Two identical 0.50-kg carts, each 0.10 m long, are at rest on a low-friction track and are connected by a spring that is initial

ly at its relaxed length of 0.50 m and is of negligible inertia. You give the cart on the left a push to the right (that is, toward the other cart), exerting a constant 6.0-N force. You stop pushing at the instant when the cart has moved 0.60m . At this instant, the relative velocity of the two carts is zero and the spring is compressed to a length of 0.30 m. A locking mechanism keeps the spring compressed, and the two carts continue moving to the right. By what amount do you change the system's kinetic energy?

Answer:

The system's kinetic energy changes by 3.6 J

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The number of cart = 2

The mass of each cart = 0.5kg

The initial length of the spring = 0.50 m

The final length of the spring =T0.3 m

The change in position of the first cart = 0.6 m

The energy given to the first cart = Work done by the force = Force × Displacement

The initial kinetic energy of the two cart moving together = Energy given to the first cart = 6.0 × 0.2 = 1.2J

The kinetic energy given to the two cart combined = The applied force × The total displacement of the two cart as they move together

The kinetic energy given to the two cart combined = 6.0 × (0.6 - 0.2)

The kinetic energy given to the two cart combined = 6.0 × 0.4 = 2.4 J

The total kinetic energy given to the two cart = 1.2 + 2.4 = 3.6 J

The total kinetic energy given to the two cart = 3.6 J

The system's kinetic energy changes by 3.6 J.

There are four springs stretched by the same mass.
brilliants [131]

Spring C stretches 100 cm.

Explanation:

The spring constant is simply the stiffness of the spring. The higher the spring constant the more stiff the spring is.

Spring constant shows the force needed to stretch a spring from it's equilibrium position. If a material requires more force to cause it to stretch, it will have a high spring constant.

          According to hooke's law "the force needed to extended an elastic material is directly proportional to its extension"

          F = ke

   k is the spring constant

   e is the extension

We see that the spring that stretches by 100 is the less stiff compared to other springs. It has the smallest spring constant.

A stationary speed gun emits a microwave beam at 2.10*10^10Hz. It reflects off a car and returns 1030 Hz higher. What is the spe
lana [24]

Answer: V = 15 m/s

Explanation:

As  stationary speed gun emits a microwave beam at 2.10*10^10Hz. It reflects off a car and returns 1030 Hz higher. The observed frequency the car will be experiencing will be addition of the two frequency. That is,

F = 2.1 × 10^10 + 1030 = 2.100000103×10^10Hz

Using doppler effect formula

F = C/ ( C - V) × f

Where

F = observed frequency

f = source frequency

C = speed of light = 3×10^8

V = speed of the car

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

2.100000103×10^10 = 3×10^8/(3×10^8 -V) × 2.1×10^10

2.100000103×10^10/2.1×10^10 = 3×108/(3×10^8 - V)

1.000000049 = 3×10^8/(3×10^8 - V)

Cross multiply

300000014.7 - 1.000000049V = 3×10^8

Collect the like terms

1.000000049V = 14.71429

Make V the subject of formula

V = 14.71429/1.000000049

V = 14.7 m/s

The speed of the car is 15 m/s approximately

a hunter 412.5m from a cliff moves a distance x towards the cliff and fires a gun. he hears the echo from the cliff after 2.2sec
Inessa [10]

Answer: 49.5 m

Explanation:

The speed of sound s is given by a relation between the distance d and the time t:

s=\frac{d}{t} (1)

Where:

s=330 m/s is the speed of sound in air (taking into account this value may vary according to the medium the sound wave travels)

d=412.5 m-x since we are told th hunter was initially 412.5 meters from the cliff and then moves a distance x towards the cliff

t=\frac{2.2 s}{2}=1.1 s Since the time given as data (2.2 s) is the time it takes to the sound wave to travel from the hunter's gun and then go back to the position where the hunter is after being reflected by the cliff

Having this information clarified, let's isolate d and then find x:

d=st (2)

412.5 m-x=(330 m/s)(1.1 s) (3)

Finding x:

x=49.5 m This is the distance at which the hunter is from the cliff.

A wheel has a radius of r = 2.0 m and it rolls down a smooth incline. The height of the incline is h = 8.0 m . What is the angul
zepelin [54]

The angular velocity of the wheel at the bottom of the incline is 4.429 rad/sec

The angular velocity (ω) of an object is the rate at which the object's angle position is changing in relation to time.

For a wheel attached to an incline angle, the angular velocity can be computed by considering the conservation of energy theorem.

As such the total kinetic energy (K.E) and rotational kinetic energy (R.K.E) at a point is equal to the total potential energy (P.E) at the other point.

i.e.

P.E = K.E + R.K.E

\mathbf{mgh = \dfrac{1}{2}m(r \times \omega)^2 + \dfrac{1}{2}\times I \times \omega^2}

\mathbf{gh = \dfrac{1}{2}(r \times \omega)^2 + \dfrac{1}{2}\times r^2 \times \omega^2}

\mathbf{2 \times \dfrac{gh}{r^2} =\omega^2 +  \omega^2}

\mathbf{2 \omega^2=2 \times \dfrac{9.81 \times 8 m }{2.0 ^2}  }

\mathbf{\omega^2=\dfrac{39.24 }{2}}

\mathbf{\omega=\sqrt{19.62 } \ rad/sec}

\mathbf{\omega=4.429 \ rad/sec}

Therefore, we can conclude that the angular velocity of the wheel at the bottom of the incline is 4.429 rad/sec

A 1.0 kg rock is thrown straight upward with an initial speed of 8.0 m/s. What is its speed
Ronch [10]

Answer:5.7m/s

Explanation:

Mass=1kg

Initial velocity=u=8m/s

height=h=1.6m

Final velocity =v

Acceleration due to gravity=g=9.8m/s^2

v^2=u^2-2xgxh

v^2=8^2-2x9.8x1.6

v^2=8x8-2x9.8x1.6

v^2=64-31.36

v^2=32.64

Take the square root of both sides

√(v^2)=√(32.64)

v=5.7

Speed at the height of 1.6m is 5.7m/s
