You compress a spring by a certain distance. then you decide to compress it further so that its elastic potential energy increas

es by another 50%. what was the percent increase in the spring's compression distance?

Elastic potential energy = 1/2 k * change of x^2
k- coefficient
x - change in length.
to increase energy 1.5 times you have to change x (compress) into \sqrt{1.5}  times (it's abot 1.22 or 22%)

Consider a system of two particles: ball A with a mass m is moving to the right a speed 2v and ball B with a mass 3m is moving t
arlik [135]

Answer:

Explanation:

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

System of two particle

Ball A has mass

Ma = m

Ball A is moving to the right (positive x axis) with velocity of

Va = 2v •i

Ball B has a mass

Mb = 3m

Ball B is moving to left (negative x axis) with a velocity of

Vb = -v •i

Velocity of centre of mass Vcm?

Velocity of centre of mass can be calculated using

Vcm = 1/M ΣMi•Vi

Where M is sum of mass

M = M1 + M2 + M3 +...

Therefore,

Vcm=[1/(Ma + Mb)] × (Ma•Va +Mb•Vb

Rearranging for better understanding

Vcm = (Ma•Va + Mb•Vb) / ( Ma + Mb)

Vcm = (m•2v + 3m•-v) / (m + 3m)

Vcm = (2mv — 3mv) / 4m

Vcm = —mv / 4m

Vcm = —v / 4

Vcm = —¼V •i

What role does voltage play in the formation or use of an electromagnet?
Dafna11 [192]
<span>Voltage overcomes the resistance of the electromagnet winding to force a current through that resistance. The field strength is proportional to the coil current. More voltage pushes more current. More voltage builds up the current faster, as well as forcing it to a higher final value. </span>

Determine the centripetal force upon a 40-kg child who makes 10 revolution around the cliffhanger in 29.3 seconds.the radius of
zysi [14]

Answer:

The centripetal force acting on the child is 39400.56 N.

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the child is, m=40\ kg

Radius of the barrel is, R=2.90\ m

Number of revolutions are, n =10

Time taken for 10 revolutions is, t=29.3\ s

Therefore, the time period of the child is given as:

T=\frac{n}{t}=\frac{10}{29.3}=0.341\ s

Now, angular velocity is related to time period as:

\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}=\frac{2\pi}{0.341}=18.43\ rad/s

Now, centripetal force acting on the child is given as:

F_{c}=m\omega^2 R\\F_{c}=40\times (18.43)^2\times 2.90\\F_{c}=40\times 339.66\times 2.90\\F_{c}=39400.56\ N

Therefore, the centripetal force acting on the child is 39400.56 N.

What is the relationship between the speed of an object and its kinetic energy?
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

For the purposes of your question, we can think of speed and velocity as being the same thing. Therefore, the kinetic energy of an object is proportional to the square of its velocity (speed). In other words, If there is a twofold increase in speed, the kinetic energy will increase by a factor of four.
