A spring is compressed 8 cm. It is then brought back to equilibrium and compressed 24 cm. How much more work is done in the seco

nd compression than in the first? (9x)
Physics

3 0

Answer:

Nine times

Explanation:

x_{i} = Initial compression of the spring = 8 cm = 0.08 m

x_{f} = Final compression of the spring = 24 cm = 0.24 m

k = Spring constant of the spring

Initial spring energy is given as

U_{i} = (0.5) k x_{i}^{2}\\U_{i} = (0.5) k (8)^{2}\\U_{i} = 32 k

Initial spring energy is given as

U_{f} = (0.5) k x_{f}^{2}\\U_{f} = (0.5) k (24)^{2}\\U_{f} = 288 k = (9) (32) k = 9 U_{i}

A 12.0-g plastic ball is dropped from a height of 2.50 m. Just as it strikes the floor, it is moving at a speed of 3.20 m/s. How
nalin [4]

Answer:

0·233 J

Explanation:

Given

Mass of the ball = 0·012 kg

Initially the ball is at a height of 2·5 m

As initially the ball is dropped, it's initial velocity will be equal to 0

Therefore initially it has zero kinetic energy and has only potential energy

∴ Initially total mechanical energy of the ball = potential energy of the ball

Initial potential energy of the ball = m × g × h

where

m is the mass of the ball

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height of the ball

∴ Potential energy = 0·012 × 9·8 × 2·5 = 0·294 J

Velocity of the ball after striking the floor = 3·2 m/s

After striking the floor, the total mechanical energy = kinetic energy just after striking the floor

Kinetic energy = 0·5 × m × v²

where m is the mass of the ball

v is the velocity of the ball

∴ Kinetic energy of the ball = 0·5 × 0·012 × 3·2² = 0·061 J

Mechanical energy that is lost = 0·294 - 0·061 = 0·233 J

∴ Mechanical energy that the ball lost during its fall = 0·233 J

A ball is thrown vertically downwards with a speed 7.3 m/s from the top of a 51 m tall building. With what speed will it hit the
ddd [48]

Answer:

32.46m/s

Explanation:

Hello,

To solve this exercise we must be clear that the ball moves with constant acceleration with the value of gravity = 9.81m / S ^ 2

A body that moves with constant acceleration means that it moves in "a uniformly accelerated motion", which means that if the velocity is plotted with respect to time we will find a line and its slope will be the value of the acceleration, it determines how much it changes the speed with respect to time.

When performing a mathematical demonstration, it is found that the equations that define this movement are the follow

\frac {Vf^{2}-Vo^2}{2.a} =X

Where

Vf = final speed

Vo = Initial speed =7.3m/S

A = g=acceleration =9.81m/s^2

X = displacement =51m}

solving for Vf

Vf=\sqrt{Vo^2+2gX}\\Vf=\sqrt{7.3^2+2(9.81)(51)}=32.46m/s

the speed with the ball hits the ground is 32.46m/s

From an h = 53 feet observation tower on the coast, a Coast Guard officer sights a boat in difficulty. The angle of depression o
maksim [4K]

Answer:

757,93 feets

Explanation:

We can make a right triangle between the boat (A), the Coast Guard officer (B) and the base of the observation tower (C), like in the graph attached. Now, you could also made a rectangle, adding the horizontal at the height of the Coast Guard, starting in B and ending in D, the vertex opossing C.

The angle of depression, its O in the graph.

Now, as we got an rectangle, of course, the segment AD its the same length as CB, and CA, the distance from the boat to shoreline, its the same length as DB.

ADB its an right triangle, with AB, the hypothenuse, and BD and DA, the catheti (or <em>legs</em>).

Now, we know the lenght BC, the height of the tower, 53 feets, so we also know the lenght of DA. DA its the opposite cathetus to the angle O. We wish to know the length AC, equal to the lenght DB, the adjacent cathetus of the angle O.

Know, the trigonometric function that connects the adjacent cathetus with the opossite cathetus its the tangent.

tangent( O ) = \frac{opposite}{adjacent}

We can take that the angle O = 4 °, and knowing that the opossite cathetus its 53 feets, we got:

tangent( 4) = \frac{53 feets}{DB}

DB=  \frac{53 feets}{tangent( 4)}

DB=  757,93 feets

This its equal to the distance from the boat to the shoreline.
