Discuss how the hardness or softness of the landing surface is related to the time required to stop the egg

Physics
1 answer:
monitta3 years ago
3 0

Answer

To understand this concept it is necessary to understand Newton's Second Law

According to Newtons Second law applied force is equal to rate of change of momentum of a body.

Mathematically,

F=\frac{dp}{dt}

here, \frac{dp}{dt} is rate of change of momentum with respect to time

It means If two eggs fall from same height,one on softer surface and other on hard surface that time the momentum of both eggs will remain equal at both the surfaces. But, impact time will be different. On hard surface egg will stop almost instantly so impact time will be small and hence the force on egg will be large therefore the egg will breakup.

On the other hand on the soft surface like a cotton, egg will not stop instantly but it will slow down for a few seconds and then stop due to which the time of impact will increase. Therefore the force on egg will be less and it won't break up.

You attach a 1.10 kg block to a horizontal spring that is fixed at one end. You pull the block until the spring is stretched by
dangina [55]

Answer:

6.3 m/s

Explanation:

m = mass of the block = 1.10 kg

k = spring constant of the spring

x = stretch in the spring = 0.2 m

t = time taken by block to come to zero speed first time = 0.100 s

T = Time period of oscillation

Time period of oscillation is given as

T = 2t

T = 2 (0.1)

T = 0.2 s

Time period is also given as

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}

0.2 = 2(3.14) \sqrt{\frac{1.10}{k}}

k = 1084.6 N/m

v = maximum speed of the block

using conservation of energy

Maximum kinetic energy = Maximum spring potential energy

(0.5) m v² = (0.5) k x²

m v² = k x²

(1.10) v² = (1084.6) (0.2)²

v = 6.3 m/s

_________ is a change in the position of a body with respect to time relative to a reference point.
rjkz [21]

Answer:

Rest

Explanation:

Rest is a change in the position of a body with respect to time relative to a reference point. The stationary state of an object or body relative to a reference position or another object is called Rest.

Taking Newton's First Law of motion into consideration, an object will remain in its state of rest or uniform motion until acted upon by an external force. This implies an object at rest is an object with zero (without) velocity and acceleration.
