A kangaroo has a maximum gravitational potential energy during one jump of 770 J

Physics

KengaRu [80]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

k = 44000 N/m

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Maximum gravitational potential energy = 770 J

Elastic potential energy = 14% of 770 J = 14/100 * 770 = 107.8 J

Extension, x = 42 - 35 = 7cm to meters = 7/100 = 0.07 m

To find the spring constant, k;

The elastic potential energy of an object is given by the formula;

E.P.E = \frac {1}{2}kx^{2}

Substituting into the equation, we have;

107.8 = \frac {1}{2}*k*0.07^{2}

107.8 = \frac {1}{2}*k*0.0049

Cross-multiplying, we have;

215.6 = k*0.0049

k = \frac {215.6}{0.0049}

k = 44000 N/m

A 2.00-kg rock has a horizontal velocity of magnitude 12.0 m>s when it is at point P in Fig. E10.35. (a) At this instant, wha
zaharov [31]

Answer:

(A) L = 115.3kgm²/s

(B) dL/dt = 94.1kgm²/s²

Explanation:

The magnitude of the angular momentum of the rock is given by the foemula

L = mvrSinθ

We have been given θ = 36.9°, m = 2.0kg, v = 12.0m/s and r = 8.0m.

Therefore L = 2.00 × 12 × 8.0 × Sin 36.9° =

115.3 kgm²/s

(B) The magnitude of the rate of angular change in momentum is given by

dL /dt = d(mvrSinθ)/dt = mgrSinθ = 2.00 × 9.8 × 8.0× Sin36.9 = 94.1kgm²/s²

What is the thermal energy of an object?
mr Goodwill [35]
The thermal energy of an object is the energy contained in the motion and vibration of its molecules. Thermal energy is measured through temperature. The energy contained in the small motions of the object's molecules can be broken up into a combination of microscopic kinetic energy and potential energy.

A spherical capacitor contains a charge of 3.40 nC when connected to a potential difference of 240.0 V. Its plates are separated
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

A) 1.4167 × 10^(-11) F

B) r_a = 0.031 m

C) E = 3.181 × 10⁴ N/C

Explanation:

We are given;

Charge;Q = 3.40 nC = 3.4 × 10^(-9) C

Potential difference;V = 240 V

Inner radius of outer sphere;r_b = 4.1 cm = 0.041 m

A) The formula for capacitance is given by;

C = Q/V

C = (3.4 × 10^(-9))/240

C = 1.4167 × 10^(-11) F

B) To find the radius of the inner sphere,we will make use of the formula for capacitance of spherical coordinates.

C = (4πε_o)/(1/r_a - 1/r_b)

Rearranging, we have;

(1/r_a - 1/r_b) = (4πε_o)/C

ε_o is a constant with a value of 8.85 × 10^(−12) C²/N.m

Plugging in the relevant values, we have;

(1/r_a - 1/0.041) = (4π × 8.85 × 10^(−12) )/(1.4167 × 10^(-11))

(1/r_a) - 24.3902 = 7.8501

1/r_a = 7.8501 + 24.3902

1/r_a = 32.2403

r_a = 1/32.2403

r_a = 0.031 m

C) Formula for Electric field just outside the surface of the inner sphere is given by;

E = kQ/r_a²

Where k is a constant value of 8.99 × 10^(9) Nm²/C²

Thus;

E = (8.99 × 10^(9) × 3.4 × 10^(-9))/0.031²

E = 3.181 × 10⁴ N/C
