ne the force constant (in N/m) of the spring, if the box compresses the spring 6.6 cm before coming to rest.

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

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

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

$v=0.49m/sec$

Describe how computer climate models help scientists understand possible future climate changes. How reliable are these computer

ExtremeBDS [4]

To predict future climate, scientists use computer programs called climate models to understand how our planet is changing. Climate models work like a laboratory in a computer. They allow scientists to study how different factors interact to influence a region's climate.

Now a new evaluation of global climate models used to project Earth's future global average surface temperatures over the past half-century answers that question: most of the models have been quite accurate.

Suppose that the speed of an electron traveling 2.0 km/s is known to an accuracy of 1 part in 105 (i.e., within 0.0010%). What i

OverLord2011 [107]

Answer: $2.89(10)^{-3} m$

Explanation:

The <u>Heisenberg uncertainty principle</u> postulates that the fact each particle has a wave associated with it, imposes restrictions on the ability to determine its position and speed at the same time.

In other words:

It is impossible to measure simultaneously (according to quantum physics), and with absolute precision, the value of the position and the momentum (linear momentum) of a particle. Thus, in general, the greater the precision in the measurement of one of these magnitudes, the greater the uncertainty in the measure of the other complementary variable.

Mathematically this principle is written as:

$\Delta x \geq \frac{h}{4 \pi m \Delta V}$ (1)

Where:

$\Delta x$ is the uncertainty in the position of the electron

$h=6.626(10)^{-34}J.s$ is the Planck constant

$m=9.11(10)^{-31}kg$ is the mass of the electron

$\Delta V$ is the uncertainty in the velocity of the electron.

If we know the accuracy of the velocity is $0.001\%$ of the velocity of the electron $V=2 km/s=2000 m/s$ , then $\Delta V$ is:

$\Delta V=2000 m/s(0.001\%)$

$\Delta V=2000 m/s(\frac{0.001}{100})$

$\Delta V=2(10)^{-2} m/s$ (2)

Now, the least possible uncertainty in position $\Delta x_{min}$ is:

$\Delta x_{min}=\frac{h}{4 \pi m \Delta V}$ (3)

$\Delta x_{min}=\frac{6.626(10)^{-34}J.s}{4 \pi (9.11(10)^{-31}kg) (2(10)^{-2} m/s)}$ (4)

Finally:

$\Delta x_{min}=2.89(10)^{-3} m$

A circular coil has a 18.0 cm radius and consists of 25.0 closely wound turns of wire. An externally produced magnetic field of

djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

The magnetic flux links to its turns = $7.6 \times10^{-3}$ Wb.

Explanation:

Given :

Radius of circular coil = $18 \times 10^{-2}$ m

Number of turns = 25

Magnetic field = $3 \times10^{-3}$ T

Magnetic flux (Φ) is a measure of the magnetic field lines passes through a given area. The unit of magnetic flux is weber (Wb).

We know that,

⇒ Φ = $BA$

Where $B =$ ext. magnetic field, $A =$ area of loop or coil.

But here given in question, we have turns of wire so our above eq. modified as follows.

⇒ Φ = $NBA$

Where $N =$ no. of turns.

∴ Φ = $25 \times 3 \times 10^{-3} \pi (18 \times10^{-2} )^{2}$

Φ = $7.6 \times 10^{-3} Wb$

Thus, the magnetic flux links to its turns = $7.6 \times 10^{-3} Wb$

Waves transport

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

d)energy

Explanation:

Waves can transfer energy over distance without moving matter the entire distance. For example, an ocean wave can travel many kilometers without the water itself moving many kilometers. The water moves up and down—a motion known as a disturbance. It is the disturbance that travels in a wave, transferring energy.
