The desperate contestants on a TV survival show are very hungry. The only food they can see is some fruit hanging on a branch high in a tree. Fortunately, they have a spring they can use to launch a rock. The spring constant is 900 N/m, and they can compress the spring a maximum of 45 cm. All the rocks on the island seem to have a mass of 500 g.
a) With what speed does the rock leave the spring?
b) To what height can the rock be launched?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) v = 18.86 m / s, b)  h = 8.85 m

Explanation:

a) For this exercise we can use the conservation of energy relations.

Starting point. Like the compressed spring

          Em₀ = K_e + U = ½ k x² + m g x

the zero of the datum is placed at the point of the uncompressed spring

Final point. With the spring if compress

           Em_f = K = ½ m v²

how energy is conserved

          Em₀ = Em_f

          ½ k x² + m g x = ½ m v²

   

           v² = [tex]\frac{k}{m}[/tex]  x² + 2gx

let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system

          m = 500 g = 0.500 kg

          x = -45 cm = -0.45 m

the negative sign is because the distance in below zero of the reference frame

       

let's calculate

           v² = [tex]\frac{900}{0.500}[/tex]  0.45² + 2 9.8 (- 0.45)

           v = √355.68

           v = 18.86 m / s

b) For this part we use the conservation of energy with the same initial point and as an end point at the point where the rock stops

           Em_f = U = m g h

           Em₀ = Em_f

            ½ k x²2 + m g x = m g h

            h = ½  [tex]\frac{k}{g}[/tex]   x² + x

let's calculate

           h = [tex]\frac{1}{2} \ \frac{900}{9.8 } \ 0.45^2[/tex] - 0.45

           h = 8.85 m

measured from the point where the spring is uncompressed

A 1.5 V battery produces 41.8 mA when it is across a 30.0 Ω load. The potential difference across the battery's terminals is

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

V = I R

V = 0.0418 * 30

V = 1.254

this battery seems dead  :P

Answer:

Explanation:

Let's just assume that the battery has no internal  resistance. If we get an absurd answer, we'll come back and look at that assumption.

E = I * R

I = 41.8/1000 amps = 0.0418

R = 30.0 ohms

E = 0.0418 * 30

E = 1.254 volts. This is an OK answer. The battery is a little old.

faraday's law states that the potential difference can be increased by... (choose all that apply)

1. using static electricity instead of current electricity

2. increase the number of coils, increase the strength of the magnet
3. using a bunch of small magnets
4. increasing the time used to power up an electromagnet
5. increase the speed of the magnet

Answers

Id say its the last option of the fourth option

Explanation:

Answer:  

1:increase the number of coils, increase the strength of the magnet

2:increase the speed of the magnet

3: increasing the time used to power up an electromagnet

Explanation:

1). Increasing the number of turns of wire in the coil – By increasing the amount of individual conductors cutting through the magnetic field, the amount of induced emf produced will be the sum of all the individual loops of the coil, so if there are 20 turns in the coil there will be 20 times more induced emf than in one piece of wire.

2). Increasing the speed of the relative motion between the coil and the magnet – If the same coil of wire passed through the same magnetic field but its speed or velocity is increased, the wire will cut the lines of flux at a faster rate so more induced emf would be produced.

3). Increasing the strength of the magnetic field – If the same coil of wire is moved at the same speed through a stronger magnetic field, there will be more emf produced because there are more lines of force to cut.

A 55.0 kg bungee jumper steps off a bridge with a light bungee cord tied to her and to the bridge. The unstretched length of the cord is 15.0 m. She reaches the bottom of her motion 40.0 m below the bridge before bouncing back. Her motion can be separated into an 15.0 m free-fall and a 25.0 m section of simple harmonic oscillation. Use the principle of conservation of energy to find the spring constant of the bungee cord.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]69.06\ \text{N/m}[/tex]

Explanation:

m = Mass of bungee jumper = 55 kg

g = Acceleration due to gravity = [tex]9.81\ \text{m/s}^2[/tex]

h = Height at the bottom = 40 m

k = Spring constant

x = Displacement of bungee cord = 25 m

Applying the principle of conservation of energy to the system we have

[tex]mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2\\\Rightarrow k=\dfrac{2mgh}{x^2}\\\Rightarrow k=\dfrac{2\times 55\times 9.81\times 40}{25^2}\\\Rightarrow k=69.06\ \text{N/m}[/tex]

The spring constant of the bungee cord is [tex]69.06\ \text{N/m}[/tex].

g A 4 lb weight stretches a spring 2 ft in equilibrium. It is attached to a damping mechanism with constant c. (a) Find the value of c for which the motion is critically damped. (b) If the motion is critically damped, find the displacement y(t) when the spring is initially displaced 6 inches above equilibrium and given a downward velocity of 3 ft/sec.

Answers

Solution :

Given :

Weight = 4 lb

Stretched of a spring in  equilibrium,Δ = 2 ft

a). We know that

F = kΔ

4 = k x 2

k = 2 lb/ft

∴ Stiffness of the spring is, k = 2 lb/ft

Motion is critically damped.

[tex]$\epsilon = 1$[/tex]

[tex]$\epsilon=\frac{C}{C_c} = 1$[/tex]

[tex]$C=C_c[/tex]

[tex]$C=C_c=\sqrt{4k_m}[/tex]

[tex]$C=\sqrt{4 \times 2 \times \left(\frac{4}{32.174}\right)}[/tex]

C = 0.99729 lb.s/ft.

b). Displacement

   [tex]$y(t)=y_0 \sin (\omega t)$[/tex]

[tex]$\dot{y}(t)= y_0 \omega \cos (\omega t)$[/tex]

[tex]$[\dot{y}(t)]_{mon}= y_0 \omega $[/tex]

Initial displacement = 6 inches

    [tex]$y_0 = 0.5 \ ft , \ \ \ \dot y (t) = 3 \ ft/sec$[/tex]

  [tex]$\Rightarrow 3=0.5 \times \omega$[/tex]

 [tex]$\Rightarrow \omega = 6$[/tex]

Therefore, displacement :

Answers

Answer:

the correct one is C,

Explanation:

The magnetic force is given by the expression

        F = q v x B

where the bold letters indicate vectors, we can find the modulus of this expression

         F = q v B sin θ

The direction of the to the force with the rule of the right hand. The thumb applies in the direction of the speed, the fingers extended in the direction of the magnetic field and if the charge is positive the palm is in the direction of the force, if the charge is megative the force is in the opposite direction to the palm of hand.

Let's analyze the different situations presented; As the particles emitted are electrons, their charge is negative.

Situation 1. The thumb points upwards, the force is towards the NW as the charge is negative, the palm points towards the SE therefore the finger points towards the SOUTHWEST which must be the direction of the magnetic field

Situation 2. the electrons go horizontally to the north the thumb points in this direction, the force is downwards, therefore the palm points upwards, the extended fingers point to the WEST

Situation 3. the thumb points to the SE towards where the electrons move, the force is upwards the palm points to the SW, therefore the fingers extended points SOUTHWEST

As a result of situations 1 and 3 the magnetic field must point in the SOUTHWEST direction.

Situation 2 gives a different result because the component of the field that is directed to the south does not create exerts and therefore cannot be detected.

The remaining three cars continue moving toward the south, now at 2.00 m/s. (a) Find the initial speed of the cars. (b) How much work did the actor do

Answers

Answer:

a)     v₀ = 2.5 m / s,   heading south.

b)  W = 1,219 10⁵ J

Explanation:

a) For this exercise we can use the conservation of the moment, we create a system formed by all the 4 cars, in this case when the last one separates the forces are intense and the moment is conserved

initial instant. Before separation

        p₀ = M v₀

final instant. When uncoupling the last car

        p_f = 3m v₁ + m v₂

where they indicate that the speed of the wagons is v₁ = 2.00 m / s and the speed of the last wagon is v₂ = 4.00 m / s

the total mass is M = 4m

how the moment is preserved

           p₀ = p_f

         4m v₀ = 3m v₁ + mv₂

         v₀ = ¾ v₁ + v₂ / 4

let's calculate

           v₀ = ¾ 2 + ¼ 4

           v₀ = 2.5 m / s

heading south.

b) work is equal to the change in kinetic energy

              W = ΔK = K_f -K_o

              W = ½ m v_f² - ½ m v₀²

               W = ½ m (v_f² -v₀²)

               W = ½ 2.50 10⁴ (4² - 2.5²2)

               W = 1,219 10⁵ J

what is the formula that describes the magnitude of impulse on an object?

Answers

Answer:

Option C.

Impulse = mass × change in velocity

Explanation:

Impulse is defined by the following the following formula:

Impulse = force (F) × time (t)

Impulse = Ft

From Newton's second law of motion,

Force = change in momentum /time

Cross multiply

Force × time = change in momentum

Recall:

Impulse = Force × time

Thus,

Impulse = change in momentum

Recall:

Momentum = mass x velocity

Momentum = mv

Chang in momentum = mass × change in velocity

Change in momentum = mΔv

Thus,

Impulse = change in momentum

Impulse = mass × change in velocity
