You start with spring that's already been stretched an unknown amount from equilibrium. After stretching it an additional 2.0 cm

, you find that the total potential energy associated with the spring is 18 J. You stretch it another 2.0 cm, and now the potential energy rises to 25 J. Find the spring constant.

Answer: 35*10^3 N/m

Explanation: In order to explain this problem we know that the potential energy for spring is given by:

Up=1/2*k*x^2 where k is the spring constant and x is the streching or compresion position from the equilibrium point for the spring.

We also know that with additional streching of 2 cm of teh spring, the potential energy is 18J. Then it applied another additional streching of 2 cm and the energy is 25J.

Then the difference of energy for both cases is 7 J so:

ΔUp= 1/2*k* (0.02)^2 then

k=2*7/(0.02)^2=35000 N/m

A 0.0400-g positive charged ball with charge q = 6.40 μC is resting on a flat, frictionless horizontal surface. For a time of t

Leto [7]

Answer:

The height is 0.1014 m

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass = 0.0400 g

Charge $q= 6.40\ \mu C$

Time t = 0.0420 s

Electric field $E=7.80\times10^{2}\ N/C$

We need to calculate the electric force on the particle

Using formula of electric force

$F=qE$

Put the value into the formula

$F_{e}=6.40\times10^{-6}\times7.80\times10^{2}$

$F_{e}=0.004992= 0.499\times10^{-2}\ N$

We need to calculate the gravitational force

Using formula of force

$F=mg$

Put the value into the formula

$F_{g}=0.0400\times10^{-3}\times9.8$

$F_{g}=0.000392 = 0.392\times10^{-3}\ N$

We need to calculate the net force

$F_{net}=F_{e}-F_{g}$

$F_{net}=0.499\times10^{-2}-0.392\times10^{-3}$

$F_{net}=0.004598= 0.4598\times10^{-2}\ N$

We need to calculate the acceleration

Using newton's law

$F = ma$

$a = \dfrac{F}{m}$

$a=\dfrac{0.4598\times10^{-2}}{0.0400\times10^{-3}}$

$a =114.95\ m/s^2$

We need to calculate the height

Using equation of motion

$s = ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2$

$s=0+\dfrac{1}{2}\times114.95\times(0.0420)^2$

$s=0.1014\ m$

Hence, The height is 0.1014 m

The closest stars are 4 light years away from us. How far away must you be from a 854 kHz radio station with power 50.0 kW for t

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

The distance from the radio station is 0.28 light years away.

Solution:

As per the question:

Distance, d = 4 ly

Frequency of the radio station, f = 854 kHz = $854\times 10^{3}\ Hz$

Power, P = 50 kW = $50\times 10^{3}\ W$

$I_{p} = 1\ photon/s/m^{2}$

Now,

From the relation:

P = nhf

where

n = no. of photons/second

h = Planck's constant

f = frequency

Now,

$n = \frac{P}{hf} = \frac{50\times 10^{3}}{6.626\times 10^{- 34}\times 854\times 10^{3}} = 8.836\times 10^{31}\ photons/s$

Area of the sphere, A = $4\pi r^{2}$

Now,

Suppose the distance from the radio station be 'r' from where the intensity of the photon is $1\ photon/s/m^{2}$

$I_{p} = \frac{n}{A} = \frac{n}{4\pi r^{2}}$

$1 = \frac{8.836\times 10^{31}}{4\pi r^{2}}$

$r = \sqrt{\frac{8.836\times 10^{31}}{4\pi}} = 2.65\times 10^{15}\ m$

Now,

We know that:

1 ly = $9.4607\times 10^{15}\ m$

Thus

$r = \frac{2.65\times 10^{15}}{9.4607\times 10^{15}} = 0.28\ ly$
