A 540 gram object is attached to a vertical spring, causing the spring’s length to change from 70 cm to 110 cm.

belka [17]

Answer:

Approximately $13\; {\rm N \cdot m^{-1}}$ (assuming that $g = 9.81\; {\rm N \cdot kg^{-1}}$ .)

Explanation:

Let $F_{\text{s}}$ denote the force that this spring exerts on the object. Let $x$ denote the displacement of this spring from the equilibrium position.

By Hooke's Law, the spring constant $k$ of this spring would ensure that $F_\text{s} = -k\, x$ .

Note that the mass of the object attached to this spring is $m = 540\; {\rm g} = 0.540\; {\rm kg}$ . Thus, the weight of this object would be $m\, g = 0.540\; {\rm kg} \times 9.81\; {\rm N \cdot kg^{-1}} \approx 5.230\; {\rm N}$ .

Assuming that this object is not moving, the spring would need to exert an upward force of the same magnitude on the object. Thus, $F_{\text{s}} = 5.230\; {\rm N}$ .

The spring in this question was stretched downward from its equilibrium by:

$\begin{aligned} x &= (70\; {\rm cm} - 110\; {\rm cm}) \\ &= (-40)\; {\rm cm} \\ &= (-0.40) \; {\rm m}\end{aligned}$ .

(Note that $x$ is negative since this displacement points downwards.)

Rearrange Hooke's Law to find $k$ in terms of $F_{\text{s}}$ and $x$ :

$\begin{aligned} k &= \frac{F_{\text{s}}}{-x} \\ &\approx \frac{5.230\; {\rm N}}{-(-0.40)\; {\rm m}} \\ &\approx 13\; {\rm N \cdot m^{-1}}\end{aligned}$ .

Copper and aluminum are being considered for a high-voltage transmission line that must carry a current of 60.7 A. The resistanc

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

a) The magnitude JJ of the current density for a copper cable is 5.91 × 10⁵A.m⁻²

b)The mass per unit length \lambdaλ for a copper cable is 0.757kg/m

c)The magnitude J of the current density for an aluminum cable is 3.5 × 10⁵A/m²

d)The mass per unit length \lambdaλ for an aluminum cable is 0.380kg/m

Explanation:

The expression for electric field of conductor is,

$E = \frac{V}{L}$

The general equation of voltage is,

V = iR

The expression for current density in term of electric field is,

$J = \frac{E}{p}$

Substitute (V/L) for E in the above equation of current density.

$J = \frac{V}{pL} ------(1)$

Substitute iR for V in equation (1)

$J = \frac{iR}{pL} ------(2)$

Substitute 1.69 × 10⁸ Ω .m for p

50A for i

0.200Ω.km⁻¹ for (R/L) in eqn (2)

$J = \frac{(50) (0.200\times 10^-^3) }{1.69 \times 10^-^8 } \\\\= 5.91 \times 10^5A.m^-^2$

The magnitude JJ of the current density for a copper cable is 5.91 × 10⁵A.m⁻²

b) The expression for resistivity of the conductor is,

$p = \frac{RA}{L}$

$A = \frac{pL}{R}$

The expression for mass density of copper is,

m = dV

where, V is the density of the copper.

Substitute AL for V in equation of the mass density of copper.

m=d(AL)

m/L = dA

λ is use for (m/L)

substitute,

pL/R for A and λ is use for (m/L) in the eqn above

$\lambda = d\frac{p}{\frac{R}{L} } ------(3)$

Substitute 0.200Ω.km⁻¹ for (R/L)

8960kgm⁻³ for d and 1.69 × 10⁸ Ω .m

$\lambda = (8960) \frac{(1.69 \times 10^-^8 }{0.200\times 10^-^3} \\\\= 0.757kg.m^-^1$

c) Using the equation (2) current density for aluminum cable is,

$J = \frac{iR}{pL}$

p is the resistivity of the aluminum cable.

Substitute 2.82 × 10⁻⁸Ω.m for p ,

50A for i and 0.200Ω.km⁻¹ for (R/L)

$J = \frac{(50)(0.200\times10^-^3) }{2.89\times 10^-^8} \\\\= 3.5 \times10^5A/m^2$

The magnitude J of the current density for an aluminum cable is 3.5 × 10⁵A/m²

d) Using the equation (3) mass per unit length for aluminum cable is,

$\lambda = d\frac{p}{\frac{R}{L} }$

p is the resistivity and is the density of the aluminum cable.

Substitute 0.200Ω.km⁻¹ for (R/L), 2700 for d and 2.82 × 10⁻⁸Ω.m for p

$\lambda = (2700) \frac{(2.82 \times 10^-^8) }{(0.200 \times 10^-^3) } \\\\= 0.380kg/m$

The mass per unit length \lambdaλ for an aluminum cable is 0.380kg/m

A ball is thrown directly downward with an initial speed of 7.70 m/s, from a height of 30.2 m. After what time interval does it

KatRina [158]

Answer:

$t = 1.82$

Explanation:

Given

$u = 7.70m/s$ -- initial velocity

$s = 30.2m$ --- height

Required

Determine the time to hit the ground

This will be solved using the following motion equation.

$s = ut + \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

Where

$g = 9,8m/s^2$

So, we have:

$30.2 = 7.70t + \frac{1}{2} * 9.8 * t^2$

$30.2 = 7.70t + 4.9 * t^2$

Subtract 30.2 from both sides

$30.2 -30.2 = 7.70t + 4.9 * t^2 - 30.2$

$0 = 7.70t + 4.9 * t^2 - 30.2$

$0 = 7.70t + 4.9t^2 - 30.2$

$7.70t + 4.9t^2 - 30.2 = 0$

$4.9t^2 + 7.70t - 30.2 = 0$

Solve using quadratic formula:

$t = \frac{-b\±\sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}$

Where

$a = 4.9;\ b = 7.70;\ c = -30.2$

$t = \frac{-7.70\±\sqrt{7.70^2 - 4*4.9*-30.2}}{2*4.9}$

$t = \frac{-7.70\±\sqrt{651.21}}{9.8}$

$t = \frac{-7.70\±25.52}{9.8}$

Split the expression

$t = \frac{-7.70+25.52}{9.8}$ or $t = \frac{-7.70-25.52}{9.8}$

$t = \frac{17.82}{9.8}$ or $t = -\frac{33.22}{9.8}$

Time can't be negative; So, we have:

$t = \frac{17.82}{9.8}$

$t = 1.82$

Hence, the time to hit the ground is 1.82 seconds
