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

<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 !

<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>

$k = m \omega^2$

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

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

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

Jane, looking for tarzan, is running at top speed (6.8 m/s) and grabs a vine hanging vertically from a tall tree in the jungle.

erica [24]

Jane's mechanical energy at any time is
$E=U+K$
where $U=mgh$ is the potential energy, while $K= \frac{1}{2} mv^2$ is the kinetic energy.

Initially, Jane is on the ground, so the altitude is h=0 and the potential energy is zero: U=0. She's running with speed v, so she has kinetic energy only:
$E=K= \frac{1}{2} mv^2$
Then she grabs the vine, and when she reaches the maximum height h, her speed is zero: v=0, and so the kinetic energy becomes zero: K=0. So now her mechanical energy is just potential energy:
$E=U=mgh$

But E must be conserved, so the initial kinetic energy must be equal to the final potential energy:
$\frac{1}{2}mv^2=mgh$
from which we can find h, the maximum height Jane can reach:
$h= \frac{v^2}{2g}= \frac{(6.8 m/s)^2}{2\cdot 9.81 m/s^2}=2.36 m$

An electron in a hydrogen atom is in a p state. Which of the following statements is true?

zhenek [66]

Answer:

The electron’s wavefunction has at least one node (i.e., at least one place in space where it goes to zero).

Explanation:

We know that the p-orbitals have nodes. A node is a region where the probability of finding an electron goes down to zero.

P orbitals are oriented along the x,y,z Cartesian axes and are known to have angular nodes along the axes.

Hence, if an electron in a hydrogen atom is in a p state, the electron’s wavefunction has at least one node

A solid cylindrical object has a mass of 2.0 kg, a diameter

omeli [17]

Answer:

I = 0.0025 kg.m²

Explanation:

Given that

m= 2 kg

Diameter ,d= 0.1 m

Radius , $R=\dfrac{d}{2}$

$R=\dfrac{0.1}{2}$

R=0.05 m

The moment of inertia of the cylinder about it's axis same as the disc and it is given as

$I=\dfrac{mR^2}{2}$

Now by putting the all values

$I=\dfrac{2\times 0.05^2}{2}$

I = 0.0025 kg.m²

Therefore we can say that the moment of inertia of the cylinder will be 0.0025 kg.m².

After polishing his 2-kg wrestling trophy, Mike sets it down on the ground and walks away to find more polish. Meanwhile, Julie

klio [65]

1) The initial momentum of the trophy is zero

2) The initial momentum of the bowling ball is 160 kg m/s

3) The total momentum before the collision is 160 kg m/s

4) The total momentum of the system after the collision is 160 kg m/s

5) The final velocity of the trophy is 32 m/s

Explanation:

1)

The momentum of an object is given by

$p=mv$

where

m is the mass of the object

v is its velocity

In this problem, the data for the trophy before the collision are:

m = 2 kg is the mass

v = 0 is its initial velocity

Therefore, the initial momentum of the trophy is

$p_1=(2)(0)=0$

2)

Using the same equation used in part 1), the initial momentum of the bowling ball is

$p=mv$

where

m is the mass of the bowling ball

v is its initial velocity

The data of the problem are

m = 8 kg is the mass

v = 20 m/s is the velocity

Substituting,

$p_2=(8)(20)=160 kg m/s$

3)

The total momentum of the system before the collision is given by the sum between the initial momentum of the trophy and the initial momentum of the bowling ball:

$p_i = p_1 + p_2$

where

$p_1$ is the initial momentum of the trophy

$p_2$ is the initial momentum of the ball

Here we have

$p_1 = 0$

$p_2 = 160 kg m/s$

Therefore, the total momentum is

$p_i = 0 + 160 = 160 kg m/s$

4)

According to the law of conservation of momentum, for an isolated system (=no external unbalanced forces acting on the system), the total momentum of the system is conserved before and after the collision:

$p_i = p_f$

where

$p_i$ is the total momentum before the collision

$p_f$ is the total momentum after the collision

If we consider the system in the problem to be isolated (i.e. no frictional forces acting on the ball or the trophy), we can therefore say that the total momentum after the collision must be equal to the total momentum before the collision: therefore,

$p_f = 160 kg m/s$

5)

We can write the total momentum after the collision as

$p_f = m_1 v_1 + m_2 v_2$

where:

$m_1 = 2 kg$ is the mass of the trophy

$v_1$ is the final velocity of the trophy

$m_2 = 8 kg$ is the mass of the bowling ball

$v_2 = 12 m/s$ is the final velocity of the ball

Since we also know the value of the final total momentum,

$p_f = 160 kg m/s$

we can solve the equation to find the velocity of the trophy:

$v_1 = \frac{p_f - m_2 v_2 }{m_1}=\frac{160-(8)(12)}{2}=32 m/s$
