A spring with a spring constant of 25.0N/m is stretched 4.50m. What is the force that the spring would apply?

A body of mass 25kg, moving at 3 ms per second on a rough horizontal floor brought to rest after sliding through a distance of 2

erastova [34]

You have to solve this by using the equations of motion:
u=3
v=0
s=2.5
a=?
v^2=u^2+2as
0=9+5s
Giving a=-1.8m/s^2

Then using the equation:
F=ma
F is the frictional force as there is no other force acting and its negative as its in the opposite direction to the direction of motion.

-F=25(-1.8)
F=45N

Then use the formula:
F=uR
Where u is the coefficient of friction, R is the normal force and F is the frictional force.

45=u(25g)
45=u(25*10)

Therefore, the coefficient of friction is 0.18

A small balloon is released at a point 150 feet away from an observer, who is on level ground. If the balloon goes straight up a

Elza [17]

Answer:

$\dfrac{dz}{dt}=0.65\ ft/s$

Explanation:

Given that

x= 150 ft

$\dfrac{dy}{dt}= 7\ ft/s$

y= 14 ft

From the diagram

$z^2=x^2+y^2$

When ,x= 150 ft and y= 14 ft

$z^2=150^2+14^2$

$z=\sqrt{150^2+15^2}$

z=150.74 ft

$z^2=x^2+y^2$

By differentiating with respect to time t

$2z\dfrac{dz}{dt}= 2x\dfrac{dx}{dt}+2y\dfrac{dy}{dt}$

$z\dfrac{dz}{dt}= x\dfrac{dx}{dt}+y\dfrac{dy}{dt}$

Here x is constant that is why

$\dfrac{dx}{dt}=0$

$z\dfrac{dz}{dt}= y\dfrac{dy}{dt}$

Now by putting the values in the above equation we get

$150.74\times \dfrac{dz}{dt}=14\times 7$

$\dfrac{dz}{dt}=\dfrac{14\times 7}{150.74}\ ft/s$

$\dfrac{dz}{dt}=0.65\ ft/s$

Therefore the distance between balloon and observer increasing with 0.65 ft/s.

A 73-kg Norwegian olympian ski champion is going down a hill sloped at 39 ◦ . The coefficient of kinetic friction between the sk

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

Explanation:

net force on the skier = mg sin 39 - μ mg cos39

mg ( sin39 - μ cos39 )

= 73 x 9.8 ( .629 - .116)

= 367 N

impulse = net force x time = change in momentum .

= 367 x 5 = 1835 kg m /s

velocity of the skier after 5 s = 1835 / 73

= 25.13 m /s

b )

net force becomes zero

mg ( sin39 - μ cos39 ) = 0

μ = tan39

= .81

c )

net force becomes zero , so he will continue to go ahead with constant speed of 25.13 m /s

so he will have speed of 25.13 m /s after 5 s .

olga2289 [7]

The first part of the question is not complete and it is;

The voltage across the terminals of a 250 nF capacitor is 50 V, A1e^(-4000t) + (A2)te^(-4000t) V, t0, What is the initial energy stored in the capacitor? Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units. t

Answer:

A) initial energy = 0.3125 mJ

B) A1 = 50 and A2 = 1,800,000

C) Capacitor Current is given by the expression;

I = e^(-4000t)[0.95 - 1800t]

Explanation:

A) In capacitors, Energy stored is given as;

U = (1/2)Cv²

Where C is capacitance and v is voltage.

So initial kinetic energy;

U(0) = (1/2)C(vo)²

From the question, C = 250 nF and v = 50V

So, U(0) = (1/2)(250 x 10^(-9))(50²) = 0.3125 x 10^(-3)J = 0.3125 mJ

B) from the question, we know that;

A1e^(-4000t) + (A2)te^(-4000t)

So, v(0) = A1e^(0) + A2(0)e^(0)

v(0) = 50

Thus;

50 = A1

Now for A2; let's differentiate the equation A1e^(-4000t) + (A2)te^(-4000t) ;

And so;

dv/dt = -4000A1e^(-4000t) + A2[e^(-4000t) - 4000e^(-4000t)

Simplifying this, we obtain;

dv/dt = e^(-4000t)[-4000A1 + A2 - 4000A2]

Current (I) = C(dv/dt)

I = (250 x 10^(-9))e^(-4000t)[-4000A1 + A2 - 4000tA2]

Thus, Initial current (Io) is;

Io = (250 x 10^(-9))[e^(0)[-4000A1 + A2]]

We know that Io = 400mA from the question or 0.4 A

Thus;

0.4 = (250 x 10^(-9))[-4000A1 + A2]

0.4 = 0.001A1 - (250 x 10^(-9)A2)

Substituting the value of A1 = 50V;

0.4 = 0.001(50) - (250 x 10^(-9)A2)

0.4 = 0.05 - (250 x 10^(-9)A2)

Thus, making A2 the subject, we obtain;

(0.4 + 0.05)/(250 x 10^(-9))= A2

A2 = 1,800,000

C) We have derived that ;

I = (250 x 10^(-9))e^(-4000t)[-4000A1 + A2 - 4000tA2]

So putting values of A1 = 50 and A2 = 1,800,000 we obtain;

I = (250 x 10^(-9))e^(-4000t)[(-4000 x 50) + 1,800,000 - 4000(1,800,000)t]

I = e^(-4000t)[0.05 + 0.45 - 1800t]

I = e^(-4000t)[0.95 - 1800t]
