Answer:

0.0928J

Explanation:

the pulling force of spring F=-kx

where x is the displacement from equilibrium position.

energy stored:

\int\limits^x_0 {-F} \, dx \\=\int\limits^x_0 {kx} \, dx \\\\=\frac{kx^{2} }{2}

*** Its fine if you know nothing about calculus. Just apply the equation

    U=\frac{kx^{2} }{2}

  where U is the potential energy of the spring***

  put x=0.150, U=\frac{8.25}{2}×0.150^{2} = 0.0928J (corr. to 3 sig. fig.)

A mass MM uniform solid cylinder of radius RR and a mass MM thin uniform spherical shell of radius RR roll without slipping. If
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

vcyl / vsph = 1.05

Explanation:

  • The kinetic energy of a rolling object can be expressed as the sum of a translational kinetic energy plus a rotational kinetic energy.
  • The traslational part can be written as follows:

       K_{trans} = \frac{1}{2}* M* v_{cm} ^{2}  (1)

  • The rotational part can be expressed as follows:

       K_{rot} = \frac{1}{2}* I* \omega ^{2}  (2)

  • where I = moment of Inertia regarding the axis of rotation.
  • ω = angular speed of the rotating object.
  • If the object has a radius R, and it rolls without slipping, there is a fixed relationship between the linear and angular speed, as follows:

       v = \omega * R (3)

  • For a solid cylinder, I = M*R²/2 (4)
  • Replacing (3) and (4)  in (2), we get:

       K_{rot} = \frac{1}{2}* \frac{1}{2} M*R^{2} * \frac{v_{cmc} ^{2}}{R^{2}} = \frac{1}{4}* M* v_{cmc}^{2}  (5)

  • Adding (5) and (1), we get the total kinetic energy for the solid cylinder, as follows:

       K_{cyl} = \frac{1}{2}* M* v_{cmc} ^{2}  +\frac{1}{4}* M* v_{cmc}^{2}  =  \frac{3}{4}* M* v_{cmc} ^{2} (6)

  • Repeating the same steps for the spherical shell:

        I_{sph} = \frac{2}{3} * M* R^{2} (7)  

       K_{rot} = \frac{1}{2}* \frac{2}{3} M*R^{2} * \frac{v_{cms} ^{2}}{R^{2}} = \frac{1}{3}* M* v_{cms}^{2}  (8)

      K_{sph} = \frac{1}{2}* M* v_{cms} ^{2}  +\frac{1}{3}* M* v_{cms}^{2}  =  \frac{5}{6}* M* v_{cms} ^{2} (9)

  • Since we know that both masses are equal each other, we can simplify (6) and (9), cancelling both masses out.
  • And since we also know that both objects have the same kinetic energy, this means that (6) are (9) are equal each other.
  • Rearranging, and taking square roots on both sides, we get:

       \frac{v_{cmc}}{v_{cms}} =\sqrt{\frac{10}{9} } = 1.05 (10)

  • This means that the solid cylinder is 5% faster than the spherical shell, which is due to the larger moment of inertia for the shell.

An electron travels west to east with a kinetic energy of 10 keV. The Earth's magnetic field in Pittsburgh is 19,911.5 nT in the
ch4aika [34]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Kinetic energy of the electron, E_k=10\ keV=10^4\ eV=1.6\times 10^{-15}\ J

Let the east direction is +x direction, north direction is +y direction and vertical direction is +z direction.    

The magnetic field in north direction, B_y=19911.5\ nT

The magnetic field in west direction, B_x=-3257.1\ nT

The magnetic field in vertical direction, B_z=48381.8 \ nT

Magnetic field, B=(-3257.1i+19911.5j+48381.8k)\ nT

Firstly calculating the velocity of the electron using the kinetic energy formulas as :

E_k=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2E_k}{m}}

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 1.6\times 10^{-15}}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}}

v=5.92\times 10^7 i\ m/s (as it is moving from west to east)

The force acting on the charged particle in the magnetic field is given by :

F=q(v\times B)

F=1.6\times 10^{-19}\times (5.92\times 10^7 i\times (-3257.1i+19911.5j+48381.8k)\times 10^{-9})

Since, i\times j=k\ \\j\times k=i\\k\times i=j

And, i\times i=j\times j=k\times k=0

F=1.6\times 10^{-19}\times [1178 k-2864.20j]

|F|=1.6\times 10^{-19}\times \sqrt{1178^2+2864.20^2}

F=4.95\times 10^{-16}\ N

(b) Let a is the acceleration of the electron. It can be calculated as :

a=\dfrac{F}{m}

a=\dfrac{4.95\times 10^{-16}}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}

a=5.43\times 10^{14}\ m/s^2

Hence, this is the required solution.

You are 1.8 m tall and stand 2.8 m from a plane mirror that extends vertically upward from the floor. on the floor 1 m in front
velikii [3]
This problem must be solved using a sketch. I attached an illustration of the problem.
You must trace the ray that reflects from the top off the table to your eyes. This how eyesight works, light rays reflects off the objects into your eyes.
Law of reflection tells us that light ray reflects off the surface at the same angle in which it falls on it( i attached another illustration of this).
Now we can write tangens equations:
tan(\theta)=\frac{h-0.8}{1}\\
tan(\theta)=\frac{1.8-h}{2.8}\\
\frac{h-0.8}{1}=\frac{1.8-h}{2.8}
We solve for h:
\frac{h-0.8}{1}=\frac{1.8-h}{2.8}\\
2.8h-0.8\cdot 2.8=1.8-h\\
3.8h=1.8+2.24\\
h=\frac{4.04}{3.8}\\
h=1.06m
