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>

The speed of a 500 g cricket ball changes from 10m/s to 30m/s in just 7 seconds. What is the force acting on the cart?
9966 [12]

The force acting on the cart is 1.43 N.

<h3>What is force?</h3>

Force can be defined as the product of mass and acceleration.

To calculate the force acting on the cart, we use the formula below.

Formula:

  • F = m(v-u)/t................. Equation 1

Where:

  • F = Force acting on the cart
  • m = mass of the cart
  • v = Final velocity
  • u = initial velocity
  • t = time

From the question,

Given:

  • m = 500 g = 0.5 kg
  • v = 30 m/s
  • u = 10 m/s
  • t = 7 seconds

Substitute these values into equation 1

  • F = 0.5(30-10)/7
  • F = 10/7
  • F = 1.43 N.

Hence, the force acting on the cart is 1.43 N.

Two equal point charges QQQ are separated by a distance ddd. One of the charges is released and moves away from the other due on
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

The kinetic energy K of the moving charge is K = 2kQ²/3d = 2Q²/(4πε)3d = Q²/6πεd

Explanation:

The potential energy due to two charges q₁ and q₂ at a distance d from each other is given by U = kq₁q₂/r.

Now, for the two charges q₁ = q₂ = Q separated by a distance d, the initial potential energy is U₁ = kQ²/d. The initial kinetic energy of the system K₁ = 0 since there is no motion of the charges initially. When the moving charge is at a distance of r = 3d, the potential energy of the system is U₂ = kQ²/3d and the kinetic energy is K₂.

From the law of conservation of energy, U₁ + K₁ = U₂ + K₂

So, kQ²/d + 0 = kQ²/3d + K

K₂ = kQ²/d - kQ²/3d = 2kQ²/3d

So, the kinetic energy K₂ of the moving charge is K₂ = 2kQ²/3d = 2Q²/(4πε)3d = Q²/6πεd

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

Neptune is approximately 41 times as far from the sun as Venus

Explanation:

Estimate = distance of Neptune from the sun ÷ distance of Venus from the sun = 4.5×10^9 ÷ 1.18×10^8 = 40.9 (approximately 41)
