A spring with k = 136 N/m is compressed by 12.5 cm. How much elastic potential energy does the

Physics

Lorico [155]2 years ago

As we know,

  • \boxed{ \boxed{potential \:  \: energy =  \dfrac{1}{2} k {x}^{2} }}

where,

  • k = 136 N/m

  • x = 12.5 cm = 0.125 m

now, let's solve to find potential energy :

  • p =  \dfrac{1}{2}  \times 136 \times 0.125 \times 0.125

  • p =    \dfrac{68 \times 125 \times 125} {1000 \times 1000}

  • 1.0625 \:  \:  \: joules

What is the amount of thermal energy that can be stored in an object depends on?
77julia77 [94]
Thermal energy is the total energy of all the molecules in an object. The thermal energy of an object depends on three things: 4 the number of molecules in the object 4 the temperature of the object (average molecular motion) 4 the arrangement of the object's molecules (states of matter).

Hope this helps

A box of mass 50 kg is pushed hard enough to set it in motion across a flat surface. Then a 99-N pushing force is needed to keep
salantis [7]
The box is kept in motion at constant velocity by a force of F=99 N. Constant velocity means there is no acceleration, so the resultant of the forces acting on the box is zero. Apart from the force F pushing the box, there is only another force acting on it in the horizontal direction: the frictional force F_f which acts in the opposite direction of the motion, so in the opposite direction of F.
Therefore, since the resultant of the two forces must be zero,
F-F_f=0
so
F=F_f

The frictional force can be rewritten as
F_f = \mu m g
where m=50 kg, g=9.81 m/s^2. Re-arranging, we can solve this equation to find \mu, the coefficient of dynamic friction:
\mu =  \frac{F}{mg}= \frac{99 N}{(50 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)}  =0.20

Masses M1 and M2 are initially separated by a distance Ra. Mass M2 is now moved further away from mass M1 such that their final
Komok [63]

Answer:

A. Wab > 0.

Explanation:

Work done will be equal to change in gravitational energy in the whole process .

When Masses M₁ and M₂ are initially separated by a distance Ra

their gravitational energy

= - G M₁ M₂ / Ra

When mass M₂ is now moved further away from mass M₁ such that their final separation is Rb

their gravitational energy

= - G M₁ M₂ / Rb

Change in gravitational energy

= - G M₁ M₂ / Rb - (  - G M₁ M₂ / Ra )

=  G M₁ M₂ / Ra -  - G M₁ M₂ / Rb

=   G M₁ M₂ ( 1 / Ra - Rb )

As Ra < Rb

1/Ra > 1 / Rb

So change in gravitational energy is positive

So

Wab > 0.

A U-shaped tube open to the air at both ends contains some mercury. A quantity of water is carefully poured into the left arm of
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) gauge pressure will be due to water column of length 15 cm .

pressure = h d g , h is height of column , d is density of column and g is gravitational acceleration .

= .15 x 10³ x 9.8

= 1470 Pa .

b )

Let due of weight of water column , mercury level in left column goes down by distance h . The level of mercury in right column will rise by the same distance ie by distance h .

So mercury column of 2h height is balancing the water column of height 15 cm

2h x 13.6 x 10³ x g = .15 x 10³ x g

h = .15 / (2 x 13.6)

= .55 x 10⁻² m

= . 55 cm

Difference of height of water column and mercury column

= 15 - 2 x .55 cm

= 13.9 cm .
