A mass, M, is at rest on a frictionless surface, connected to an ideal horizontal spring that is unstretched. A person extends t

he spring 30 cm from equilibrium and holds it at this location by applying a 10 N force. The spring is brought back to equilibrium and the mass connected to it is now doubled to 2M. If the spring is extended back 30 cm from equilibrium, what is the necessary force applied by the person to hold the mass stationary there

Answer:

The necessary force applied by the person to hold the mass stationary there is 10 N

Explanation:

We are told that this person extends the spring 30 cm from equilibrium and holds it at this location by applying a 10 N force.

Thus, based on Hooke's law formula which is F = k Δx, we can say that the mass attached to the spring does not change the spring constant. Thus, the

same resistive spring force will still be in place and in turn, the same stretching force of 10N would still be required.

Thus;

The necessary force applied by the person to hold the mass stationary there is 10 N

The value of normal force as the slider passes point B is

  • 6 mg

The value of h when the normal force is zero

  • 3R/2

<h3>How to solve for the normal force</h3>

The normal force is calculated using the work energy principle which is applied as below

K₁ + U₁ = K₂

k represents kinetic energy

U represents potential energy

the subscripts 1,2 , and 3 = a, b, and c

for 1 to 2

K₁ + W₁ = K₂

0 + mg(h + R) = 0.5mv²₂

g(h + R) = 0.5v²₂

v²₂ = 2g(1.5R + R)

v²₂ = 2g(2.5R)

v²₂ = 5gR

Using summation of forces at B

Normal force, N  = ma + mg

N = m(a + g)

N = m(v²₂/R + g)

N = m(5gR/R + g)

N = 6mg

for 1 to 3

K₁ + W₁ = K₃ + W₃

0 + mgh = 0.5mv²₃ + mgR

gh = 0.5v²₃ + gR

0.5v²₃ = gh - gR

v²₃ = 2g(h - R)

at C

for normal force to be zero

ma = mg

v²₃/R = g

v²₃ = gR

and v²₃ = 2g(h - R)

gR = 2gh - 2gR

gR + 2gR = 2gh

3gR = 2gh

3R/2 = h

Through what potential difference would you need to accelerate an alpha particle, starting from rest, so that it will just reach
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

\Delta V    = 1.8 \times 10^7 V

Explanation:

GIVEN

diameter = 15 fm  =15 \times 10^{-15}m

we use here energy conservation

K_{i}+U_{i} =K_{f}+U_{f}

there will be some initial kinetic  energy but after collision kinetic energy will zero

K_{i} + 0 = 0 + \frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon _{0}} \frac{(2e)(92e)}{7.5 \times 10^{-15}}

on solving these equations we get kinetic energy initial

KE_{i} = 5.65\times 10 ^{-12} \times \frac  {1 eV}{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}

KE_{i} = 35.33 J ..............(i)

That is, the alpha particle must be fired with 35.33 MeV of kinetic energy. An alpha particle with charge q = 2  e

and gains kinetic energy K  =e∆V  ..........(ii)

 by accelerating through a potential difference ∆V

Thus the alpha particle will

just reach the {238}_U nucleus after being accelerated through a potential difference  ∆V

equating (i) and second equation we get

e∆V  = 35.33 Me V

\Delta V = \frac{35.33}{2}  MV\\\Delta V    = 1.8 \times 10^7 V
