What are the real life applications of Hooke's Law?

Physics

Anarel [89]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

1) a rubber band

2) the spring of retractable pen

3) a spring loaded toy gun

Explanation:

Hooke's law states that; provided the elastic limit of a material is not exceeded, the force exerted on an elastic material is directly proportional to its extension. This relationship was first captured by Robert Hooke in 1660 when he asserted that 'as the extension, so is the force!'.

Hooke's law generally deals with elastic or stretchable materials. These materials can be deformed, but returned to their original shapes when the deforming force is removed. This deforming force causes an extension in the material which is directly proportional to the deforming force. That is F= Kx where K is the called the force constant, F is the deforming force and x is the magnitude of extension brought about by the force.

Various real life applications of Hooke's law have been listed in the answer. Any material that makes use of a loaded spiral spring or indeed any kind of elastic material obeys Hooke's law.

Cylinder A is moving downward with a velocity of 3 m/s when the brake is suddenly applied to the drum. Knowing that the cylinder
Xelga [282]

Answer:

Incomplete question

Check attachment for the given diagram

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial Velocity of drum

u=3m/s

Distance travelled before coming to rest is 6m

Since it comes to rest, then, the final velocity is 0m/s

v=3m/s

Using equation of motion to calculate the linear acceleration or tangential acceleration

v²=u²+2as

0²=3²+2×a×6

0=9+12a

12a=-9

Then, a=-9/12

a=-0.75m/s²

The negative sign shows that the cylinder is decelerating.

Then, a=0.75m/s²

So, using the relationship between linear acceleration and angular acceleration.

a=αr

Where

a is linear acceleration

α is angular acceleration

And r is radius

α=a/r

From the diagram r=250mm=0.25m

Then,

α=0.75/0.25

α =3rad/sec²

The angular acceleration is =3rad/s²

b. Time take to come to rest

Using equation of motion

v=u+at

0=3-0.75t

0.75t=3

Then, t=3/0.75

t=4 secs

The time take to come to rest is 4s

A hot air balloon of total mass M (including passengers and luggage) is moving with a downward acceleration of magnitude a. As i
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

The fraction of mass that was thrown out is calculated by the following Formula:

M - m = (3a/2)/(g²- (a²/2) - (ag/2))

Explanation:

We know that Force on a moving object is equal to the product of its mass and acceleration given as:

F = ma

And there is gravitational force always acting on an object in the downward direction which is equal to g = 9.8 ms⁻²

Here as a convention we will use positive sign with acceleration to represent downward acceleration and negative sign with acceleration represent upward acceleration.

Case 1:

Hot balloon of mass = M

acceleration = a

Upward force due to hot air = F = constant

Gravitational force downwards = Mg

Net force on balloon is given as:

Ma = Gravitational force - Upward Force                              

Ma = Mg - F                      (balloon is moving downwards so Mg > F)

F = Mg - Ma

F = M (g-a)

M = F/(g-a)

Case 2:

After the ballast has thrown out,the new mass is m. The new acceleration is -a/2 in the upward direction:

Net Force is given as:

-m(a/2) = mg - F        (Balloon is moving upwards so F > mg)

F = mg + m(a/2)

F = m(g + (a/2))

m = F/(g + (a/2))

Calculating the fraction of the initial mass dropped:

M-m = \frac{F}{g-a} - \frac{F}{g+\frac{a}{2} }\\M-m = F*[\frac{1}{g-a} - \frac{1}{g+\frac{a}{2} }]\\M-m = F*[\frac{(g+(a/2)) - (g-a)}{(g-a)(g+(a/2))} ]\\M-m = F*[\frac{g+(a/2) - g + a)}{(g-a)(g+(a/2))} ]\\M-m = F*[\frac{(3a/2)}{g^{2}-\frac{a^{2}}{2}-\frac{ag}{2}} ]

Two parallel co-axial disks are floating in deep space (far from sun and planets). Each disk is 1 meter in diameter and the disk
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

T₂ = 5646 K

Explanation:

Let's start by finding the power received by the first disc, for this we use Stefan's law

          P = σ. A e T⁴

Where next is the Stefam-Bolztmann constant with value 5,670 10-8 W / m² K⁴, A is the area of ​​the disk, T the absolute temperature and e the emissivity that for a black body is  1

The intensity is defined as the amount of radiation that arrives per unit area. For this we assume that the radiation expands uniformly in all directions, the intensity is

           I = P / A

Writing this expression for both discs

          I₁ A₁ = I₂ A₂

          I₂ = I₁ A₁ / A₂

The area of ​​a sphere is

          A = 4π r²

           I₂ = I₁ (r₁ / r₂)²

          r₂ = r₁ ± 5

          I₁ = I₂ ( (r₁ ± 5)/r₁)²

.

        Let's write the Stefan equation

         P / A = σ e T⁴

          I = σ e T⁴

This is the intensity that affects the disk, substitute in the intensity equation

         σ e₁ T₁⁴ = σ e₂ T₂⁴ (r₂ / r₁)²

The first disc indicates that it is a black body whereby e₁ = 1, the second disc, as it is painted white, the emissivity is less than 1, the emissivity values ​​of the white paint change between 0.90 and 0.95, for this calculation let's use 0.90 matt white

        e₁ T₁⁴ = T₂⁴   (r1 + 5)²/r₁²

       T₁ = T₂  {(e₂/e₁)}^{1/4}  √(1 ± 1/ r₁)  

If we assume that r₁ is large, which is possible since the disks are in deep space, we can expand the last term

           (1 ±x) n = 1 ± n x

Where x = 5 / r₁ << 1

We replace

          T₁ = T₂ {(e₂/e₁)}^{1/4}  (1 ± ½   5/r1)

           T₁ = T₂ {(e₂)}^{1/4}   (1 ± 5/2 1/r1)

If the discs are far from the star, they indicate that they are in deep space, the distance r₁ from being grade by which we can approximate; this is a very strong approach

              T₁ = T₂  {(e₂)}^{1/4} ¼

              T<u>₁</u> = T₂  0.90.9^{1/4}

               5500 = T₂  0.974

               T₂ = 5646 K
