Answer:

a) W_{g}=mdx = 0.21 kg *9.8\frac{m}{s^2} 0.10m=0.2058 J

b) W_{spring}= -\frac{1}{2} Kx^2 =-\frac{1}{2} 200 N/m (0.1m)^2=-1 J

c) V_i =\sqrt{2 \frac{W_g + W_{spring}}{0.21 kg}}}=\sqrt{2 \frac{(1-0.2058)}{0.21 kg}}}=2.75m/s

d)  d_1 =0.183m or 18.3 cm

Explanation:

For this case we have the following system with the forces on the figure attached.

We know that the spring compresses a total distance of x=0.10 m

Part a

The gravitational force is defined as mg so on this case the work donde by the gravity is:

W_{g}=mdx = 0.21 kg *9.8\frac{m}{s^2} 0.10m=0.2058 J

Part b

For this case first we can convert the spring constant to N/m like this:

2 \frac{N}{cm} \frac{100cm}{1m}=200 \frac{N}{m}

And the work donde by the spring on this case is given by:

W_{spring}= -\frac{1}{2} Kx^2 =-\frac{1}{2} 200 N/m (0.1m)^2=-1 J

Part c

We can assume that the initial velocity for the block is Vi and is at rest from the end of the movement. If we use balance of energy we got:

W_{g} +W_{spring} = K_{f} -K_{i}=0- \frac{1}{2} m v^2_i

And if we solve for the initial velocity we got:

V_i =\sqrt{2 \frac{W_g + W_{spring}}{0.21 kg}}}=\sqrt{2 \frac{(1-0.2058)}{0.21 kg}}}=2.75m/s

Part d

Let d1 represent the new maximum distance, in order to find it we know that :

-1/2mV^2_i = W_g + W_{spring}

And replacing we got:

-1/2mV^2_i =mg d_1 -1/2 k d^2_1

And we can put the terms like this:

\frac{1}{2} k d^2_1 -mg d_1 -1/2 m V^2_i =0

If we multiply all the equation by 2 we got:

k d^2_1 -2 mg d_1 -m V^2_i =0

Now we can replace the values and we got:

200N/m d^2_1 -0.21kg(9.8m/s^2)d_1 -0.21 kg(5.50 m/s)^2) =0

200 d^2_1 -2.058 d_1 -6.3525=0

And solving the quadratic equation we got that the solution for d_1 =0.183m or 18.3 cm because the negative solution not make sense.

2) If the current in any circuit reach to infinity then its resistance becomes
sveta [45]

Given that,

Current = ∞

We know that,

Ohm's law :

Ohm's law is defined as,

The voltage of the circuit is directly proportional to the current of the circuit.

V\propto I

Or,

The voltage of the circuit is equal to the product of current and resistance.

In mathematically,

V=IR

Where, V = voltage

I = current

R = resistance

According to ohm's law,

The current in the circuit is

I=\dfrac{V}{R}

If the current is very less then the resistance will be infinity.

If the is reach to infinity then the resistance will be very low.

Hence, The resistance becomes very low.

A student on an amusement park ride moves in a circular path with a radius of 3.5 meters once every 8.9 seconds. What is the ave
Ulleksa [173]
Distance traveled by him = circumference of that circular path = 2πr = 2π(3.5)
= 7π = 7×3.14 = 21.98 m
time = 8.9 s  [ Given ]

Now, Average speed = distance / time
s = 21.98 / 8.9
s = 2.46 m/s

Hope this helps!

Newton's third law can be summarized as "every action has an equal and opposite reaction". In this problem, consider the action
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

Action force: Would be the force of your feet against the Earth given by the weight defined as:

W = mg

Where g is a constat who represent the gravity g =9.8 m/s^2 in Earth

Reaction force: Would be the force of the Earth pushing against your feet. And on this case is represented by the normal force defined as:

N = \mu f_f

Where \mu represent the friction coefficient between the ground and the object.

And f_f the friction force.

If we don't have any other forces involved in the y axis we can conclude that:

W=N= mg

And as we can see we have that Action force = Reaction force

So then the third Law of Newton is satisfied.

Explanation:

For this case we have this:

Action force: Would be the force of your feet against the Earth given by the weight defined as:

W = mg

Where g is a constat who represent the gravity g =9.8 m/s^2 in Earth

Reaction force: Would be the force of the Earth pushing against your feet. And on this case is represented by the normal force defined as:

And f_f the friction force.

And as we can see we have that Action force = Reaction force

So then the third Law of Newton is satisfied.
