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 closed system, the loss of momentum of one object ________ the gain in momentum of another object.

Virty [35]

In a closed system, the loss of momentum of one object is same as________ the gain in momentum of another object

according to law of conservation of momentum, total momentum before and after collision in a closed system in absence of any net external force, remains conserved . that is

total momentum before collision = total momentum after collision

P₁ + P₂ = P'₁ + P'₂

where P₁ and P₂ are momentum before collision for object 1 and object 2 respectively.

P'₁ - P₁ = - (P'₂ - P₂)

so clearly gain in momentum of one object is same as the loss of momentum of other object

You wind a small paper tube uniformly with 153 turns of thin wire to form a solenoid. The tube\'s diameter is 5.11 mm and its le

lina2011 [118]

The concept required to solve this problem is linked to inductance. This can be defined as the product between the permeability in free space by the number of turns squared by the area over the length. Recall that Inductance is defined as the opposition of a conductive element to changes in the current flowing through it. Mathematically it can be described as

$L = \frac{\mu N^2 A}{l}$

Here,

$\mu$ = Permeability at free space

N = Number of loops

A = Cross-sectional Area

l = Length

Replacing with our values we have,

$L = \frac{(4\pi *10^{-7})(153)^2(\pi (\frac{5.11*10^{-3}}{2})^2)}{2.47*10^{-2}}$

$L = 0.00002442H$

$L = 24.42\mu H$

Therefore the Inductance is $24.42\mu H$

Salmon often jump waterfalls to reach their breeding grounds. Starting downstream, 3.04 m away from a waterfall 0.585 m in heigh

S_A_V [24]

Answer:

V₀ = 5.47 m/s

Explanation:

The jumping motion of the Salmon can be modelled as the projectile motion. So, we use the formula for the range of projectile motion here:

R = V₀² Sin 2θ/g

where,

R = Range of Projectile = 3.04 m

θ = Launch Angle = 41.7°

V₀ = Minimum Launch Speed = ?

g = 9.81 m/s²

Therefore,

3.04 m = V₀² [Sin2(41.7°)]/(9.81 m/s²)

V₀² = 3.04 m/(0.10126 s²/m)

V₀ = √30.02 m²/s²

lozanna [386]

Answer: Some conversions from one system of units to another need to be exact, without increasing or decreasing the precision of the first measurement. This is sometimes called soft conversion. It does not involve changing the physical configuration of the item being measured.
