A bumper cart has a mass of 200 kg and has a protective bumper around it that behaves like a spring. The spring constant is 5000

n/m. If the cart is moving at a speed of 8 m/s towards a solid barrier, and upon impact, is momentarily brought to rest.
a) How much elastic potential energy will be stored in the spring when it is fully compressed?

b) What is the average force exerted by the spring if it is compressed by a distance of 0.2 meters?

Part A:
For this part we’re assuming all the kinetic energy of the moving bumper car is converted into elastic potential energy in the spring since the car is brought to rest. Therefore you can find the total kinetic energy to get your answer:

KE = ½ mv^2
KE = ½ (200)(8)^2
KE = 6400 J

Part B:
Now you can use Hooke’s law to find the force:

F = kx
F = (5000)(0.2)
F = 1000 N

A particle executes simple harmonic motion with an amplitude of 2.18 cm.
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

The positive displacement from the midpoint of its motion at the speed equal one half of its maximum speed is 3.56 cm.

Explanation:

Maximum speed is  :

                          v (max) = Aω

Speed v at any displacement y is given by  

v^{2} = w^{2} (A^{2} - y^{2})   ........................................................  i

And,

               v = \frac{1}{2} v (max)  

          or,  2 × v = Aω     ....................................................   ii

Eliminating  ω from equations i and ii,

                       \frac{1}{4} A^{2}  w^{2}  =  w^{2}  ( A^{2}  - y^{2})

                     or, y^{2} =  (\frac{3}{4}) A^{2}  =(\frac{3}{4}) 2.18^{2}

                    or,  y =  3.56 cm.

What is a synovial joint? (ANATOMY)
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

From Wikipedia:

"A synovial joint, also known as diarthrosis, joins bones or cartilage with a fibrous joint capsule that is continuous with the periosteum of the joined bones, constitutes the outer boundary of a synovial cavity, and surrounds the bones' articulating surfaces. The synovial cavity/joint is filled with synovial fluid."

A single-turn circular loop of wire of radius 65 mm lies in a plane perpendicular to a spatially uniform magnetic field. During
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

Explanation:

change in flux = no of turns x area of loop x change in magnetic field

= 1 x π 65² x 10⁻⁶ x ( 650 - 350 ) x 10⁻³

= 3.9 x 10⁻³ weber .

rate of change of flux  = change of flux / time

= 3.9 x 10⁻³ / .10

= 39 x 10⁻³ V

= 39 mV .

Since the magnetic flux is directed outside page and it is increasing , induced current will be clockwise so that magnetic field is produced in opposite direction to reduce it , as per Lenz's law.

What is true for ALL of the examples of electromagnetic waves? A) They all move at the same speed in a vacuum. B) They all have
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

<em>A statement that is true for ALL of the examples of electromagnetic waves is that;</em>

A) They all move at the same speed in a vacuum

<u>The reason for qualifying 'in vacuum' is because EM waves of different frequencies often propagate at different speeds through material. Generally speaking, we say that light travels in waves, and all electromagnetic radiation travels at the same speed which is about 3.0 * 108 meters per second through a vacuum.</u>
