Answer:

x is the displacement of spring

Explanation:

The Hooke's law gives the force acting on the spring when it is compressed or stretched. The mathematical expression for force is given by :

F=-kx

Where

k is the spring constant of and it shows the stiffness of spring.

x shows the displacement of spring when it is stretched or compressed from equilibrium position and it acts in opposite direction.

it takes 90 j of work to stretch a spring 0.2 m from its equilibrium position. How muc work is needed to stretch it an additiona
Vinvika [58]

Work needed: 720 J

Explanation:

The work needed to stretch a spring is equal to the elastic potential energy stored in the spring when it is stretched, which is given by

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

where

k is the spring constant

x is the stretching of the spring from the equilibrium position

In this problem, we have

E = 90 J (work done to stretch the spring)

x = 0.2 m (stretching)

Therefore, the spring constant is

k=\frac{2E}{x^2}=\frac{2(90)}{(0.2)^2}=4500 N/m

Now we can find what is the work done to stretch the spring by an additional 0.4 m, that means to a total displacement of

x = 0.2 + 0.4 = 0.6 m

Substituting,

E'=\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{2}(4500)(0.6)^2=810 J

Therefore, the additional work needed is

\Delta E=E'-E=810-90=720 J

Suppose the entire population of the world gathers in ONE spot and everyone jumps at the sound of a prearranged signal. While ev
puteri [66]

Answer:

(b) Yes, the earth gains momentum but the change in momentum of the earth is much lesser compared to that of everyone in the air. The resistance to motion (inertia of the earth), which is a function of its mass is so great that the earth's acceleration is small in the given time frame.

Explanation:

From Newton's second law which can be stated mathematically as

F = m(v-u)/t = ma.

By Newton's law of gravitation, there is a force between the earth and everyone in the air. This force is responsible for the change in momentum of everyone in the air and this force gives them an acceleration equal to g = 9.80m/s². By Newton's law of gravitation and Newton's third law of motion, this force is also equal to the force exerted by everyone on the earth.

For this to be true,

F = M (everyone) ×a (everyone) = M(earth) × a (earth).

And

a (earth) = {M (everyone) ×a (everyone) }/M (earth)

Then

a (earth) must be lesser than a (everyone) since M(earth) >> M(everyone).

a = change in momentum/ time

Therefore the earth will have a much lesser change in momentum which is the reason we won't notice the earth's movement.

Calculate the change in the kinetic energy (KE) of the bottle when the mass is increased. Use the formula KE = mv2, where m is t
Aliun [14]

kinetic energy is given as

KE = (0.5) m v²

given that : v = speed of the bottle in each case =  4 m/s

when m = 0.125 kg

KE = (0.5) m v² =  (0.5) (0.125) (4)² = 1 J

when m = 0.250 kg

KE = (0.5) m v² =  (0.5) (0.250) (4)² = 2 J

when m = 0.375 kg

KE = (0.5) m v² =  (0.5) (0.375) (4)² = 3 J

when m = 0.0.500 kg

KE = (0.5) m v² =  (0.5) (0.500) (4)² = 4 J

Light is incident perpendicularly on four transparent films of different thickness. The thickness of each film is given in the d
exis [7]

Answer:

1/4 λ film

Explanation:

Let L = total path length then L = 2 t where t is film thickness

There will be a 180 deg phase change at the air-film interface but no

phase change at the film-air interface

L = n * wavelength / 2 where n = 1, 3, 5, 7 etc

(the total path L must be an odd number of 1/2 wavelengths)

Or t = n * wavelength / 4 (the film must be an odd number

of 1/4 wavelengths thick)

1/4 λ film satisfies this condition

Note: Find the missing diagram in the attachment section.
