Use Hooke's Law to determine the variable force in the spring problem. A force of 450 newtons stretches a spring 30 centimeters.

How much work is done in stretching the spring from 40 centimeters to 70 centimeters?

Answer:

Work Done = 67.5 J

Explanation:

First we find the value of spring constant (k) using Hooke's Law. Hooke's is formulated as:

F = kx

where,

F = Force Applied = 450 N

k = Spring Constant = ?

x = Stretched Length = 30 cm = 0.3 m

Therefore,

450 N = k(0.3 m)

k = 450 N/0.3 m

k = 1500 N/m

Now, the formula for the work done in stretching the spring is given as:

W = (1/2)kx²

Where,

W = Work done = ?

k = 1500 N/m

x = 70 cm - 40 cm = 0.3 m

Therefore,

W = (1/2)(1500 N/m)(0.3 m)²

<u>W = 67.5 J</u>

Write some harms of friction.
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

Friction produces unnecessary heat leading to the wastage of energy. The force of friction acts in the opposite direction of motion, so friction slows down the motion of moving objects. Forest fires are caused due to the friction between tree branches. However, friction can also cause problems in a car. Friction between moving engine parts increases their temperature and causes the parts to wear down. Friction can be both harmful and helpful, so it may be necessary to decrease or increase friction.

what factors go into decisions about changing what materials should be used when building a products​
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

you need to consider the use for the product, how brittle the materials are, how they react to certain things, the cost of the materials, the durability and flexibility of the materials, and how easy to obtain the materials are as well as how they would work and how they would hold

When monochromatic light shines perpendicularly on a soap film (n = 1.33) with air on each side, the second smallest nonzero fil
Anika [276]

Let us start from considering monochromatic light as an incidence on the film of a thickness t whose material has an index of refraction n determined by their respective properties.

From this point of view part of the light will be reflated and the other will be transmitted to the thin film. That additional distance traveled by the ray that was reflected from the bottom will be twice the thickness of the thin film at the point where the light strikes. Therefore, this relation of phase differences and additional distance can be expressed mathematically as

2t + \frac{1}{2} \lambda_{film} = (m+\frac{1}{2})\lambda_{film}

We are given the second smallest nonzero thickness at which destructive interference occurs.

This corresponds to, m = 2, therefore

2t = 2\lambda_{film}

t = \lambda_{film}

The index of refraction of soap is given, then

\lambda_{film} = \frac{\lambda_{vacuum}}{n}

Combining the results of all steps we get

t = \frac{\lambda_{vacuum}}{n}

Rearranging, we find

\lambda_{vacuum} = tn

\lambda_{vacuum} = (278)(1.33)

\lambda_{vacuum} = 369.74nm

Sphere A has a charge of +2 x 10 to the power of -6 coulomb and is brought into contact with a similar sphere, B which has a cha
Setler [38]
When sphere A and B are brought in contact and separated, charge on each sphere becomes [2x10^-6 + (-4x10^-6)]/ 2 = -1x10^-6 C.

That is, charge is equally separated and is the average of charges on both spheres. The reason behind equal charge on both spheres after separation is, when they are kept in contact, their potential difference becomes same.
