An object is attached to a hanging unstretched ideal and massless spring and slowly lowered to its equilibrium position, a dista

nce of 6.4 cm below the starting point. If instead of having been lowered slowly the object was dropped from rest, how far then would it then stretch the spring at maximum elongation?

Answer:

        h = 12.8 cm

Explanation:

The initial parameters are as follows:

distance = 6.4 cm

  • when the object descends, its weight matches the spring's force

        weight = spring force

         mg = ky... equation 1

  • potential energy stored in a stretched spring = work done by the spring

        mgh = 0.5 x k x h^{2}....equation 2

  • Substituting from equation 1 into equation 2

                kyh =  0.5 x k x h^{2}

                y =  0.5 x h

                2y = h

  • where y is 6.4, yielding the maximum elongation as

          h = 2 x 6.4 = 12.8 cm

A moving sidewalk 95 m in length carries passengers at a speed of 0.53 m/s. One passenger has a normal walking speed of 1.24 m/s
Maru [3345]
Answer: a) t = 1.8 x 10^2 seconds; b) t = 54 seconds; c) t = 49 seconds. Explanation: a) To determine the time of a stationary passenger on the sidewalk, we use the position formula. Given the constant speed of the walkway, we can calculate the time taken for set distances accordingly. This calculation extends into cases where combined velocities for walking are involved in subsequent queries.

A hiker walks 200m west and then walks 100m north. What is the magnitude and direction of her resulting displacement?
Maru [3345]

A hiker proceeds 200 m west and subsequently another 100 m north, resulting in a displacement of 223 m. The direction can be determined using the trigonometric function where sin(angle) = opposite/hypotenuse, yielding an angle of 26.6 degrees. Therefore, the total displacement is 223 m at an angle of 26.6 degrees north of west.

A composite wall separates combustion gases at 2400°C from a liquid coolant at 100°C, with gas and liquid-side convection coeffi
Ostrovityanka [3204]

Response:

\text{heat loss} = 24864.05 \ W/m^2

Clarification:

If

  • T_1, T_2 represent the temperatures of gases and liquids in Kelvins,
  • t_1 and t_2 denote the thicknesses of the gas layer and steel slab in meters,
  • h_1, h_2 are the convection coefficients for gas and liquid in W/m^2 \cdot K,
  • R_c represents the contact resistance in m^2 \cdot K/W,
  • and k_1, k_2 signify thermal conductivities of gas and steel in W/m \cdot K,

then: part(a):

\text{heat loss } = \frac{T_1 - T_2} { \frac{1}{h_1} + \frac{t_1}{t_2} + R_c + \frac{t_2}{k_2} + \frac{1}{h_2}}

by employing known values:

\text {heat loss} = 2486.05 W/m^2

part(b): Utilizing the rate equation:

\text {heat loss} = h_1 (T_1 - T_{s1})

the surface temperature is T_{s1} = 1678.438 \ K

and T_{c1} = T_{s1} - \frac {t_1 (\text{heat loss})}{k_1} = 1664.560 \ K

Correspondingly

T_{c2} = T_{c1} - R_c (\text{heat loss}) = 421.357 \ K

T_{s2} = T_{c2} - \frac {t_2 (\text{heat loss})}{ k_2} = 397.864 \ K
