Solution:
(a) The work done by the spring is given by
W= \frac{1}{2} k (\Delta x)^2 &#10;
where k is the elastic constant of the spring and \Delta x is the stretch between the initial and final position. Since x1=-8 in=-0.203 m and x2=5 in=0.127 m, we have
W= \frac{1}{2} \cdot 500 N/m \cdot (0.127m-(-0.203m))^2=27.25 J

(b) The work done by the weight is the product of the component of the weight parallel to the inclined plane and the displacement of the cart:
W_W = -F_{//} (x_2 -x_1)
where  the negative sign is given by the fact that F_{//} points in the opposite direction of the displacement of the cart, and where
F_{//}=m g sin 15^{\circ}=6 kg \cdot 9.81m/s^2 \cdot sin 15^{\circ}=15.2 N
therefore, the work done by the weight is
W_W=-15.2 N \cdot (0.203m-(-0.127m))=-5.02 J

When 1,250^3/4 is written in simplest radical form, which value remains under the radical?
GaryK [48]

Answer:

125\sqrt[4]{8}

Explanation:

A number of the form

a^{\frac{m}{n}}

can be re-written in the radical form as follows:

\sqrt[n]{a^m}

In this problem, we have:

a = 1,250

m = 3

n = 4

So, if we apply the formula, we get

1,250^{\frac{3}{4}}=\sqrt[4]{(1,250)^3}

Then, we can rewrite 1250 as

1250 = 2\cdot 5^4

So we can rewrite the expression as

=\sqrt[4]{(2\cdot 5^4)^3}=5^3 \sqrt[4]{2^3}=125\sqrt[4]{8}

While playing her guitar , karen plucks one string with increasing levels of force. What effect does this have on the sound prod
Lena [83]

Answer:

The amplitude of vibration of string will increase due to which loudness of sound will increase

Explanation:

As we know that the guitar is based on the principle of Resonance. When string of the guitar vibrates at a given frequency then the sound produced in the hollow part of the guitar will also be at same frequency.

This is known as resonance condition, so guitar will produce same frequency sound as that of frequency of string.

Now if the string is plucked with increasing level of force then it will increase the amplitude of vibrations of the string due to which the sound produced in the guitar will also be of same level.

So here we can say that amplitude and intensity of sound related as

I = kA^2

so on increasing amplitude the intensity will increase and hence it will produce loud sound

The pressure in a compressed air storage tank is 1200 kPa. What is the tank’s pressure in (a) kN and m units; (b) kg, m, and s u
elixir [45]

Explanation:

Given data

Pressure P=1200 kPa

To find

Pressure in

(a) kN/m²

(b) kg/m.s²

(c) kg/km.s²

Solution

For Part (a)

P=(1200kPa)(\frac{1kN/m^{2} }{1kPa} )\\P=1200kN/m^{2}

For Part (b)

P=(1200kPa)(\frac{1kN/m^{2} }{1kPa} )(\frac{1000kg.m/s^{2} }{1kN} )\\P=1,200,000kg/m.s^{2}

For Part (c)

P=(1200kPa)(\frac{1kN/m^{2} }{1kPa} )(\frac{1000kg.m/s^{2} }{1kN} )(\frac{100m}{1km} )\\P=1,200,000,000kg/km.s^{2}
