Two pulses move in opposite directions on a string and are identical in shape except that one has positive displacements of the

elements of the string and the other has negative displacements. At the moment the two pulses completely overlap on the string, what happens? (a) The energy associated with the pulses has disappeared. (b) The string is not moving. (c) The string forms a straight line. (d) The pulses have vanished and will not reappear.

(c) When the two pulses completely overlap on the string forms a straight line.

A single disturbance that travels via a transmission medium is referred to as a pulse. This medium might be formed of stuff or a vacuum, and it might be endlessly large or finite in size.

Consider two pulses that are identical in shape and proceed in opposite directions along a string, with the exception that one has positive displacements of the string's elements while the other has negative displacements.

On the string, the two pulses blend together completely.

The pulses completely balance one another out in terms of removing string elements from equilibrium, yet the string still moves. Shortly after the string is once again shifted, the pulses will have passed each other.

The correct option is (c)

A 0.750 kg block is attached to a spring with spring constant 13.0 N/m . While the block is sitting at rest, a student hits it w
trapecia [35]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to energy conservation. From this conservation we will find the magnitude of the amplitude. Later for the second part, we will need to find the period, from which it will be possible to obtain the speed of the body.

A) Conservation of Energy,

KE = PE

\frac{1}{2} mv ^2 = \frac{1}{2} k A^2

Here,

m = Mass

v = Velocity

k = Spring constant

A = Amplitude

Rearranging to find the Amplitude we have,

A = \sqrt{\frac{mv^2}{k}}

Replacing,

A = \sqrt{\frac{(0.750)(31*10^{-2})^2}{13}}

A = 0.0744m

(B) For this part we will begin by applying the concept of Period, this in order to find the speed defined in the mass-spring systems.

The Period is defined as

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}

Replacing,

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{0.750}{13}}

T= 1.509s

Now the velocity is described as,

v = \frac{2\pi}{T} * \sqrt{A^2-x^2}

v = \frac{2\pi}{T} * \sqrt{A^2-0.75A^2}

We have all the values, then replacing,

v = \frac{2\pi}{1.509}\sqrt{(0.0744)^2-(0.750(0.0744))^2}

v = 0.2049m/s

A 90 kg astronaut Travis is stranded in space at a point 12 m from his spaceship. In order to get back to his ship, Travis throw
insens350 [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

This is a recoil problem, which is just another application of the Law of Momentum Conservation. The equation for us is:

[m_av_a+m_ev_e]_b=[m_av_a+m_ev_e]_a which, in words, is

The momentum of the astronaut plus the momentum of the piece of equipment before the equipment is thrown has to be equal to the momentum of all that same stuff after the equipment is thrown. Filling in:

[(90.0)(0)+(.50)(0)]_b=[(90.0)(v)+(.50)(-4.0)]_a

Obviously, on the left side of the equation, nothing is moving so the whole left side equals 0. Doing the math on the right and paying specific attention to the sig fig's here (notice, I added a 0 after the 4 in the velocity value so our sig fig's are 2 instead of just 1. 1 is useless in most applications).

0 = 90.0v - 2.0 and

2.0 = 90.0v so

v = .022 m/s This is the rate at which he is moving TOWARDS the ship (negative was moving away from the ship, as indicated by the - in the problem). Now we can use the d = rt equation to find out how long this process will take him if he wants to reach his ship before he dies.

12 = .022t and

t = 550 seconds, which is the same thing as 9.2 minutes

The data table below shows the distribution of the energies of a pendulum 0.60 s into its motion. What is the missing value?
ohaa [14]
The total energy (also called mechanical energy) is the sum of the kinetic energy and potential energy:
TE = KE + PE
For this pendulum, we see that at t=0.60 s the total energy is TE=0.918 J while the potential energy is 0.054 J, so the kinetic energy (the missing value in the table) is
KE=TE-PE=0.918 J - 0.054 J =0.864 J

1. If the angle of the ramp were increased from 30˙ to 45˙, how would this change the weight of the box? Explain.
yawa3891 [41]

When the angle of the ramp increases, the weight of the box acting perpendicular to the ramp decreases.

<h3>Normal reaction of the box</h3>

The normal reaction of the box is due to weight of the box acting perpendicular to the ramp.

Fn = Wcosθ

<h3>when the angle of the ramp = 30⁰</h3>

Fn = Wcos(30)

Fn = 0.866W

<h3>when the angle of the ramp = 45⁰</h3>

Fn = W x cos(45)

Fn = 0.7071W

Thus, when the angle of the ramp increases, the weight of the box acting perpendicular to the ramp decreases.

A force F1 of magnitude 4.80 units acts on an object at the origin in a direction = 27.0° above the positive x-axis. (See the fi
Sveta_85 [38]

We will determine the magnitude of the final component as follows:

\begin{gathered} m=\sqrt{(5cos(27))^2+(5sin(27)+4.8)^2}\Rightarrow m=8.356527029... \\  \\ \Rightarrow m\approx8.36 \end{gathered}

So, the magnitude is approximately 8.36.

And the direction will be approximately 57.8° counter-clockwise.

This can be seeing as follows:
