Answer:

(a) The total energy of the spring system is 0.032 J

(b) The speed of the object when its position is 1.20 cm is approximately 1.28996 m/s

(c) The kinetic energy when its position is 2.50 cm is 0.0195 J

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The mass of the object connected to the spring, m = 35.0 g = 0.00

The force constant, k = 40.0 N/m

The amplitude of the oscillation, a = 4.00 cm = 0.04 m

Therefore, we have

(a) The total energy of the spring system, E given as follows;

E = PE + KE = 1/2·m·v² + 1/2·k·x²

Where;

v = The velocity of the spring

x = The extension of the spring

When the spring is completely extended, x = a, and v = 0, therefore;

The total energy of the spring system, E = 1/2 × k × a² = 1/2 × 40.0 N/m × (0.04 m)² = 0.032 J

(b) At x = 1.20 cm = 0.012 m, we have;

E = 1/2·m·v² + 1/2·k·x²

0.032 = 1/2 × 0.035  × v² + 1/2 ×  40 × 0.012²

0.032 - 1/2 ×  40 × 0.012² = 1/2 × 0.035  × v²

0.02912 = 1/2 × 0.035  × v²

1/2 × 0.035  × v² = 0.02912

v² = 0.02912/(1/2 × 0.035) = 1.664

v = √1.664 ≈ 1.28996

The speed of the object when its position is 1.20 cm,  v ≈ 1.28996 m/s

(c) When its position is 2.50 cm = 0.025 m, we have;

E = PE + KE

0.032 = 1/2 ×  40 × 0.025² + KE

KE = 0.032 - 1/2 ×  40 × 0.025² = 0.0195

The kinetic energy when its position is 2.50 cm = 0.0195 J.

A tank of gasoline (n = 1.40) is open to the air (n = 1.00). A thin film of liquid floats on the gasoline and has a refractive i
klio [65]

Answer:

1.08

Explanation:

This is the case of interference in thin films in which interference bands are formed due to constructive interference of two reflected light waves , one from upper layer and the other from lower layer . If t be the thickness and μ be the refractive index then

path difference created will be 2μ t.

For light coming from rarer to denser medium , a phase change of π occurs additionally after reflection from denser medium, here, two times, once from upper layer and then from the lower layer ,  so for constructive interference

path diff = nλ , for minimum t , n =1

path diff = λ

2μ t. =  λ

μ = λ / 2t

= 626 / 2 x 290

= 1.08

A student has a thin copper beaker containing 100 g of a pure metal in the solid state. The metal is at 215°C, its exact melting
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

The metal will melt but their will be no change in temperature.

Explanation:

The metal is at its melting temperature which means it is still in solid phase but have to cross the enthalpy of its condensation at this same temperature to convert into liquid phase.

<u>On supplying heat, the metal's temperature will not change as the heat will be required as enthalpy of condensation to melt the solid to liquid at the melting temperature.</u>

Find the pressure if a force of 2N is applied to an area of 0.00004m^2
BigorU [14]

Answer:

5 x 10^4 N/m^2

Explanation:

Pressure, force and area are related witg the following equation;

Pressure = Force /Area

From the question, we obtained the following information;

Force = 2N

Area = 0.00004m^2

Pressure =?

Pressure = Force /Area

Pressure = 2/0.00004

Pressure = 5 x 10^4N/m^2
