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

What will occur when the waves peak at the same place at the same time?
dedylja [7]
Hello!

This is a matter of superposition.
When the waves peak at the same time and place, they produce constructive interference, meaning the waves interact together in a positive way, to make a wave with Amplitude of both waves added together. When the peaks differ however, at the same time and place, then it is destructive interference and the waves essentially cancel each other out.

Hope this helps. Any questions please just ask. Thank you kindly.

Use the definition of scalar product, a overscript right-arrow endscripts times b overscript right-arrow endscripts = ab cos θ,
makkiz [27]

Answer: \theta=cos^{-1}0.991=7.69^o

The following vectors have been given: \vec{a}=3.0\widehat{i}+3.0\widehat{j}+3.0\widehat{k}\\ \vec{b}=5.0\widehat{i}+7.0\widehat{j}+6.0\widehat{k}

The angle between these two vectors can be found by:

cos\theta=\frac{\vec{a}.\vec{b}}{||\vec{a}|| ||\vec{b}||}\\
||\vec{a}=\sqrt{a_x^2+a_y^2+a_z^2}

\vec{a}.\vec{b}=a_xb_x+a_yb_y+a_zb_z\\ \vec{a}.\vec{b}=3\times5+3\times7+3\times6=15+21+18=54

||\vec{a}||=\sqrt{3^2+3^2+3^2}=\sqrt{27}\\ ||\vec{b}||=\sqrt{5^2+7^2+6^2}=\sqrt{110}

cos\theta=\frac{54}{\sqrt{27}\times\sqrt{110}}\\=0.991\\ \Rightarrow \theta=cos^{-1}0.991=7.69^o

What is the original source of hydroelectric energy
tangare [24]

Differences in land elevation result in rainfall runoff, and allow some of the original solar energy to be captured as hydro-electric power (Figure 1). Hydro power is currently the world's largest renewable source of electricity, accounting for 6% of worldwide energy supply or about 15% of the world's electricity.

hope this helps
