A 2.85 kg fish is attached to the lower end of a vertical spring that has negligible mass and force constant 875 N/m. The spring

initially is neither stretched nor compressed. The fish is released from rest.A)What is its speed after it has descended 0.0580 m from its initial position? B)What is the maximum speed of the fish as it descends?

Answer:

A) V = 0.324 m/s

B) V = 0.56 m/s

Explanation:

A) Change in gravitational potential energy = mass * gravity * height change

Change in G.P.E = 2.85 * 9.81 * 0.058 = 1.6215 J

Energy transferred to spring = 0.5 * k * x^2

Here k = 875 N/m

And x = 0.058 m

Thus energy transferred to spring = 1.47175 J

The G.P.E is converted to spring potential energy and kinetic energy as it moves down. So the difference in energy is accounted by kinetic energy as follows:

Kinetic energy = G.P.E - Spring P.E

Kinetic energy = 1.6215 - 1.47175 = 0.14975 J

We can now find the speed using this kinetic energy:

Kinetic energy = 0.14975

0.5 * mass * velocity^2 = 0.14975

0.5 * 2.85 * V^2 = 0.14975

V = 0.324 m/s

B) The fish accelerates because the force on it are unbalanced. These forces are the weight of the fish, and the force of the spring stopping it.

As long as the weight of the fish is more than the upward force of the spring, the fish will continue to accelerate. Using this knowledge, we can deduce that the speed is maximum when the weight and spring force are equal. Thus we set them equal and find out the displacement first:

Weight = spring force

2.85 * 9.81 = 875 * Displacement

Displacement = 0.03195 m

Similarly as (A):

Change in G.P.E = 2.85 * 9.81 * 0.03195 = 0.8933 J

Spring P.E = 0.5 * 875 * 0.03195^2 = 0.4466 J

Kinetic energy = 0.8933 - 0.4466 = 0.4467 J

0.5 * mass * V^2 = 0.4467

0.5 * 2.85 * V^2 = 0.4467

V = 0.56 m/s

How much conventional current must you run in a solenoid with radius = 0.05 m and length = 0.39 m to produce a magnetic field in
Ugo [173]

Answer:

Explanation:

radius of the solenoid, r = 0.05 m

length of the solenoid, l = 0.39 m

Magnetic field of the solenoid, B = 2 x 10^-5 T

Number of turns, N = 200

The magnetic field of the solenoid is given by

B=\mu _{0}ni

where, i be the current and n be the number of turns per unit length

n = N / l = 200 / 0.39 = 512.8

2\times 10^{-5}=4 \times 3.14\times 10^{-7}\times 512.8\times i

i = 0.031 A

Why can you see glass and your reflection
Schach [20]
<span>Glass is transparent meaning light passes through it and therefore you can see through it, but some light reflects back and if the surface is very smooth as glass often is then the light reflected back can be seen as a reflected image.</span>

Use the mass spectrum of europium to determine the atomic mass of europium. where the peak representing eu-151 has an exact mass
slavikrds [6]

Answer: The atomic mass of a Europium atom is 151.96445 amu.

From the given information:

Percent intensity is 91.61% of Europium atom of molecular weight 150.91986 amu.

Percent intensity is 100.00% of Europium atom of molecular weight 152.92138 amu.

Abundance of Eu-151 atom:

X_{Eu-151}=\frac{0.9161}{0.9161+1.000}=0.4781

Abundance of Eu-153 atom:

X_{Eu-153}=\frac{1.000}{0.9161+1.000}=0.5219

Atomic mass of Europium atom:

A=(X_{Eu-151}\times150.91986+X_{Eu-153}\times152.92138)amu\\A=(0.4781\times150.91986+0.5219\times152.92138)amu=151.96445 amu

Therefore, the atomic mass of a Europium atom is 151.96445 amu.
