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>

8. A turtle crawls along a straight line, which we will call the x-axis with the positive direction to the right. The equation f
pychu [463]

(a) The turtle's initial velocity is 4 m/s, initial position of the turtle is 5 cm, and initial acceleration is -1.25 m/s².

(b) The time when the velocity of the turtle is zero is 3.2 s.

(c) The time taken for the turtle to return to its starting point is 6.4 s.

(d) The time taken for the turtle to travel 30 cm is 0.08 s.

<h3>Initial velocity of the turtle</h3>

The initial velocity of the turtle is calculated as follows;

v = \frac{dx}{dt} \\\\x = 5 + 4t -0.625t^2\\\\v(t) = 4 - 1.25t\\\\v(0) = 4-0\\\\v(0) = 4 \ m/s

<h3>Initial acceleration of the turtle</h3>

The initial acceleration of the turtle is calculated as follows;

a = \frac{dv}{dt} \\\\v(t) = 4 - 1.25t\\\\a = -1.25\ m/s^2

<h3>Initial position of the turtle</h3>

x(t) = 5 + 4t - 0.625t²

x(0) = 5 cm

<h3>Time when the velocity becomes zero</h3>

v(t) = 4 - 1.25t

0 = 4 - 1.25t

1.25t = 4

t = 4/1.25

t = 3.2 s

<h3>Time taken to return to starting point</h3>

The total distance traveled is calculated as follows

v² = u² + 2ad

0 = (4)² + 2(-1.25)d

0 = 16 - 2.5d

2.5d = 16

d = 16/2.5

d = 6.4 m

Time to travel the given distance;

d = ut + ¹/₂at²

6.4 = (4)t + ¹/₂(-1.25)t²

6.4 = 4t - 0.625t²

0.625t² - 4t + 6.4 = 0

solve the quadratic equation using formula method;

t = 3.2 s

The time travel the distance two times, = 2 x 3.2 s = 6.4 s

<h3>Time taken for the turtle to travel 30 cm</h3>

d = ut + ¹/₂at²

0.3 = (4)t + ¹/₂(-1.25)t²

0.3 = 4t - 0.625t²

0.625t² - 4t + 0.3 = 0

solve the quadratic equation using formula method;

t = 0.08 s

A boy standing throws a penny horizontally at 7.25 m/s out of the window of his apparent buliding. If the window is 10.0 m above
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

Explanation:

This is a 2D problem (parabolic) so we have to think that way. We have to split up the problem into its 2 dimensions to solve it. Think "y-stuff" and "x-stuff".

In the y-stuff category:

v₀ = 0 (initial upwards velocity is 0 since we are told the penny is thrown horizontally)

Δx = -10.0 m (this displacement is negative because the penny lands 10.0 m below the point from which it was thrown)

a = -9.8 m/s/s

t = ? (we need to find the time in this dimension so we can use it in the x dimension to find the displacement, our unknown)

In the "x-stuff" category:

v₀ = 7.25 m/s (this is given)

Δx = ???

a = 0 (acceleration in this dimension is ALWAYS 0)

t = (we will solve for this in the y-dimension and plug it in here).

In the y dimension:

Δx = v₀t + \frac{1}{2}at^2 and plugging in from the y-dimension info:

-10.0=0t+\frac{1}{2}(-9.8)t^2 which simplifies to

-10.0=-4.9t^2 so

t=\sqrt{\frac{-10.0}{-4.9} } which, to 2 significant digits is

t = 1.4 seconds

Now we will do the same in the x-dimension, using t = 1.4:

Δx = v₀t + \frac{1}{2}at^2 and filling in the x-stuff:

Δx = 7.25(1.4)+\frac{1}{2}(0)(1.4)^2 Notice that the stuff after the + sign goes to 0 cuz of the multiplication of 0, so what we are left with is another form of the d = rt equation:

Δx = 7.25(1.4) + 0 so

Δx = 1.0 × 10¹ m (That's rounded correctly to 2 sig dig's: 10 m from the base of the building).
