ing at 0.350 m/s. (a) What is the force constant (in N/m) of the spring? N/m (b) What speed (in m/s) would the train be going if it only compressed the spring 0.600 m? m/s (c) What force (in N) does the spring exert when compressed 0.600 m? 2020 N (in the direction opposite to the train's motion)

Answer:

(a) k = 1684.38 N/m = 1.684 KN/m

(b) Vi = 0.105 m/s

(c) F = 1010.62 N = 1.01 KN

Explanation:

(a)

First, we find the deceleration of the car. For that purpose we use 3rd equation of motion:

2as = Vf² - Vi²

a = (Vf² - Vi²)/2s

where,

a = deceleration = ?

Vf = final velocity = 0 m/s (since, train finally stops)

Vi = Initial Velocity = 0.35 m/s

s = distance covered by train before stopping = 2 m

Therefore,

a = [(0 m/s)² - (0.35 m/s)²]/(2)(2 m)

a = 0.0306 m/s²

Now, we calculate the force applied on spring by train:

F = ma

F = (1.1 x 10⁵ kg)(0.0306 m/s²)

F = 3368.75 N

Now, for force constant, we use Hooke's Law:

F = kΔx

where,

k = Force Constant = ?

Δx = Compression = 2 m

Therefore.

3368.75 N = k(2 m)

k = (3368.75 N)/(2 m)

<u>k = 1684.38 N/m = 1.684 KN/m</u>

<u></u>

<u>(</u>c<u>)</u>

Applying Hooke's Law with:

Δx  = 0.6 m

F = (1684.38 N/m)(0.6 m)

<u>F = 1010.62 N = 1.01 KN</u>

<u></u>

(b)

Now, the acceleration required for this force is:

F = ma

1010.62 N = (1.1 kg)a

a = 1010.62 N/1.1 x 10⁵ kg

a = 0.0092 m/s²

Now, we find initial velocity of train by using 3rd equation of motion:

2as = Vf² - Vi²

a = (Vf² - Vi²)/2s

where,

a = deceleration = -0.0092 m/s² (negative sign due to deceleration)

Vf = final velocity = 0 m/s (since, train finally stops)

Vi = Initial Velocity = ?

s = distance covered by train before stopping = 0.6 m

Therefore,

-0.0092 m/s² = [(0 m/s)² - Vi²]/(2)(0.6 m)

Vi = √(0.0092 m/s²)(1.2 m)

<u>Vi = 0.105 m/s</u>

How is a scientific theory different from a hypothesis?
Maslowich
A scientific theory is different from a hypothesis because a theory is a educated guess that is being worked on and proven correct and a hypothesis is a educated guess it is a guess that needs to be proven.

An uniform electric field of magnitude E = 100 N/C is oriented along the positive y-axis. What is the magnitude of the flux of t
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

The magnitude of the flux of electric field through a square of surface area is zero.

Explanation:

E=100 NC^{-1}\\\\A=2 m^2\\\\Electic\,\,flux\,\,flux\,\,is\,\,given\,\,as:\\\\\phi_E=E.A\,cos\,\theta

It is given that square box is parallel to yz-plane which has normal vector perpendicular to plane in x-direction. Angle between normal vector of area and electric field is 90°. Substituting in (1)

\phi_E=E.A\,cos\,(90^o)\\\\\phi_E=0

Starting from rest, a disk rotates about its central axis with constant angular acceleration. In 1.00 s, it rotates 21.0 rad. Du
ELEN [110]

With constant angular acceleration \alpha, the disk achieves an angular velocity \omega at time t according to

\omega=\alpha t

and angular displacement \theta according to

\theta=\dfrac12\alpha t^2

a. So after 1.00 s, having rotated 21.0 rad, it must have undergone an acceleration of

21.0\,\mathrm{rad}=\dfrac12\alpha(1.00\,\mathrm s)^2\implies\alpha=42.0\dfrac{\rm rad}{\mathrm s^2}

b. Under constant acceleration, the average angular velocity is equivalent to

\omega_{\rm avg}=\dfrac{\omega_f+\omega_i}2

where \omega_f and \omega_i are the final and initial angular velocities, respectively. Then

\omega_{\rm avg}=\dfrac{\left(42.0\frac{\rm rad}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(1.00\,\mathrm s)}2=42.0\dfrac{\rm rad}{\rm s}

c. After 1.00 s, the disk has instantaneous angular velocity

\omega=\left(42.0\dfrac{\rm rad}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(1.00\,\mathrm s)=42.0\dfrac{\rm rad}{\rm s}

d. During the next 1.00 s, the disk will start moving with the angular velocity \omega_0 equal to the one found in part (c). Ignoring the 21.0 rad it had rotated in the first 1.00 s interval, the disk will rotate by angle \theta according to

\theta=\omega_0t+\dfrac12\alpha t^2

which would be equal to

\theta=\left(42.0\dfrac{\rm rad}{\rm s}\right)(1.00\,\mathrm s)+\dfrac12\left(42.0\dfrac{\rm rad}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(1.00\,\mathrm s)^2=63.0\,\mathrm{rad}
