To stretch a certain nonlinear spring by an amount x requires a force F given by F = 40 x − 6 x 2 , where F is in Newtons and x

is in meters. What is the change in potential energy ∆U when the spring is stretched 2 meters from its equilibrium position?

Answer:

64 J

Explanation:

The potential energy change of the spring ∆U = -W where W = work done by force, F.

Now W = ∫F.dx

So, ∆U = - ∫F.dx = - ∫Fdxcos180 (since the spring force and extension are in opposite directions)

∆U = - ∫-Fdx

=  ∫F.dx

Since F = 40x - 6x² and x moves from x = 0 to x = 2 m, we integrate thus, ∆U =  ∫₀²F.dx

=  ∫₀²(40x - 6x²).dx

=  ∫₀²(40xdx - 6x²dx)

=  ∫₀²(40x²/2 - 6x³/3)

=  ∫₀²(20x² - 2x³)

= [20x² - 2x³]₀²

= [(20(2)² - 2(2)³) - (20(0)² - 2(0)³)

= [(20(4) - 2(8)) - (0 - 0))

= [80 - 16 - 0]

= 64 J

Answer:

Explanation:

28 / 70 = 0.3857142...  = 0.39 hr

280 / 100 = 2.8 hrs.

(100 - 0) / 10 = 10 m/s²

(60 - 20) / 4 = 10 m/s²

ASK YOUR TEACHER A baseball with a mass of 146 g is thrown horizontally with a speed of 40.6 m/s (91 mi/h) at a bat. The ball is
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

Explanation:

mass of the ball = 146 g = 146 / 1000 = 0.146 kg

initial speed of the ball = 40.6 m/s

final speed of the ball = - 45.1 m/s

time of impact = 1.05 ms = 1.05 / 1000 = 0.00105 s

impulse, Ft = change in momentum = mv - mu = m (v-u)

F = m (v - u) / t = 0.146 kg ( -45.1 -40.6) / 0.00105 s = -11916.4 N
