A cylinder is fitted with a piston, beneath which is a spring, as in the drawing. The cylinder is open to the air at the top. Fr

iction is absent. The spring constant of the spring is 3400 N/m. The piston has a negligible mass and a radius of 0.028 m. (a) When the air beneath the piston is completely pumped out, how much does the atmospheric pressure cause the spring to compress

Answer:

x =  0.0734 m = 7.34 cm

Explanation:

First we shall calculate the area of the piston:

Area = \pi radius^2\\Area = \pi (0.028\ m)^2\\Area = 0.00246\ m^2

Now, we will calculate the force on the piston due to atmospheric pressure:

Atmospheric\ Pressure = \frac{Force}{Area}\\\\Force = (Atmospheric\ Pressure)(Area)\\Force = (101325\ N/m^2)(0.00246\ m^2) \\Force = F = 249.56\ N

Now, for the compression of the spring we will use Hooke's Law as follows:

F = kx\\

where,

k = spring constant = 3400 N/m

x = compression = ?

Therefore,

<u>x =  0.0734 m = 7.34 cm</u>

How Can the human ear detect the sound
liq [111]

Explanation:

The eardrum vibrates from the incoming sound waves and sends these vibrations to three tiny bones in the middle ear. These bones are called the malleus, incus, and stapes.

A plane is landing at an airport. The plane has a massive amount of kinetic energy due to it's motion. When the plane lands, it
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

A. The brakes used a coil system to convert the kinetic energy into potential energy stored in the brakes

Explanation:

Based on the law of conservation of energy, the brakes used a coil system to convert the kinetic energy into potential energy stored in the brakes.

The law of conservation of energy states that energy is neither created nor destroyed in a system but it is transformed from one form to another.

As the airplane slows down, the kinetic energy which is presented in the motion of the plane is gradually converted to potential energy.

The potential energy is the energy due to the position of a body.

A bullet of 10g strikes a sand bag at a speed of 100 m/s and gets embedded after travelling
Tasya [4]

Answer:

Solving for time :

(There are 4 formulas from linear motion. These formulas are very helpful as it allows us to prevent complicated calculations. Choose among the four that has : 1. The most constants known

2. The unknown constant that we want to solve)

s = (1/2)(u+v)t <--- one of the formulas

from linear motion

s (distance) = 0.05m

u (initial velocity) = 100m/s

v (final velocity) = 0 m/s (it stops)

t (time taken for change in velocity) = to be found

0.05 = (1/2)(100+0)t

t = 0.001 seconds

Solving for the resistant force :

Since the bullet hits the bag with an impulsive force and stops, the force that stops the bullet is the resistant force.

When the bullet stops :

F net = 0

F r = F imp

F r = (mu -mv)/t

F r = (0.01x100-0.01x0)/0.001

F r = 1/0.001

F r = 1000N
