29. A boy lifts a book with the weight of 30.0 N from the floor to the top of a table, a vertical distance of 2.0. meters. Compute the increase in the potential energy of the weight.
Remember to include your data, equation, and work when solving this problem.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

60J

Explanation:

Since the book's weight is 30N and weight = mass * gravity (around 10m/s²):

30 = X * 10 ===>   X = 3.

Using the potential energy formula we have Gravity * Height * Mass:

10 * 2 * 3 = 60J

The equation provided (from the textbook) first defines the elastic potential energy of a spring as ΔUsp = −(WB + WW), where WB is work the spring does on an attached block and WW is work the spring does on the wall to which it is attached. But WW is ignored in the next step. Why?

Answers

Answer:

The given potential energy of the spring is expressed as follows;

ΔUsp = -(WB + WW)

Where;

WB = Th work done by the spring on the block to which it is attached

WW = The work done by the spring on the wall

We recall that work done, W = Force applied × Distance moved in the direction of the force

The work done by the spring on the block, WB = The spring force × The distance the block moves

The work done by the spring on the wall, WW = The spring force × The distance the wall moves

However, given that the wall does not move, we have;

The distance the wall moves = 0

∴ The work done by the spring on the wall, WW = The spring force × 0 = 0 J

Therefore, WW = 0 J, and the spring does not do work on the wall, and WW can be ignored in the next subsequent) steps

You need to pick up a book off the floor and place it on a tabletop. You expend 1.56J of energy to lift the book with a force of 300N. What is the distance?

Answers

Work done = Froce × distance

Now, keeping this formula in mimd, we can find the distance as follows;

We have a toy gun with a spring constant of 50 N/m. The spring is compressed by 0.2 m. If you neglect friction and the mass of the spring, at what speed will a 2 g projectile be ejected from the gun

Answers

Answer:

[tex]31.6\:\mathrm{m/s}[/tex]

Explanation:

The elastic potential energy of a spring is given by [tex]Us=\frac{1}{2}kx^2[/tex], where [tex]k[/tex] is the spring constant of the spring and [tex]x[/tex] is displacement from point of equilibrium.

When released, this potential energy will be converted into kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is given by [tex]KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2[/tex], where [tex]m[/tex] is the mass of the object and [tex]v[/tex] is the object's velocity.

Thus, we have:

[tex]Us=KE,\\\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{2}mv^2[/tex]

Substituting given values, we get:

[tex]\frac{1}{2}\cdot 50\cdot 0.2^2=\frac{1}{2}\cdot 0.002\cdot v^2,\\v^2=\frac{50\cdot 0.2^2}{0.002},\\v^2=1000,\\v\approx \boxed{31.6\:\mathrm{m/s}}[/tex]

A 56.6-kg crate rests on a level floor at a shipping dock. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction are 0.517 and 0.260, respectively. What horizontal pushing force is required to (a) just start the crate moving and (b) slide the crate across the dock at a constant speed

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Magnitude of frictional force = μ mg

μ is either static or kinetic friction.

To start the crate moving , static friction is calculated .

a ) To start crate moving , force required = μ mg where μ is coefficient of static friction .

force required =.517 x 56.6  x 9.8 = 286.76  N .

b ) to  slide the crate across the dock at a constant speed , force required

= μ mg where μ is coefficient of kinetic  friction , where μ is kinetic friction

= .26 x 56.6  x 9.8 = 144.21 N .

A truck covers 40 km with an average speed of 80km/h. Then it travels another 40 km with an average speed of 40 km/h. The average speed of the truck for the total distanced covered is:

Answers

Answer:

Average speed = 53.33 km/h

Explanation:

Below is the calculation for the average speed:

Given the average speed of for first 40 km = 80km/h

Time taken to cover the first 40 km = Total Distance / average speed

Time taken to cover the first 40 km = 40 / 80 = 0.5 hours

Given the average speed of for next 40 km = 40km/h

Time taken to cover the next 40 km = Total Distance / average speed

Time taken to cover the next 40 km = 40 / 40 = 1 hours

Now the average speed of the tuck to cover total distance:

Average speed = Total distance / Total time

Average speed = (40 + 40) / (0.5 + 1)

Average speed = 53.33 km/h

se lanza un cuerpo desde el origen con velocidad horizontal de 40 m/s, y con un ángulo de 60º. calcular la máxima altura y el alcance horizontal.

Answers

Answer:

1. [tex]h = 244.8 m[/tex]    

2. [tex]x = 564.8 m[/tex]  

Explanation:

1. La altura máxima se puede calcular usando la siguiente ecuación:

[tex] v_{f}^{2} = v_{0}^{2} - 2gh [/tex]     (1)                        

Where:

[tex]v_{f_{y}}[/tex]: es la velocidad final = 0 (en la altura máxima)  

[tex]v_{0_{y}}[/tex]: es la velocidad inicial horizontal en "y"

g: es la gravedad = 9.81 m/s²          

h: es la altura máxima =?

La velocidad incial en "y" se puede calcular de la siguiente manera:

[tex] tan(\theta) = \frac{v_{0_{y}}}{v_{0_{x}}} [/tex]

[tex] v_{0_{y}} = tan(60)*40 m/s = 69.3 m/s [/tex]                    

Resolviendo la ecuación (1) para "h" tenemos:

[tex]h = \frac{v_{0_{y}}^{2}}{2g} = \frac{(69.3 m/s)^{2}}{2*9.81 m/s^{2}} = 244.8 m[/tex]          

2. Para calcular el alcance horizontal podemos usar la ecuación:

[tex]x = v_{x}*t[/tex]

Primero debemos encontrar el tiempo cuando la altura es máxima ([tex]v_{f_{y}}[/tex] = 0).

[tex] v_{f_{y}} = v_{0_{y}} - gt [/tex]    

[tex] t = \frac{v_{0_{y}}}{g} = \frac{69.3 m/s}{9.81 m/s^{2}} = 7.06 s [/tex]      

Ahora, como el tiempo de subida es el mismo que el tiempo de bajada, el tiempo máximo es:

[tex] t_{m} = 2*7.06 s = 14.12 s [/tex]          

Finalmente, el alcance horizontal es:

[tex]x = 40 m/s*14.12 s = 564.8 m[/tex]

Fish are hung on a spring scale to determine their mass (most fishermen feel no obligation to truthfully report the mass). What is the force constant of the spring in such a scale if it the spring stretches 8.50 cm for a 8.1 kg load

Answers

Answer:

k = 933.88 N/m

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of a load, m = 8.1 kg

The displacement in the spring, x = 8.5 cm

We need to find the force constant of the spring. We know that Hooke's law is given by :

F = -kx

Also,

F = mg (Force due to its weight)

So,

[tex]k=\dfrac{mg}{x}\\\\k=\dfrac{8.1\times 9.8}{0.085}\\\\k=933.88\ N/m[/tex]

So, the force constant of the spring is equal to 933.88 N/m.

An aluminum-alloy rod has a length of 10.0 cm at 20°C and a length of 10.015 cm at the boiling point of water (1000C). (a) What is the length of the rod at the freezing point of water (0 0C)? (b) What is the temperature if the length of the rod is 10.009 cm? /4mks

Answers

Answer:

a.  9.99625 cm b. 68 °C

Explanation:

(a) What is the length of the rod at the freezing point of water (0 0C)?

Before we find the length of the rod, we need to find the coefficient of linear expansion, α = (L - L₀)/[L₀(T - T₀)] where L₀ = length of rod at temperature T₀ = 10.0 cm, T₀ = 20 °C, L = length of rod at temperature T = 10.015 cm and T = 100 °C

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

α = (L - L₀)/[L₀(T - T₀)]

α = (10.015 cm - 10.0 cm)/[10.0 cm(100 °C - 20 °C)]

α = 0.015 cm/[10.0 cm × 80 °C]

α = 0.015 cm/[800.0 cm °C]

α = 0.00001875 /°C

We now find the length L₁ at T₁ = 0 °C from

L₁ = L₀(1 + α(T₁ - T₀))

So, substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

L₁ = L₀(1 + α(T₁ - T₀))

L₁ = 10.0 cm[1 +  0.00001875 /°C(0° C - 20 °C)]

L₁ = 10.0 cm[1 +  0.00001875 /°C × -20° C]

L₁ = 10.0 cm[1 - 0.000375]

L₁ = 10.0 cm[0.999625]

L₁ = 9.99625 cm

(b) What is the temperature if the length of the rod is 10.009 cm?

With length L₃ = 10.009 cm at temperature T₃, using

L₃ = L₀(1 + α(T₃ - T₀))

making T₃ subject of the formula, we have

L₃/L₀ = 1 + α(T₃ - T₀)

L₃/L₀ - 1 = α(T₃ - T₀)

T₃ - T₀ = (L₃/L₀ - 1)/α

T₃ = T₀ + (L₃/L₀ - 1)/α

substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

T₃ = 20 °C + (10.009 cm/10.0 cm - 1)/0.00001875 /°C

T₃ = 20 °C + (1.0009 - 1)/0.00001875 /°C

T₃ = 20 °C + 0.0009/0.00001875 /°C

T₃ = 20 °C + 48 °C

T₃ = 68 °C

b) What is the weather on Neptune?

c) What is the core of Saturn made of?

d) What other solar systems have planets?

Solution

The Hubble space telescope was designed and integrated into the extraterrestrial system in order to capture information about the surrounding universe. If the  Keck Observatory has a better observation capacity than the Hubble space telescope then the scientist would be interested to know the surrounding planets in the solar system.

Entering shallow water forces wave energy upward, making the wave crest unstable and causing it to break. A wave encountering shallow water begins to slow at its bottom, while the top of the wave continues at its previous speed. This causes the wave to break. As waves enter shallow water, the distance between wave crests (wave length) shortens, increasing the tendency to break.

Answer:

The question above would be written again but this time with options attached to it for comprehension sake:

Which of the following best describes the formation of surf?

A.  Waves energy, rebounding from its impact with shore, crashes into oncoming waves, causing them to break.

B. Entering shallow water forces wave energy upward, making the wave crest unstable and causing it to break.

C. A wave encountering shallow water begins to slow at its bottom, while the top of the wave continues at its previous speed. This causes the wave to break.

D. As waves enter shallow water, the distance between wave crests (wavelength) shortens, increasing the tendency to break.

The correct answer is option C (A wave encountering shallow water begins to slow at its bottom, while the top of the wave continues at its previous speed. This causes the wave to break).

Explanation:

Surf could mean crashing waves or breaking waves. Generally, the wave speed is constant in the same medium, however, the wave speed decreases as it enters shallow water which is largely due to the water depth which is relatively small, especially when it encounters the bottom of the shallow water. While the top of the wave overtakes the bottom of the wave, making sure the top of the wave continues at its previous speed.

If the force goes up to, say, 90, then

90 = 30a and

a = 3...if the force goes up, the acceleration also goes up.

If the mass goes up to say, 60, and the force stays the same, then

60 = 60a and

a = 1...if the mass goes up, the acceleration goes down.
