The work done in the spring is calculated to be 2.8 J

Hooke's law states that, the extension of a given material is directly proportional to the applied force as long as the elastic limit is not exceeded . First, we must bear in mind that the material must remain within the elastic limit for us to apply the Hooke's law in solving the problem.

Now;

From Hooke's law;

F = Ke

F = force applied

K = force constant

e = extension

F = W = mg =  2.50 - kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 24.5 N

K = 24.5 N/ 2.76 * 10^-2

K = 888 N/m

e = F/K

F = W =  1.25 - kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 12.25 N

e = 12.25 N/ 888 N/m = 0.014 m or 1.4 cm

Work done by an external agent = 1/2 Kx^2

= 0.5 * 888 * (8 * 10^-2)^2

= 2.8 J

Answer:

Explanation:

——»To measure centimeters, we can use ruler.

The vertical weight carried by the builder at the rear is 240.89N. The weight he must now carry is 352.26N

We have w = 1.8

Then we have L as 3.30

θ = 24.0

FC = 147

We have to find FB

147 (3.3 + 1.8 tan24)/(3.3 - 1.8 tan24)

= 240.896

The vertical weight carried by the builder is 240.896

2. 240.896 + 147

= 387.896

387.896/[1 + (1.8 + 3.3 tan24) /(1.8 - 3.3 tan24)]

= 387.896/10.885

= 35.64

Answer:

When the same amount of heat is added to cold sand and cold water, the temperature change of sand will be higher because of its lower specific heat capacity.

What is specific heat capacity?

Specific heat capacity is the quantity

of heat required to raise a unit mass of

a substance by 1 kelvin.

Specific heat capacity of water and sand

{refer to the above attachment}

Δθ = Q/mc

Thus, for an equal mass of water and sand, when the same amount of heat is added to cold sand and cold water, the temperature change of sand will be higher because of its lower specific heat capacity.

The behavior of water when subjected to temperature change is that the volume of water will increase if cooled from 3° to 2°C.

The chemical compound water, which can exist in the gaseous, liquid, and solid phases, is made up of the elements hydrogen and oxygen in the ratio 2: 1 i.e. 2 atoms of hydrogen and 1 atom of oxygen.

In general

Volume of water depends on the temperature and is directly proportional to it.

Thus, as the temperature rises, the molecules of water gain energy and move more quickly, which causes the molecules to spread apart and increase the volume of the liquid.

When water cools, it initially contracts (decreases in volume) until a temperature of about four degrees Celsius (4°C).

But at temperatures below 4.0° C, water undergoes an abnormal expansion that causes its volume to start to rise.

This ability is related to the formation of hexagonal structures, which take up a lot of room and increase the volume of the water, as a result of strong hydrogen bonding between water molecules at a lower temperature.

Hence, the volume of water will increase if cooled from 3° to 2°C

b) The highest point above board is 2.62 m

c) The velocity when her feet hit the water is  7.2 m/s

From the data presented;

v = u + at

But v = 0 m/s at the maximum height thus;

0 = 4 - (9.8 * t)

4 = 9.8 * t

t = 4/9.8

t = 0.41 s

b) from;

h = ut - 1/2gt^2

h = (4 * 0.41) - (0.5 * 9.8 * (0.41)^2)

h = 1.64 - 0.82

h = 0.82 m

The total height above board = 0.82 m + 1.8 m = 2.62 m

c) The total time in air is obtained from;

Answer:

  0.1426 N

Explanation:

A chain of uniform mass density is suspended between two poles 30 cm apart. The geometry of the problem is such that the left support only supplies a horizontal force on the chain. The right support must both balance that horizontal force and supply a vertical force that balances the weight of the chain.

For some tension T in the chain at the right support, the vertical force will be ...

  vertical force = T·sin(α) = W . . . . . matches the weight (W) of the chain

for some angle α between the horizontal and the chain at the right pole.

The corresponding horizontal force is ...

  horizontal force = T·cos(α)

This force balances the horizontal force at the left support pole. In terms of W, this force is ...

  horizontal force = W/sin(α)·cos(α) = W/tan(α)

The curve assumed by a chain of uniform mass density can be demonstrated to be a catenary. For supports 30 cm apart, its equation can be described by ...

  y = 30·cosh(x/30)

The diagram shows that y=4 for x=0, so we need to subtract 26 cm from this:

  y = 30·cosh(x/30) -26

The slope of the curve at any point is the derivative of this function:

  y' = 30(1/30)(sinh(x/30)) = sinh(x/30)

At the right support, the slope of the curve is ...

  y' = sinh(30/30) = sinh(1) ≈ 1.1752012

This is the tangent of the angle that the curve makes with the horizontal at the right support.

  tan(α) = 1.1752012

Note, you can see from the grid squares on the graph that the slope at the right support is slightly more than 1.

The weight of the chain is the product of its mass and the acceleration due to gravity:

  W = ma = (0.0171 kg)(9.8 m/s²) = 0.16758 N

Then the force on the left-side pole is ...

  horizontal force = W/tan(α) = (0.16758 N)/1.1752012

  horizontal force ≈ 0.1426 N

Additional comment

The attached graph is a plot of the catenary curve we have assumed for the gold chain. We have attempted to match the vertical height on the left side, but we note that there seems to be a small discrepancy at the right side. The graph in the problem statement seems to show the right attach point at about y=21, not 20.3.

Let's use Biot-Savart's law to derive an expression for the magnetic field produced by ONE loop.

[tex]dB = \frac{\mu_0}{4\pi} \frac{id\vec{l} \times \hat{r}}{r^2}[/tex]

dB = Differential Magnetic field element

μ₀ = Permeability of free space (4π × 10⁻⁷ Tm/A)

R = radius of loop (2.15 cm = 0.0215 m)

i = Current in loop (0.460 A)

For a circular coil, the radius vector and the differential length vector are ALWAYS perpendicular. So, for their cross-product, since sin(90) = 1, we can disregard it.

[tex]dB = \frac{\mu_0}{4\pi} \frac{id\vec{l}}{r^2}[/tex]

Now, let's write the integral, replacing 'dl' with 'ds' for an arc length:
[tex]B = \int \frac{\mu_0}{4\pi} \frac{ids}{R^2}[/tex]

Taking out constants from the integral:
[tex]B =\frac{\mu_0 i}{4\pi R^2} \int ds[/tex]

Since we are integrating around an entire circle, we are integrating from 0 to 2π.

[tex]B =\frac{\mu_0 i}{4\pi R^2} \int\limits^{2\pi R}_0 \, ds[/tex]

Evaluate:
[tex]B =\frac{\mu_0 i}{4\pi R^2} (2\pi R- 0) = \frac{\mu_0 i}{2R}[/tex]

Plugging in our givens to solve for the magnetic field strength of one loop:

[tex]B = \frac{(4\pi *10^{-7}) (0.460)}{2(0.0215)} = 1.3443 \mu T[/tex]

Multiply by the number of loops to find the total magnetic field:
[tex]B_T = N B = 0.00631 = \boxed{6.318 mT}[/tex]

b)

Now, we have an additional component of the magnetic field. Let's use Biot-Savart's Law again:
[tex]dB = \frac{\mu_0}{4\pi} \frac{id\vec{l} \times \hat{r}}{r^2}[/tex]

In this case, we cannot disregard the cross-product. Using the angle between the differential length and radius vector 'θ' (in the diagram), we can represent the cross-product as cosθ. However, this would make integrating difficult. Using a right triangle, we can use the angle formed at the top 'φ', and represent this as sinφ.  

[tex]dB = \frac{\mu_0}{4\pi} \frac{id\vec{l} sin\theta}{r^2}[/tex]

Using the diagram, if 'z' is the point's height from the center:

[tex]r = \sqrt{z^2 + R^2 }\\\\sin\phi = \frac{R}{\sqrt{z^2 + R^2}}[/tex]

Substituting this into our expression:
[tex]dB = \frac{\mu_0}{4\pi} \frac{id\vec{l}}{(\sqrt{z^2 + R^2})^2} }(\frac{R}{\sqrt{z^2 + R^2}})\\\\dB = \frac{\mu_0}{4\pi} \frac{iRd\vec{l}}{(z^2 + R^2)^\frac{3}{2}} }[/tex]

Now, the only thing that isn't constant is the differential length (replace with ds). We will integrate along the entire circle again:
[tex]B = \frac{\mu_0 iR}{4\pi (z^2 + R^2)^\frac{3}{2}}} \int\limits^{2\pi R}_0, ds[/tex]

Evaluate:
[tex]B = \frac{\mu_0 iR}{4\pi (z^2 + R^2)^\frac{3}{2}}} (2\pi R)\\\\B = \frac{\mu_0 iR^2}{2 (z^2 + R^2)^\frac{3}{2}}}[/tex]

Multiplying by the number of loops:
[tex]B_T= \frac{\mu_0 N iR^2}{2 (z^2 + R^2)^\frac{3}{2}}}[/tex]

Plug in the given values:
[tex]B_T= \frac{(4\pi *10^{-7}) (470) (0.460)(0.0215)^2}{2 ((0.095)^2 + (0.0215)^2)^\frac{3}{2}}} \\\\ = 0.00006795 = \boxed{67.952 \mu T}[/tex]

[tex]\begin{aligned}q &=n e \\1.63 \times 10^{-14} \mathrm{C} &=n \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \mathrm{C} \\n &=1.01 \times 10^{5}\end{aligned}[/tex]

Therefore, the number of excess electrons is 1.01x10^5

The maximum speed with which a 1200- kg car can make a turn is 22.02 m/s.

v(max) = √μrg

where;

v(max) = √(0.55 x 90 x 9.8)

v(max) = 22.02 m/s

Thus, the maximum speed with which a 1200- kg car can make a turn is 22.02 m/s.

The speed of the electron is 1.3 * 10^6 m/s

We know that when the electron gun is shot, the potential energy of the electron is converted into kinetic energy. The mass of the electron is given as 9.11 * 10^-31 Kg.

The energy of the electron is;

eV = 1e * 5V = ev or 8 * 10^-19 J

Given that E = 1/2mv^2

8 * 10^-19  = 0.5 *  9.11 * 10^-31 * v^2

v = √ 8 * 10^-19/0.5 *  9.11 * 10^-31

v = √1.75 * 10^12

v = 1.3 * 10^6 m/s

Answer:

You would weigh the same.

Explanation:

At the moment, since Earth is not a perfect sphere, the Earth "bulges out" at the equator, so you're further from the centre of the Earth. Since gravity acts through a body's center of mass, the further you are from the centre the weaker the gravitational acceleration you will feel, because gravity weakens over distance.

So, you're actually lighter at the equator than you'd be at the poles.

However, if the Earth was a perfect sphere, this "bulge" at the equator would not happen, and so you would weigh the same at the poles and at the equator.

Hope this makes sense.
