A 1.4-kg cart is attached to a horizontal spring for which the spring constant is 50 N/m . The system is set in motion when the

marin [14]

Answer:

A)

0.395 m

B)

2.4 m/s

Explanation:

A)

$m$ = mass of the cart = 1.4 kg

$k$ = spring constant of the spring = 50 Nm⁻¹

$x$ = initial position of spring from equilibrium position = 0.21 m

$v_{i}$ = initial speed of the cart = 2.0 ms⁻¹

$A$ = amplitude of the oscillation = ?

Using conservation of energy

Final spring energy = initial kinetic energy + initial spring energy

$(0.5) kA^{2} = (0.5) m v_{i}^{2} + (0.5) k x_{i}^{2} \\kA^{2} = m v_{i}^{2} + k x_{i}^{2} \\(50) A^{2} = (1.4) (2.0)^{2} + (50) (0.21)^{2} \\A = 0.395 m$

B)

$m$ = mass of the cart = 1.4 kg

$k$ = spring constant of the spring = 50 Nm⁻¹

$A$ = amplitude of the oscillation = 0.395 m

$v_{o}$ = maximum speed at the equilibrium position

Using conservation of energy

Kinetic energy at equilibrium position = maximum spring potential energy at extreme stretch of the spring

$(0.5) m v_{o}^{2} = (0.5) kA^{2}\\m v_{o}^{2} = kA^{2}\\(1.4) v_{o}^{2} = (50) (0.395)^{2}\\v_{o} = 2.4 ms^{-1}$

Four identical particles of mass 0.980 kg each are placed at the vertices of a 4.14 m x 4.14 m square and held there by four mas

Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

a) The rotational inertia when it passes through the midpoints of opposite sides and lies in the plane of the square is 16.8 kg m²

b) I = 50.39 kg m²

c) I = 16.8 kg m²

Explanation:

a) Given data:

m = 0.98 kg

a = 4.14 * 4.14

The moment of inertia is:

$I=mr^{2} \\r=\frac{a}{2} \\I=m(a/2)^{2} \\I=\frac{ma^{2} }{4}$

For 4 particles:

$I=4(\frac{ma^{2} }{4} )=ma^{2} =0.98*(4.14)^{2} =16.8kgm^{2}$

b) Distance from top left mass = x = a/2

Distance from bottom left mass = x = a/2

Distance from top right mass = x = √5 (a/2)

The total moment of inertia is:

$I=m(\frac{a}{2} )^{2} +m(\frac{a}{2} )^{2}+m(\frac{\sqrt{5a} }{2} )^{2}+m(\frac{\sqrt{5a} }{2} )^{2}=\frac{12ma^{2} }{4} =3ma^{2} =3*0.98*(4.14)^{2} =50.39kgm^{2}$

c)

$I=2m(\frac{m}{\sqrt{2} } )^{2} =ma^{2} =0.98*(4.14)^{2} =16.8kgm^{2}$

a roller coaster is at the top of a hill and rolls to the top of a lower hill.If mechanical energy is conserved,on the top of wh

pychu [463]

Hello!!

Here we have a simple matter of conservation of energy. ME=PE+KE.

At point A we have PE=mgh and KE=1/2mv^2. At point A all we have is PE since the coaster isn’t rolling yet. But by conservation of energy, we know that it will have enough energy to roll down and get to and equal height on another hill. Providing we are neglecting friction and drag and resistance forces which we are in this case. So we can conclude that the KE will be greater at Point B since ME=PE+KE and for ME to remain the same and we know the PE is less on lower hill, so we can conclude that KE on lower hill is greater to keep ME the same and have conservation of energy.

Hope this helps you understand the concept!! Any questions please just ask!! Thank you so much!!

The gravitational force of attraction between two students sitting at their desks in physics class is 2.59 × 10−8 N. If one stud

motikmotik

<h2>The distance between students is 2.46 m</h2>

Explanation:

The force of attraction due to Newton's gravitation law is

F = $\frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}$

Here G is the gravitational constant

m₁ is the mass of one student

m₂ is the mass of second student .

and r is the distance between them

Thus r = $\sqrt{\frac{Gm_1m_2}{F} }$

If we substitute the values in the above equation

r = $\sqrt{\frac{6.673x10^-^1^1x31.9x30.0}{2.59x10^-^8} }$

= 2.46 m
