If a 2 kg spring is compressed by exerting a force of 10 newtons a distance of 50 cm how much work is done?

1 answer:

5 0

Convert cm into meters,
50/100=0.5m

work done= 10x0.5
=5J

we dont consider the weight of the spring as it acts downwards.

Please could someone explain this.

This problem is to let you practice using Newton's second law of motion:

Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

-- The airplane's mass when it takes off (before it burns any of its load of fuel) is 320,000 kg.

-- The force available is (240,000 N/per engine) x (4 engines) = 960,000 N.

-- Now you know ' F ' and ' mass '. Use Newton's second law of motion to calculate the plane's acceleration.

dam is used to block the passage of a river and to generate electricity. Approximately 58.4 x 103 kg of water falls each second

mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

8.049 MW

Explanation:

The expression for gravitational potential energy is given as

Ep = mgh............. Equation 1

Ep = gravitational potential energy, m = mass of water, h = height, g = acceleration due to gravity.

Given: m = 58.4×10³ kg, h = 20.1 m, g = 9.81 m/s²

Substitute into equation 1

Ep = 58.4×10³(20.1)(9.81)

Ep = 1.6098×10⁷ J.

If one half the gravitational potential energy of the water were converted to electrical energy

Electrical energy = Ep/2

Electrical energy = (1.6098×10⁷)/2

Electrical energy = 8.049×10⁶ J

In one seconds,

The power generated = 8.049×10⁶ W

Power generated = 8.049 MW

Most interstellar clouds are: Most interstellar clouds are: much bigger than our solar system. similar in size to clouds in Eart

cupoosta [38]

Answer:

Most interstellar clouds are much bigger than our solar system.

Explanation:

An interstellar cloud refers:

It is generally an accumulation of gas, plasma, and dust in our and other galaxies.
It is basically a denser-than-average region of the interstellar medium (ISM).

Interstellar clouds can be large up to 106 solar masses

It is also often said to be the most massive entities in the galaxy.

Hence

we can say about Interstellar clouds,

They are much bigger than our solar system.

The magnitude E of an electric field depends on the radial distance r according to E = A/r4, where A is a constant with unit vol

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

$\Delta V = 0.053 A$

Explanation:

Electric field in a given region is given by equation

$E = \frac{A}{r^4}$

as we know the relation between electric field and potential difference is given as

$\Delta V = -\int E. dr$

so here we have

$\Delta V = - \int (\frac{A}{r^4}) .dr$

$\Delta V = \frac{A}{3r_1^3} - \frac{A}{3r_2^3}$

here we know that

$r_1 = 1.71 m$ and $r_2 = 2.89 m$

so we will have

$\Delta V = \frac{A}{3}(\frac{1}{1.71^3} - \frac{1}{2.89^3})$

so we will have

$\Delta V = 0.053 A$

The refractive index n of transparent acrylic plastic (full name Poly(methyl methacrylate)) depends on the color (wavelength) of

Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

The angle between the blue beam and the red beam in the acrylic block is

$\theta _d =0.19 ^o$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The refractive index of the transparent acrylic plastic for blue light is $n_F = 1.497$

The wavelength of the blue light is $F = 486.1 nm = 486.1 *10^{-9} \ m$

The refractive index of the transparent acrylic plastic for red light is $n_C = 1.488$

The wavelength of the red light is $C = 656.3 nm = 656.3 *10^{-9} \ m$

The incidence angle is $i = 45^o$

Generally from Snell's law the angle of refraction of the blue light in the acrylic block is mathematically represented as

$r_F = sin ^{-1}[\frac{sin(i) * n_a }{n_F} ]$

Where $n_a$ is the refractive index of air which have a value of $n_a = 1$

$r_F = sin ^{-1}[\frac{sin(45) * 1 }{ 1.497} ]$

$r_F = 28.18^o$

Generally from Snell's law the angle of refraction of the red light in the acrylic block is mathematically represented as

$r_C = sin ^{-1}[\frac{sin(i) * n_a }{n_C} ]$

Where $n_a$ is the refractive index of air which have a value of $n_a = 1$

$r_C = sin ^{-1}[\frac{sin(45) * 1 }{ 1.488} ]$

$r_F = 28.37^o$

The angle between the blue beam and the red beam in the acrylic block

$\theta _d = r_C - r_F$

substituting values

$\theta _d = 28.37 - 28.18$

$\theta _d =0.19 ^o$
