A block with mass m = 0.450 kg is attached to one end of an ideal spring and moves on a horizontal frictionless surface. The oth

er end of the spring is attached to a wall. When the block is at x = +0.240 m, its acceleration is ax = -14.0 m/s2 and its velocity is vx = +4.00 m/s. What is the spring's force constant k?

Answer:

k = 26.25 N/m

Explanation:

given,

mass of the block= 0.450

distance of the block = + 0.240

acceleration = a_x = -14.0 m/s²

velocity = v_x = + 4 m/s

spring force constant (k) = ?

we know,

x = A cos (ωt - ∅).....(1)

v = - ω A cos (ωt - ∅)....(2)

a = ω²A cos (ωt - ∅).........(3)

\omega = \sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}}

now from equation (3)

a_x = \dfrac{k}{m}x

k = \dfrac{m a_x}{x}

k = \dfrac{0.45 \times (-14)}{0.24}

k = 26.25 N/m

hence, spring force constant is equal to k = 26.25 N/m

The spring's force constant is 26.25 N/m

\texttt{ }

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

<em>Hooke's Law states that the length of a spring is directly proportional to the force acting on the spring.</em>

\boxed {F = k \times \Delta x}

<em>F = Force ( N )</em>

<em>k = Spring Constant ( N/m )</em>

<em>Δx = Extension ( m )</em>

\texttt{ }

The formula for finding Young's Modulus is as follows:

\boxed {E = \frac{F / A}{\Delta x / x_o}}

<em>E = Young's Modulus ( N/m² )</em>

<em>F = Force ( N )</em>

<em>A = Cross-Sectional Area ( m² )</em>

<em>Δx = Extension ( m )</em>

<em>x = Initial Length ( m )</em>

Let us now tackle the problem !

\texttt{ }

<u>Given:</u>

mass of block = m = 0.450 kg

extension = x = +0.240 m

acceleration = a_x = -14.0 m/s²

velocity = v_x = +4.00 m/s

<u>Asked:</u>

spring's force constant = k = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

k = m \omega^2

k = m \frac{-a_x}{x}

k = 0.450 \times \frac{ - ( -14.0 ) }{0.240}

\boxed{k = 26.25 \texttt{ N/m}}

Help please!!!
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

Cu 8.92

Explanation:

The formula for density is mass/volume. If you were to divide 62.44 by 7, you would get 8.92. Since copper is the only metal in this table that has a density of 8.92, that is the answer.

At what rate must a cylindrical spaceship rotate if occupants are to experience simulated gravity of 0.50 gg? Assume the spacesh
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

The time needed is T  = 16.8 s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

      The magnitude of the stimulated acceleration due gravity is  a  =  0.5 g

        The diameter of the spaceship is  d =  35m

       

Generally the force acting on the spaceship is  

       F  =  ma

Given that the spaceship is rotating it implies that the force experienced by the occupant is a centripetal force so

      F  = \frac{mv^2}{r}

Thus  

       ma  =  \frac{mv^2}{r}

=>    \frac{v^2}{r}  =  a

      Generally the speed of this spaceship is mathematically represented as

      v =  \frac{2 \pi}{T}

=>    v^2  =   [\frac{2\pi}{T}] ^2

=>     \frac{\frac{4\pi^2 r^2}{T^2} }{r}  = 0.5g

=>       \frac{4 \pi^2 r }{T^2} =  0.5 g

=>         T  = \sqrt{ \frac{4\pi^2 r}{0.5g}}

substituting values

          T  = \sqrt{ \frac{4* (3.142)^2 *(35)}{0.5 * 9.8}}

         T  = 16.8 s

A child sits 1.6 m from the center of a merry go round that makes one complete revolution in 4.7 s. What is his angular accelera
olga2289 [7]

Answer: angular acceleration = 2.86\ rad/sec^{2}

Given:

Distance from center of axis = 1.6 m

Time taken to complete one revolution = 4.7 sec

Therefore, we can evaluate the angular acceleration using the following formula:

\alpha = r\times \omega^{2}

\alpha = r\times (\frac{2\pi}{T})^{2}

\alpha = 1.6\times (\frac{2\times3.14}{4.7})^{2}

\alpha = 2.86\ rad/sec^{2}
