In the first case, the force acting on the spring is the weight of the mass:
F=mg=(2.0 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=19.6N
This force causes a stretching of x=6.4 cm=0.064 m on the spring, so we can use these data to find the spring constant:
k= \frac{F}{x}= \frac{19.6 N}{0.064 m}=306.3 N/m

In the second case, the first mass is replaced with a second mass, whose weight is
F=mg=(2.5 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=24.5 N
And since we know the spring constant, we can calculate the new elongation of the spring:
x= \frac{F}{k}= \frac{24.5 N}{306.3 N/m}=0.080 m=8.0 cm

Ryan swings a pail of water in a vertical circle 1.0 m in radius at a constant speed. If the water is NOT to spill on him:
nexus9112 [7]

Part 1

If water does not spill at the top point of the circular motion then for the minimum speed condition we can say normal force will be zero at the top position

F_g = ma

mg = m\frac{v^2}{R}

g = \frac{v^2}{R}

v = \sqrt{Rg}

given that

R = 1 m

g = 9.8 m/s^2

now from above equation we have

v = \sqrt{1(9.8)} = 3.13 m/s

Part b)

for minimum value of angular speed we will have

\omega = \frac{v}{R}

\omega = \frac{3.13}{1}

\omega = 3.13 rad/s

What is the marble's range if it is fired horizontally from 1.6 m above the ground?
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

The answer is 6.40 meters.

Explanation:

The speed v = √(2gh)

v = √( 2×9.8×6.4) = 11.2 m/s

After, finding the time it takes to hit the ground from a height of 1.6 meters.

time = √(2H÷g)

time = √(2×1.6÷9.8)

time = 0.5714 seconds.

Horizontal distance is speed × time = 11.2 × 0.5714 = 6.40 meters.

Potential energy is an object’s stored energy when it is not moving. Kinetic energy is an object’s energy in motion. You can’t be both moving and not moving at the same time, so PE and KE cannot be equal.

A marble rolls 269cm across the floor with a constant speed of in 44.1cm/s.
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

t = 6.09 seconds

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed, v = 44.1 cm/s

Distance, d = 269 cm

We need to find the time interval of the marble. Speed is distance per unit time.

v=\dfrac{d}{t}\\\\\implies t=\dfrac{d}{v}\\\\t=\dfrac{269\ \text{cm}}{44.1\ \text{cm/s}}\\\\t=6.09\ s

Hence, the time interval of the marble is 6.09 seconds.
