The barricade at the end of a subway line has a large spring designed to compress 2.00 m when stopping a 1.10 ✕ 105 kg train mov

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>

3. How does the wavelength of green different from violet-indigo?​
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

As the full spectrum of visible light travels through a prism, the wavelengths separate into the colors of the rainbow because each color is a different wavelength. Violet has the shortest wavelength, at around 380 nanometers, and red has the longest wavelength, at around 700 nanometers.
