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}

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to rotational kinetic energy, the definition of the moment of inertia for a sphere and the obtaining of the radius through the circumference. Mathematically kinetic energy can be given as:

KE= I\omega^2

Where,

I = Moment of inertia

\omega = Angular velocity

According to the information given we have that the radius is

\Phi= 2\pi r

0.749m = 2\pi r

r = 0.1192m

With the radius obtained we can calculate the moment of inertia which is

I = \frac{2}{3}mr^2

I = \frac{2}{3}(0.624)(0.1192)^2

I = 5.91*10^{-3} kg \cdot m^2

Finally, from the energy equation and rearranging the expression to obtain the angular velocity we have to

\omega = \sqrt{\frac{2KE}{I}}

\omega = \sqrt{\frac{2(1.99)}{5.91*10^{-3}}}

\omega = 25.95rad/s

Therefore the angular speed will the ball rotate is 25.95rad/s

At a particular moment in time and space, we measure an electromagnetic wave's electric and magnetic fields. We find the electri
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

The direction of propagation is west.

Explanation:

We know that electromagnetic waves (EM-waves) are transverse in nature. EM-waves containing electric field and magnetic field both are perpendicular to the each other ( E ⊥ B ).

Transverse waves : the direction of propagation is perpendicular to the direction of amplitude which we call transverse waves. eg : light waves, water waves, gravitational waves etc.

Here, in our case the direction of electric field is pointing upward to the plan of the screen and the direction of magnetic field is pointing north

∴ E × B = k

Where E = direction of electric field, B = direction of magnetic field, k = direction of propagation at particular instant.

Above equation follows right hand rule. put your finger toward you (out of the screen) then curl to the north side then  the thumb will give you the direction of the wave propagation ( west side )

In our case west direction is the direction of wave propagation.
