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.

g Suppose that you charge a 3 F capacitor in a circuit containing eight 3.0 V batteries, so the final potential difference acros
Vladimir79 [104]

The complex, highly technical formula for capacitors is

<em>Q = C V</em>

Charge = (capacitance) (voltage)

Charge = (3 F) (24 V)

<em>Charge = 72 Coulombs</em>

The positive plate of the capacitor is missing 72 coulombs worth of electrons.  They were sucked into positive terminal of the battery stack.

The negative plate of the capacitor has 72 coulombs worth of extra electrons.  They came from the negative terminal of the battery stack.

You should be aware that this is a humongous amount of charge !  An average <u><em>lightning bolt</em></u>, where electrons flow between a cloud and the ground for a short time, is estimated to transfer around <u><em>15 coulombs</em></u> of charge !

The scenario in the question involves a "supercapacitor".  3 F is is no ordinary component ... One distributor I checked lists one of these that's able to stand 24 volts on it, but that product costs $35 apiece, you have to order at least 100 of them at a time, and they take 2 weeks to get.  

Also, IF you can charge this animal to 24 volts, it will hold 864J of energy.  You'd probably have a hard time accomplishing this task with a bag of leftover AA batteries.

If a toy has a mass of 1 kg, it has an Earth weight of​
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

The answer is 9.8 N

Explanation:

As we know that the weight of an object is the amount of gravitational force acting on the object in an upward direction if the weight is acting is the downward direction.

The formula of weight:

W = Mass x Gravitational force

W = m x g

Given data:

Mass =1 kg

g = 9.8 ms-2

W = 1kg x 9.8 ms-2 = 9.8 kgms-2 ( 1 kgms-2 = N)

SO,  

W = 9.8 N

The toy has an earth weight of 9.8 N.

Un proyectil es lanzado horizontalmente desde una altura de 12 metro con una velocidad de 80 m/sg. a.Calcular el tiempo de vuelo
Naily [24]

Answer:

t= 1,56 s ,   x= 124,8 m , v = (80 i^ - 15,288 j ) m/s

Explanation:

Este es un ejercicio de lanzamiento proyectiles, comencemos por encontrar el tiempo que tarda en llegar al piso

        y = y₀ + v_{oy} t – ½ g t²

en este caso la altura inicial es y₀= 12 m y llega a y=0 , como es lanzado horizontalmente la velocidad vertical es cero (v_{oy}=0)

       0 = y₀ – ½ g t²

       t= √ (2 y₀/g)

calculemos

       t= √ ( 2 12 / 9,8)

       t= 1,56 s

El alcance del proyectil es la distancia horizontal recorrida  

        x = v₀ₓ t

        x = 80 1,56

        x= 124,8 m

La velocidad de impacto cuando toca el suelo

        vx = v₀ₓ = 80 ms

        v_{y} = v_{oy} – gt

        v_{y} = - 9,8 1,56

        v_{y} = - 15,288 m/s

la velocidad es

       v = (80 i^ - 15,288 j ) m/s

Traducttion  

This is a projectile launching exercise, let's start by finding the time it takes to reach the ground

        y = y₀ + v_{oy} t - ½ g t²

in this case the initial height is i = 12 m and it reaches y = 0, as it is thrown horizontally the vertical speed is zero (v_{oy} = 0)

       0 =y₀I - ½ g t²

       t = √ (2y₀ / g)

let's calculate

       t = √ (2 12 / 9.8)

       t = 1.56 s

Projectile range is the horizontal distance traveled

        x = v₀ₓ t

        x = 80 1.56

        x = 124.8 m

Impact speed when it hits the ground

        vₓ = v₀ₓ = 80 ms

        v_{y} = v_{oy} - gt

        v_{y} = - 9.8 1.56

        v_{y} = - 15,288 m / s

the speed is

       v = (80 i ^ - 15,288 j) m / s
