A 20-newton weight is attached to a spring.

Physics
1 answer:
Makovka662 [10]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

40 N/m

Explanation:

The diagram attached is used to answer the question

We know from Hooke's law that extension is directly proportional to the applied force hence

F=kx where x is extension, F is applied force and k is the spring constant. Making k the subject of the formula then

k=\frac {F}{k}

From the attached diagram extension is given by subtracting unstretched spring from stretched spring hence extension, x=1-0.5=0.5m

Substituting 20 N for F and 0.5 m for x then

k=\frac {20}{0.5}=40 N/m

For a magnetic field strength of 2T, estimate the magnitude of the maximum force on a 1-mm-long segment of a single cylindrical
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

Incomplete question

This is the complete question

For a magnetic field strength of 2 T, estimate the magnitude of the maximum force on a 1-mm-long segment of a single cylindrical nerve that has a diameter of 1.5 mm. Assume that the entire nerve carries a current due to an applied voltage of 100 mV (that of a typical action potential). The resistivity of the nerve is 0.6ohms meter

Explanation:

Given the magnetic field

B=2T

Lenght of rod is 1mm

L=1/1000=0.001m

Diameter of rod=1.5mm

d=1.5/1000=0.0015m

Radius is given as

r=d/2=0.0015/2

r=0.00075m

Area of the circle is πr²

A=π×0.00075²

A=1.77×10^-6m²

Given that the voltage applied is 100mV

V=0.1V

Given that resistive is 0.6 Ωm

We can calculate the resistance of the cylinder by using

R= ρl/A

R=0.6×0.001/1.77×10^-6

R=339.4Ω

Then the current can be calculated, using ohms law

V=iR

i=V/R

i=0.1/339.4

i=2.95×10^-4 A

i=29.5 mA

The force in a magnetic field of a wire is given as

B=μoI/2πR

Where

μo is a constant and its value is

μo=4π×10^-7 Tm/A

Then,

B=4π×10^-7×2.95×10^-4/(2π×0.00075)

B=8.43×10^-8 T

Then, the force is given as

F=iLB

Since B=2T

F=iL(2B)

F=2.95×10^-4×2×8.34×10^-8

F=4.97×10^-11N

. Rohit had only one light source in his room. He was told by his friend that he can make the room more lighted by using mirror.
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

very smooth and polished glass mirror

Explanation:

The best type of mirror for this would be a very smooth and polished glass mirror. A metal mirror will also work but it would need to be extremely polished. This would allow light to efficiently be reflected across the room, thus effectively adding an "extra" light source to the room. If the mirror is not smooth then the light may become distorted and not reflect properly as it is supposed to. This may defeat the entire purpose of the mirror for this scenario.

<h2>a) Displacement of penny = 1300 i + 2400 j - 640 k</h2><h2>b) Magnitude of his displacement = 2729.47 m</h2>

Explanation:

a) He walks 1300 m east, 2400 m north, and then drops the penny from a cliff 640 m high.

1300 m east = 1300 i

2400 m north = 2400 j

Drops the penny from a cliff 640 m high = -640 k

Displacement of penny = 1300 i + 2400 j - 640 k

b) Displacement of man for return trip = -1300 i - 2400 j

    \texttt{Magnitude = }\sqrt{(-1300)^2+(-2400)^2}=2729.47m

    Magnitude of his displacement = 2729.47 m

An archer tests various arrowheads by shooting arrows at a pumpkin that is suspended from a tree branch by a rope, as shown to t
erik [133]

Answer:

Bounce 1 ,  pass 3,   emb2

Explanation:

(By the way I am also doing that question on College board physics page) For the Bounce arrow, since it bumps into the object and goes back, it means now it has a negative momentum, which means a larger momentum is given to the object. P=mv, so the velocity is larger for the object, and larger velocity means a larger kinetic energy which would result in a larger change in the potential energy. Since K=0.5mv^2=U=mgh, a larger potential energy would have a larger change in height which means it has a larger angle θ with the vertical line. Comparing with the "pass arrow" and the "Embedded arrow", the embedded arrow gives the object a larger momentum, Pi=Pf (mv=(M+m)V), it gives all its original momentum to the two objects right now. (Arrow and the pumpkin), it would have a larger velocity. However for the pass arrow, it only gives partial of its original momentum and keeps some of them for the arrow to move, which means the pumpkin has less momentum, means less velocity, and less kinetic energy transferred into the potential energy, and means less change in height, less θangle.  So it is  Bounce1, pass3, emb2.
