Suppose the block is released from rest with the spring compressed 5.00 cm. The mass of the block is 1.70 kg and the force const

IRISSAK [1]

First, let's calculate the total mechanical energy when the block is at rest and the spring is compressed 5 cm:

$\begin{gathered} ME=PE+KE\\ \\ ME=\frac{kx^2}{2}+\frac{mv^2}{2}\\ \\ ME=\frac{955\cdot0.05^2}{2}+0\\ \\ ME=1.194\text{ J} \end{gathered}$

Now, let's use this total energy to calculate the velocity when the spring is compressed by 2.5 cm:

$\begin{gathered} ME=PE+KE\\ \\ 1.194=\frac{kx^2}{2}+\frac{mv^2}{2}\\ \\ 2.388=955\cdot0.025^2+1.7v^2\\ \\ 1.7v^2=2.388-0.597\\ \\ 1.7v^2=1.791\\ \\ v^2=\frac{1.791}{1.7}\\ \\ v^2=1.0535\\ \\ v=1.026\text{ m/s} \end{gathered}$

Therefore the speed is 1.026 m/s.

Consider an electron that is 10-10 m from an alpha particle (9 = 3.2 x 10-19 C). (Enter the magnitudes.) (a) What is the electri

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

a) $E=2.88*10^{11}N/C$

b) $E=1.44*10^{11}N/C$

c) $F=4.61*10^{-8}N$

Explanation:

We use the definition of a electric field produced by a point charge:

$E=k*q/r^2$

a)Electric Field due to the alpha particle:

$E=k*q_{alpha}/r^2=9*10^9*3.2*10^{-19}/(10^{-10})^2=2.88*10^{11}N/C$

b)Electric Field due to electron:

$E=k*q_{electron}/r^2=9*10^9*1.6*10^{-19}/(10^{-10})^2=1.44*10^{11}N/C$

c)Electric Force on the alpha particle, on the electron:

The alpha particle and electron feel the same force but with opposite direction:

$F=k*q_{electron}*q_{alpha}/r^2=9*10^9*1.6*10^{-19}*3.2*10^{-19}/(10^{-10})^2=4.61*10^{-8}N$

A constant amount of charge passes through a conductor. How is current affected if the same amount of charge passes in less time

baherus [9]

Answer:

B. The current increases.

Explanation:

As we know that rate of flow of charge through the conductor is known as electric current

So we have

$i = \frac{q}{t}$

here we know that charge Q flowing through the conductor is constant while the time in which it passes through it is decreased

so we can say that the ratio of charge and time will increase

so here we have

$i = increased$

So correct answer will be

B. The current increases.

Janelle stands on a balcony, two stories above Michael. She throws one ball straight up and one ball straight down, but both wit

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

Both balls have the same speed.

Explanation:

Janelle throws the two balls from the same height, with the same speed. Both balls will have the same potential and kinetic energy. Energy must be conserved. When the balls pass Michael, again they must have the same potential and kinetic energy.
