A 5.22×104 kg railroad car moves on frictionless horizontal rails until it hits a horizontal spring stopper with a force constan

t of 4.58×105 N/m . When the railroad car comes to a complete stop, the compression of the spring stopper is 32 cm . How fast was the railroad car initially?

To solve this problem we will apply the principles of conservation of energy, for which we have to preserve the initial kinetic energy as elastic potential energy at the end of the movement. If said equality is maintained then we can affirm that,

\text{Initial Energy}=\text{Final Energy}

\frac{1}{2} mv^2=\frac{1}{2} kx^2

Here,

m = mass

k = Spring constant

x = Displacement

v = Velocity

Rearranging to find the velocity,

mv^2 = kx^2

v^2 = \frac{kx^2}{m}

v = \sqrt{\frac{kx^2}{m}}

Our values are,

m = 5.22*10^4kg

k = 4.58*10^5N/m

x = 32cm = 0.32m

Replacing our values we have,

v = \sqrt{\frac{(4.58*10^5)(5.22*10^4)}{0.32}}

v = 2.733*10^5m/s

Therefore the velocity is 2.733*10^5m/s

A force F of magnitude 2x^3 is applied to stop a particle moving with an initial velocity of v0. The particle travels from x=0 t
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that

F=2x³

Work is given as

The range of x is from x=0 to x=D

W=-∫f(x)dx

Then,

W=-∫2x³dx from x=0 to x=D

W=- 2x⁴/4 from x=0 to x=D

W=-2(D⁴/4-0/4)

W=-D⁴/2

W=1/2D⁴

The correct answer is F

If the intensity level by 15 identical engines in a garage is 100 dB, what is the intensity level generated by each one of these
insens350 [35]

To develop this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Sound Intensity.

By definition the intensity is given by the equation

\beta = 10Log(\frac{I}{I_0})

Where,

I = Intensity of Sound

I_0= Intensity of Reference

At this case we have that 15 engines produces 15 times the reference intensity, that is

I= 15I_0

And the total mutual intensity is 100 dB, so we should

\beta = 100-10*log(\frac{15I_0}{I_0})

\beta = 100-10*log(15)

\beta = 100-11.76

\beta = 88.23dB

Therefore each one of these engines produce D. 88dB.
