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>

A 0.40-kg block is attached to the end of a horizontal ideal spring and rests on a frictionless surface. The block is pulled so

Answer:

160N/m

Explanation:

According to Hooke's law which states that the extension of an elastic material is directly proportional to the applied force provided that the elastic limit is not exceeded. Mathematically,

F = ke where

F is the applied force

k is the spring constant

e is the extension

From the formula k = F/e

Since the body accelerates when the block is released, F = ma according to Newton's second law of motion.

The spring constant k = ma/e where

m is the mass of the block = 0.4kg

a is the acceleration = 8.0m/s²

e is the extension of the spring = 2.0cm = 0.02m

K = 0.4×8/0.02

K = 3.2/0.02

K = 160N/m

The spring constant of the spring is therefore 160N/m

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

$E_{square}=0.51v$

$i_{square}=2.98A$

Explanation:

$E_{mf}=-N*\frac{d\alpha}{dt}$

$E_{mf}=-N*A*\frac{d\beta}{dt}$

$N=1$

$E_{circle}=A_{circle}*\frac{d\beta}{dt}$

$E_{square}=E_{circle}*\frac{A_{square}}{A_{circle}}$

$E_{square}=E_{circle}(\frac{\frac{\pi^2}{4}*r^2}{\pi*r^2})$

$E_{square}=E_{circle}*\frac{\pi}{4}$

$E_{square}=0.65v*\frac{\pi}{4}$

$E_{square}=0.51v$

$i_{square}=i_{circle}*\frac{E_{square}}{E_{circle}}$

$i_{square}=3.8A*\frac{0.51v}{0.65v}$

$i_{square}=2.98A$

How long will it take a cyclist to accelerate to 12 m/s starting from rest if he rides with an average acceleration of 1.2 m/s^2

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

<em>The cyclist takes 10 seconds to accelerate to 12 m/s.</em>

Explanation:

<u>Constant Acceleration Motion</u>

It's a type of motion in which the velocity of an object changes by an equal amount in every equal period of time.

Being a the constant acceleration, vo the initial speed, vf the final speed, and t the time, the following relation applies:

$v_f=v_o+at$

Solving for t:

$\displaystyle t=\frac{v_f-v_o}{a}$

The cyclist starts from rest (vo=0) and moves at vf=12 m/s with an acceleration $a=1.2\ m/s^2$ .

Calculate the time:

$\displaystyle t=\frac{12-0}{1.2}$

$\displaystyle t=\frac{12}{1.2}$

$\boxed{t=10\ sec}$

The cyclist takes 10 seconds to accelerate to 12 m/s.
