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

Assume that in 2010 the United States will need 2.0×1012 watts of electric power produced by thousands of 1000 MW power plants.
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

1752.14 tonnes per year.

Explanation:

To solve this exercise it is necessary to apply the concepts related to power consumption and power production.

By conservation of energy we know that:

\dot{P} = \bar{P}

Where,

\dot{P} = Production of Power

\bar{P} = Consumption of power

Where the production of power would be,

\dot{P} = m \dot{E}\eta

Where,

m = Total mass required

\dot{E} = Energy per Kilogram

\eta =Efficiency

The problem gives us the aforementioned values under a production efficiency of 45%, that is,

\dot{P} = \bar{P}

m \dot{E}\eta = \bar{P}

Replacing the values we have,

m(8*10^13)(0.45) = 2*10^{12}

Solving for m,

m = \frac{ 2*10^{12}}{(8*10^13)(0.45)}

m = 0.0556 \frac{kg}{s}

We have the mass in kilograms and the time in seconds, we need to transform this to tons per year, then,

m = 0.556\frac{kg}{s}*(\frac{3.1536*10^7s}{1year})(\frac{1ton}{1000kg})

m = 1752.14tonnes per year.
