Hello!

Using Hooke's law, F spring=k delta x, find the distance a spring with an elastic constant of 4 N/cm will stretch if a 2 newton force is applied to it.

Data:

Hooke represented mathematically his theory with the equation:

F = K * Δx  

On what:

F (elastic force) = 2 N

K (elastic constant) = 4 N/cm

Δx (deformation or elongation of the elastic medium or distance from a spring) = ?

Solving:


F = K * \Delta{x}

2\:N = 4\:N/cm*\Delta{x}

4\:N/cm*\Delta{x} = 2\:N

\Delta{x} = \dfrac{2\:\diagup\!\!\!\!\!N}{4\:\diagup\!\!\!\!\!N/cm}

simplify by 2

\Delta{x} = \dfrac{2}{4}\frac{\div2}{\div2}

\boxed{\boxed{\Delta{x} = \dfrac{1}{2}\:cm}}\Longleftarrow(distance)\end{array}}\qquad\checkmark

Answer:

B.) 1/2 cm

Suppose a nonconducting sphere, radius r2, has a spherical cavity of radius r1 centered at the sphere's center. Assuming the cha
leva [86]

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) Between r = 0 and r = r₁

Electric field will be zero . It is so because no charge lies in between r = 0 and r = r₁ .

b ) From r = r₁ to r = r₂

At distance r , charge contained in the sphere of radius r

volume charge density x 4/3 π r³

q = Q x r³ / R³

Applying Gauss's law

4πr² E = q / ε₀

4πr² E = Q x r³ / ε₀R³

E= Q x r / (4πε₀R³)

E ∝ r .

c )

Outside of r = r₂

charge contained in the sphere of radius r = Q

Applying Gauss's law

4πr² E = q / ε₀

4πr² E = Q  / ε₀

E = Q  / 4πε₀r²

E ∝ 1 / r² .

Dragsters can actually reach a top speed of 145.0 m/s in only 4.45 s. (a) Calculate the average acceleration for such a dragster
astraxan [27]

Answer:

a) 32.58 m/s²

b) 161.84 m/s

Explanation:

Initial velocity = u = 0

Final velocity = v = 145 m/s

Time taken = t = 4.45 s

s = Displacement of dragster = 402 m

a = Acceleration

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v-u}{t}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{145-0}{4.45}\\\Rightarrow a=32.58\ m/s^2

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2as-u^2}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 32.58\times 402-0^2}\\\Rightarrow v=161.84\ m/s

The final velocity is greater than the velocity used to find the average acceleration due to the gear changes. The first gear in a dragster has the most amount of toque which means the acceleration will be maximum. The final gears have less torque which means the acceleration is lower here. The final gears have less acceleration but can spin faster which makes the dragster able to reach higher speeds but slowly.

A soccer ball is released from rest at the top of a grassy incline. After 6.2 seconds, the ball travels 47 meters. One second la
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

(a) a = 2.44 m/s²

(b) s = 63.24 m

Explanation:

(a)

We will use the second equation of motion here:

s = v_it+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where,

s = distance covered = 47 m

vi = initial speed = 0 m/s

t = time taken = 6.2 s

a = acceleration = ?

Therefore,

47\ m = (0\ m/s)(6.2\ s)+\frac{1}{2}a(6.2\ s)^2\\\\a = \frac{2(47\ m)}{(6.2\ s)^2}

<u>a = 2.44 m/s²</u>

<u></u>

(b)

Now, we will again use the second equation of motion for the complete length of the inclined plane:

s = v_it+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where,

s = distance covered = ?

vi = initial speed = 0 m/s

t = time taken = 7.2 s

a = acceleration = 2.44 m/s²

Therefore,

s = (0\ m/s)(6.2\ s)+\frac{1}{2}(2.44\ m/s^2)(7.2\ s)^2\\\\

<u>s = 63.24 m</u>

A man performed 500 j of work moving a couch in his living room
Sergio039 [100]

Incomplete question. Missing part:

"it took him 10 seconds to move the couch. What was his power?"

Answer:

50 W

Explanation:

The power developed is given by:

P=\frac{W}{t}

where

W is the work done

t is the time taken

In this problem,

W = 500 J

t = 10.0 s

Substituting into the equation, we find

P=\frac{500}{10}=50 W
