Answer:

D: W.

Explanation:

For an ideal spring connected to weight W

Now here since both sides we have same weight connected  so the system will always remains at rest

So here we have

W - W = ma

a = 0

so here acceleration will be zero for the given system

now we can find the tension force in the string on each side as

T - W = ma

T = W

so here tension on string on side will be same and it is equal to W

so the reading will of the scale is W

The reading on the scale is the tension on the string that connects the two objecst. In order to support the blocks it must pull the weights by a force magnitude of W. So, the tension of the rope is W. Therefore, the reading on the scale is W, D.

A block of mass m is pushed up against a spring with spring constant k until the spring has been compressed a distance x from eq
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:d

Explanation:

Spring is compressed to a distance of x from its equilibrium position

Work done by block on the spring is equal to change in elastic potential energy

i.e. Work done by block W=\frac{1}{2}kx^2

therefore spring will also done an equal opposite amount of work on the block in the absence of external force

Thus work done by spring on the block W=-\frac{1}{2}kx^2

Thus option d is correct

Un tubo de acero de 40000 kilómetros forma un anillo que se ajusta bien a la circunferencia de la tierra. Imagine que las person
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

82.76m

Explanation:

In order to find the distance of the steel ring to the ground, when its temperature has raised by 1°C, you first calculate the radius of the steel tube before its temperature increases.

You use the formula for the circumference of the steel ring:

C=2\pi r    (1)

C: circumference of the ring = 40000 km = 4*10^7m (you assume the circumference is the length of the steel tube)

you solve for r in the equation (1):

r=\frac{C}{2\pi}=\frac{4*10^7m}{2\pi}=6,366,197.724m

Next, you use the following formula to calculate the change in the length of the tube, when its temperature increases by 1°C:

L=Lo[1+\alpha \Delta T]         (2)

L: final length of the tube = ?

Lo: initial length of the tube = 4*10^7m

ΔT = change in the temperature of the steel tube = 1°C

α: thermal coefficient expansion of steel = 13*10^-6 /°C

You replace the values of the parameters in the equation (2):

L=(4*10^7m)(1+(13*10^{-6}/ \°C)(1\°C))=40,000,520m

With the new length of the tube, you can calculate the radius of a ring formed with the tube. You again solve the equation (1) for r:

r'=\frac{C}{2\pi}=\frac{40,000,520m}{2\pi}=6,366,280.484m

Finally, you compare both r and r' radius:

r' - r = 6,366,280.484m - 6,366,197.724m = 82.76m

Hence, the distance to the ring from the ground is 82.76m

An electric drill transfers 200 J of energy into a useful kinetic energy store. It also transfers 44 J of energy by sound and 48
kramer

Answer:

Er = 108 [J]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must understand that the total energy is 200 [J]. Of this energy 44 [J] are lost in sound and 48 [J] are lost in heat. In such a way that these energy values must be subtracted from the total of the kinetic energy.

200 - 44 - 48 = Er

Where:

Er = remaining energy [J]

Er = 108 [J]

A satellite, orbiting the earth at the equator at an altitude of 400 km, has an antenna that can be modeled as a 1.76-m-long rod
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

The inducerd emf is 1.08 V

Solution:

As per the question:

Altitude of the satellite, H = 400 km

Length of the antenna, l = 1.76 m

Magnetic field, B = 8.0\times 10^{- 5}\ T

Now,

When a conducting rod moves in a uniform magnetic field linearly with velocity, v, then the potential difference due to its motion is given by:

e = - l(vec{v}\times \vec{B})

Here, velocity v is perpendicular to the rod

Thus

e = lvB           (1)

For the orbital velocity of the satellite at an altitude, H:

v = \sqrt{\frac{Gm_{E}}{R_{E}} + H}

where

G = Gravitational constant

m_{e} = 5.972\times 10^{24}\ kg = mass of earth

R_{E} = 6371\ km = radius of earth

v = \sqrt{\frac{6.67\times 10^{- 11}\times 5.972\times 10^{24}}{6371\times 1000 + 400\times 1000} = 7670.018\ m/s

Using this value value in eqn (1):

e = 1.76\times 7670.018\times 8.0\times 10^{- 5} = 1.08\ V
