Answer:

The value of the spring constant of this spring is 1000 N/m

Explanation:

Given;

equilibrium length of the spring, L = 10.0 cm

new length of the spring, L₀ = 14 cm

applied force on the spring, F = 40 N

extension of the spring due to applied force, e = L₀ - L = 14 cm - 10 cm = 4 cm

From Hook's law

Force applied to a spring is directly proportional to the extension produced, provided the elastic limit is not exceeded.

F ∝ e

F = ke

where;

k is the spring constant

k = F / e

k = 40 / 0.04

k = 1000 N/m

Therefore, the value of the spring constant of this spring is 1000 N/m

A stationary 500 kg tank fires a 20 kg miegile at 100 m/s. What is the velocity of the tank after the missile is fired? Assume t
dedylja [7]

Answer:

v₁ = 4 [m/s].

Explanation:

This problem can be solved by using the principle of conservation of linear momentum. Where momentum is preserved before and after the missile is fired.

P=m*v

where:

P = linear momentum [kg*m/s]

m = mass [kg]

v = velocity [m/s]

(m_{1}*v_{1})=(m_{2}*v_{2})

where:

m₁ = mass of the tank = 500 [kg]

v₁ = velocity of the tank after firing the missile [m/s]

m₂ = mass of the missile = 20 [kg]

v₂ = velocity of the missile after firing = 100 [m/s]

(500*v_{1})=(20*100)\\v_{1}=2000/500\\v_{1}=4[m/s]

A wire of resistance R is cut into ten equal parts which are then connected in parallel. The equivalent resistance of the combin
Greeley [361]

Answer:

<em>The equivalent resistance of the combination is R/100</em>

Explanation:

<u>Electric Resistance</u>

The electric resistance of a wire is directly proportional to its length. If a wire of resistance R is cut into 10 equal parts, then each part has a resistance of R/10.

Parallel connection of resistances: If R1, R2, R3,...., Rn are connected in parallel, the equivalent resistance is calculated as follows:

\displaystyle \frac{1}{R_e}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}+\frac{1}{R_3}+...+\frac{1}{R_n}

If we have 10 wires of resistance R/10 each and connect them in parallel, the equivalent resistance is:

\displaystyle \frac{1}{R_e}=\frac{1}{R/10}+\frac{1}{R/10}+\frac{1}{R/10}...+\frac{1}{R/10}

This sum is repeated 10 times. Operating each term:

\displaystyle \frac{1}{R_e}=\frac{10}{R}+\frac{10}{R}+\frac{10}{R}+...+\frac{10}{R}

All the terms have the same denominator, thus:

\displaystyle \frac{1}{R_e}=10\frac{10}{R}=\frac{100}{R}

Taking the reciprocals:

R_e=R/100

The equivalent resistance of the combination is R/100
