Answer:

(a) Hence, the potential energy = 0.400 J.

(b) Hence the potential Energy = 0.225 J.

(c) Hence the potential energy = 0 J

Explanation:

Potential Energy; This is the energy of a body, by virtue of its position in the gravitational field. The unit of potential energy is Joules (J)

the potential energy stored in a spring is

Ep = 1/2ke²..................................... Equation 1

Where Ep = potential Energy, k = force constant,  e = extension.

a.

When spring is stretched 4.00 cm,  e = 4.00 cm = 4/100 = 0.04 m, and k = 500 N/m.

Substituting into equation 1

Ep = 1/2(500)(0.04)²

Ep = 0.4 J.

Hence, the potential energy = 0.400 J.

(b)

When the spring is compressed 3.00 cm, e = 3.00 cm = 3/100 = 0.03 m, and k = 500 N/m.

Substitute into equation 1,

Ep = 1/2(500)(0.03)²

Ep = 250(0.0009)

Ep = 0.225 J.

Hence the potential Energy = 0.225 J.

(c) When the spring is unstretched, e = 0 cm = 0 m and k = 500 N/m.

Substituting into equation 1

Ep = 1/2(500)(0)²

Ep = 250(0)

Ep = 0.

Hence the potential energy = 0 J

if the current in a wire is 2.0 amperes and the potential difference across the wire is 10 volts what is the resistance of the w
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

R = 2Ω

Explanation:

Potential difference (V) = current (I) * Resistance (R)

V = IR

I = 2.0A

V = 10v

R = ?

V = IR

R = V / I

R = 10 / 2

R = 2Ω

The resistance across the wire is 2Ω

castortr0y [4]

Answer:

  • Fx = -9.15 N
  • Fy = 1.72 N
  • F∠γ ≈ 9.31∠-10.6°

Explanation:

You apparently want the sum of forces ...

  F = 8.80∠-56° +7.00∠52.8°

Your angle reference is a bit unconventional, so we'll compute the components of the forces as ...

  f∠α = (-f·cos(α), -f·sin(α))

This way, the 2nd quadrant angle that has a negative angle measure will have a positive y component.

  = -8.80(cos(-56°), sin(-56°)) -7.00(cos(52.8°), sin(52.8°))

  ≈ (-4.92090, 7.29553) +(-4.23219, -5.57571)

  ≈ (-9.15309, 1.71982)

The resultant component forces are ...

  • Fx = -9.15 N
  • Fy = 1.72 N

Then the magnitude and direction of the resultant are

  F∠γ = (√(9.15309² +1.71982²))∠arctan(-1.71982/9.15309)

  F∠γ ≈ 9.31∠-10.6°

Two cylindrical rods, one copper and the other iron, are identical in lengths and cross-sectional areas. They are joined, end to
Pie

Answer:

Vc = 2.41 v

Explanation:

voltage (v) = 16 v

find the voltage between the ends of the copper rods .

applying the voltage divider theorem

Vc = V x (\frac{Rc}{Rc + Ri})

where

  • Rc = resistance of copper = \frac{ρl}{a}  (l = length , a = area, ρ = resistivity of copper)
  • Ri = resistance of iron = \frac{ρ₀l}{a}  (l = length , a = area, ρ₀ = resistivity of copper)

Vc =  V x (\frac{\frac{ρl}{a}}{\frac{ρl}{a} + \frac{ρ₀l}{a}})

Vc = V x (\frac{ρ x (\frac{l}{a})}{(ρ + ρ₀) x (\frac{l}{a})})

Vc = V x (\frac{ρ}{ρ + ρ₀})

where

  • ρ = resistivity of copper = 1.72 x 10^{-8} ohm.meter
  • ρ₀ = resistivity of iron = 9.71 x 10^{-8} ohm.meter

Vc = 16 x (\frac{1.72 x 10^{-8}}{1.72 x 10^{-8} + 9.71 x 10^{-8}})

Vc = 2.41 v

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

30m/s

Explanation:

  • Use formula for height calculation: Time = √2h/√g
  • From here calculate height which comes out to be: 45m(if g is taken 10)
  • Then use formula for velocity calculation: v = √2gh

  • The velocity comes out to be 30m/s
