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

In a laundromat, during the spin-dry cycle of a washer, the rotating tub goes from rest to its maximum angular speed of 2.2 rev/

Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

$n_{T} = 31.68\,rev$

Explanation:

The angular acceleration is:

$\ddot n_{1} = \frac{2.2\,\frac{rev}{s} -0\,\frac{rev}{s} }{8.8\,s}$

$\ddot n_{1} = 0.25\,\frac{rev}{s^{2}}$

And the angular deceleration is:

$\ddot n_{2} = \frac{0\,\frac{rev}{s}-2.2\,\frac{rev}{s} }{20\,s}$

$\ddot n_{2} = -0.11\,\frac{rev}{s^{2}}$

The total number of revolutions is:

$n_{T} = n_{1} + n_{2}$

$n_{T} = \frac{\left(2.2\,\frac{rev}{s} \right)^{2}-\left(0\,\frac{rev}{s} \right)^{2}}{2\cdot \left(0.25\,\frac{rev}{s^{2}} \right)} + \frac{\left(0\,\frac{rev}{s} \right)^{2}-\left(2.2\,\frac{rev}{s} \right)^{2}}{2\cdot \left(-0.11\,\frac{rev}{s^{2}} \right)}$

$n_{T} = 31.68\,rev$

In a swimming meet, the swimmers swim a total of 8 laps of a 50-meter-long swimming pool. What is the distance traveled by a swi

N76 [4]

Answer:

The swimmer has a distance traveled of 800 meters.

The final displacement of the swimmer is 0 meters.

Explanation:

A lap is a round trip made by a swimmer in the pool, so that the distance traveled by swimmer is sixteen times the length of the swimming pool. That is:

$s = \left(2\,\frac{travels}{lap} \right)\cdot \left(8\,laps \right)\cdot \left(50\,\frac{m}{travel}\right)$

$s = 800\,m$

A swimmer has a distance traveled of 800 meters.

The displacement is the distance between swimmer and a reference point, let suppose that reference point is located at the beginning of the first lap. Hence, the final displacement of the swimmer is 0 meters.

When a 12 V battery is connected to a 6 uF capacitor, how much energy is stored

adoni [48]

The energy stored in a capacitor is

E = (1/2) · (capacitance) · (voltage)²

E = (1/2) · (6 x 10⁻⁶ F) · (12 V)²

E = (3 x 10⁻⁶ F) · (144 V²)

<em>E = 4.32 x 10⁻⁴ Joule</em>

(That's 0.000432 of a Joule)
