Explanation:
Show that the motion of a mass attached to the end of a spring is SHM
Consider a mass "m" attached to the end of an elastic spring. The other end of the spring is fixed
at the a firm support as shown in figure "a". The whole system is placed on a smooth horizontal surface.
If we displace the mass 'm' from its mean position 'O' to point "a" by applying an external force, it is displaced by '+x' to its right, there will be elastic restring force on the mass equal to F in the left side which is applied by the spring.
According to "Hook's Law
F = - Kx ---- (1)
Negative sign indicates that the elastic restoring force is opposite to the displacement.
Where K= Spring Constant
If we release mass 'm' at point 'a', it moves forward to ' O'. At point ' O' it will not stop but moves forward towards point "b" due to inertia and covers the same displacement -x. At point 'b' once again elastic restoring force 'F' acts upon it but now in the right side. In this way it continues its motion
from a to b and then b to a.
According to Newton's 2nd law of motion, force 'F' produces acceleration 'a' in the body which is given by
F = ma ---- (2)
Comparing equation (1) & (2)
ma = -kx
Here k/m is constant term, therefore ,
a = - (Constant)x
or
a a -x
This relation indicates that the acceleration of body attached to the end elastic spring is directly proportional to its displacement. Therefore its motion is Simple Harmonic Motion.
Explanation:
For each object, the initial potential energy is converted to rotational energy and translational energy:
PE = RE + KE
mgh = ½ Iω² + ½ mv²
For the marble (a solid sphere), I = ⅖ mr².
For the basketball (a hollow sphere), I = ⅔ mr².
For the manhole cover (a solid cylinder), I = ½ mr².
For the wedding ring (a hollow cylinder), I = mr².
If we say k is the coefficient in each case:
mgh = ½ (kmr²) ω² + ½ mv²
For rolling without slipping, ωr = v:
mgh = ½ kmv² + ½ mv²
gh = ½ kv² + ½ v²
2gh = (k + 1) v²
v² = 2gh / (k + 1)
The smaller the value of k, the higher the velocity. Therefore:
marble > manhole cover > basketball > wedding ring
I think it is D. I hope this helps
Answer:
a positive test charge will move in the field
Explanation:
The direction of an electric field corresponds to the direction of motion of a positive test charge in the electric field. In fact:
- the electric field produced by a positive charge points outwards the charge --> this is because when a positive test charge is placed in this field, it will feel a repulsive force (because two positive charges repel each other), so it will move away from the positive charge that produces the field
- the electric field produced by a negative charge points towards the charge itself--> this is because when a positive test charge is placed in this field, it will feel an attractive force (because a positive and a negative charge attract each other), so it will move toward the negative charge that produces the field.
