A 25 kg block is held against a compressed spring and then the spring is allowed to decompress giving the block a velocity. The

Alex787 [66]

Answer:

h=18.05 cm

Explanation:

Given that

m= 25 kg

K= 1300 N/m

x=26.4 cm

θ= 19.5 ∘

When the block just leave the spring then the speed of block = v m/s

From energy conservation

$\dfrac{1}{2}Kx^2=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

$Kx^2=mv^2$

$v=\sqrt{\dfrac{kx^2}{m}}$

By putting the values

$v=\sqrt{\dfrac{kx^2}{m}}$

$v=\sqrt{\dfrac{1300\times 0.264^2}{25}}$

v=1.9 m/s

When block reach at the maximum height(h) position then the final speed of the block will be zero.

We know that

$V_f^2=V_i^2-2gh$

By putting the values

$0^2=1.9^2-2\times 10\times h$

h=0.1805 m

h=18.05 cm

The radii of the sprocket assemblies and the wheel of the bicycle in the figure are:

Furkat [3]

To solve this task we have to make a proportion, but firstly we have to set up all the main points : so, the distance is s=r(B), that has its <span>r=radius,B=angle in rad velocity v=ds/dt= w(r)
Do not forget about </span> w = angular speed in rad/s and $w1 = 1 revolution/sec = 2Pi (rad/s)$
Now we can go to proportion
$v1=v2$
$w1*r1 = w2r2$ $w2 = w1 * r1/r2 = 2w1 = 4Pi (rad/s)$
$w2 = w3 (which is the angular velocity of the rear wheel) 
$
SOLVING FOR A : $v3 = w3 * r3 = 4pi * 14 (inch/s) = 14.66 ft/sec$
$v3 = 14.66 ft/sec(1 mile/5280 ft)( 3600 sec/h)$ $= 9.99$ or something about <span>10 mph --- SOLVING FOR B.
</span>I'm sure it helps!

Two wheel gears are connected by a chain. The larger gear has a radius of 8 centimeters and the smaller gear has a radius of 3 c

dezoksy [38]

Answer:

B.The linear velocity of the gears is the same. The linear velocity is 432π centimeters per minute.

Explanation:

As we know that the small gear completes 24 revolutions in 20 seconds

so the angular speed of the smaller gear is given as

$\omega = 2\pi\frac{24}{20}$

$\omega = 2.4\pi rad/s$

Now we know that the tangential speed of the chain is given as

$v = r \omega$

so we have

$v = (3 cm)(2.4\pi)$

$v = 7.2 \pi cm/s$

$v = 432\pi cm/min$

Since both gears are connected by same chain so both have same linear speed and hence correct answer will be

B.The linear velocity of the gears is the same. The linear velocity is 432π centimeters per minute.

A test charge of 13 mC is at a point P where an external electric field is directed to the right and has a magnitude of 4 3 106

LenKa [72]

Answer:

The magnitude of the external electric field at P will reduce to 2.26 x 10⁶ N/C, but the direction is still to the right.

Explanation:

From coulomb's law, F = Eq

Thus,

F = E₁q₁

F = E₂q₂

Then

E₂q₂ = E₁q₁

$E_2 = \frac{E_1q_1}{q_2}$

where;

E₂ is the external electric field due to second test charge = ?

E₁ is the external electric field due to first test charge = 4 x 10⁶ N/C

q₁ is the first test charge = 13 mC

q₂ is the second test charge = 23 mC

Substitute in these values in the equation above and calculate E₂.

$E_2 = \frac{4*10^6*13}{23} = 2.26 *10^6 \ N/C$

The magnitude of the external electric field at P will reduce to 2.26 x 10⁶ N/C when 13 mC test charge is replaced with another test charge of 23 mC.

However, the direction of the external field is still to the right.
