A) The total energy of the system is sum of kinetic energy and elastic potential energy:
E=K+U= \frac{1}{2}mv^2 +  \frac{1}{2}kx^2
where
m is the mass
v is the speed
k is the spring constant
x is the elongation/compression of the spring

The total energy is conserved, so we can calculate its value at any point of the motion. If we take the point of maximum displacement:
x=A=4.00 cm = 0.04 m
then the velocity of the system is zero, so the total energy is just potential energy, and it is equal to
E=U= \frac{1}{2}kA^2 =  \frac{1}{2}(35.0 N/m)(0.04 m)^2=0.028 J

b) When the position of the object is 
x=1.00 cm = 0.01 m
the potential energy of the system is
U= \frac{1}{2}kx^2 =  \frac{1}{2}(35.0 N/m)(0.01 m)^2 = 1.75 \cdot 10^{-3} J
and so the kinetic energy is
K=E-U=0.028 J - 1.75 \cdot 10^{-3}J =0.026 J
since the mass is m=50.0 g=0.05 kg, and the kinetic energy is given by
K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2
we can re-arrange the formula to find the speed of the object:
v= \sqrt{ \frac{2K}{m} }= \sqrt{ \frac{2 \cdot 0.026 J}{0.05 kg} }=1.02 m/s

c) The potential energy when the object is at 
x=3.00 cm=0.03 m
is
U= \frac{1}{2}kx^2 =  \frac{1}{2}(35.0 N/m)(0.03 m)^2 =0.016 J
Therefore the kinetic energy is
K=E-U=0.028 J-0.016 J = 0.012 J

d) We already found the potential energy at point c, and it is given by
U= \frac{1}{2}kx^2 = \frac{1}{2}(35.0 N/m)(0.03 m)^2 =0.016 J

A uniform ladder 5.0 m long rests against a frictionless, vertical wall with its lower end 3.0 m from the wall. The ladder weigh
dem82 [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

Reaction force of the ground

R = mg

= 160 N

Maximum friction force possible

= μ x R

= μ x 160

= .4 x 160

= 64 N .

b )

 160 N will act at middle point . 740N will act at distance of 3 / 5 m from the wall ,

Taking moment about top point of ladder

160 x 1.5 + 740 x 3/5 + f x 4 = 900 x 3

240 + 444 + 4f = 2700

f = 504 N

c )

Let x be the required distance.  

Taking moment about top point of ladder

160 x 1.5 + 740 x 3 x / 5 + .4 x 900 x 4  = 900 x 3  ( .4 x 900 is the maximum friction possible )

240 + 444 x + 1440  = 2700

x = 2.3  m

so man can go upto 2.3 at which maximum friction acts .

How much heat is needed to boil 120 kg of water ?
nekit [7.7K]
Q = mc<span>∆t, where:
q = energy flow
m = mass, 120 000 g
c = specific heat capacity, 4.81 J/gC
</span><span>∆t = change in temperature, ~75 (100 - 25, which is room temperature)

Substituting in the values, we get:
q = 120000 x 4.81 x 75 = 43290000 Joules = 43.29 MJ

Hope I helped!! xx
