A 0.950 kg block is attached to a spring with spring constant 16.0 N/m . While the block is sitting at rest, a student hits it w

ith a hammer and almost instantaneously gives it a speed of 36.0 cm/s .
What is the amplitude of the subsequent oscillations?
What is the block's speed at the point where x= 0.70 A?

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass attached m = 0.95kg

Spring constant k = 16N/m

Instantaneous speed v = 36cm/s = 0.36m/s

Amplitude A=?

When x = 0.7A

Using conservation of energy

∆K.E + ∆P.E = 0

K.E(final) — K.E(initial) + P.E(final) — P.E(initial) = 0

At the beginning immediately the hammer hits the mass, the potential energy is 0J, Therefore, P.E(initial) = 0J, so the speed is maximum.

Also, at the end, at maximum displacement, the speed is zero, therefore, K.E(final) = 0

So, the equation becomes

— K.E(initial) + P.E(final) = 0

K.E(initial) = P.E(final)

½mv² = ½kA²

mv² = kA²

0.95 × 0.36² = 16×A²

0.12312 = 16•A²

A² = 0.12312/16

A² = 0.007695

A = √0.007695

A = 0.088 m

A = 8.8cm

B. Speed at x = 0.7A

Using the same principle above

K.E(initial) = P.E(final)

½mv² = ½kA²

Where A = 0.7A = 0.7 × 0.088 = 0.0614m

Then,

½× 0.95 × v² = ½ × 16 × 0.0614²

0.475v² = 0.0310644

v² = 0.0310644/0.475

v² = 0.0635

v = √0.0635

v = 0.252 m/s

v = 25.2 cm/s

A 103 kg physics professor has fallen into the Grand Canyon. Luckily, he managed to grab a branch and is now hanging 93 m below
siniylev [52]

Answer:

125.83672 seconds

Explanation:

P = Power of the horse = 1 hp = 746 W (as it is not given we have assumed the horse has the power of 1 hp)

m = Mass of professor = 103 kg

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

h = Height of professor = 93 m

Work done would be equal to the potential energy

W=mgh\\\Rightarrow W=103\times 9.8\times 93\\\Rightarrow W=93874.2\ J

Power is given by

P=\frac{W}{t}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{W}{P}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{93874.2}{746}\\\Rightarrow t=125.83672\ seconds

The time taken by the horse to pull the professor is 125.83672 seconds

What are the dimensions of potential energy?​
Pachacha [2.7K]

Potential Energy (P.E) = Mass x

Acceleration due to Gravity x Altitude. Putting this value in the above equation we get, Dimensional Formula of

Potential energy= M1L2T-2.
