Answer:

Elastic potential energy, E = 3.26 J

Explanation:

It is given that,

Force constant of the spring, k = 5.2 N/m

Relaxed length of the spring, X = 2.45 m

When the mass is attached to the end of the spring, the vertical length of the spring is, x' = 3.57 m

To find,

The elastic potential energy stored in the spring.

Solution,

The extension in the length of the spring is given by :

x=x'-X

x=3.57\ m-2.45\ m

x = 1.12 m

The elastic potential energy of the spring is given by :

E=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2

E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 5.2\times (1.12)^2

E = 3.26 J

So, the elastic potential energy stored in the spring is 3.26 joules.

A rocket ship starts from rest and turns on its forward booster rockets causing it to have a constant acceleration of 4 meters p
bagirrra123 [75]

Complete question is;

A rocket ship starts from rest and turns on its forward booster rockets, causing it to have a constant acceleration of 4 m/s² rightward. After 3s, what will be the velocity of the rocket ship?

Answer:

v = 12 m/s

Explanation:

We are given;

Initial velocity; u = 0 m/s (because ship starts from rest)

Acceleration; a = 4 m/s²

Time; t = 3 s

To find velocity after 3 s, we will use Newton's first equation of motion;

v = u + at

v = 0 + (4 × 3)

v = 12 m/s

A whistle you use to call your hunting dog has a frequency of 21 kHz, but your dog is ignoring it. You suspect the whistle may n
uranmaximum [27]

The Doppler effect is the right concept to solve this problem. The Doppler effect is understood as the change in apparent frequency of a wave produced by the relative movement of the source with respect to its observer. Mathematically it can be described as,

f = (1-\frac{v_0}{v})f_0

Here,

f_0 = Frequency of the sound from the Whistle

f = Frequency of sound heard

v = Speed of the sound in the Air

Replacing we have that

1- \frac{v_0}{343} = \frac{20kHz}{21kHz}

\frac{v_0}{343} = 1-\frac{20}{21}

\frac{v_0}{343} = \frac{1}{21}

v_0 = \frac{1}{21}(343)

v_0 = 16.33m/s

Therefore the minimum speed to know if the whistle is working is 16.33m/s
