The drawing shows a hydraulic chamber with a spring (spring constant = 1600 N/m) attached to the input piston and a rock of mass

40.0 kg resting on the output plunger. The piston and plunger are nearly at the same height, and each has a negligible mass. By how much is the spring compressed from its unstrained position?

Answer:

$\Delta x=245\ mm$

Explanation:

Given:

spring constant of the spring attached to the input piston, $k=1600\ N.m^{-1}$

mass subjected to the output plunger, $m=40\ kg$

<u>Now, the force due to the mass:</u>

$F=m.g$

$F=40\times 9.8$

$F=392\ N$

<u>Compression in Spring:</u>

$\Delta x=\frac{F}{k}$

$\Delta x=\frac{392}{1600}$

$\Delta x=0.245\ m$

or

$\Delta x=245\ mm$

Tex, an 85.0 kilogram rodeo bull rider is thrown from the bull after a short ride. The 520. kilogram bull chases after Tex at 13

Julli [10]

The question above can be answered through using the concept of Conservation of Momentum which may be expressed as,
m1v1 + m2v2 = mTvT
where m1 and v1 are mass and initial velocity of Tex, 2s are that of the bull, and the Ts are the total. Then substituting,
(85 kg)(3 m/s) + (520 kg)(13 m/s) = (520 + 85)(vT)
The value of vT obtained from above equation is 11.6 m/s

a ball on a string makes 30.0 revolutions in 14.4s, in a circle of radius 0.340m. what is its period.(unit=s)

STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

0.480 seconds

Explanation:

The period is the time for 1 revolution. Writing a proportion:

14.4 s / 30.0 rev = t / 1 rev

t = 0.480 s

The period is 0.480 seconds.

If 500 thousand btus of energy are available to raise the temperature of a water boiler from 20Â°f to 100Â°f, how many gallons o

sashaice [31]

In this question, you are given the energy( 500,000btus) and the temperature difference( 100F-20F= 80F). You are asked to find the volume of water.
1 BTU mean 1 degree of F increased for 1 pound mass. First, we can calculate the mass of the water in lb unit. The calculation would be:

mass= energy/temperature increase = 500,000/80= 6250lb.

Then we need to convert the weight into gallons. The calculation would be:
6250lb x kg/2.204lb x 1kg/m3 x 264.172 gallons/m3= 3638969.3 gallons

A 5.00μF parallel-plate capacitor is connected to a 12.0 V battery. After the capacitor is fully charged, the battery is disconn

EastWind [94]

(a) 12.0 V

In this problem, the capacitor is connected to the 12.0 V, until it is fully charged. Considering the capacity of the capacitor, $C=5.00 \mu F$ , the charged stored on the capacitor at the end of the process is

$Q=CV=(5.00 \mu F)(12.0 V)=60 \mu C$

When the battery is disconnected, the charge on the capacitor remains unchanged. But the capacitance, C, also remains unchanged, since it only depends on the properties of the capacitor (area and distance between the plates), which do not change. Therefore, given the relationship

$V=\frac{Q}{C}$

and since neither Q nor C change, the voltage V remains the same, 12.0 V.

(b) (i) 24.0 V

In this case, the plate separation is doubled. Let's remind the formula for the capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor:

$C=\frac{\epsilon_0 \epsilon_r A}{d}$

where:

$\epsilon_0$ is the permittivity of free space

$\epsilon_r$ is the relative permittivity of the material inside the capacitor

A is the area of the plates

d is the separation between the plates

As we said, in this case the plate separation is doubled: d'=2d. This means that the capacitance is halved: $C'=\frac{C}{2}$ . The new voltage across the plate is given by

$V'=\frac{Q}{C'}$

and since Q (the charge) does not change (the capacitor is now isolated, so the charge cannot flow anywhere), the new voltage is

$V'=\frac{Q}{C'}=\frac{Q}{C/2}=2 \frac{Q}{C}=2V$

So, the new voltage is

$V'=2 (12.0 V)=24.0 V$

(c) (ii) 3.0 V

The area of each plate of the capacitor is given by:

$A=\pi r^2$

where r is the radius of the plate. In this case, the radius is doubled: r'=2r. Therefore, the new area will be

$A'=\pi (2r)^2 = 4 \pi r^2 = 4A$

While the separation between the plate was unchanged (d); so, the new capacitance will be

$C'=\frac{\epsilon_0 \epsilon_r A'}{d}=4\frac{\epsilon_0 \epsilon_r A}{d}=4C$

So, the capacitance has increased by a factor 4; therefore, the new voltage is

$V'=\frac{Q}{C'}=\frac{Q}{4C}=\frac{1}{4} \frac{Q}{C}=\frac{V}{4}$

which means

$V'=\frac{12.0 V}{4}=3.0 V$

An elevator held by a single cable is ascending but slowing down. Is the work done by tension positive, negative, or zero? What

inessss [21]

Explanation:

1.) Work = Force*Distance

2.) The direction of motion lies in the same direction as the tension in the cable. So the work done by tension would be positive.

3.) The direction of the weight (due to gravity) would act opposite to the direction of motion of the elevator, so work done by gravity becomes negative.
