Answer: 324.135 kJ

Explanation:

Given

Mass of dropping is $m=2250\ kg$

The initial height of dropping is $h_1=16\ m$

The final height of dropping $h_2=1.3\ m$

Gravitational potential energy is the function of height i.e.

$\Rightarrow \text{G.E.}=mgh$

Change in Gravitational Energy is

$\Rightarrow \Delta \text{G.E.}=mg(h_1-h_2)=2250\times 9.8\times (16-1.3)\\\\\Rightarrow \Delta \text{G.E.}=3,24,135\ J\approx 324.135\ kJ$

At which position would a person on earth see the entire lighted half of the moon?

Gemiola [76]

The best position for the person would be outside, under a clear sky, standing up. He should do it sometime between sunset and sunrise, from a day before until a day after the moment of Full Moon.

Two large thin metal plates are parallel and close to each other. On their inner faces, the plates have excess surface charge of

wariber [46]

Answer:

For left = 0 N/C

For right = 0 N/C

At middle = $-7.6836 * 10^{-11} \vec{i}$ N/C

Explanation:

Given data :-

б = $6.8 * 10^{-22}$ C/ m²

Considering the two thin metal plates to be non conducting sheets of charges.

Electric field is given by

$E = \frac{\sigma }{2\varepsilon }$

1) To the left of the plate

$\vec{E}= (\frac{\sigma }{2\varepsilon })(-\vec{i})+ (\frac{\sigma }{2\varepsilon })(\vec{i})$ = 0 N/C.

2) To the right of them.

$\vec{E}= (\frac{\sigma }{2\varepsilon })(-\vec{i})+ (\frac{\sigma }{2\varepsilon })(\vec{i})$ = 0 N/C.

3) Between them.

$\vec{E}= (\frac{\sigma }{2\varepsilon })(-\vec{i})+ (\frac{\sigma }{2\varepsilon })(-\vec{i})$ = $(\frac{\sigma }{\varepsilon })(-\vec{i})$ = $-\frac{6.8 * 10^{-22} }{8.85 * 10 ^{-12} } \vec{i}$ = $-7.6836 * 10^{-11} \vec{i}$ N/C

The total energy of a block—spring system is 0.18 J. The amplitude is 14.0 cm and the maximum speed is 1.25 m/s. Find: (a) the m

algol13

a) The mass is 0.23 kg

b) The spring constant is 1.25 N/m

c) The frequency is 1.42 Hz

d) The speed of the block is 1.08 m/s

Explanation:

a)

We can find the mass of the block by applying the law of conservation of energy: in fact, the total mechanical energy of the system (which is sum of elastic potential energy, PE, and kinetic energy, KE) is constant:

$E=PE+KE=const.$

The potential energy is given by

$PE=\frac{1}{2}kx^2$

where k is the spring constant and x is the displacement. When the block is crossing the position of equilibrium, x = 0, so all the energy is kinetic energy:

$E=KE_{max}=\frac{1}{2}mv_{max}^2$ (1)

where

m is the mass of the block

$v_{max}=1.25 m/s$ is the maximum speed

We also know that the total energy is

$E=0.18 J$

Re-arranging eq.(1), we can find the mass:

$m=\frac{2E}{v_{max}^2}=\frac{2(0.18)}{(1.25)^2}=0.23 kg$

b)

The maximum speed in a spring-mass system is also given by

$v_{max} =\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}} A$

where

k is the spring constant

m is the mass

A is the amplitude

Here we have:

$v_{max}=1.25 m/s$ is the maximum speed

m = 0.23 kg is the mass

A = 14.0 cm = 0.14 m is the amplitude

Solving for k, we find the spring constant

$k=\frac{v_{max}^2}{A^2}m=\frac{1.25^2}{0.14^2}(0.23)=18.3 N/m$

c)

The frequency in a spring-mass system is given by

$f=\frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$

where

k is the spring constant

m is the mass

In this problem, we have:

k = 18.3 N/m is the spring constant (found in part b)

m = 0.23 kg is the mass (found in part a)

Substituting and solving for f, we find the frequency of the system:

$f=\frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{18.3}{0.23}}=1.42 Hz$

d)

We can solve this part by using the law of conservation of energy; in fact, we have

$E=PE+KE=\frac{1}{2}kx^2 + \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

Where v is the speed of the system when the displacement is equal to x.

We know that the total energy of the system is

E = 0.18 J

Also we know that

k = 18.3 N/m is the spring constant

m = 0.23 kg is the mass

Substituting

x = 7.00 cm = 0.07 m

We can solve the equation to find the corresponding speed v:

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2E-kx^2}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(0.18)-(18.3)(0.07)^2}{0.23}}=1.08 m/s$

A 35 kg box rests on the back of a truck. The coefficient of static friction bet?005 (part 1 of 2)A 35 kg box rests on the back

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of box=35 kg

Coefficient of static friction between box and truck bed=0.202

Acceleration due to gravity= $9.8 m/s^2$

a.We have to find the force by which the box accelerates forward.

Force by which box accelerates= $\mu mg=0.202\times 9.8\times 35$

Force by which box accelerates= $62.286 N$

b.We have to find the maximum acceleration can the truck have before the box slides.

Force =friction force

$ma=\mu mg$

$a=\mu g=9.8\times 0.202=1.9796 m/s^2$

Hence, the truck can have maximum acceleration before the box slide= $1.9796 m/s^2$
