The four wheels of a car are connected to the car's body by spring assemblies that let the wheels move up and down over bumps an

d dips in the road. When a 68 kg (about 150 lb) person sits on the left front fender of a small car, this corner of the car dips by about 1.2 cm (about 12 in). If we treat the spring assembly as a single spring, what is the approximate spring constant?

Answer: $k=55.590 KN/m$

Explanation:

Given

mass of person $\left ( m\right )$ =68 kg

car dips about 1.2 cm

We know

F=kx

Where k=combined spring constant

mg=kx

$k=\frac{mg}{x}$

$k=\frac{68\times 9.81}{1.2\time 10^{-2}}$

$k=55.590 KN/m$

Answer:

D. The frequency is not affected as the volume of sound increases

Explanation:

Volume of the sound is defined by the amplitude of the wave or how loud a sound is whereas Frequency is basically the pitch of the sound and is inversely proportional to the wavelength . Increasing frequency will increase the pitch of the sound without affecting it's volume.

A circular loop of wire with a radius of 15.0 cm and oriented in the horizontal xy-plane is located in a region of uniform magne

Answer:

The average emf that will be induced in the wire loop during the extraction process is 37.9 V

Explanation:

The average emf induced can be calculated from the formula

$Emf = -N\frac{\Delta \phi}{\Delta t}$

Where $N$ is the number of turns

$\Delta \phi$ is the change in magnetic flux

$\Delta t$ is the time interval

The change in magnetic flux is given by

$\Delta \phi = \phi _{f} - \phi _{i}$

Where $\phi _{f}$ is the final magnetic flux

and $\phi _{i}$ is the initial magnetic flux

Magnetic flux is given by the formula

$\phi = BAcos(\theta)$

Where $B$ is the magnetic field

$A$ is the area

and $\theta$ is the angle between the magnetic field and the area.

Initially, the magnetic field and the area are pointed in the same direction, that is, $\theta = 0^{o}$

From the question,

B = 1.5 T

and radius = 15.0 cm = 0.15 m

Since it is a circular loop of wire, the area is given by

$A = \pi r^{2}$

∴ $A = \pi (0.15)^{2}$

$A = 0.0225\pi$

∴ $\phi_{i} = (1.5)(0.0225\pi)cos(0^{o} )$

$\phi_{i} = (1.5)(0.0225\pi)$

( NOTE: $cos (0^{o}) = 1$ )

$\phi_{i} = 0.03375\pi$ Wb

For $\phi_{f}$

The field pointed upwards, that is $\theta = 90^{o}$ . Since $cos (90^{o}) = 0$

Then

$\phi_{f} = 0$

Hence,

$\Delta \phi = 0- 0.03375\pi$

$\Delta \phi = - 0.03375\pi$

From the question

$\Delta t = 2.8 ms = 2.8 \times 10^{-3} s$

Here, $N$ = 1

Hence,

$Emf = -N\frac{\Delta \phi}{\Delta t}$ becomes

$Emf = -(1)\frac{-0.03375\pi}{2.8 \times 10^{-3} }$

$Emf = 37.9 V$

Hence, the average emf that will be induced in the wire loop during the extraction process is 37.9 V.
