A system contains a perfectly elastic spring, with an unstretched length of 20 cm and a spring constant of 4 N/cm.

mote1985 [20]

Answer:

a) When its length is 23 cm, the elastic potential energy of the spring is

0.18 J

b) When the stretched length doubles, the potential energy increases by a factor of four to 0.72 J

Explanation:

Hi there!

a) The elastic potential energy (EPE) is calculated using the following equation:

EPE = 1/2 · k · x²

Where:

k = spring constant.

x = stretched lenght.

Let´s calculate the elastic potential energy of the spring when it is stretched 3 cm (0.03 m).

First, let´s convert the spring constant units into N/m:

4 N/cm · 100 cm/m = 400 N/m

EPE = 1/2 · 400 N/m · (0.03 m)²

EPE = 0.18 J

When its length is 23 cm, the elastic potential energy of the spring is 0.18 J

b) Now let´s calculate the elastic potential energy when the spring is stretched 0.06 m:

EPE = 1/2 · 400 N/m · (0.06 m)²

EPE = 0.72 J

When the stretched length doubles, the potential energy increases by a factor of four to 0.72 J

A 50.-kilogram rock rolls off the edge of a cliff. if it is traveling at a speed of 24.2 m/s when it hits the ground, what is th

ElenaW [278]

The correct answer to the question is : 29.88 m.

EXPLANATION :

As per the question, the mass of the rock m = 50 Kg.

The rock is rolling off the edges of the cliff.

The final velocity of the rock when it hits the ground v = 24 .2 m/s.

Let the height of the cliff is h.

The potential energy gained by the rock at the top of the cliff = mgh.

Here, g is known as acceleration due to gravity, and g = $9.8\ m/s^2$

When the rock rolls off the edge of the cliff, the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.

When the rock hits the ground, whole of its potential energy is converted into its kinetic energy.

The kinetic energy of the rock when it touches the ground is given as -

Kinetic energy K.E = $\frac{1}{2}mv^2$ .

From above we know that -

Kinetic energy at the bottom of the cliff = potential energy at a height h

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2=\ mgh$

⇒ $v^2=\ 2gh$

⇒ $h=\ \frac{v^2}{2g}$

⇒ $h=\ \frac{(24.2)^2}{2\times 9.8}$

⇒ $h=\ 29.88\ m$

Hence, the height of the cliff is 29.88 m

a 75 kg man is standing at rest on ice while holding a 4kg ball. if the man throws the ball at a velocity of 3.50 m/s forward, w

AysviL [449]

Answer:

His resulting velocity will be 0.187 m/s backwards.

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the man is, $M=75\ kg$

Mass of the ball is, $m=4\ kg$

Initial velocity of the man is, $u_m=0\ m/s(rest)$

Initial velocity of the ball is, $u_b=0\ m/s(rest)$

Final velocity of the ball is, $v_b=3.50\ m/s$

Final velocity of the man is, $v_m=?\ m/s$

In order to solve this problem, we apply law of conservation of momentum.

It states that sum of initial momentum is equal to the sum of final momentum.

Momentum is the product of mass and velocity.

Initial momentum = Initial momentum of man and ball

Initial momentum = $Mu_m+mu_b=75\times 0+4\times 0 =0\ Nm$

Final momentum = Final momentum of man and ball

Final momentum = $Mv_m+mv_b=75\times v_m+4\times 3.50 =75v_m+14$

Now, initial momentum = final momentum

$0=75v_m+14\\\\75v_m=-14\\\\v_m=\frac{-14}{75}\\\\v_m=-0.187\ m/s$

The negative sign implies backward motion of the man.

Therefore, his resulting velocity is 0.187 m/s backwards.

Given three capacitors, c1 = 2.0 μf, c2 = 1.5 μf, and c3 = 3.0 μf, what arrangement of parallel and series connections with a 12

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

Connect C₁ to C₃ in parallel; then connect C₂ to C₁ and C₂ in series. The voltage drop across C₁ the 2.0-μF capacitor will be approximately 2.76 volts.

$-1.5\;\mu\text{F}-[\begin{array}{c}-{\bf 2.0\;\mu\text{F}}-\\-3.0\;\mu\text{F}-\end{array}]-$ .

Explanation:

Consider four possible cases.

<h3>Case A: 12.0 V.</h3>

$-\begin{array}{c}-{\bf 2.0\;\mu\text{F}-}\\-1.5\;\mu\text{F}- \\-3.0\;\mu\text{F}-\end{array}-$

In case all three capacitors are connected in parallel, the $2.0\;\mu\text{F}$ capacitor will be connected directed to the battery. The voltage drop will be at its maximum: 12 volts.

<h3>Case B: 5.54 V.</h3>

$-3.0\;\mu\text{F}-[\begin{array}{c}-{\bf 2.0\;\mu\text{F}}-\\-1.5\;\mu\text{F}-\end{array}]-$

In case the $2.0\;\mu\text{F}$ capacitor is connected in parallel with the $1.5\;\mu\text{F}$ capacitor, and the two capacitors in parallel is connected to the $3.0\;\mu\text{F}$ capacitor in series.

The effective capacitance of two capacitors in parallel is the sum of their capacitance: 2.0 + 1.5 = 3.5 μF.

The reciprocal of the effective capacitance of two capacitors in series is the sum of the reciprocals of the capacitances. In other words, for the three capacitors combined,

$\displaystyle C(\text{Effective}) = \frac{1}{\dfrac{1}{C_3}+ \dfrac{1}{C_1+C_2}} = \frac{1}{\dfrac{1}{3.0}+\dfrac{1}{2.0+1.5}} = 1.62\;\mu\text{F}$ .

What will be the voltage across the 2.0 μF capacitor?

The charge stored in two capacitors in series is the same as the charge in each capacitor.

$Q = C(\text{Effective}) \cdot V = 1.62\;\mu\text{F}\times 12\;\text{V} = 19.4\;\mu\text{C}$ .

Voltage is the same across two capacitors in parallel.As a result,

$\displaystyle V_1 = V_2 = \frac{Q}{C_1+C_2} = \frac{19.4\;\mu\text{C}}{3.5\;\mu\text{F}} = 5.54\;\text{V}$ .

<h3>Case C: 2.76 V.</h3>

$-1.5\;\mu\text{F}-[\begin{array}{c}-{\bf 2.0\;\mu\text{F}}-\\-3.0\;\mu\text{F}-\end{array}]-$ .

Similarly,

the effective capacitance of the two capacitors in parallel is 5.0 μF;
the effective capacitance of the three capacitors, combined: $\displaystyle C(\text{Effective}) = \frac{1}{\dfrac{1}{C_2}+ \dfrac{1}{C_1+C_3}} = \frac{1}{\dfrac{1}{1.5}+\dfrac{1}{2.0+3.0}} = 1.15\;\mu\text{F}$ .

Charge stored:

$Q = C(\text{Effective}) \cdot V = 1.15\;\mu\text{F}\times 12\;\text{V} = 13.8\;\mu\text{C}$ .

Voltage:

$\displaystyle V_1 = V_3 = \frac{Q}{C_1+C_3} = \frac{13.8\;\mu\text{C}}{5.0\;\mu\text{F}} = 2.76\;\text{V}$ .

<h3 /><h3>Case D: 4.00 V</h3>

$-2.0\;\mu\text{F}-1.5\;\mu\text{F}-3.0\;\mu\text{F}-$ .

Connect all three capacitors in series.

$\displaystyle C(\text{Effective}) = \frac{1}{\dfrac{1}{C_1} + \dfrac{1}{C_2}+\dfrac{1}{C_3}} =\frac{1}{\dfrac{1}{2.0} + \dfrac{1}{1.5}+\dfrac{1}{3.0}} =0.667\;\mu\text{F}$ .

For each of the three capacitors:

$Q = C(\text{Effective})\cdot V = 0.667\;\mu\text{F} \times 12\;\text{V} = 8.00\;\mu\text{C}$ .

For the $2.0\;\mu\text{F}$ capacitor:

$\displaystyle V_1=\frac{Q}{C_1} = \frac{8.00\;\mu\text{C}}{2.0\;\mu\text{F}} = 4.0\;\text{V}$ .
