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.

The train traveled 500 kilometers north to Odessa in 2 hours . What’s the train’s speed ? What is the velocity ?
ElenaW [278]

Explanation:

Speed is distance over time.

500 km / 2 hr = 250 km/hr

Velocity is speed and direction.

250 km/hr north

Trucks can be run on energy stored in a rotating flywheel, with an electric motor getting the flywheel up to its top speed of 20
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

The time it can operate between chargins in minutes is

t=102.8 minutes

Explanation:

Given: m=500kg, r=1.0m, w=200\pi rad/s

a). The rotational kinetic energy

K_R=\frac{1}{2}*I*w^2

I=\frac{1}{2}*m*r^2

I=\frac{1}{2}*500kg*(1.0m)^2

I=250 kg*m^2

K_R=\frac{1}{2}*250kg*m^2*(200\pi rad/s)^2

K_R=49.348x10^6J

b). The power average 0.8kW un range time can be find

P=\frac{K_R}{t'}

Solve to t'

t=\frac{K_R}{P}

t=\frac{49.348x10^6}{0.8x10^3w}=6168.5s

t=6168.5s\frac{1minute}{60s}=102.8 minutes

a concrete slab 20 m long and weighing 400,000 N is supported by one pillar. If a 19,600 N car is parked 8 meters from one end.
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

let the distance of pillar is "r" from one end of the slab

So here net torque must be balance with respect to pillar to be in balanced state

So here we will have

Mg(r - L/2) = mg(L/2 - 8)

here we know that

mg = 19600 N

Mg = 400,000 N

L = 20 m

from above equation we have

400,000(r - 10) = 19,600 (10 - 8)

r - 10 = 0.098

r = 10.098 m

so pillar is at distance 10.098 m from one end of the slab
