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

Physics
1 answer:
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.

A uniform rectangular plate is hanging vertically downward from a hinge that passes along its left edge. By blowing air at 11.0
Serjik [45]

Answer:

The airspeed must be 7.78 m/s for the rectangular plate kept at 30°.

Explanation:

By looking at the images below wee see that the airspeed on one side of the rectangular plate decreases the statical pressure over this side. Since over the downside, the pressure still bein the atmospheric pressure. This difference in pressure produces a lift force in the plate. The list force is the net force obtained between the difference of the forces that produce the pressure over the upside and the downside:

F_{lift}=F_{up} - F_{dw}=0.5*p*V^2

Where up and down relate to what movement the forces produce. And p and V are the respective air density and velocity.

When the plate is kept horizontal the lift force balance the moment due to the weight of the plate and considering that both forces act at the same point:

F_{lift}=0.5*p*V^2=W

By replacing the known values it is possible to find the plate's weight:

F_{lift}=0.5*1.2 \frac{kg}{m^{3}}*(11 m/s)^2=W

W=72.6 N

When the plate kept to 30° from the vertical the moment equation balance is written as:

F_{lift}=0.5*p*V^2=W*sen(30\°)

The sine of 30° is due to the weight is 30° oriented, therefore the new value for the airspeed is:

V=\sqrt(W*sen(30\°)/0.5p)

V=\sqrt(\frac{72.6 N * 0.5}{0.5*1.2 kg/m^3})

V=\sqrt(60.5 \frac{N}{kg/m^3})

V=\sqrt(60.5 \frac{kg.m/s^2}{kg/m^3})

V=\sqrt(60.5 \frac{m^2}{s^2})

V= 7.78 m/s

In an isolated system, the total heat given off by warmer substances equals the total heat energy gained by cooler substances. N
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

The temperature of the cooler substance was close to the room temperature. Therefore, the system experienced less change

Explanation:

Generally, in a closed system containing two bodies at different temperatures, there is a flow of heat energy from the body at a higher temperature to the body at a lower temperature. The effect is more significant when there is a large temperature difference between the bodies. However, if the temperature difference is small or insignificant, the change will be less.

An electron moves with a constant horizontal velocity of 3.0 × 106 m/s and no initial vertical velocity as it enters a deflector
Ghella [55]

Answer:

a = 5.05 x 10¹⁴ m/s²

Explanation:

Consider the motion along the horizontal direction

v_{x} = velocity along the horizontal direction = 3.0 x 10⁶ m/s

t = time of travel

X = horizontal distance traveled = 11 cm = 0.11 m

Time of travel can be given as

t = \frac{X}{v_{x}}

inserting the values

t = 0.11/(3.0 x 10⁶)

t = 3.67 x 10⁻⁸ sec

Consider the motion along the vertical direction

Y = vertical distance traveled = 34 cm = 0.34 m

a = acceleration = ?

t = time of travel  = 3.67 x 10⁻⁸ sec

v_{y} = initial velocity along the vertical direction = 0 m/s

Using the kinematics equation

Y = v_{y} t + (0.5) a t²

0.34 = (0) (3.67 x 10⁻⁸) + (0.5) a (3.67 x 10⁻⁸)²

a = 5.05 x 10¹⁴ m/s²

One component of a metal sculpture consists of a solid cube with an edge of length 38.9 cm. The alloy used to make the cube has
vovangra [49]

Answer:

The mass of the cube is 420.8 kg.

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of edge = 38.9 cm

Density \rho= 7.15 \times10^{3}\ kg/m^3

We need to calculate the volume of cube

Using formula of volume

V = 38.9^3

V=0.058863\ m^3

We need to calculate the mass of the cube

Using formula of density

\rho = \dfrac{m}{V}

m = V\times\rho

m =0.058863\times7.15 \times10^{3}

m=420.8\ kg

Hence, The mass of the cube is 420.8 kg.

750 million years ago, there was enough Uranium-235 present in Oklo, Gabon to have a natural fission reactor occur and generate
Komok [63]
<span>With a half-life of 700 million years, U-235 would have had twice as much mass at a time 700 MYA. This would have put the mass at 100kg at that time. Going back another 50 million years would be (50/700) or 1/14 of the half-life, or (1/2 * 1/14), or 1/28 of the total mass. 1/28 of 100kg is 3.57kg, so the amount present at the 750MYA mark would be approximately 103.57kg of U-235.</span>
