A spring with a spring constant of 1730 N/m is compressed 0.136 m from its equilibrium position with an object having a mass of

1.72 kg. The spring is released and the object moves along a frictionless surface when it reaches a small embankment. If the speed of the object is 2.45 m/s at location A, what is the embankment height h

Given :

A spring with a spring constant of 1730 N/m is compressed 0.136 m from its equilibrium position with an object having a mass of 1.72 kg.

To Find :

The embankment in the height.

Solution :

Since no external force is acting in the system, therefore total energy will be conserved.

Initial kinetic energy of the object = Energy stored in spring

K.E _i = \dfrac{kx^2}{2}\\\\K.E_i = \dfrac{1730\times 0.136^2}{2}\\\\K.E_i = 16\ J

Also, initial potential energy is 0.

Now,

K.E_i + P.E_i = K.E_f + P.E_f\\\\16 + 0 = \dfrac{1.72\times 2.45^2}{2}+ mgh\\\\mgh =16 - 5.16\\\\h = \dfrac{16 - 5.16}{1.72 \times 9.8}\\\\h = 0.64\ m

Therefore, the embankment height is 0.64 m.

A 600W toaster, 1200W iron and a 100W bulb are all connected to household 120V circuit. a) find the current drawn by each applia
Advocard [28]

Answer:

(a) %a, 10 A, 0.833 A

(b) 12 ohm

(c) $22.8

Explanation:

Power of toaster, P1 = 600 W

Power of iron, P2 = 1200 W

Power of bulb, P3 = 100 W

V = 120 V

As they are in household circuit, so they are connected in parallel, so the voltage is same for all.

(a) Use the formula P = V x i

Current in toaster, i1 = P1 / V = 600 / 120 = 5 A

Current in iron, i2 = P2 / V = 1200 / 120 = 10 A

Current in bulb, i3 = P3 / V = 100 / 120 = 0.833 A

(b) Resistance of heating element of iron is R2.

V = i2 x R2

120 = 10 x R2

R2 = 12 ohm

(c) Total energy consumed in 24 hours for 5 days

                              = (600 + 1200 + 100) x 24 x 5 = 228000 Wh = 228 KWh

Cost of 1 KWh = $0.1

Cost of 228 KWh = 0.1 x 228 = $22.8

A combination of two identical resistors connected in series has an equivalent resistance of 12. ohms. What is the equivalent re
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

R1 + R2 = R = 12 for resistors in series - so R1 = R2 if they are identical

2 R1 = 12         and R1 = R2 = 6 ohms

1 / R = 1 / R1 + 1 / R2     for resistors in parallel

R = R1 * R2 / (R1 + R2) = 6 * 6 / (6 + 6) = 3

The equivalent resistance would be 3 ohms if connected in parallel

You have a length of tubing that is closed at one end. You cut the tubing into two pieces of unequal length, giving you a tube o
umka21 [38]

Answer:

The funda mental frequency of the original tube is 182Hz.

Explanation:

See the attachment for the calculation steps.

In order to calculate the fundamental frequency of the original closed tube we need to find the length of the tube which is equal to the sum of the lengths of the two new tubes.

For closed tubes

f = nv/4L (n = 1, 3, 5,...n)

f = nv/2L (n = 1, 2, 3,...n)

The details of calculation can be found below in the attachment.
