A 3.7-kg block on a horizontal frictionless surface is attached to an ideal spring whose force constant (spring constant) is 450

n/m. the block is pulled from its equilibrium position at x = 0.000 m to a position x = +0.080 m and is released from rest. the block then executes simple harmonic motion along the horizontal x-axis. the maximum elastic potential energy of the system is closest to

The maximum elastic potential energy of the system occurs when the spring is at its largest displacement from its rest position, i.e. at \Delta x = 0.08 m-0 m=0.08 m. In this configuration, the elastic potential energy is given by
U= \frac{1}{2}k(\Delta x)^2= \frac{1}{2}(450 N/m)(0.08m)^2=144 J

An early submersible craft for deep-sea exploration was raised and lowered by a cable from a ship. When the craft was stationary
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

The tension in the cable when the craft was being lowered to the seafloor is 4700 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

When the craft was stationary, the tension in the cable was 6500 N.

When the craft was lowered or raised at a steady rate, the motion through the water added an 1800 N.

The drag force of 1800 N will act in the upward direction. As it was lowered or raised at a steady rate, so its acceleration is 0. As a result, net force is 0. So,

T + F = W

Here, T is tension

F = 1800 N

W = 6500 N

Tension becomes :

T=W-F\\\\T=6500-1800\\\\T=4700\ N

So, the tension in the cable when the craft was being lowered to the seafloor is 4700 N.

likoan [24]

Answer: 1175 J

Explanation:

Hooke's Law states that "the strain in a solid is proportional to the applied stress within the elastic limit of that solid."

Given

Spring constant, k = 102 N/m

Extension of the hose, x = 4.8 m

from the question, x(f) = 0 and x(i) = maximum elongation = 4.8 m

Work done =

W = 1/2 k [x(i)² - x(f)²]

Since x(f) = 0, then

W = 1/2 k x(i)²

W = 1/2 * 102 * 4.8²

W = 1/2 * 102 * 23.04

W = 1/2 * 2350.08

W = 1175.04

W = 1175 J

Therefore, the hose does a work of exactly 1175 J on the balloon

A machine can never be 100% efficient because some work is always lost due to what?
katrin [286]

A machine can never be 100% efficient because some work is always lost due to the lack of materials or equipment that would convert work by 100%. It follows the second law of entropy. The ideal engine is known as Carnot’s engine having a 100% efficiency. So far, no engine has ever gotten to 100%.

Light shines through a single slit whose width is 5.6 × 10-4 m. A diffraction pattern is formed on a flat screen located 4.0 m a
Mrac [35]

Answer:

462 nm

Explanation:

Given: width of the slit, d = 5.6 × 10⁻⁴ m

Distance of the screen, D = 4.0 m

Fringe width, β = 3.3 mm = 3.3 × 10⁻³ m

First dark fringe means n =1

Wavelength of the light, λ = ?

\beta = \frac{\lambda D}{d}\\ \Rightarrow \lambda = \frac{d \beta}{D} =\frac{5.6\times 10^{-4} \times 3.3 \times 10^{-3}}{4.0} = 4.62 \times 10^{-7}m = 462 nm
