What is the spring coefficient of a spring that stores 4000 joules of energy

Physics
1 answer:
Verizon [17]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

222.2N/m

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Elastic potential energy = 4000J

Extension  = 6m

Unknown:

Spring coefficient  = ?

Solution:

The elastic potential energy is the energy stored within a string.

It is expressed as;

           EPE = \frac{1}{2} k e²  

k is the spring constant

e is the extension

         4000  =  \frac{1}{2} x k x 6²  

        8000  =  36k

          k  = 222.2N/m

A 74-kg boy is surfing and catches a wave which gives him an initial speed of 1.6 m/s. He then drops through a height of 1.56 m,
Reptile [31]

Answer:

Work done, W = 1.44 kJ

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of boy, m = 74 kg

Initial speed of boy, u = 1.6 m/s

The boy then drops through a height of 1.56 m

Final speed of boy, v = 8.5 m/s

To find,

Non-conservative work was done on the boy.

Solution,

The work done by the non conservative forces is equal to the sum of total change in kinetic energy and total change in potential energy.

W=\dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)+(0-mgh)

W=\dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)-mgh

W=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 74\times (8.5^2-1.6^2)-74\times 9.8\times 1.56

W = 1447.21 Joules

or

W = 1.44 kJ

Therefore, the non conservative work done on the boy is 1.44 kJ.

How long must a simple pendulum be if it is to make exactly one swing per second? (That is, one complete vibration takes exactly
umka2103 [35]

Oscillation is a type of periodic motion which repeats itself to and from about a point which is called mean position. The period of a Pendulum can be described as a ratio between the length and gravity as,

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}

Here,

L = length

g = Gravity

If we rearrange  to find the length we have that,

L = \frac{T^2g}{4\pi^2}

Our period is 2s and the gravity is 9.8m/s^2, then,

L = \frac{(2)^2(9.8)}{4\pi^2}

L = 0.9929m

The simple required length of the pendulum must be 0.9929m

Kristine said that an ice cube gains heat when placed in a warm glass of water. Eric said that a hot cup of tea loses heat to co
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

Kristine is correct

Explanation:

this is because when an ice cube is placed into the warm water, it absorbs the heat from the water in order to melt which lowers the water's temperature.

in Eric's case, a hot cup of tea does not lose its heat because of cold hands. it varies depending on the cup whether it is a good insulator or not. also the heat can be lost through the air as well.

A roller coaster has a mass of 300 kg. It drops from rest at the top of a hill
Sedaia [141]

To determine the velocity of the roller coaster as it moves down, we use the kinematic equation which is expressed as 2gy = vf^2 - v0^2 where g is the gravitational acceleration, y is the elevation of the roller coaster, vf and vo are the final and initial velocity. We calculate as follows:

2gy = vf^2 - v0^2

Since it starts at rest, v0 is zero.

2gy = vf^2

vf = √2gy

vf = √2(9.8)(101)

vf = 44.5 m/s
