Answer:
The elastic potential energy is zero.
The net force acting on the spring is zero.
Explanation:
The equilibrium position of a spring is the position that the spring has when its neither compressed nor stretched - it is also called natural length of the spring.
Let's now analyze the different statements:
The spring constant is zero. --> false. The spring constant is never zero.
The elastic potential energy is at a maximum --> false. The elastic potential energy of a spring is given by
where k is the spring constant and x the displacement. Therefore, the elastic potential energy is maximum when x, the displacement, is maximum.
The elastic potential energy is zero. --> true. As we saw from the equation above, the elastic potential energy is zero when the displacement is zero (at the equilibrium position).
The displacement of the spring is at a maxi num --> false, for what we said above
The net force acting on the spring is zero. --> true, as the spring is neither compressed nor stretched
Explanation:
It is given that,
Magnetic field, B = 0.5 T
Speed of the proton, v = 60 km/s = 60000 m/s
The helical path followed by the proton shown has a pitch of 5.0 mm, p = 0.005 m
We need to find the angle between the magnetic field and the velocity of the proton. The pitch of the helix is the product of parallel component of velocity and time period. Mathematically, it is given by :
So, the angle between the magnetic field and the velocity of the proton is 50.58 degrees. Hence, this is the required solution.
