Two objects with masses m and 3m are connected by a compressed spring so that the energy stored in the spring is 375 joules. If

we release the spring, when the spring returns to its normal length, how many joules is the kinetic energy of the lighter body?

Answer:

281.25 J

Explanation:

We are told that the two objects with masses m and 3m.

Also that energy stored in the spring is 375 joules.

Now, initially the centre of mass of the system took place at rest, it means v1 = v and v2 = v/3

Thus, from principle of conservation of energy, we have;

½mv² + ½(3m)(v/3)² = 375J

(m + 3m/9)½v² = 375

(4/3)m × ½v² = 375

Multiply both sides by ¾ to get;

½mv² = 375 × ¾

½mv² = 281.25 J

Therefore, energy of lighter body is 281.25 J

makkiz [27]

Answer: \theta=cos^{-1}0.991=7.69^o

The following vectors have been given: \vec{a}=3.0\widehat{i}+3.0\widehat{j}+3.0\widehat{k}\\ \vec{b}=5.0\widehat{i}+7.0\widehat{j}+6.0\widehat{k}

The angle between these two vectors can be found by:

cos\theta=\frac{\vec{a}.\vec{b}}{||\vec{a}|| ||\vec{b}||}\\
||\vec{a}=\sqrt{a_x^2+a_y^2+a_z^2}

\vec{a}.\vec{b}=a_xb_x+a_yb_y+a_zb_z\\ \vec{a}.\vec{b}=3\times5+3\times7+3\times6=15+21+18=54

||\vec{a}||=\sqrt{3^2+3^2+3^2}=\sqrt{27}\\ ||\vec{b}||=\sqrt{5^2+7^2+6^2}=\sqrt{110}

cos\theta=\frac{54}{\sqrt{27}\times\sqrt{110}}\\=0.991\\ \Rightarrow \theta=cos^{-1}0.991=7.69^o

A 5kg ball is on top of the school building at a height of 40m above the ground.
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

A-Caclcuate the potential energy of the ball at that height

Explanation:

(a). Mass of the Body = 10 kg.

Height = 10 m.

Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s².

Using the Formula,Potential Energy = mgh

= 10 × 9.8 × 10 = 980 J.

(b). Now, By the law of the conservation of the Energy, Total amount of the energy of the system remains constant.

∴ Kinetic Energy before the body reaches the ground is equal to the Potential Energy at the height of 10 m.

∴ Kinetic Energy = 980 J.

(c). Kinetic Energy = 980 J.

Mass of the ball = 10 kg.

∵ K.E. = 1/2 × mv²

∴ 980 = 1/2 × 10 × v²

∴ v² = 980/5

⇒ v² = 196

∴ v = 14 m/s.

A loop of wire lays flat on a horizontal surface in an area with uniform magnetic field directed vertically down. Magnetic field
zimovet [89]

Answer:

B. counterclockwise

Explanation:

We shall apply Lenz's law to find direction of induced current . According to it , direction of induced current is such that the magnetic field produced  by it will try to nullify the change in  magnetic field that produces it. Increase in magnetic field in down ward direction is producing it so to nullify it , magnetic field induced will be in upward direction.  For it current induced will be anticlockwise.
