3 0

Answer:

It often happens in a circuit which was conducting,and a switch is opened. Any inductance in the circuit will help the voltage increase due to back emf,and this can cause breakdown of the air insulation and an arc can form.

The 45-g arrow is launched so that it hits and embeds in a 1.40 kg block. The block hangs from strings. After the arrow joins th
worty [1.4K]

Question: How fast was the arrow moving before it joined the block?

Answer:

The arrow was moving at 15.9 m/s.

Explanation:

The law of conservation of energy says that the kinetic energy of the arrow must be converted into the potential energy of the block and arrow after it they join:

\dfrac{1}{2}m_av^2 = (m_b+m_a)\Delta Hg

where m_a is the mass of the arrow, m_b is the mass of the block, \Delta H of the change in height of the block after the collision, and v is the velocity of the arrow before it hit the block.

Solving for the velocity v, we get:

$v = \sqrt{\frac{2(m_b+m_a)\Delta Hg}{m_a} } $

and we put in the numerical values

m_a = 0.045kg,

m_b = 1.40kg,

\Delta H = 0.4m,

g= 9.8m/s^2

and simplify to get:

\boxed{ v= 15.9m/s}

The arrow was moving at 15.9 m/s

A spring whose spring constant is 270 lbf/in has an initial force of 100 lbf acting on it. Determine the work, in Btu, required
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

0.02585 BTU

Explanation:

Given: Spring constant, k = 270 lbf/in

Initial force, f =100 lbf

Compression, x = 1 in

Work done can be calculated as follows:

W = \int {(f+kx)} \, dx \\W = fx + \frac{1}{2}kx^2\\W= (100 lbf)(1 in)+ \frac{1}{2}(270 lbf/in)(1 in)^2\\W= 100+135 = 235 lbf in\\W=235 \times 0.00011 BTU = 0.02585 BTU
