Answer:

16 J

Explanation:

It is given that,

Work done, W = 2 J

A spring is stretched by 2.0 cm from its equilibrium length

We need to find how much more work will be required to stretch it an additional 4.0 cm.

Let k is the spring constant of the spring. When W = 2J, and x = 2 cm, then energy required to stretch the spring is :

U=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2\\\\k=\dfrac{2U}{x^2}\\\\k=\dfrac{2(2)}{(0.02)^2}\\\\k=10000\ N/m

The energy required to stretch the spring from 2 cm to additional 4 cm i.e. 2+4= 6 cm.

W=\dfrac{1}{2}k(x_2^2-x_1^2)\\\\=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 10000\times ((0.06)^2-(0.02)^2)\\\\W=16\ J

So, the required work done is 16 J.

Andre, whose mass is 77.1 kg, sits on a diving board above a dunk tank. If he is sitting 0.90 m above the water, what is his tot
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

680 J

Explanation:

Mechanical energy = potential energy + kinetic energy

ME = PE + KE

ME = mgh + ½ mv²

ME = (77.1 kg) (9.8 m/s²) (0.90 m) + ½ (77.1 kg) (0 m/s)²

ME = 680 J

In a science museum, a 140 kg brass pendulum bob swings at the end of a 16.8 m -long wire.
Mice21 [21]

The period of the pendulum is 8.2 s

Explanation:

The period of a simple pendulum is given by the equation:

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}

where

L is the length of the pendulum

g is the acceleration of gravity

T is the period

We notice that the period of a pendulum does not depend at all on its mass, but only on its length.

For the pendulum in this problem, we have

L = 16.8 m

and

g=9.8 m/s^2 (acceleration of gravity)

Therefore the period of this pendulum is

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{16.8}{9.8}}=8.2 s

A 5 kg ball is suspended on one cable. Calculate the tension in the cable
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

49N

Explanation:

F=ma

We know the mass is 5kg, and since the ball is suspended on one cable, the acceleration is g, 9.8m/s^2

F=5kg*9.8m/s^2

 = 49N

Hope this helps!

Coherent light of frequency 6.37×1014 Hz passes through two thin slits and falls on a screen 88.0 cm away. You observe that the
IgorC [24]

Answer:

The distance between the two slits is 40.11 μm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Frequency f= 6.37\times10^{14}\ Hz

Distance of the screen l = 88.0 cm

Position of the third order y =3.10 cm

We need to calculate the wavelength

Using formula of wavelength

\lambda=\dfrac{c}{f}

where, c = speed of light

f = frequency

Put the value into the formula

\lambda=\dfrac{3\times10^{8}}{6.37\times10^{14}}

\lambda=471\ nm

We need to calculate the distance between the two slits

m\times \lambda=d\sin\theta

d =\dfrac{m\times\lambda}{\sin\theta}

Where, m = number of fringe

d = distance between the two slits

Here, \sin\theta =\dfrac{y}{l}

Put the value into the formula

d=\dfrac{3\times471\times10^{-9}\times88.0\times10^{-2}}{3.10\times10^{-2}}

d=40.11\times10^{-6}\ m

d = 40.11\ \mu m

Hence, The distance between the two slits is 40.11 μm.
