When a 5.0 kg box is hung from a spring, the spring stretches to 50 mm beyond its relaxed length. (a) In an elevator acceleratin

g upward at 2.0 m/s2 , how far does the spring stretch with the same box attached? (b) How fast and in which direction should the elevator accelerate for the spring stretch to be zero (that is, the spring returns to its relaxed length)?

Answer:

a) the spring will stretch 60.19 mm with the same box attached as it accelerates upwards

b) spring will be relaxed when the elevator accelerates downwards at 9.81 m/s²

Explanation:

Given that;

Gravitational acceleration g = 9.81 m/s²

Mass m = 5 kg

Extension of the spring X = 50 mm = 0.05 m

Spring constant k = ?

 we know that;

mg = kX  

5 × 9.81 = k(0.05)

k = 981 N/m

a)

Given that; Acceleration of the elevator a = 2 m/s² upwards

Extension of the spring in this situation = X1

Force exerted by the spring = F

we know that;

ma = F - mg

ma = kX1 - mg

we substitute

5 × 2 = 981 × X1 - (5 ×9.81 )

X1 = 0.06019 m

X1 = 60.19 mm

Therefore the spring  will stretch 60.19 mm with the same box attached as it accelerates upwards

B)

Acceleration of the elevator = a

The spring is relaxed i.e, it is not exerting any force on the box.

Only the weight force of the box is exerted on the box.

ma = mg

a = g

a = 9.81 m/s² downwards.

Therefore spring will be relaxed when the elevator accelerates downwards at 9.81 m/s²

A 0.5-kg ball moving at 5 m/s strikes a wall and rebounds in the opposite direction with a speed of 2 m/s. If the impulse occurs
mart [117]

<em>Given that:</em>

                       mass of the ball (m) = 0.5 Kg ,

                    ball strikes the wall (v₁) = 5 m/s ,

rebounds in opposite direction (v₂) = 2 m/s,

                                time duration (t) = 0.01 s,

        <em> Determine the force (F) = ?</em>

We know that from Newton's II law,

                                <em>F = m. a</em>  Newtons  

                                  (velocity acting in opposite direction, so <em>a = ( (v₁ + v₂)/t</em>

                                   = m × (v₁ + v₂)/t

                                   = 0.5 × (5 + 2)/0.01

                                  = 350 N

<em>The force acting up on the ball is 350 N</em>

Six identical resistors are connected in series with a battery. The number of joules per second supplied by the battery is then
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

The option (b) is correct.

Explanation:

The expression for the power in terms of work done is as follows;

P=\frac{W}{t}

Here, W is the work done, t is the time taken and P is the power.

According to the given problem, six identical resistors are connected in series with a battery. The number of joules per second supplied by the battery is then determined.

The expression for the equivalent resistance in the series combination is as follows;

R_{eq}=R_{1}+R_{2}......+R_{6}

Put R_{1},R_{2}......,R_{6}=R.

R_{eq}=R+R+R+R+R+R

R_{eq}=6R

It is given in the problem that a seventh resistor is added (in series).

R_{eq}=R_{1}+R_{2}......+R_{7}

Put R_{1},R_{2}......,R_{7}=R.

R_{eq}=R+R+R+R+R+R+R

R_{eq}=7R

The expression for the power in terms of voltage and resistance is as follows;

P=\frac{V^{2}}{R}

Here, R is the resistance.

From the above expression, it can be concluded that the power, the number of joules per second supplied by the battery is inversely proportional to the resistance. The equivalent resistance increases if the seventh resistance is connected with a battery.

If a seventh resistor is added (in series) the number of joules per second supplied by the battery decreases.

Therefore, the option (b) is correct.
