Increasing the mass attached to a spring will increase its vibrational period.

1 answer:

8 0

Increasing the mass attached to a spring will increase it's vibrational period - this is true. Imagine placing an elephant at the end of a bungee cord vs an apple, the apple will recoil faster than the elephant.

a person dives off the edge of aa cliff 33m above the surface of the sea. assuming that air resistance is negligible, how long d

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

The time is $t = 2.595 \ s$

The speed is $v = 25.43 \ m/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The height of the cliff is $h = 33 \ m$

Generally from kinematic equation we have that

$h = ut + \frac{1}{2} gt^2$

before the jump the persons initial velocity is u = 0 m/s

$33 = 0 * t + \frac{1}{2} 9.8 * t^2$

=> $t = 2.595 \ s$

Generally from kinematic equation

$v= u + gt$

=> $v= 0 + 9.8 * 2.595$

=> $v = 25.43 \ m/s$

1. A DC-10 jumbo jet maintains an airspeed of 550 mph in a southwesterly direction. The velocity of the jet stream is a constant

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

The magnitude of actual velocity is <u>496.67 mph</u> and its direction is <u>51.54° with the x axis in the third quadrant</u>.

Explanation:

Given:

Speed of jumbo jet in southwesterly direction $(v_j)$ = 550 mph

Velocity of jet stream from west to east direction $(v_s)=80\ mph$

First let us draw a vectorial representation of the above velocity vectors.

Consider the south direction as negative y axis and west direction as negative x axis.

From the diagram,

The velocity of the jet can be represented as:

$\vec{v_j}=-550\cos(45)\vec{i}+(-550\sin(45)\vec{j} )\\\\\vec{v_j}=-388.91\vec{i}-388.91\vec{j}\ mph$

Similarly, the velocity of the stream is, $\vec{v_s}=80\vec{i}$

Now, the vector sum of the above two vectors gives the actual velocity of the aircraft. So, the resultant velocity is given as:

$\vec{v}=\vec{v_j}+\vec{v_s}\\\\\vec{v}=-388.91\vec{i}-388.91\vec{j}+80\vec{i}\\\\\vec{v}=(-388.91+80)\vec{i}-388.91\vec{j}\\\\\vec{v}=(-308.91)\vec{i}-388.91\vec{j}$

Now, magnitude is given as the square root of sum of the squares of the 'i' and 'j' components. So,

$|\vec{v}|=\sqrt{(-308.91)^2+(-388.91)^2}\\\\|\vec{v}|=496.67\ mph$

As the horizontal and vertical components of actual velocity negative, the resultant vector makes an angle $\theta$ with the x axis in the third quadrant.

The direction is given as:

$\theta=\tan^{-1}(\frac{v_y}{v_x})\\\\\theta=\tan^{-1}(\frac{-388.91}{-308.91})\\\\\theta=51.54\°(Third\ quadrant)$

Therefore, the magnitude of actual velocity is 496.67 mph and its direction is 51.54° with the x axis in the third quadrant.
