A 3.0 kg box is sliding along a frictionless horizontal surface with a speed of 1.8 m/s when it encounters a spring. (a) Determi

ne the force constant (in N/m) of the spring, if the box compresses the spring 6.6 cm before coming to rest.
(b) Determine the initial speed (in m/s) the box would need in order to compress the spring by 1.8 cm.

Answer:

a) k = 2231.40 N/m

b) v = 0.491 m/s

Explanation:

Let k be the spring force constant , x be the compression displacement of the spring and v be the speed of the box.

when the box encounters the spring, all the energy of the box is kinetic energy:

the energy relationship between the box and the spring is given by:

1/2(m)×(v^2) = 1/2(k)×(x^2)

    (m)×(v^2) = (k)×(x^2)

a) (m)×(v^2) = (k)×(x^2)

                 k = [(m)×(v^2)]/(x^2)

                 k = [(3)×((1.8)^2)]/((6.6×10^-2)^2)

                 k = 2231.40 N/m

Therefore, the force spring constant is 2231.40 N/m

b) (m)×(v^2) = (k)×(x^2)

             v^2 = [(k)(x^2)]/m

                 v =  \sqrt{ [(k)(x^2)]/m}

                 v = \sqrt{ [(2231.40)((1.8×10^-2)^2)]/(3)}

                    = 0.491 m/s

Answer:

(a) Spring constant k = 2231.4 N/m

(b) Velocity v = 0.49 m/sec

Explanation:

We have given mass of the box m = 3 kg

Speed v = 1.8 m/sec

(a) The spring is stretched by 6.6 cm so x = 6.6 cm = 0.066 m

From energy conservation we know that

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

\frac{1}{2}\times 3\times 1.8^2=\frac{1}{2}\times k\times 0.066^2

k=2231.40N/m

(b) Here the spring is stretched by 1.8 cm

So x = 1.8 cm = 0.018 m

From energy conservation we know that

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

\frac{1}{2}\times 3\times v^2=\frac{1}{2}\times 2231.40\times 0.018^2

v=0.49m/sec

A small electronic device is rated at 0.16 W when connected to 115 V. What is the resistance of this device?
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

150156.25 Ω

Explanation:

Resistance: This can be defined as the opposition to the flow of electric current in a circuit. The S.I unit of resistance is Ohm's (Ω)

The expression for resistance is given as

P = V²/R................ equation 1

Where P = power, V = Voltage, R = Resistance.

Making R the subject of the equation,

R = V²/P.................. Equation 2

Given: V = 115 V , P = 0.16 W.

Substitute into equation 2

R = 155²/0.16

R = 150156.25 Ω

Hence,

The resistance = 150156.25 Ω

mixas84 [53]

Answer:

#_photon = 5 10²⁰ photons / s

Explanation:

For this exercise let's calculate the energy of a single quantum of energy, use Planck's law

         E = h f

         c= λ f

         E = h c / λ

          λ= 1000 nm (1 m / 109 nm) = 1000 10⁻⁹ m

Let's calculate

          E₀ = 6.6310⁻³⁴ 3 10⁸/1000 10⁻⁹

          E₀ = 19.89 10⁻²⁰ J

This is the energy emitted by a photon let's use a proportions rule to find the number emitted in P = 100 w

                #_photon = P / E₀

               #_photon = 100 / 19.89 10⁻²⁰

              #_photon = 5 10²⁰ photons / s
