La energía que almacena el resorte cuando se comprime y estira 12 cm es 9,4 J.
La energía potencial elástica del resorte se puede calcular con la siguiente ecuación:
[tex] E_{p} = \frac{1}{2}kx^{2} [/tex]
En donde:
k: es la constante del resorte = 1300 N/m
x: es la distancia de compresión o de elongación = 12 cm = 0,12 m
Dado que la energía es proporcional al cuadrado de la distancia recorrida por el resorte (x), la energía almacenada por el resorte durante la compresión será la misma que la energía almacenada por la elongación.
Por lo tanto, la energía almacenada es:
[tex]E_{p} = \frac{1}{2}kx^{2} = \frac{1}{2}1300 N/m*(0,12 m)^{2} = 9,4 J[/tex]
Entonces, la energía del resorte cuando se comprime y cuando se estira es la misma, a saber 9,4 J.

Answer:
Al comprimirse o estirarse 12 centímetros desde su posición sin deformar, el resorte almacena 9,360 joules.
Explanation:
La Energía Potencial Elástica almacenada por el resorte ([tex]U_{e}[/tex]), en joules, se calcula a partir de la Ley de Hooke, la definición de Trabajo y el Teorema del Trabajo y la Energía, cuya expresión se presenta abajo:
[tex]U_{e} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot k\cdot (x_{f}^{2}-x_{o}^{2})[/tex] (1)
Donde:
[tex]k[/tex] - Constante elástica del resorte, en newtons por metro.
[tex]x_{o}[/tex] - Posición inicial del resorte, en metros.
[tex]x_{f}[/tex] - Posición final del resorte, en metros.
Nótese que el resorte sin deformar tiene una posición de cero, la tensión tiene un valor positivo y la compresión, negativo.
Asumiendo que en ambos casos el resorte se encuentra inicialmente sin deformar, se reduce (1) a una forma de función par, es decir, una función que cumple con la propiedad de que [tex]f(x) = f(-x)[/tex], se encuentra que al comprimirse o estirarse en la misma medida almacena la misma cantidad de energía.
La cantidad de energía a almacenar es:
[tex]U_{e} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot \left(1300\,\frac{N}{m} \right)\cdot (0,12\,m)^{2}[/tex]
[tex]U_{e} = 9,360\,J[/tex]
Al comprimirse o estirarse 12 centímetros desde su posición sin deformar, el resorte almacena 9,360 joules.
An object moves in a direction parallel to its length with a velocity that approaches the velocity of light. The length of this object, as measured by a stationary observer:________
a. approaches infinity.
b. approaches zero.
c. increases slightly.
d. does not change.
Answer:
b. approaches zero.
Explanation:
The phenomenon is known as length contraction.
Length contraction is a result of Einstein's special theory of relativity. This theory states that an observer in an inertial frame of reference will observe a decrease in the length of any moving object placed at another inertial frame of reference.
let the length of the train = L
Let the length observed when the train is in motion = L₀
Apply Einstein's special theory of relativity;
[tex]L_0 = L \times \sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2} } \\\\where;\\\\v \ is \ the \ velocity \ of \ the \ train\\\\c \ is \ the \ speed \ of \ light\\\\[/tex]
from the equation above, when v = 0, the length observed is equal to the initial length of the train. (L₀ = L)
As the velocity of the train (v) approaches the speed of light (c), the length of the train observed (L₀) becomes smaller than the initial length of the train (L). (L₀ < L)
Eventually, when v equals c, we will have a square root of zero (0), and the length observed will become zero. (L₀ = 0)
Thus, the length of this object, as measured by a stationary observer approaches zero
A baseball pitcher brings his arm forward during a pitch, rotating the forearm about the elbow. If the velocity of the ball in the pitcher's hand is 34.0 m/s and the ball is 0.310 m from the elbow joint, what is the angular velocity (in rad/s) of the forearm
Answer:
[tex]\omega=109.67\ rad/s[/tex]
Explanation:
Given that,
The speed of the ball, u = 34 m/s
The ball is 0.310 m from the elbow joint.
We need to find the angular velocity (in rad/s) of the forearm.
We know that,
[tex]v=r\omega\\\\\omega=\dfrac{v}{r}\\\\\omega=\dfrac{34}{0.31}\\\\\omega=109.67\ rad/s[/tex]
So, the required angular velocity of the forearm is 109.67 rad/s.

A 3.00-kg ball swings rapidly in a complete vertical circle of radius 2.00 m by a light string that is fixed at one end. The ball moves so fast that the string is always taut and perpendicular to the velocity of the ball. As the ball swings from its lowest point to its highest point Group of answer choices the work done on it by gravity is -118 J and the work done on it by the tension in the string is zero. the work done on it by gravity is -118 J and the work done on it by the tension in the string is 118 J. the work done on it by gravity and the work done on it by the tension in the string are both equal to -118 J. the work done on it by gravity is 118 J and the work done on it by the tension in the string is -118 J. the work done on it by gravity and the work done on it by the tension in the string are both equal to zero.
Answer:
The ball moves from lowest to highest point:
W = M g h = 3 * 9.8 * 4 = 118 J
This is work done "against" gravity so work done by gravity is -118 J
The tension of the string does no work because the tension does not
move thru any distance W = T * x = 0 because the length of the string is fixed.

In a physics lab, light with a wavelength of 560 nm travels in air from a laser to a photocell in a time of 17.2 ns . When a slab of glass with a thickness of 0.810 m is placed in the light beam, with the beam incident along the normal to the parallel faces of the slab, it takes the light a time of 20.8 ns to travel from the laser to the photocell.
Required:
What is the wavelength of the light in the glass?
Answer:
Distance traveled = 3 * 10E8 * 17.2 * 10E-9 = 5.16 m
.81 / 3 * 10E8 = 2.7 * 10E-9 normal time thru glass
(20.8 - 17.2) * E10-9 = 3.6 * 10E-9 additional time due to glass
c tg = c n ta where tg and ta are the times spent in glass and air
(Note you can also write Va = n Vg or D / ta = n D / tg)
n = tg / ta = 3.6 / 2.7 = 1.33 the index of refraction of the glass
Wavelength (air) = Wavelength (glass) * n
Wavelenght = 560 nm / 1.33 = 421 nm

In a large chemical factory, a feed pipe carries a liquid at a speed of 5.5 m/s. A pump pushes the liquid along at a gauge pressure of 140,000 Pa. The liquid travels upward 6.0 m and enters a tank at a gauge pressure of 2,000 Pa. The diameter of the pipe remains constant. At what speed does the liquid enter the tank
Answer:
v₂ = 15.24 m / s
Explanation:
This is an exercise in fluid mechanics
Let's write Bernoulli's equation, where the subscript 1 is for the factory pipe and the subscript 2 is for the tank.
P₁ + ½ ρ v₁² + ρ g y₁ = P₂ + ½ ρ v₂² + ρ g y₂
They indicate the pressure in the factory P₁ = 140000 Pa, the velocity
v₁ = 5.5 m / s and the initial height is zero y₁ = 0
the tank is at a pressure of P2 = 2000 Pa and a height of y₂ = 6.0 m
P₁ -P₂ + ρ g (y₁ -y₂) + ½ ρ v₁² = ½ ρ v₂²
let's calculate
140,000 - 2000 + ρ 9.8 (0- 6) + ½ ρ 5.5² = ½ ρ v₂²
138000 - ρ 58.8 + ρ 15.125 = ½ ρ v2²
v₂² = 2 (138000 /ρ - 58.8 + 15.125)
v₂ = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{276000}{\rho } - 43.675 }[/tex]
In the exercise they do not indicate what type of liquid is being used, suppose it is water with
ρ = 1000 kg / m³
v₂ = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{276000}{1000} - 43.675}[/tex]

A T-shirt cannon launches a shirt at 5.30 m/s from a platform height of 4.00 m from ground level. How fast (in m/s) will the shirt be traveling if it is caught by someone whose hands are at 5.20 m from ground level (b) 4.00 m from ground level?
Answer:
(a) the velocity of the shirt is 2.14 m/s
(b) the velocity of the shirt is 5.3 m/s
Explanation:
Given;
initial velocity of the shirt, u = 5.3 m/s
height of the platform above the ground, h = 4.00 m
(a) When the shirt is caught by someone whose hand is 5.20 m from the ground level, the height traveled by the shirt = 5.2 m - 4.0 m = 1.2 m
The velocity at this position is calculated as;
[tex]v^2 = u^2 + 2(-g)h\\\\v^2 = u^2 - 2gh\\\\v^2 = 5.3^2 - (2\times 9.8 \times 1.2)\\\\v^2 = 4.57\\\\v= \sqrt{4.57} \\\\v = 2.14 \ m/s[/tex]
(b) When the shirt is caught by someone whose hand is 4.00 m from the ground level, the height traveled by the shirt = 4.00 m - 4.00 m = 0 m
The velocity at this position is calculated as;
[tex]v^2 = u^2 + 2(-g)h\\\\v^2 = u^2 - 2gh\\\\v^2 = 5.3^2 - (2\times 9.8 \times 0)\\\\v^2 = 28.09\\\\v= \sqrt{28.09} \\\\v = 5.3 \ m/s[/tex]

A barge is hauled along a straight-line section of canal by two horses harnessed to tow ropes and walking along the tow paths on
either side of the canal. Each horse pulls with a force of 839 N at an angle of 15° with the centerline of the canal. Find the sum of these
two forces on the barge.
answer in ___kN
Answer:
1.621 kN
Explanation:
Since each horse pulls with a force of 839 N at an angle of 15° with the centerline of the canal, the horizontal component of the force due to the first horse along the canal is F= 839cos15° N and its vertical component is F' = 839sin15° N(it is positive since it is perpendicular to the centerline of the canal and points upwards).
The horizontal component of the force due to the second horse along the canal is f = 839cos15° N and its vertical component is f' = -839sin15° N (it is negative since it is perpendicular to the centerline of the canal and points downwards).
So, the resultant horizontal component of force R = F + f = 839cos15° N + 839cos15° N = 2(839cos15°) N = 2(839 × 0.9659) = 2 × 810.412 = 1620.82 N
So, the resultant vertical component of force R' = F' + f' = 839sin15° N + (-839sin15° N) = 839sin15° N - 839sin15° N = 0 N
The magnitude of the resultant force which is the sum of the two forces is R" = √(R² + R'²)
= √(R² + 0²) (since R' = 0)
= √R²
= R
= 1620.82 N
= 1.62082 kN
≅ 1.621 kN
So, the sum of these two forces on the barge is 1.621 kN

What is elasticity?Elasticity in physics and materials science refers to a body's capacity to withstand a force that causes distortion and to recover its original dimensions once the force has been withdrawn.
When sufficient loads are applied, solid objects will deform; if the material is elastic, the object will return to its original size and shape after the weights have been removed. Unlike plasticity, which prevents this from happening and causes the item to stay deformed,
Given parameters:
The elastic extensibility of a piece of string is 0.08.
The string is 100 cm long.
Hence, it becomes plastic, after it is stretched up to = 100 × 0.08 cm = 8 cm. The string will be 108 cm long.

O B. 1, 2, 3, and 6
O C. 1, 2, 3, 5 and 6
O D. 1, 3, and 5
Answer:
1.Emitted primarily through the burning of fossil fuels (oil, natural gas, and coal), solid waste, and trees and wood products. Changes in land use also play a role. Deforestation and soil degradation add carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, while forest regrowth takes it out of the atmosphere.
2.Acid rain is caused by a chemical reaction that begins when compounds like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are released into the air. These substances can rise very high into the atmosphere, where they mix and react with water, oxygen, and other chemicals to form more acidic pollutants, known as acid rain.
3.Untreated, heat exhaustion can lead to heatstroke, a life-threatening condition that occurs when your core body temperature reaches 104 F (40 C) or higher. Heatstroke requires immediate medical attention to prevent permanent damage to your brain and other vital organs that can result in death.
4.The loss of solar energy in passing through the atmospheric layers is called the atmospheric deflection. ... The longer the path traversed, the greater the amount of radiant energy depleted. Various processes whereby heat energy is lost through the atmosphere are known as scattering, diffusion, absorption, and reflection.
5.Geothermal energy is renewable because the Earth has retained a huge amount of the heat energy that was generated during formation of the planet. In addition, heat is continuously produced by decay of radioactive elements within the Earth. The amount of heat within the Earth, and the amount that is lost though natural processes (e.g. volcanic activity, conduction/radiation to the atmosphere), are much, much more than the amount of heat lost through geothermal energy production. At any one geothermal field, however, the temperature of the geothermal reservoir or the fluid levels/fluid pressure in the reservoir may decrease over time as fluids are produced and energy is extracted. Produced fluids can be re-injected to maintain pressures, although this may further cool down the reservoir if care is not taken. Over time, it is commonly necessary to drill additional wells in order to maintain energy production as temperatures and/or reservoir fluid pressures decline.
6.Floods, Floodplains, and Flood-Prone Areas. ... Flooding is a result of heavy or continuous rainfall exceeding the absorptive capacity of soil and the flow capacity of rivers, streams, and coastal areas. This causes a watercourse to overflow its banks onto adjacent lands.
The environmental concerns associated with the production of electricity are the release of greenhouse gases, the release of gases that cause acid rain, the release of excess heat, the flooding of land, and the depletion of geothermal energy so, option C is correct.
What is electricity?The presence or movement of charged particles is electricity. The movement of electrons through a circuit is known as an electric current. The accumulation of electrons on an insulator causes static electricity.
Mostly released when solid trash, trees, and wood products are burned, along with fossil fuels (coal, gas, and oil).
Land use changes also have an impact. Carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere by deforestation and soil erosion, while it is removed from it by forest regeneration.

The patellar tendon attaches to the tibia at a 20 deg angle 3 cm from the axis of rotation at the knee. If the force generated in the patellar tendon is 400 N, what is the resulting angular acceleration, in rad/s2), if the lower leg and foot have a combined mass of 4.2kg and a given radius of gyration of 25 cm
Answer:
the resulting angular acceleration is 15.65 rad/s²
Explanation:
Given the data in the question;
force generated in the patellar tendon F = 400 N
patellar tendon attaches to the tibia at a 20° angle 3 cm( 0.03 m ) from the axis of rotation at the knee.
so Torque produced by the knee will be;
T = F × d⊥
T = 400 N × 0.03 m × sin( 20° )
T = 400 N × 0.03 m × 0.342
T = 4.104 N.m
Now, we determine the moment of inertia of the knee
I = mk²
given that; the lower leg and foot have a combined mass of 4.2kg and a given radius of gyration of 25 cm ( 0.25 m )
we substitute
I = 4.2 kg × ( 0.25 m )²
I = 4.2 kg × 0.0626 m²
I = 0.2625 kg.m²
So from the relation of Moment of inertia, Torque and angular acceleration;
T = I∝
we make angular acceleration ∝, subject of the formula
∝ = T / I
we substitute
∝ = 4.104 / 0.2625
∝ = 15.65 rad/s²
Therefore, the resulting angular acceleration is 15.65 rad/s²
A 59.0 kg bungee jumper jumps off a bridge and undergoes simple harmonic motion. If the period of oscillation is 0.250 mins, what is the spring constant (in N/m) of the bungee cord, assuming it has negligible mass compared to that of the jumper
Answer:
The spring constant of the spring is 10.3 N/m.
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of a bungee jumper, m = 59 kg
The period of oscillation, T = 0.25 min = 15 sec
We need to find the spring constant of the bungee cord. We know that the period of oscillation is given by :
[tex]T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{m}{k}}[/tex]
Where
k is the spring constant
[tex]T^2=4\pi^2\times \dfrac{m}{k}\\\\k=4\pi^2\times \dfrac{m}{T^2}\\\\k=4\pi^2\times \dfrac{59}{(15)^2}\\\\k=10.3\ N/m[/tex]
So, the spring constant of the spring is 10.3 N/m.
