What is the equation for the potential energy stored in a spring when it is stretched or compressed?

Physics
1 answer:
gregori [183]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

if you stretch a spring with k = 2, with a force of 4N, the extension will be 2m. the work done by us here is 4x2=8J. in other words, the energy transferred to the spring is 8J. but, the stored energy in the spring equals 1/2x2x2^2=4J (which is half of the work done by us in stretching it).

Force F=2.0N i - 3.0N k acts on a pebble with position vectorr=0.50m j - 2.0m k relative to the origin. In unit vector notation,
klasskru [66]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Force acts on a pebble=2\hat{i}-3\hat{k} N

Position vector=r=0.5\hat{j}-2\hat{k} m

a.We have to find the resulting torque on the pebble about origin.

Torque=r\times F

Substitute the values then we get

Torque= (0.5j-2k)\times (2i-3k)

Torque=-k-1.5i-4jN-m

By using i\times j=k,j\times k=i,k\times i=j,j\times i=-k,k\times j=-i,i\times k=-j,i\times i=j\times j=k\times k=0

b.r=2i-3k

r-r_1=(0.5j-2k)-(2i-3k)=-2i+0.5j+k

Torque about point (2,0,-3)

\tau=(-2i+0.5j+k)\times (2i-3k)

\tau=-6j-k-1.5i+2j=-1.5i-4j-kN-m

Just about everyone at one time or another has been burned by hot water or steam. This problem compares the heat input to your s
kkurt [141]

Answer:

B. Steam burns the skin worse than hot water because the latent heat of vaporization is released as well.

Explanation:

It is given that both steam and the boiling water when in contact with the skin cools down from 100 to 34 degrees Celsius.

For any substance of mass m, the heat required to change the temperature by \Delta T is mC\Delta T (S.I. unit = Joules).

where C, the specific heat capacity is the same and a constant for both the condensed steam and the boiling water.  

But, there is a "hidden" energy (heat) released by the steam called latent heat

(given by mL, L = specific latent heat) which allows the phase transition (gas to liquid). While both of them are at the same temperature, their energy (heat) is different, which is why steam causes burns worse than boiling water

When a rocket is 4 kilometers high, it is moving vertically upward at a speed of 400 kilometers per hour. At that instant, how f
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

The angle of elevation of the rocket is increasing at a rate of 48.780º per second.

Explanation:

Geometrically speaking, the distance between the rocket and the observer (r), measured in kilometers, can be represented by a right triangle:

r = \sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}} (1)

Where:

x - Horizontal distance between the rocket and the observer, measured in kilometers.

y - Vertical distance between the rocket and the observer, measured in kilometers.

The angle of elevation of the rocket (\theta), measured in sexagesimal degrees, is defined by the following trigonometric relation:

\tan \theta = \frac{y}{x} (2)

If we know that x = 5\,km, then the expression is:

\tan \theta = \frac{y}{5}

And the rate of change of this angle is determined by derivatives:

\sec^{2}\theta \cdot \dot \theta = \frac{1}{5}\cdot \dot y

\frac{\dot \theta}{\cos^{2}\theta} = \frac{\dot y}{5}

\frac{\dot \theta\cdot (25+y^{2})}{25} = \frac{\dot y}{5}

\dot \theta = \frac{5\cdot \dot y}{25+y^{2}}

Where:

\dot \theta - Rate of change of the angle of elevation, measured in sexagesimal degrees.

\dot y - Vertical speed of the rocket, measured in kilometers per hour.

If we know that y = 4\,km and \dot y = 400\,\frac{km}{h}, then the rate of change of the angle of elevation is:

\dot \theta = 48.780\,\frac{\circ}{s}

The angle of elevation of the rocket is increasing at a rate of 48.780º per second.
