Answer:
The answer to the question is;
The total potential energy of the mass on the spring when the mass is at either endpoint of its motion is 5.0255 Joules.
Explanation:
To answer the question, we note that the maximum speed is 2.30 m/s and the mass is 1.90 kg
Therefore the maximum kinetic energy of motion is given by
Kinetic Energy, KE =
Where,
m = Attached vibrating mass = 1.90 kg
v = velocity of the string = 2.3 m/s
Therefore Kinetic Energy, KE = ×1.9×2.3² = 5.0255 J
From the law of conservation of energy, we have the kinetic energy, during the cause of the vibration is converted to potential energy when the mass is at either endpoint of its motion
Therefore Potential Energy PE at end point = Kinetic Energy, KE at the middle of the motion
That is the total potential energy of the mass on the spring when the mass is at either endpoint of its motion is equal to the maximum kinetic energy.
Total PE = Maximum KE = 5.0255 J.
Answer:
6 m/s is the missing final velocity
Explanation:
From the data table we extract that there were two objects (X and Y) that underwent an inelastic collision, moving together after the collision as a new object with mass equal the addition of the two original masses, and a new velocity which is the unknown in the problem).
Object X had a mass of 300 kg, while object Y had a mass of 100 kg.
Object's X initial velocity was positive (let's imagine it on a horizontal axis pointing to the right) of 10 m/s. Object Y had a negative velocity (imagine it as pointing to the left on the horizontal axis) of -6 m/s.
We can solve for the unknown, using conservation of momentum in the collision: Initial total momentum = Final total momentum (where momentum is defined as the product of the mass of the object times its velocity.
In numbers, and calling the initial momentum of object X and
the initial momentum of object Y, we can derive the total initial momentum of the system:
Since in the collision there is conservation of the total momentum, this initial quantity should equal the quantity for the final mometum of the stack together system (that has a total mass of 400 kg):
Final momentum of the system:
We then set the equality of the momenta (total initial equals final) and proceed to solve the equation for the unknown(final velocity of the system):
