A 2.0-kg block sliding on a frictionless, horizontal surface is attached to one end of a horizontal spring (k = 600 N/m) which h

as its other end fixed. The speed of the block when the spring is extended 20 cm is equal to 3.0 m/s. What is the maximum speed of this block as it oscillates?

Answer:

Maximum speed of the block, v_{max} = 4.58 m/s

Explanation:

Mass of the block, m = 2.0 kg

Spring constant, k = 600 N/m

Spring extension, x = 20 cm = 0.2 m

Speed of the block due to the extension, v = 3.0 m/s

First, Potential energy, PE stored in the spring:

PE = 0.5 kx²

PE = 0.5 * 600 * 0.2²

PE = 12 J

Calculate the kinetic energy of the block due to the extension:

KE_x = 0.5 mv^2\\KE_x = 0.5 * 2 * 3^2\\KE_x = 9 J

The maximum Kinetic Energy of the block will be:

KE_{max} = 0.5 m v_{max}^2\\KE_{max} = 0.5 * 2 * v_{max}^2\\KE_{max} =  v_{max}^2

KE_{max} = KE_x + PE\\v_{max}^2 = 9 + 12\\ v_{max}^2 = 21\\ v_{max} = \sqrt{21} \\ v_{max} = 4.58 m/s

What is one characteristic of a sample of matter that indicates it is a pure substance? A) It can be separated using by a physic
snow_lady [41]

D) If the composition of a sample is fixed, the sample is a pure substance.

Explanation:

A) It can be separated by using physical means, such as filtering.

Of course using physical means as filtration or crystallization we increase the purity of a compound, however sometimes impurities may remain dissolved in the solution or they may co-precipitate with the analysed sample.

B) The components in a pure substance do not have to be in definite ratios.

If the components in a substance do not have definite rations it means the the substance is not pure, it is a mixture of something.

C) If the composition of a sample varies, the sample is a pure substance.

If the composition of a sample varies, it means that different components in the substance are changing so it is a clue that the substance is not pure.

D) If the composition of a sample is fixed, the sample is a pure substance.

If the composition of a sample is fixed, and it can be determined and proven, the substance is pure.

An oscillator consists of a block attached to a spring (k = 427 N/m). At some time t, the position (measured from the system's e
White raven [17]

Answer:

a) 4.49Hz

b) 0.536kg

c) 2.57s

Explanation:

This problem can be solved by using the equation for he position and velocity of an object in a mass-string system:

x=Acos(\omega t)\\\\v=-\omega Asin(\omega t)\\\\a=-\omega^2Acos(\omega t)

for some time t you have:

x=0.134m

v=-12.1m/s

a=-107m/s^2

If you divide the first equation and the third equation, you can calculate w:

\frac{x}{a}=\frac{Acos(\omega t)}{-\omega^2 Acos(\omega t)}\\\\\omega=\sqrt{-\frac{a}{x}}=\sqrt{-\frac{-107m/s^2}{0.134m}}=28.25\frac{rad}{s}

with this value you can compute the frequency:

a)

f=\frac{\omega}{2\pi}=\frac{28.25rad/s}{2\pi}=4.49Hz

b)

the mass of the block is given by the formula:

f=\frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}\\\\m=\frac{k}{4\pi^2f^2}=\frac{427N/m}{(4\pi^2)(4.49Hz)^2}=0.536kg

c) to find the amplitude of the motion you need to know the time t. This can computed by dividing the equation for v with the equation for x and taking the arctan:

\frac{v}{x}=-\omega tan(\omega t)\\\\t=\frac{1}{\omega}arctan(-\frac{v}{x\omega })=\frac{1}{28.25rad/s}arctan(-\frac{-12.1m/s}{(0.134m)(28.25rad/s)})=2.57s

Finally, the amplitude is:

x=Acos(\omega t)\\\\A=\frac{0.134m}{cos(28.25rad/s*2.57s )}=0.45m

Determine the amount of work done by the applied force when a 87 N force is applied to move a 15 kg object a horizontal
elena-s [515]

Answer:

391.5 J

Explanation:

The amount of work done can be calculated using the formula:

  • W = F║d
  • where the force is parallel to the displacement

Looking at the formula, we can see that the mass of the object does not affect the work done on it.

Substitute the force applied and the displacement of the object into the equation.

  • W = (87 N)(4.5 m)
  • W = 391.5 J  

The amount of work done on the object is 391.5 J in order to move it 4.5 meters with an applied force of 87 Newtons.

A 12.8-kg monkey hangs from a cord suspended from the ceiling of an elevator. The cord can withstand a tension of 156N and break
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

2.4 m/s^2

Downward

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of monkey=12.8 kg

Tension=156 N

We have to find the magnitude of the elevator's minimum acceleration.

T=m(g+a)

Where g=9.8 m/s^2

Substitute the values

156=12.8(a+9.8)

9.8+a=\frac{156}{12.8}=12.2

a=12.2-9.8=2.4 m/s^2

Hence, the acceleration =a=2.4 m/s^2

Direction of the elevator's minimum acceleration is downward because the elevator moves downwards.
