What is the length a rubberband was stretched if it has a spring constant of 5700N/m and is currently holding 8600J OF POTENTIAL

energy?

Answer:

\displaystyle \Delta x=1.74\ m

Explanation:

<u>Elastic Potential Energy </u>

Is the energy stored in an elastic material like a spring of constant k, in which case the energy is proportional to the square of the change of length Δx and the constant k.

\displaystyle PE = \frac{1}{2}k(\Delta x)^2

Given a rubber band of a spring constant of k=5700 N/m that is holding potential energy of PE=8600 J, it's required to find the change of length under these conditions.

Solving for Δx:

\displaystyle \Delta x=\swrt{\frac{2PE}{k}}

Substituting:

\displaystyle \Delta x=\sqrt{\frac{2*8600}{5700}}

Calculating:

\displaystyle \Delta x=\sqrt{3.0175}

\boxed{\displaystyle \Delta x=1.74\ m}

For a sound coming from a point source, the amplitude of the sound is inversely
gayaneshka [121]

Answer ) Sound level equation

The intensity of a sound wave is related to its amplitude squared by the following relationship: I=(Δp)22ρvw I = ( Δ p ) 2 2 ρ v w . Here Δp is the pressure variation or pressure amplitude (half the difference between the maximum and minimum pressure in the sound wave) in units of pascals (Pa) or N/m2.

Velocity is a vector quantity which has both magnitude and direction. ... Net force is also a vector quantity which has both mag
GuDViN [60]
When the object is moving in the elliptical orbit, it means that the direction of its acceleration should be towards the two foci (plural of focus) of the ellipse to keep the elliptical motion. As force according to the Newton's second law: F = ma, the net force must be in the direction of the acceleration. As far as the magnitude of net force is concerned, you can use Newton's gravitational law to find its magnitude.

By increasing the circuits resistance R, in a capacitive circuit the phase difference between the current in the circuit and pot
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

B) Gets smaller

Explanation:

The difference of phase between current and voltage in a AC circuit is the phase  angle and it depends on the value of Z ( circuit impedance)

Z = R + X   where R is the resistive component and X the reactance component, which is due either to a presence of an  inductor or a capacitor. In any case the total impedance depends on R the resistive, and the phase angle φ is:  

tan⁻¹ φ =  X/R

Have a look to a pure capactive circuit (we are talking about AC current) in this case current leads voltage by 90⁰. If we add a resistor in the circuit  the current still will lead a voltage but in this condition the phase angle will be smaller,

If  R increase, X/R  decrease and tan⁻¹ φ also decrease

What is pitch related to in terms of sound? Does it affect the speed? If so, how?
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Pitch is the impression the listener gets of the <em>frequency</em> of the sound.

The speed of the sound is <em>not</em> related to its pitch/frequency.  

If the speed and frequency were related, that would be a real problem.  Bands, orchestras, and choirs could not exist !  All the instruments in the orchestra could play a note together, at the same time.  But then the higher instruments ... the flute, trumpet, violins, high guitar strings and high piano keys ... would travel to you fast, and the lower instruments ... the trombone, tuba, double bass, bass drum, low guitar strings and the low piano keys ... would travel to you slow.  They all played the note at the same time, but by the time you heard it, it would be all smeared out ... every instrument arriving at your ear at a different time !
