A certain spring is found not to obey Hooke’s law; it exerts a restoring force Fx(x)=−αx−βx2 if it is stretched or compressed, w

here α=60.0N/m and β=18.0N/m2. The mass of the spring is negligible. (a) Calculate the potential-energy function U(x) for this spring. Let U = 0 when x = 0. (b) An object with mass 0.900 kg on a frictionless, horizontal surface is attached to this spring, pulled a distance 1.00 m to the right (the +x-direction) to stretch the spring, and released. What is the speed of the object when it is 0.50 m to the right of the x = 0 equilibrium position?

Answer:U(x) = 30x^2 +6x^3

V^2=8.28m/s

Explanation:The law of conservation of energy is given by K1+U1= K2+U2 ...eq 1

Kinetic energy K.E= 1/2 mv^2

Restoring force function F(x)= -60x - 18x^2

But F(x)= -dU/dx

dU(x)=-F(x)dx

Integrating U(x)= -integral F(x)dx + U(0)

Substituting, we get

U(x) = - integral(-60x-18x^2)dx+U(0)

U(x)= 30x^2+6x^3+U(0)

U=0 at x=0

Therefore U(x)= 30x^2+6x^3

b) Given : x1=1.00m,x2= 0.50m ,V1=0, V2=?

Substituting into eq (a)

U1= 30(1.00)^2+6(1.00)^3=36J

Using x2=0.5 into eq(a)

U2=30(0.50)^2+6(0.50)^3=8.25J

Object at rest K1=0

0+36=K2+8.25

K2=27.75J

Given; m =0.900kg, V2=?

27.75=1/2×0.900×V2^2

V2= SQRT(2×27.75)/0.81

V2= 8.28m/s

Assume: The bullet penetrates into the block and stops due to its friction with the block. The compound system of the block plus
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

The total energy of the composite system is 7.8 J.

Explanation:

Given that,

Height = 0.15 m

Radius of circular arc = 0.27 m

Suppose, the entire track is friction less. a bullet with a m₁ = 30 g mass is fired horizontally into a block of wood with m₂ = 5.29 kg mass. the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s.

Calculate the total energy of the composite system at any time after the collision.

We need to calculate the total energy of the composite system

Total energy of the system at any time = Potential energy of the system at the stopping point

E=mgh+Mgh

E=(m+M)gh

Put the value in to the formula

E=(30\times10^{-3}+5.29)\times 9.8\times0.15

E=7.8\ J

Hence, The total energy of the composite system is 7.8 J.

Distinguish between directly proportional and inversely proportional with an example of each
RideAnS [48]

Consider two variables said to be "inversely proportional" to each other. If all other variables are held constant, the magnitude or absolute value of one inversely proportional variable decreases if the other variable increases, while their product (the constant of proportionality k) is always the same.

S = ut + 0.5at^2 

<span>10 = 0 + 0.5(9.81)t^2 {and if g = 10 then t^2 = 2 so t ~1.414}  </span>

<span>t^2 ~ 2.04 </span>

Molodets [167]
The answer would be “B” because humans would need water, protection from radiation so we don’t melt or burn to death lol, and a gaseous atmosphere because we would need oxygen.
