A 31 kg crate full of very cute kittens is placed on an incline that is 17° below the horizontal. The crate is connected to a sp

ring that is anchored to a vertical wall, such that the spring is parallel to the surface of the incline.
a. If the crate was connected to the spring at equilibrium length, and then allowed to stretch the spring until the crate comes to rest, determine the spring constant. Assume that the incline is frictionless and that the change in length of the spring is 2.13 m.
b. If there is friction between the incline and the crate, would the spring stretch more, or less than if the incline is frictionless? You must use concepts pertaining to work and energy to receive full credit.

Answer:

Explanation:

Change in length of spring = 2.13 m

Component of weight acting on spring = mg sinθ

so

mg sinθ = k x where k is spring constant and x is total stretch due to force on the spring.

Here x = 2.13

mg sin17 = k x 2.13

31 x 9.8 sin17 = k x 2.13

k = 41.7 N/m

b ) In case surface had friction , spring would have stretched by less distance .

It is so because , the work done by gravity in stretching down is stored as potential energy in  spring . In case of dissipative force like friction , it also takes up some energy in the form of heat etc  so spring stretches less.

Calculate the standard electrode potential difference (e°) of the daniell cell (at 1 bar) if temperature is 473.15 k.
anzhelika [568]
Missing data in the text of the exercise: The molar concentration of Zinc is 10 times the molar concentration of copper.

Solution:

1) First of all, let's calculate the standard electrode potential difference at standard temperature. This is given by:
E^0=E_{cat}^0-E_{an}^0
where E_{cat}^0 is the standard potential at the cathode, while E_{an}^0 is the standard potential at the anode. For a Daniel Cell, at the cathode we have copper: E_{Cu}^0=+0.34 V, while at the anode we have zinc: E_{Zn}^0=-0.76 V. Therefore, at standard temperature the electrode potential difference of the Daniel Cell is
E^0=+0.34 V-(-0.76 V)=+1.1 V

2) To calculate E^0 at any temperature T, we should use Nerst equation:
E^0(T)=E^0- \frac{R T}{z F} \ln  \frac{[Zn]}{[Cu]}
where 
R=8.31 J/(K mol)
T=473.15 K is the temperature in our problem
z=2 is the number of electrons transferred in the cell's reaction
F=9.65\cdot 10^4 C/mol is the Faraday's constant
[Zn] and [Cu] are the molar concentrations of zinc and in copper, and in our problem we have [Zn]=10[Cu].
Using all these data inside the equation, and using E^0=+1.1 V, in the end we find:
E^0(T)=E^0- \frac{R T}{z F} \ln \frac{[Zn]}{[Cu]}=+1.053 V

What is the magnitude of the sum of the two vectors A = 36 units at 53 degrees, and B =47 units at 157 degrees.
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

51.82

Explanation:

First of all, let's convert both vectors to cartesian coordinates:

Va = 36 < 53° = (36*cos(53), 36*sin(53))

Va = (21.67, 28.75)

Vb = 47 < 157° = (47*cos(157), 47*sin(157))

Vb = (-43.26, 18.36)

The sum of both vectors will be:

Va+Vb = (-21.59, 47.11)   Now we will calculate the module of this vector:

|Va+Vb| = \sqrt{(-21.59)^2+(47.11)^2}=51.82

Which describes how to generate a real image of an object using a concave mirror?The object must be closer to the mirror than th
iren2701 [21]
In order to form a real image using a concave mirror, the object must be placed beyond the center of curvature of the mirror. Therefore, the object must be further from the mirror than the focal point. The image that will form will be real, but it will also be inverted and its magnification will be less than 1, meaning it will be smaller than the actual object.
