Answer: Approximately 22 cm

=========================================================

Explanation:

The unstretched spring is 12.0 cm long. When adding a load of 5.0 N, it stretches to 15.0 cm. This is a displacement of 15.0 - 12.0 = 3.0 cm, which is the amount the spring is stretched.

Convert this displacement to meters (so that it fits with the meters unit buried in Newtons).

3.0 cm = (3.0)/100 = 0.03 m

Apply Hooke's Law to find the spring constant k

F = -kx

5.0 = -k*(0.03)

k = -(5.0)/(0.03)

k = -166.667 approximately

Now we must find the displacement x when F = 15 newtons

F = -kx

-kx = F

x = F/(-k)

x = -F/k

x = -15/(-166.667)

x = 0.089 approximately

x = 0.1

The displacement to one decimal place is about 0.1 meters, which converts to 100*0.1 = 10 cm

So the spring will be stretched to about 12cm+10cm = 22 cm

kykrilka [37]

Answer:

Magnitude of force on wheel B is 4 N

Explanation:

Given that

$I=mr^2$

For wheel A

m= 1 kg

d= 1 m,r= 0.5 m

F=1 N

We know that

T= F x r

T=1 x 0.5 N.m

T= 0.5 N.m

T= I α

Where I is the moment of inertia and α is the angular acceleration

$I_A=1 \times 0.5^2\ kg.m^2$

$I_A=0.25\ kg.m^2$

T= I α

0.5= 0.25 α

$\alpha = 2\ rad/s^2$

For Wheel B

m= 1 kg

d= 2 m,r=1 m

$I_B=1 \times 1^2\ kg.m^2$

$I_B=1 \ kg.m^2$

Given that angular acceleration is same for both the wheel

$\alpha = 2\ rad/s^2$

T= I α

T= 1 x 2

T= 2 N.m

Lets force on wheel is F then

T = F x r

2 = F x 1

So F= 2 N

Magnitude of force on wheel B is 2 N

A playground slide is in the form of an arc of a circle with a maximum height of 3.0 m, with a radius of 8.5 m, and with the gro

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

a) $s \approx 6.676\,m$

Explanation:

a) Let assume that the ground is not inclined, since the bottom of the playground slide is tangent to ground. Then, the length of given by the definition of a circular arc:

$s = \frac{\pi}{4}\cdot R$

$s=\frac{\pi}{4}\cdot (8.5\,m)$

$s \approx 6.676\,m$

The bottom of the slide has a height of zero. The physical phenomenon around Dr. Ritchey's daughter is modelled after Principle of Energy Conservation. The child begins at rest:

$U_{g,A} = K_{B} + W_{fr}$

$m\cdot g \cdot h_{A} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot v_{B}^{2} + f\cdot s$

The average frictional force is cleared within the expression:

$f = \frac{m\cdot (g\cdot h_{A}-\frac{1}{2}\cdot v_{B}^{2})}{s}$

$f = \frac{(12\,kg)\cdot [(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )\cdot (3\,m)-\frac{1}{2}\cdot (4.5\,\frac{m}{s} )^{2} ]}{6.676\,m}$

$f = 34.684\,N$
