Answer:

The amount of work done required to stretch spring by additional 4 cm is 64 J.

Explanation:

The energy used for stretching spring is given by the relation :

E = \frac{1}{2}kx^{2}           .......(1)

Here k is spring constant and x is the displacement of spring from its equilibrium position.

For stretch spring by 2.0 cm or 0.02 m, we need 8.0 J of energy. Hence, substitute the suitable values in equation (1).

8 = \frac{1}{2}\timesk\times k \times(0.02)^{2}

k = 4 x 10⁴ N/m

Energy needed to stretch a spring by 6.0 cm can be determine by the equation (1).

Substitute 0.06 m for x and 4 x 10⁴ N/m for k in equation (1).

E = \frac{1}{2}\times4\times10^{4}\times (0.06)^{2}

E = 72 J

But we already have 8.0 J. So, the extra energy needed to stretch spring by additional 4 cm is :

E = ( 72 - 8 ) J = 64 J

Ben hit a 0.25kg nail into a wood with a 5.2kg hammer. If the hammer moves witht the speed of 52 m/s and two fifth of its kineti
Art [367]

Answer:

Explanation:

Mass of nails is 0.25kg

Mass of hammer 5.2kg

Speed of hammer is =52m/s

Then, Ben kinetic energy is given as

K.E= ½mv²

K.E= ½×5.2×52²

K.E= 7030.4J

Given that, two-fifth of kinetic energy is converted to internal energy

Internal energy (I.E) = 2/5 × K.E

Internal energy (I.E) = 2/5 × 7030.4

I.E=2812.16J.

Energy increase is total Kinetic energy - the internal energy

∆Et= K.E-I.E

∆Et= 7030.4 - 2812.16

∆Et= 4218.24J
