Answer:

c. $\Delta p$ =0 and $\Delta k$

Explanation:

We are given that two particles collide and stick together.

If there is no external force act on the two particles then ,it is inelastic collision.

Inelastic collision: There is some loss of kinetic energy but the momentum is conserved.

According to law of conservation of momentum

Initial momentum=Final momentum

Change in momentum=Final momentum-Initial momentum=0

Change in momentum= $\Delta p=0$

Initial kinetic energy is greater than final kinetic energy.

Change in kinetic energy=Final kinetic energy-kinetic energy=- negative

$\Delta k$

Hence, option c is true.

c. $\Delta p$ =0 and $\Delta k$

Consider a spring that does not obey Hooke’s law very faithfully. One end of the spring is fixed. To keep the spring stretched o

IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

a) $W=-0.0103125\ J$

b) $W=0.0059375\ J$

c) Compressing is easier

Explanation:

Given:

Expression of force:

$F=kx-bx^2+cx^3$

where:

$k=100\ N.m^{-1}$

$b=700\ N.m^{-2}$

$c=12000\ N.m^{-3}$

$x$ when the spring is stretched

$x$ when the spring is compressed

hence,

$F=100x-700x^2+12000x^3$

a)

From the work energy equivalence the work done is equal to the spring potential energy:

here the spring is stretched so, $x=-0.05\ m$

Now,

The spring constant at this instant:

$j=\frac{F}{x}$

$j=\frac{100\times (-0.05)-700\times (-0.05)^2+12000\times (-0.05)^3}{-0.05}$

$j=-8.25\ N.m^{-1}$

Now work done:

$W=\frac{1}{2} j.x^2$

$W=0.5\times -8.25\times (-0.05)^2$

$W=-0.0103125\ J$

b)

When compressing the spring by 0.05 m

we have, $x=0.05\ m$

<u>The spring constant at this instant:</u>

$j=\frac{F}{x}$

$j=\frac{100\times (0.05)-700\times (0.05)^2+12000\times (0.05)^3}{0.05}$

$j=4.75\ N.m^{-1}$

Now work done:

$W=\frac{1}{2} j.x^2$

$W=0.5\times 4.75\times (0.05)^2$

$W=0.0059375\ J$

c)

Since the work done in case of stretching the spring is greater in magnitude than the work done in compressing the spring through the same deflection. So, the compression of the spring is easier than its stretching.

An 80.0-kg object is falling and experiences a drag force due to air resistance. The magnitude of this drag force depends on its

Alja [10]

Answer:

Terminal velocity of object = 12.58 m/s

Explanation:

We know that the terminal velocity is attained when drag force and gravitational force are of the same magnitude.

Gravitational force = mg = 80 * 9.8 = 784 N

Drag force = $12.0v+4.00v^2$

Equating both, we have

$784=12.0v+4.00v^2\\ \\ v^2+3v-196=0\\ \\ (v-12.58)(v+15.58)=0$

So v = 12.58 m/s or v = -15.58 m/s ( not possible)

So terminal velocity of object = 12.58 m/s
