calculate the workdone to stretch an elastic string by 40cm if a force of 10N produces an extension of 4cm in it

1 answer:

5 0

The force of F=10 N produces an extension of
$x=4 cm=0.04 m$
on the string, so the spring constant is equal to
$k= \frac{F}{x}= \frac{10 N}{0.04 m}=250 N/m$

Then the string is stretched by $\Delta x=40 cm=0.40 m$ . The work done to stretch the string by this distance is equal to the variation of elastic potential energy of the string with respect to its equilibrium position:
$W= \Delta U= \frac{1}{2}k(\Delta x)^2 = \frac{1}{2}(250 N/m)(0.40 m)^2=20 J$

It takes a slug 20 minutes to travel from the grass to the trash can , a trip of 15 meters. How far could the slug travel in 60

inn [45]

Answer:

45 meters

Explanation:

20 min = 15 meters

So if 20 x 3 = 60

you have to do 3 x 15 !

- which equals to 45 <3

At time t, gives the position of a 3.0 kg particle relative to the origin of an xy coordinate system ( ModifyingAbove r With rig

Elena-2011 [213]

Complete Question

The complete Question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

The torque acting on the particle is $\tau = 48t \r k$

The magnitude of the angular momentum increases relative to the origin

Explanation:

From the equation we are told that

The position of the particle is $\= r = 4.0 t^2 \r i - (2.0 t - 6.0 t^2 ) \r j$

The mass of the particle is $m = 3.0 kg$

The time is t

The torque acting on the particle is mathematically represented as

$\tau = \frac{ d \r l }{dt}$

where $\r l$ is change in angular momentum which is mathematically represented as

$\r l = m (\r r \ \ X \ \ \r v)$

Where X mean cross- product

$\r v$ is the velocity which is mathematically represented as

$\r v = \frac{d \r r }{dt}$

Substituting for $\r r$

$\r v = \frac{d }{dt} [ 4 t^2 \r i - (2t + 6t^2 ) \r j]$

$\r v = 8t \r i - (2 + 12 t) \r j$

Now the cross product of $\r r \ and \ \r v$ is mathematically evaluated as

$\r r \ \ X \ \ \r v = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}{\r i}&{\r j}&{\r k}\\{4t^2}&{-2t -6t^2}&0\\{8t}&{-2 -12t}&0\end{array}\right]$

$= 0 \r i + 0 \r j + (- 8t^2 -48t^3 + 16t^2 + 48t^3 ) \r k$

$\r r \ \ X \ \ \r v = 8t^2 \r k$

So the angular momentum becomes

$\r l = m (8t^2 \r k)$

Substituting for m

$\r l = 3 * (8t^2 \r k)$

$\r l =24t^2 \r k$

Substituting into equation for torque

$\tau = \frac{d}{dt} [24t^2 \r k]$

$\tau = 48t \r k$

The magnitude of the angular momentum can be evaluated mathematically as

$|\r l| = \sqrt{(24 t^2) ^2}$

$|\r l| = 24 t^2$

From the is equation we see that the magnitude of the angular momentum is varies directly with square of the time so it would relative to the origin because at the origin t= 0s and we move out from origin t increases hence angular momentum increases also

What is the threshold frequency for sodium metal if a photon with frequency 6.66 × 1014 s−1 ejects a photon with 7.74 × 10−20 J

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

5.5 × 10^14 Hz or s^-1

no orange light has less frequency so no photoelectric effect

Explanation:

hf = hf0 + K.E

HERE h is Planck 's constant having value 6.63 × 10 ^-34 J s

f is frequency of incident photon and f0 is threshold frequency

hf0 = hf- k.E

6.63 × 10 ^-34 × f0 = 6.63 × 10 ^-34× 6.66 × 10^14 - 7.74× 10^-20

6.63 × 10 ^-34 × f0 = 3.64158×10^-19

f0 = 3.64158×10^-19/ 6.63 × 10 ^-34

f0 = 5.4925 × 10^14

f0 =5.5 × 10^14 Hz or s^-1

frequency of orange light is 4.82 × 10^14 Hz which is less than threshold frequency hence photo electric effect will not be observed for orange light

A projectile of mass m is fired horizontally with an initial speed of v0 from a height of h above a flat, desert surface. Negle

Grace [21]

Complete question is;

A projectile of mass m is fired horizontally with an initial speed of v0 from a height of h above a flat, desert surface. Neglecting air friction, at the instant before the projectile hits the ground, find the following in terms of m, v0, h and g:

(a) the work done by the force of gravity on the projectile,

(b) the change in kinetic energy of the projectile since it was fired, and

(d) Are any of the answers changed if the initial angle is changed?

Answer:

A) W = mgh

B) ΔKE = mgh

C) K2 = mgh + ½mv_o²

D) No they wouldn't change

Explanation:

We are expressing in terms of m, v0, h, and g. They are;

m is mass

v0 is initial velocity

h is height of projectile fired

g is acceleration due to gravity

A) Now, the formula for workdone by force of gravity on projectile is;

W = F × h

Now, Force(F) can be expressed as mg since it is force of gravity.

Thus; W = mgh

Now, there is no mention of any angles of being fired because we are just told it was fired horizontally.

Therefore, even if the angle is changed, workdone will not change because the equation doesn't depend on the angle.

B) Change in kinetic energy is simply;

ΔKE = K2 - K1

Where K2 is final kinetic energy and K1 is initial kinetic energy.

However, from conservation of energy, we now that change in kinetic energy = change in potential energy.

Thus;

ΔKE = ΔPE

ΔPE = U2 - U1

U2 is final potential energy = mgh

U1 is initial potential energy = mg(0) = 0. 0 was used as h because at initial point no height had been covered.

Thus;

ΔKE = ΔPE = mgh

Again like a above, the change in kinetic energy will not change because the equation doesn't depend on the angle.

C) As seen in B above,

ΔKE = ΔPE

Thus;

½mv² - ½mv_o² = mgh

Where final kinetic energy, K2 = ½mv²

And initial kinetic energy = ½mv_o²

Thus;

K2 = mgh + ½mv_o²

Similar to a and B above, this will not change even if initial angle is changed

D) All of the answers wouldn't change because their equations don't depend on the angle.

U-238 has protons and146 neutrons. A particular isotope of plutonium has 94 protons, neutrons, and a mass number of 241. Thorium

enyata [817]

$^{238}U$

so mass number = 238

mass number = protons + neutrons

given that

neutrons = 146

238 = protons + 146

protons = 92

$^{241}Pu$

so mass number = 241

mass number = protons + neutrons

given that

Protons = 94

241 = 94 + neutrons

neutrons = 147

$^ATh$

A = mass number

Protons = 90

Neutrons = 137

A = protons + Neutrons

A = 90 + 137 = 227
