Section 1: Basic Energy Relationships

1 answer:

7 0

As the coaster car rolls down the track from A to E, the potential energy values decrease and the kinetic energy value increase and the total mechanical energy values remain constant. The potential energy is greatest at point A and smallest at point E. However, the kinetic energy is smallest at point A and largest at point E.

According the principle of conservation of mechanical energy, as the potential energy decreases, the kinetic energy increases.

$P.E + K.E = M.A$

At point A, the coater has maximum potential energy.

At point E, the coaster has maximum kinetic energy.

We can fill the blanks as follows;

Based on the principle of conservation of mechanical energy, if the second simulation occurs at the same condition as the first, the height reached by coaster will be same.

A transparent oil with index of refraction 1.28 spills on the surface of water (index of refraction 1.33), producing a maximum o

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

The thickness of the oil slick is $1.95\times10^{-7}\ m$

Explanation:

Given that,

Index of refraction = 1.28

Wave length = 500 nm

Order m = 1

We need to calculate the thickness of oil slick

Using formula of thickness

$2nt= m\lambda$

Where, n = Index of refraction

t = thickness

$\lambda$ = wavelength

Put the value into the formula

$2\times1.28 \times t=1\times\times500\times10^{-9}$

$t = \dfrac{1\times\times500\times10^{-9}}{2\times1.28 }$

$t=1.95\times10^{-7}\ m$

Hence, The thickness of the oil slick is $1.95\times10^{-7}\ m$

The ms = 0.5645 and mk=0.1113 for a 30 N box on level ground. What level force is needed to start the box moving

nevsk [136]

Answer:

16.935 N

Explanation:

In order to make the box start moving, the level force applied on the box (F) must be greater than the force of static friction that keeps the box at rest, which is equal to

$F_f = \mu_s (mg)$

where

$\mu_s = 0.5645$ is the coefficient of static friction

(mg) = 30 N is the weight of the box

Therefore, the condition for F must be:

$F \geq F_f\\F \geq \mu_k (mg)=(0.5645)(30 N)=16.935 N$

So, the applied force must be greater than this value.

S_A_V [24]

Answer:

1keff=1k1+1k2

see further explanation

Explanation:for clarification

Show that the effective force constant of a series combination is given by 1keff=1k1+1k2. (Hint: For a given force, the total distance stretched by the equivalent single spring is the sum of the distances stretched by the springs in combination. Also, each spring must exert the same force. Do you see why?

From Hooke's law , we know that the force exerted on an elastic object is directly proportional to the extension provided that the elastic limit is not exceeded.

Now the spring is in series combination

F $\alpha$ e

F=ke

k=f/e.........*

where k is the force constant or the constant of proportionality

k=f/e

$f_{eff} =f_{1} +f_{2}$ ............................1

also for effective force constant

divide all through by extension

1) Total force is

Ft=F1+F2

Ft=k1e1+k2e2

F = k(e1+e2) 2)

Since force on the 2 springs is the same, so

k1e1=k2e2

e1=F/k1 and e2=F/k2,

and e1+e2=F/keq

Substituting e1 and e2, you get

1/keq=1/k1+1/k2

Hint: For a given force, the total distance stretched by the equivalent single spring is the sum of the distances stretched by the springs in combination.
