An extraterrestrial civilisation lives on a planet with a very elliptical orbit. Additionally, thousands of large asteroids orbi

t their solar system. The civilisation uses the light from their home star to count the number of asteroids in the direct line between the star and their planet. For a first measurement, they count the asteroids for 60 days and detect 1000 objects. Several months later, they start a second measurement: This time, they count for 80 days. How many asteroids will they detect during the second measurement? Explain why. (Note: Assume that the asteroids are homogeneously distributed in their solar system.)

Consider a spring mass system (mass m1, spring constant k) with period T1. Now consider a spring mass system with the same sprin
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

Assuming that both mass here move horizontally on a frictionless surface, and that this spring follows Hooke's Law, then the mass of m_2 would be four times that of m_1.

Explanation:

In general, if the mass in a spring-mass system moves horizontally on a frictionless surface, and that the spring follows Hooke's Law, then

\displaystyle \frac{m_2}{m_1} = \left(\frac{T_2}{T_1}\right)^2.

Here's how this statement can be concluded from the equations for a simple harmonic motion (SHM.)

In an SHM, if the period is T, then the angular velocity of the SHM would be

\displaystyle \omega = \frac{2\pi}{T}.

Assume that the mass starts with a zero displacement and a positive velocity. If A represent the amplitude of the SHM, then the displacement of the mass at time t would be:

\mathbf{x}(t) = A\sin(\omega\cdot t).

The velocity of the mass at time t would be:

\mathbf{v}(t) = A\,\omega \, \cos(\omega\, t).

The acceleration of the mass at time t would be:

\mathbf{a}(t) = -A\,\omega^2\, \sin(\omega \, t).

Let m represent the size of the mass attached to the spring. By Newton's Second Law, the net force on the mass at time t would be:

\mathbf{F}(t) = m\, \mathbf{a}(t) = -m\, A\, \omega^2 \, \cos(\omega\cdot t),

Since it is assumed that the mass here moves on a horizontal frictionless surface, only the spring could supply the net force on the mass. Therefore, the force that the spring exerts on the mass will be equal to the net force on the mass. If the spring satisfies Hooke's Law, then the spring constant k will be equal to:

\begin{aligned} k &= -\frac{\mathbf{F}(t)}{\mathbf{x}(t)} \\ &= \frac{m\, A\, \omega^2\, \cos(\omega\cdot t)}{A \cos(\omega \cdot t)} \\ &= m \, \omega^2\end{aligned}.

Since \displaystyle \omega = \frac{2\pi}{T}, it can be concluded that:

\begin{aligned} k &= m \, \omega^2 = m \left(\frac{2\pi}{T}\right)^2\end{aligned}.

For the first mass m_1, if the time period is T_1, then the spring constant would be:

\displaystyle k = m_1\, \left(\frac{2\pi}{T_1}\right)^2.

Similarly, for the second mass m_2, if the time period is T_2, then the spring constant would be:

\displaystyle k = m_2\, \left(\frac{2\pi}{T_2}\right)^2.

Since the two springs are the same, the two spring constants should be equal to each other. That is:

\displaystyle m_1\, \left(\frac{2\pi}{T_1}\right)^2 = k = m_2\, \left(\frac{2\pi}{T_2}\right)^2.

Simplify to obtain:

\displaystyle \frac{m_2}{m_1} = \left(\frac{T_2}{T_1}\right)^2.

Virty [35]

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

The acceleration would be  a = 0.003* 6 =0.018\  m/s^2    

Explanation:

The objective of this solution is to obtain the acceleration of the particle

       Now looking at Newton law which is mathematically represented as

                       F = ma

  Where F is the force experience by a particle

              m is the mass of the particle

              a is the acceleration of the particle

  And also this force is equivalent to magnetic force in a magnetic field which is mathematically represented as

                    F = qvB

Where q is the charge of the particle

             v is the velocity of the  charge

             B is the magnetic field the charge is under it influence

  Now equating this two formulas

                   ma = qvB

 Making a the subject we have

                  a = \frac{qvB}{m}

In the question the direction of the is in the positive x-axis which is i hence the direction would be in the i direction

      So substituting  (2.0i +3.0j+4.0k)mT = (2.0i +3.0j+4.0k)*10^{-3}T for B

                    a = \frac{q}{m} * v (2.0i +3.0j +4.0k)*10^{-3}

      Substituting       3.0 Km /s = 3.0*10^{3}\ m/s  for v  and -6.0 \muC = -6.0*10^{-6} C for q

                     a = \frac{-6.0*10^{-6}}{2.0*10^{-3}} * 3.0*10^{3} *(2i+3j+4k) *10^{-3}

                       a = 0.003 * 3i(2i+3j+4k)

                      a = 0.003 *((3*2)i \ \cdot i \ +(3*3) i \ \cdot \ j  \ + (3*4)i \ \cdot \ k)

According to vector multiplication

                                             i \cdot i = j \cdot j = k\cdot k = 1\\\\and \ i\cdot j = i\cdot k  = 0

     So

               a = 0.003* 6 =0.018\  m/s^2
