(a) 2446 N/m

When the spring is at its maximum displacement, the elastic potential energy of the system is equal to the total mechanical energy:

E=U=\frac{1}{2}kA^2

where

U is the elastic potential energy

k is the spring constant

A is the maximum displacement (the amplitude)

Here we have

U = E = 50.9 J

A = 0.204 m

Substituting and solving the formula for k,

k=\frac{2E}{A^2}=\frac{2(50.9)}{(0.204)^2}=2446 N/m

(b) 50.9 J

The total mechanical energy of the system at any time during the motion is given by:

E = K + U

where

K is the kinetic energy

U is the elastic potential energy

We know that the total mechanical energy is constant: E = 50.9 J

We also know that at the equilibrium point, the elastic potential energy is zero:

U=\frac{1}{2}kx^2=0 because x (the displacement) is zero

Therefore the kinetic energy at the equilibrium point is simply equal to the total mechanical energy:

K=E=50.9 J

(c) 8.55 kg

The maximum speed of the block is v = 3.45 m/s, and it occurs when the kinetic energy is maximum, so when

K = 50.9 J (at the equilibrium position)

Kinetic energy can be written as

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where m is the mass

Solving the equation for m, we find the mass:

m=\frac{2K}{v^2}=\frac{2(50.9)}{(3.45)^2}=8.55 kg

(d) 2.14 m/s

When the displacement is

x = 0.160 m

The elastic potential energy is

U=\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{2}(2446)(0.160)^2=31.3 J

So the kinetic energy is

K=E-U=50.9 J-31.3 J=19.6 J

And so we can find the speed through the formula of the kinetic energy:

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2 \rightarrow v=\sqrt{\frac{2K}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(19.6)}{8.55}}=2.14 m/s

(e) 19.6 J

The elastic potential energy when the displacement is x = 0.160 m is given by

U=\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{2}(2446)(0.160)^2=31.3 J

And since the total mechanical energy E is constant:

E = 50.9 J

the kinetic energy of the block at this point is

K=E-U=50.9 J-31.3 J=19.6 J

(f) 31.3 J

The elastic potential energy stored in the spring at any time is

U=\frac{1}{2}kx^2

where

k = 2446 N/m is the spring constant

x is the displacement

Substituting

x = 0.160 m

we find the elastic potential energy:

U=\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{2}(2446)(0.160)^2=31.3 J

(g) x = 0

The postion at that instant is x = 0, since it is given that at that instant  the system passes the equilibrium position, which is zero.

A solid cylinder of uniform density of 0.85 g/cm3 floats in a glass of water tinted light blue by food coloring.
SVEN [57.7K]

Each side has to have at least 44 horses

F61160 N. This is further explained below.

<h3>What is the force?</h3>

Generally, We are only interested in the component that operates horizontally since the vertical components all cancel each other out. The pressure difference works on the hemisphere to generate a normal force all over the surface, but we are only concerned with that force's horizontal component. This may be determined by supposing the hemispheres to be two flat circular plates of the same radius as the hemispheres that have been forced together.

Therefore, force is equal to pressure multiplied by area, which is

F= (970 -15 )( * (0.45 m)2)

F=60754 N for each side.

Therefore, each side has to have at least 44 horses

44* 1390 = 61160 N

What is true for solar, wind, and geothermal energy?
miss Akunina [59]
In the question "What is true for solar, wind, and geothermal energy?" The correct answer is that they are all renewable energy.
Solar energy is energy that comes from the heat from the sun.
Wind energy is the energy that is generated from the wind.
Geothermal energy energy is the energy that comes from the heat from the earth.
