m.</em>

<em>Substituting these values into equation 1,</em>

<em>W = 1/2(60)(0.01)²</em>

<em>W = 30×0.0001</em>

<em>W = 0.003 J.</em>

<em>T</em><em>hus potential Energy stored in the spring = 0.003 J</em>

QUESTION 1 Linear Motion
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

48.51ms / 174.6 km/h

Explanation:

y = 1/2 x g x t^2         v = g x t          

when y = 120m

120 = 1/2 x 9.8 x t^2

t^2 = 24.49

t = 4.95s

when t = 4.95s

v = 9.8 x 4.95

v = 48.51 m/s = 174.6 km/h

I'd say its realistic. But I don't really know that sry

Can someone help me?
Cloud [144]

What do we know that might help here ?

-- Temperature of a gas is actually the average kinetic energy of its molecules.

-- When something moves faster, its kinetic energy increases.

Knowing just these little factoids, we realize that as a gas gets hotter, the average speed of its molecules increases.

That's exactly what Graph #1 shows.

How about the other graphs ?

-- Graph #3 says that as the temperature goes up, the molecules' speed DEcreases.  That can't be right.

-- Graph #4 says that as the temperature goes up, the molecules' speed doesn't change at all.  That can't be right.

-- Graph #2 says that after the gas reaches some temperature and you heat it hotter than that, the speed of the molecules starts going DOWN.  That can't be right.

Chapter 21, Problem 009 Two identical conducting spheres, fixed in place, attract each other with an electrostatic force of 0.12
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

a) -1.325 μC

b) 4.17μC

Explanation:

First, you need to know that charge is conserved. So, the adition of the charges, as there is no lost in charge, should always be the same. Also, after the wire is removed, both spheres will have the same charge, trying to find equilibrium. In summary:

q_1 + q_2 = constant\\q_1_f = q_2_f |Then\\q_1_f + q_2_f = 2q_1_f = q_1_o+q_2_o\\q_1_f = q_2_f = \frac{q_1_o+q_2_o}{2}

We know both q1f and q2f must be positive, because the negative charge at the beginning was the the smaller.

The electrostatic force is equal to:

F_e = k\frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}

K is the Coulomb constant, equal to 9*10^9 Nm^2/C^2

Now, we are told that the electrostatic force after the wire is equal to 0.0443 N:

F_e_f = k \frac{q_1_fq_2_f}{r^2} = k\frac{\frac{q_1_o+q_2_o}{2}\frac{q_1_o+q_2_o}{2}}{r^2} = k\frac{(q_1_o+q_2_o)^2}{4r^2}  \\(q_1_o+q_2_o) = \sqrt{\frac{F_e_f*4r^2}{k}} = \sqrt{\frac{0.0443N *4(0.641m)^2}{9*10^9Nm^2/C^2} } = 2.844 *10^{-6}C \\ q_1_o = 2.844*10^{-6}C - q_2_o

Originally, the force is negative because it was an attraction force, therefore, its direction was opposite to the direction of the repulsive force after the wire:

F_e_o = k\frac{q_1_oq_2_o}{r^2}\\ q_1_oq_2_o = \frac{F_e_o*r^2}{k} = \frac{-0.121N(0.641m)^2}{9*10^9Nm^2/C^2} = -5.524*10^{-12}

(2.844*10^{-6}C - q_2_o)q_2_o = -5.524*10^{-12}\\0 = q_2_o^2 - 2.844*10^{-6}q_2_o - 5.524*10^{-12}

Solving the quadratic equation:

q_2_o = 4.17*10^{-6}C | -1.325 * 10^{-6}C

for this values q_1 wil be:

q_1_o =  -1.325 *10^{-6}C | 4.17*10^{-6}C

So as you can see, the negative charge will always be -1.325 μC and the positive 4.17μC
