A mass free to vibrate on a level, frictionless surface at the end of a horizontal spring is pulled 35 cm from its equilibrium p

osition and released. At an instant 0.12 s later, its displacement has decreased to 15 cm, without the mass having passed through equilibrium. Calculate the period. (Answer: 0.67 s).

Answer:

0.67 s

Explanation:

This is a simple harmonic motion (SHM).

The displacement, x, of an SHM is given by

x = A\cos(\omega t)

A is the amplitude and \omega is the angular frequency.

We could use a sine function, in which case we will include a phase angle, to indicate that the oscillation began from a non-equilibrium point. We are using the cosine function for this particular case because the oscillation began from an extreme end, which is one-quarter of a single oscillation, when measured from the equilibrium point. One-quarter of an oscillation corresponds to a phase angle of 90° or \frac{\pi}{4} radian.

From trigonometry, \sin A =\cos B if A and B are complementary.

At t = 0, x = 3.5

3.5 = A\cos(\omega \times0)

A =3.5

So

x = 3.5\cos(\omega t)

At t = 0.12, x = 1.5

1.5 = 3.5\cos(0.12\omega)

\cos(0.12\omega)=\dfrac{1.5}{3.5}=0.4286

0.12\omega =\cos^{-1}0.4286

0.12\omega = 1.13

\omega = 9.4

The period, T, is related to \omega by

T = \dfrac{2\pi}{\omega} = \dfrac{2\times3.14}{9.4}=0.67

A roller coaster speeds up with constant acceleration for 2.3 s until it reaches a velocity of 35 m/s. During this time, the rol
Arada [10]

The initial velocity is 0.65 m/s

Explanation:

The motion of the roller coaster is a uniformly accelerated motion, so we can solve the problem by using the following suvat equation:

s=(\frac{u+v}{2})t

where

s is the displacement

u is the initial velocity

v is the final velocity

t is the time

For the roller coaster in this problem:

v = 35 m/s

t = 2.3 s

s = 41 m

Solving the equation for u, we find the initial velocity:

u=\frac{2s}{t}-v=\frac{2(41)}{2.3}-35=0.65 m/s

There is a moon orbiting an Earth-like planet. The mass of the moon is 9.58 × 1022 kg, the center-to-center separation of the pl
kaheart [24]

Answer:

= 4.38 × 10³⁴kgm²/s

Explanation:

Given that,

mass of moon m = 9.5 × 10²²kg

Orbital radius r = 4.28  × 10⁵km

Orbital period  T = 28.9days

T = 28.9  × 24 × 60 × 60

   = 2,496,960s

Angular momentum of the moon about the planet

L = mvr

L = mr²w

L = mr^2\frac{2\pi }{T} \\\\L = \frac{9.5 \times 10^2^2 \times(4.28\times10^8)^2\times2\times3.14}{2496960} \\\\L = 4.389.5 \times 10^3^4kgm^2/s
