Cherise sets identical magnetic carts on two tracks. At the end of each track is a blue magnet that cannot move. Cherise can mov

e the carts one space to the left or one space to the right. Which movement will result in the largest increase in potential energy?
a
Moving the cart on Track 1 one space to the right (→).


b
Moving the cart on Track 2 one space to the left (←).


c
Moving the cart on Track 2 one space to the right (→).

d
All these movements will result in the same change in potential energy because they each move a cart the same distance.

P6: An object of mass m sits on a spring of constant k in an elevator that is accelerating upwards with acceleration a. a) In te
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

(a). The spring compressed is \dfrac{ma+mg}{k}.

(b). The acceleration is 1.5 g.

Explanation:

Given that,

Acceleration = a

mass = m

spring constant = k

(a). We need to calculate the spring compressed

Using balance equation

kx-mg=ma

x=\dfrac{ma+mg}{k}....(I)

The spring compressed is \dfrac{ma+mg}{k}.

(b). If the compression is 2.5 times larger than it is when the mass sits in a still elevator,

The compression is given by

x=2.5\times x_{0}

Here, acceleration is zero

So, x=2.5\times\dfrac{mg}{k}

We need to calculate the acceleration

Put the value of x in equation (I)

2.5\times \dfrac{mg}{k}=\dfrac{ma+mg}{k}

2.5\times\dfrac{mg}{k}=\dfrac{m}{k}(a+g)

a=2.5g-g

a=1.5g

Hence, (a). The spring compressed is \dfrac{ma+mg}{k}.

(b). The acceleration is 1.5 g.

A straight railroad track is being built to connect two cities. the measured distance of the track between the two cities is 160
elena55 [62]
Let point A be 0.0 miles (first city)
Let point B be 160.5 miles (first city to second city)
Let point C be 28.5 miles (first city to mail stop)

Take C – A = C [28.5 - 0.0 = 28.5] (This checks the distance between city 1 and Mail stop) 

Then Take B – C = Distance from the first city to the second city [160.5 - 28.5 = 132 Miles]


Answer: The Mail stop is 132 miles from the Second City.

How does your power output in climbing the stairs compare to the power output of a 100-watt light bulb? if your power could have
cricket20 [7]
1) Assuming an adult person has an average mass of m=80 kg, and assuming it takes about 30 seconds to climb 5 meters of stairs, the energy used by the person is
E=mgh=(80 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)(5 m)=3924 J
So the power output is 
P= \frac{E}{t}= \frac{3924 J}{30 s} \sim 130 W

And since the estimate we made is very rough, we can say that the power output of the person is comparable to the power output of the light bulb of 100 W.

2) Based on the results we found in the previous part of the exercise, since the power output of the person is comparable to the power output of 1 light bulb of 100 W, we can say that the person could have kept burning only one 100-W light bulb during the climb.

Hello,

<u>Solution for A:</u>

Force = 3.00N

Mass = 0.50 Kgs

Time = 1.50 Seconds

According to newton's second law of motion;

Force = Mass times Acceleration(a)

3.00 = 0.50 * a

a = 3.00/0.50 = 6.00 m/s^2

We know that acceleration = Velocity / time

So Velocity = time * acceleration = 1.50 * 6 = 9.00 m/s^2

<u>Solution for B:</u>

The net force = 4.00N - 3.00N = 1.00N to the left

Force = 1.00N

Mass = 0.50Kg

Time = 3.00 Seconds

Again; F = MA (Where F is force, M is mass and A is acceleration)

1.00N = 0.5 * A

A = 1/0.5 = 2 m/s^2

Velocity = Acceleration * Time = 2 * 3 = 6 m/s
