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>

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

Here, he is able both to share his own suffering and—in a way that Mammy cannot—insist on his love for Laila. Babi's dream for leaving Afghanistan is, ironically, based in his love for the country—a love he thinks can be better kept alive by continuing to celebrate its culture and cuisine abroad.JThe nucleus of some isotopes will spontaneously undergo nuclear decay. These isotopes are said to be radioactive. What causes the nucleus of an isotope to be radioactive?

The electric force and nuclear forces are in opposition to each other

Nuclear forces disintegrate protons

There are too many electrons in its orbitals

The electric force causes electrons to be released

(please help i genuinely cant find out why)Babi had wanted Laila and Tariq to understand their country's living, breathing heritage—a heritage quite apart from the violence and turmoil of the national wars. The Buddhas, testimony to an ancient community of monks that lived in caves within the cliffs, symbolize the cultural richness of this national heritageAs an unstable atom tries to reach a stable form, energy and matter are released from the nucleus. This spontaneous change in the nucleus is called radioactive decay. When there is a change in the nucleus and one element changes into another, it is called transmutation.Carbon-14 is unstable and undergoes radioactive decay with a half-life of about 5,730 years (meaning that half of the material will be gone after 5,730 years). This decay means the amount of carbon-14 in an object serves as a clock, showing the object's age in a process called “carbon dating.”Nuclear decay occurs when the nucleus of an atom is unstable and spontaneously emits energy in the form of radiation. The result is that the nucleus changes into the nucleus of one or more other elements. These daughter nuclei have a lower mass and are more stable (lower in energy) than the parent nucleus.

I know the acceleration due to gravity (ie 9.8 m/s2) will have a negative sign when falling down, a positive one when going up.
rewona [7]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Accerelation is measured by change in velocity. So naturally, if an object is slowing down, its velocity is decreasing so acceleration is negative. If it is speeding up velocity is increasing so positive acceleration.

(Velocity final - Velocity initial)/t

Note that this does not apply only to gravity, but to all linear accelerations

A flywheel in a motor is spinning at 530 rpm when a power failure suddenly occurs. The flywheel has mass 40.0kg and diameter 75.
aleksley [76]

Answer:

 w = 25.05 rad / s ,     α = 0.7807 rad / s² ,   θ = 1972.75

Explanation:

This is a kinematic rotation exercise, let's start by looking for the acceleration when the engine is off

            θ = w₀ t - ½ α t²

            α = (w₀t - θ) 2/t²

           

let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system

 

w₀ = 530 rev / min (2pi rad / 1 rev) (1 min / 60 s) = 55.5 rad / s

θ = 250 rev (2pi rad / 1 rev) = 1570.8 rad

 

let's calculate the angular acceleration

           α = (55.5 39 - 1570.8) 2/39²

           α = 0.7807 rad / s²

having the acceleration we can calculate the final speed

           w = w₀ - ∝ t

           w = 55.5 - 0.7807 39

           w = 25.05 rad / s

the time to stop w = 0

           0 = wo - alpha t

           t = wo / alpha

           t = 55.5 / 0.7807

           t = 71.09 s

         

the angle traveled

       w² = w₀⁹ - 2 α θ

       w = 0

      θ = w₀² / 2α

let's calculate

      θ = 55.5 2 / (2 0.7807)

        θ = 1972.75
