To stretch a certain nonlinear spring by an amount x requires a force F given by F = 40 x − 6 x 2 , where F is in Newtons and x

is in meters. What is the change in potential energy ∆U when the spring is stretched 2 meters from its equilibrium position?

Answer:

90 J

Explanation:

Change in potential energy when the spring is stretched

ΔU = ∫[(F) dx]................... Equation 1

Where F = 40x-6x²

Substitute into equation 1

ΔU = ∫[40x-6x²]

ΔU = [40x²/2 + 6x³/3 +C]

ΔU = [20x²+2x³ +C]

If the spring is stretch from x = 0m to x = 2m

ΔU = [20×2²+2×2³+C]-[20×0²+2×0³+C]

ΔU = [80+16+C]-[C]

ΔU = 90 J.

Hence the change in potential energy of the spring = 90 J

An object is floating in equilibrium on the surface of a liquid. The object is then removed and placed in another container, fil
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

The fraction of its volume inside liquid  is increased .

Explanation:

According to principle pf floatation , an object floats on the surface of water

when the weight of  liquid displaced by it becomes equal to weight of the object . weight of the liquid depends upon the density of the liquid .

In the second case , when the body is dipped into liquid of lesser density , in order to balance the weight of body , more volume of liquid will be displaced so that weight of displaced liquid becomes equal to object's weight . So the body floats with greater depth inside liquid . The fraction of its volume inside liquid  is increased .

pickupchik [31]
In a real system of levers, wheels, or pulleys, the AMA is less than the IMA because of friction. 
AMA (Actual mechanical advantage) is found by dividing output force by effort force. The actual mechanical advantage will always be less than the ideal mechanical advantage. The ideal mechanical advantage assumes perfect efficiency which doesn't account for friction, while actual mechanical advantage does. Therefore; the IMA is always greater than the actual mechanical advantage because all machines must overcome friction.

How come in free fall you feel weightless even though gravity is pulling down on you?
AysviL [449]
Feeling of Weight.

When walking, you feel the weight on your feet, therefore, your brain automatically refers to it as a source of weight.

In the air there is no platform to land on, therefore the brain does not have the conscience to register you getting pulled down.
