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.

A 110 V power line is protected by a 15 A fuse. What is the maximum number of 400 W lamps that can be simultaneously operated in
Nitella [24]

Answer:

Total number of lamps will be 4            

Explanation:

We have given power of the lamp W = 400 watt

Potential difference across the lamp V=110 volt

We know that power is equal to P=VI

So 400=110\times I

I=3.636A

Total current is given 15 A

As it is given that lamps are connected in parallel so total current is the sum of current through each lamp

So number of lamp will be n=\frac{15}{3.636}=4.125

As the lamp can not be in negative

So total number of lamps will be 4

Ashley squirrel, named Jackie, rides on a bicycle with a constant kinetic energy of 3.6J. The mass of combination of Jackie and
yKpoI14uk [10]

The velocity of the combination of Jackie and the bicycle is 3.328 m/s.

Explanation:

From the given data the constant kinetic energy is 3.6 J. The mass of combination is 0.65 kg. To find the velocity of the combination of Jackie and the bicycle the formula  is

KE = 0.5 x mv2.

To find velocity,

V2=ke/(0.5×m)

V=\sqrt{(ke/(0.5*m)

v= 3.6/(0.5×0.65)

=\sqrt (11077/10)/10

v= 3.328 m/s

Hence, the velocity of the combination of Jackie and the bicycle is 3.328m/s.
