The total mechanical energy of the block-spring system is given by the sum of the potential energy and the kinetic energy of the block:
E=U+K= \frac{1}{2}kx^2 + \frac{1}{2}mv^2
where
k is the spring constant
x is the elongation/compression of the spring
m is the mass of the block
v is the speed of the block

At the point of maximum displacement of the spring, the velocity of the block is zero: v=0, so the kinetic energy is zero and the mechanical energy is just potential energy of the spring:
E= \frac{1}{2}kA^2 (1)
where we used x=A, the amplitude (which is the maximum displacement of the spring).
Since we know 
A = 11.0 cm= 0.11 m
E = 1.10 J
We can re-arrange (1) to find the spring constant:
k= \frac{2E}{A^2} = \frac{2 \cdot 1.10 J}{(0.11 m)^2}=181.8 N/m

A fully loaded, slow-moving freight elevator has a cab with a total mass of 1250 kg, which is required to travel upward 49 m in
insens350 [35]

Answer:

659.01W

Explanation:

The cab has a mass of 1250 kg, the weight of the cab represented by Wc will be

Wc = mass of the cab × acceleration due to gravity in m/s²

Wc = 1250 × 9.81 = 12262.5 N

but the counter weight of the elevator represented by We = mass × acceleration due to gravity = 995 × 9.81 = 9760.95 N

Net weight = weight of the cab - counter weight of the elevator = Wc - We = 12262.5 - 9760.95 = 2501.55 N

the motor of the elevator will have to provide this in form of work

work done by the elevator to lift the cab to height of 49 m = net weight × distance (height) = 2501.55 × 49m

power provided by the motor of the elevator = workdone by the motor / time in seconds

Power = (2501.55 × 49) ÷ ( 3.1 × 60 seconds) = 659.01 W

What would you predict for this elephant's stride frequency? That is, how many steps per minute will the elephant take?
Sonja [21]
<span>` You can consider T to be in units of seconds/step. Frequency is the inverse of period, so 
1/T = frequency and has units of steps per second. There will be 60 times as many steps in a minute.</span>

An AC source is connected to a series combination of a light bulb and a variable capacitor. If the capacitance is increased, the
notsponge [240]

Answer:

Increases

Explanation:

Since power P=IV

Then it means when current increases, the power increases hence brightness increases. I represent current, P is power and v is voltage.

Current of capacitor when in series connection is given by

I=2\pi fCV

where I is current across capacitor, f is frequency, C is capacitance and v is voltage across capacitance. From this second formula, it is evident that an increase in capacitance increases the current across the capacitor. Therefore, if current increases, power also increases leading to an increase in brightness

In a certain region of space, a uniform electric field has a magnitude of 4.30 x 104 n/c and points in the positive x direction.
denis23 [38]
The magnetic force exerted by a field E to a charge q is given by F=Eq. In this case, F=4.30*10^4*(6.80mu C). 1mu C=10^-6C, so F=4.30*6.80=10^-2=0.29N. The direction is in the x direction, the direction that the field is applied because the charge is positive.

Answer:

b.) Length

Explanation:

The length of the string can be changed by removing it from the slotted bracket and placing it back  in. You can change the mass by varying the number of washers on the mass hanger. The amplitude  can be changed by varying the starting angle of the pendulum (low, medium, and high angle). sorry if wrong
