An ideal spring hangs from the ceiling. a 1.25-kg mass is hung from the spring. after all vibrations have died away, the spring is found to have stretched 0.0275 m from its original length. the mass is then pushed up 0.0735 m from its equilibrium position and released. what is the kinetic energy of the mass at the instant it passes back through its equilibrium position?

Answer from: giovney

The kinetic energy of the mass at the instant it passes back through its equilibrium position is about 1.20 J

$\texttt{ }$

Further explanation

Let's recall Elastic Potential Energy formula as follows:

$\boxed{E_p = \frac{1}{2}k x^2}$

where:

Ep = elastic potential energy ( J )

k = spring constant ( N/m )

x = spring extension ( compression ) ( m )

Let us now tackle the problem!

$\texttt{ }$

Given:

mass of object = m = 1.25 kg

initial extension = x = 0.0275 m

final extension = x' = 0.0735 - 0.0275 = 0.0460 m

Asked:

kinetic energy = Ek = ?

Solution:

Firstly , we will calculate the spring constant by using Hooke's Law as follows:

F = k x

mg = k x

$k = mg \div x$

$k = 1.25(9.8) \div 0.0275$

$k = 445 \frac{5}{11} \texttt{ N/m}$

$\texttt{ }$

Next , we will use Conservation of Energy formula to solve this problem:

Ep_1 + Ek_1 = Ep_2 + Ek_2

$\frac{1}{2}k (x')^2 + mgh + 0 = \frac{1}{2}k x^2 + Ek$

$Ek = \frac{1}{2}k (x')^2 + mgh - \frac{1}{2}k x^2$

$Ek = \frac{1}{2}k ( (x')^2 - x^2 ) + mgh$

$Ek = \frac{1}{2}(445 \frac{5}{11}) ( 0.0460^2 - 0.0275^2 ) + 1.25(9.8)(0.0735)$

$\boxed {Ek \approx 1.20 \texttt{ J}}$

Answer from: kkingstone7062

KE= 1.20 J

Explanation:

Given that

m = 1.25 kg

x= 0.0275 m

A= 0.0735 m

F= K x = m g

k = mg/x

$k=\dfrac{1.25\times 9.81}{0.0275 }\ N/m$

k=445.9 N/m

This is the spring constant.

Kinetic energy of mass when it passes through equilibrium given as

$KE=\dfrac{kA^2}{2}$

By putting the values

$KE=\dfrac{445.9\times 0.0735^2}{2}$

KE= 1.20 J

so here is the information for current research:

-nrel's geothermal analysts, scientists, and engineers perform a full range of research from developing advanced methods of locating and accessing geothermal resources to exploring innovative technologies to extract and produce clean energy from the heat of the earth

and here is the information for the technology of geothermal energy:

-it's clean and sustainable

-resources of geothermal energy range from the shallow ground to hot water and hot rock found a few miles beneath the earth's surface, and down even deeper to the extremely high temperatures of molten rock called magma

-almost everywhere, the shallow ground or upper 10 feet of the earth's surface maintains a nearly constant temperature between 50° and 60°f (10° and 16°c)

-geothermal heat pumps can tap into this resource to heat and cool buildings

-a geothermal heat pump system consists of a heat pump, an air delivery system (ductwork), and a heat exchanger-a system of pipes buried in the shallow ground near the building

-in the winter, the heat pump removes heat from the heat exchanger and pumps it into the indoor air delivery system

-in the summer, the process is reversed, and the heat pump moves heat from the indoor air into the heat exchanger

-the heat removed from the indoor air during the summer can also be used to provide a free source of hot water

Ahair dryer is basically a duct in which a few layers of electric resistors are placed. a small fan pulls the air in and forces it through the resistors where it is heated. air enters a 1200 w hair dryer at 100 kpa and 22°c and leaves at 47°c. the cross-sectional area of the hair dryer at the exit is 60 cm2. neglecting the power consumed by the fan and the heat losses through the walls of the hair dryer, determine (a) the volume flow rate of air at the inlet and (b) the velocity of the air at the exit.
