A mass (m = 30 g) falls onto a spring (k = 7.3 N/m) from a height (h = 25 cm). The spring compresses an additional amount x before temporarily coming to a stop. What is the value of x?
Answer:
x₁ = 0.1878 m
Explanation:
For this exercise we will use conservation of energy
starting point. Highest point
Em₀ = U = m g h
final point. Lowest point with fully compressed spring
Em_f = K_e + U
Em_f = ½ K x² + m g x
energy is conserved
Em₀ = Em_f
m g h = ½ K x² + m g x
½ K x² + mg (x- h) = 0
let's substitute
½ 7.3 x² + 0.030 9.8 (x- 0.25) = 0
3.65 x² + 0.294 (x- 0.25) = 0
x² + 0.080548 (x- 0.25) = 0
x² - 0.020137 + 0.080548 x = 0
x² + 0.080548 x - 0.020137 = 0
let's solve the quadratic equation
x = [0.080548 ±√ (0.080548² + 4 0.020137)] / 2
x = [0.080548 ± 0.29502] / 2
x₁ = 0.1878 m
x₂ = -0.1072 m
These are the compression and extension displacement of the spring

A lamp of mass m hangs from a spring scale which is attached to the ceiling of an elevator. When the elevator is stopped at the fortieth floor, the scale reads mg. What does it read as the elevator slows down to stop at the ground floor?
a. more than mg
b. mg
c. less than mg
d. zero
e. can't tell
Answer:
The correct answer is (a)
Explanation:
A spring scale measures the weight of an object not the mass because according to hooke's law the extension of a spring is directly proportional to the load or force attached/applied to it. The force of gravity acting on the mass of any substance as it goes up actually reduces and increases as it comes down.
If F = ma, as a increases, F will also increase and vice versa
Where F = force
m = mass
a = acceleration (due to gravity in this case)
From the above explanation, it can be deduced that the scale will read more than mg as it gets to the ground because of an increase in the force of gravity (which also increases a) as it approaches the ground.
While making some observations at the top of the 66 m tall Astronomy tower, Ron
accidently knocks a 0.5 kg stone over the edge. How long will a student at the bottom
have to get out of the way before being hit?
Analysing the question:
Since the stone was dropped, there was no initial velocity applied on it and hence it's initial velocity of the stone is 0 m/s
We are given:
height of the tower (h) = 66 m
mass of the stone (m) = 0.5 kg
initial velocity of the stone (u) = 0 m/s
time taken by the stone to reach the ground (t) = t seconds
acceleration due to gravity = 10 m/s²
** Neglecting air resistance**
Finding the time taken by the stone to reach the ground:
from the second equation of motion
h = ut + 1/2at²
replacing the variables
66 = (0)(t) + 1/2 (10)(t)²
66 = 5t²
t² = 13.2
t = 3.6 seconds
I initially wanted to subtract the height of the student from the height of the tower since the time i calculated is the time taken by the stone to reach the ground and that means that the stone has already hit the student before 3.6 seconds
but since we were NOT given the height of a student, the person who posed this question wants the time taken by the stone to reach the ground and that is what we solved
A microwave oven operates at 2.50 GHzGHz . What is the wavelength of the radiation produced by this appliance? Express the wavelength numerically in nanometers.
Answer:
The wavelength is [tex]\lambda = 1.2 * 10^8 nm[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The frequency of operation of the microwave is [tex]f = 2.50 GHz = 2.50 *10^{9} \ Hz[/tex]
Generally the wavelength is mathematically represented as
[tex]\lambda = \frac{c}{f}[/tex]
Here c is the speed of light with value [tex]c = 3.0 *10^{8} \ m/s[/tex]
So
[tex]\lambda = \frac{3.0 *10^{8}}{ 2.50 *10^{9}}[/tex]
=> [tex]\lambda = 0.12 \ m [/tex]
converting to nanometer
[tex]\lambda = 1.2 * 10^8 nm[/tex]

When a parachute opens, the air exerts a large drag force on it. This upward force is initially greater than the weight of the sky diver and, thus, slows him down. Suppose the weight of the sky diver is 915 N and the drag force has a magnitude of 1061 N. The mass of the sky diver is 93.4 kg. Take upward to be the positive direction. What is his acceleration, including sign
Explanation:
According to newton's second law of motion.
[tex]\sum Fx = ma\\\\\sum Fx = 1061 - 915\\\\\sum Fx = 146N[/tex]
m is the mas of the sky diver = 93.4kg
a is the acceleration of the skydiver
From the formula above;
[tex]a = \frac{\sum Fx}{m}\\ \\a = \frac{146}{93.4}\\\\a = 1.563m/s^2[/tex]
Hence the acceleration of the sky diver is 1.563m/s²
How much voltage (in terms of the power source voltage bV) will the capacitor have when it has started at zero volts potential difference, it is connected to the power supply and resistor and onehalf the characteristic time has passed (i.e. t= T(tau)/2)?
Answer:
The voltage is [tex]V = 0.993V_b[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The time that has passed is [tex]t = \frac{\tau}{2}[/tex]
Here [tex]\tau[/tex] is know as the time constant
The voltage of the power source is [tex]V_b[/tex]
Generally the voltage equation for charging a capacitor is mathematically represented as
[tex]V = V_b [1 - e^{- \frac{t}{\tau} }][/tex]
=> [tex]V = V_b [1 - e^{- \frac{\frac{\tau}{2}}{\tau} }][/tex]
=> [tex]V = V_b [1 - e^{- \frac{\tau}{2\tau} }][/tex]
=> [tex]V = V_b [1 - e^{- \frac{1}{2} }][/tex]
=> [tex]V = 0.993V_b[/tex]
A Navy Seal of mass 80 kg parachuted directly down into an enemy harbor. At one point while she was falling, the resistive force that air exerted on her was 520 N upward. What can you determine about her motion at this point in time
Answer:
The Navy Seal is accelerating downwards at the rate of 3.3 m/s²
Explanation:
Given;
mass of the Navy Seal, m = 80 kg
the upward resistive force on her, F = 520 N
Her net downward force is given by;
[tex]F_{net} = F_{down} - F_{up}\\\\F_{net} = (80*9.8) - 520\\\\F_{net} = 264 \ N[/tex]
Her downward acceleration at this time is given by;
F = ma
a = F / m
a = 264 / 80
a = 3.3 m/s²
Therefore, the Navy Seal is accelerating downwards at the rate of 3.3 m/s²

. Suppose you walk 18.0 m straight west and then 25.0 m straight north. How far are you from your starting point? What is your displacement vector? What is the direction of your displacement? Assume the +x-axis is to the east.
Answer:
Explanation:
The total distance is how far you walk from the starting point.
Distance through west = 18.0m
Distance through north = 25.0m
Total distance covered = 18.0+25.0m
Total distance covered = 43.0m
This means that I am 43.0m from the starting point
Displacement is the distance covered in a specified direction. The displacement will be gotten using the Pythagoras theorem as shown:
[tex]d^2 = 25^2 + 18^2\\d^2 = 625+324\\d^2 = 949\\d = \sqrt{949}\\ d = 30.81m[/tex]
The direction of your displacement is 30.81m
Direction is gotten according to the formula;
[tex]\theta = tan ^{-1}{\frac{y}{x} }\\\theta = tan ^{-1}{\frac{25}{-18} }\\\theta = tan ^{-1}-1.3889}\\\theta = -60.27^0\\\theta = 180-60.27\\\theta = 119.7^0[/tex]
Note that the direction to the west is negative, that is why the x is -18.0m
The distance from the starting point is 43 m, the displacement vector is 30.81 m and the direction of the displacement is 119.7 degrees.
Given-
Distance travel through the west is 18 m.
Distance travel through the north is 25 m.
Distance from starting point-
To know the total distance, add both the covered distance. Thus total distance x is,
[tex]x=18+25[/tex]
[tex]x=43[/tex]
Hence, the distance from the starting point is 43 m.
The displacement vector-
Displacement is calculated as the shortest distance between starting and final point. This shortest distance can be calculated using the Pythagoras theorem which states that in a right-angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse [tex]d[/tex] is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. Therefore,
[tex]d^2=18^2+25^2[/tex]
[tex]d^2=324+625[/tex]
[tex]d^2=949[/tex]
[tex]d=\sqrt{949}[/tex]
[tex]d=30.81[/tex]
The displacement vector is 30.81 m.
The Direction of displacement-The direction of displacement [tex]\theta[/tex] with these two sides can be calculated with the formula,
[tex]\theta=tan^{-1}\dfrac{25}{-18}[/tex]
Here due to the west direction(opposite side), the sign is taken negatively.
[tex]\theta=tan^{-1}(-1.389)[/tex]
[tex]\theta=-60.27^o[/tex]
For the other quarter,
[tex]\theta=180-60.27=119.7^o[/tex]
Hence, the distance from the starting point is 43 m, the displacement vector is 30.81 m and the direction of the displacement is 119.7 degrees.

A force of 40 N is applied tangentially to the rim of a solid disk of radius 0.10 m. The disk rotates about an axis through its center and perpendicular to its face with a constant angular acceleration of 145 rad/s2. Determine the mass of the disk.
Answer:
m = 2,759 kg
Explanation:
For this exercise we use the torque relationship
τ = I α
the moment is
τ= F r sin θ
since the force is tangential to the ring, the angle is 90º sin 90 = 1
τ = F r
the moment of inertia of a ring is given by
I = m r²
let's substitute
F r = m r²α
m = F / r α
let's calculate
m = 40 / (0.10 145)
m = 2,759 kg

A small compass is held horizontally, the center of its needle has a distance of 0.270 m directly north
of a long wire that is perpendicular to the Earth's surface. When there is no current in the wire, the
compass needle points due north, which is the direction of the horizontal component of the Earth's
magnetic field at that location. This component is parallel to the Earth's surface. When the current in
the wire is 26.3 A, the needle points 22.9∘ east of north.
(a) Does the current in the wire flow toward or away from the Earth's surface? ( 2 marks)
(b) What is the magnitude of the horizontal component of the Earth's magnetic field at the location of
the compass? (3 marks)
Answer:
Explanation:
The needle is showing north south direction . when current starts flowing in the wire which is held vertical to the ground , it deflects towards east .
a )
Therefore a magnetic field towards east has been created . It is possible only if current flows towards the surface in the vertical wire .
b )
magnetic field created at the magnetic needle B = 10⁻⁷ x 2I / d where I is current and d is distance .
B = 10⁻⁷ x 2 x 26.3 / .27
= 194.81 x 10⁻⁷ T
angle of deflection of solenoid = 22.9°
Tan 22.9 = B /H
.422 = 194.81 x 10⁻⁷ / H
H = 461.63 x 10⁻⁷ T
= .46 x 10⁻⁴ T .
A) The current in the wire flows towards the Earth's surface
B) The magnitude of the horizontal component of the Earth's magnetic field is : 0.46 x 10⁻⁴ T
A) The compass needle held horizontally points in a North-south direction of the earth and also deflects eastwards when current is allowed to flow through it. The deflection of the needle indicates the presence/generation of a magnetic field on the earth surface. which is facilitated by the flow of the current in the wire towards the Earth's surface
B) Determine The magnitude of the horizontal component of the Earth's magnetic field
B ( magnetic field ) = 10⁻⁷ * 2I / d ---- ( 1 )
where : l = 26.3 A, d = 0.27 m
Back to equation ( 1 )
B = 10⁻⁷ * 2 * 26.3 / 0.27
= 194.81 * 10⁻⁷ T
Final step : Calculate the magnitude of horizontal component ( H )
Tan ∅ = B / H ---- ( 2 )
where : ∅ ( angle of deflection ) = 22.9°
∴ H = B / Tan ( 22.9° )
= ( 194.81 * 10⁻⁷ ) / 0.422
= 0.46 x 10⁻⁴ T
Hence we can conclude that The current in the wire flows towards the Earth's surface and The magnitude of the horizontal component of the Earth's magnetic field is : 0.46 x 10⁻⁴ T

If the speed of a car is increased by 75%, by what factor will its minimum braking distance be increased, assuming all else is the same
Answer:
breaking distance will increase by a factor 3.0625
Explanation:
From Newton's equation of motion, we can say that;
v² = u² + 2as
Where initial velocity is zero, we have;
v² = 2as
s = v²/2a
Where s is the distance and v is the final speed.
We will assume the deceleration(negative acceleration) is the same value,
Now, we see that the distance is directly proportional to the square of the velocity.
Now, 75% increase in speed means it has increased by a factor of 1.75
Thus means;
1.75²v² is directly proportional to the 1.75²d
Distance =
1.75²v² = 3.0625d
Thus, breaking distance will increase by a factor 3.0625
Water enters a 2 m3 tank at a rate of 6 kg/s and is withdrawn at a rate of 2 kg/s. The tank is initially half full. What type of process is this?
Answer:
This process is semicontinuous.
Explanation:
Given that,
Volume = 2 m³
Enter flow rate = 6 kg/s
Exit flow rate = 2 kg/s
The tank is initially half full.
We need to find what type of process
Using given data,
This process is not continuous because given enter and exit flow rate is not equal.
This process is semicontinuous and the water level in the tank does not reach a constant level.
Hence, This process is semicontinuous.
A plane travelling at 100 m/s accelerates at 5 m/s² for a distance of 125 m. What is the final velocity of the plane?
Analyzing the question:
We are given:
initial velocity (u) = 100 m/s
final velocity (v) = v m/s
distance (s) = 125 m
acceleration (a) = 5 m/s²
Solving for Final Velocity (v):
from the third equation of motion:
v² - u² = 2as
v² - (100)² = 2(5)(125)
v² - 10000 = 1250
v² = 1250 + 10000
v² = 11250
v = 106.06 m/s
Two students measured the length of the same stick, each using a different 30 cm ruler. One student reported a length of 22 cm, and the other reported a length of 8 cm. The most likely explanation for the difference in the reported values is that one —
A. *student improperly read the ruler
B. ruler was metal and the other ruler was plastic
C. student viewed the ruler from a different angle
D. ruler was constructed with nonstandard cm marks
Answer:
C. student viewed the ruler from a different angle
Explanation:
It is the problem of viewing the scale from different sides or angles. If we assume the actual length of the stick to be 22 cm. Then the first student measured the length by reading the values from 1 cm towards 22 cm on the scale. While, the second student measured the length of the stick by reading the values from the other side or the other angle of the scale, that is, from 30 cm mark towards 1 cm. And in that case the the length of the 22 cm long stick will appear as:
30 cm - 22 cm = 8 cm
Therefore, the second student read 8 cm on scale. So, the correct option is:
C. student viewed the ruler from a different angle

A coin rests on a record 0.15 m from its center. The record turns on a turntable that rotates at variable speed. The coefficient of static friction between the coin and the record is 0.30.
Required:
What is the maximum coin speed at which it does not slip?
Answer:
0.66m/sExplanation:
We are expected to solve for the velocity with no slip condition
we know that the expression that relate coefficient of friction and velocity is given as
μs = v^2/rg
Given
coefficient of friction μs = 0.3
radius r= 0.15
assume g=9.81m/s^2
substituting into the expression we have
0.3= v^2/0.15*9.81
v^2=0.3*0.15*9.81
v^2=0.44145
v=√0.44145
v=0.66
therefore the velocity is 0.66m/s

A box has an arrow pointing up labeled F and an arrow pointing down labeled 3 N.
If the net force on the object along the vertical plane is zero, which statement is correct?
F equals 3 N and the object moves up.
F equals 3 N and the object remains stationary.
F equals 0 N and the object moves down.
F equals 0 N and the object remains stationary.
Answer:
F equals 3 N and the object remains stationary. (second option in the list)
Explanation:
For sure to cancel acting forces, F must be 3N pointing up. But with regards to the object stationary or not, the question is tricky. We could have a ZERO net force applied, and the object moving at constant speed, which could still verify Newton's Laws. But considering the first answer option that refers to vertical motion upward where the object could be gaining potential energy, the most accurate response is that the force F has to be 3 N pointing up to make the object in equilibrium, and no motion in the vertical axis.
Answer: F equals 3 N and the object remains stationary.
