Where in the motion is the magnitude of the force from the spring on the object zero? Where in the motion is the magnitude of th

kkurt [141]

Answer:

1. The magnitude of the force from the spring on the object is zero on Equilibrium.

2. The magnitude of the force from the spring on the object is a maximum on The top and bottom.

3. The magnitude of the net force on the object is zero on The Bottom.

4. The magnitude of the force on the object is a maximum on the Top.

Explanation:

1. Because the change in position delta X is zero.

2. Because of delta X.

3. Beacuse, the force of gravity and the force of the spring oppose each other to keep the block at rest, away from the equilibrium position.

4. Because, the force of the spring from compressiom and the force of gravity both act on the mass.

FIGURE 2 shows a 1.5 kg block is hung by a light string which is wound around a smooth pulley of radius 20 cm. The moment of ine

Sindrei [870]

Answer:

At t = 4.2 s

Angular velocity: 6. 17 rad /s

The number of revolutions: 2.06

Explanation:

First, we consider all the forces acting on the pulley.

There is only one force acting on the pulley, and that is due to the 1.5 kg mass attached to it.

Therefore, the torque on the pulley is

$\tau=Fd=mg\cdot R$

where m is the mass of the block, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and R is the radius of the pulley.

Now we also know that the torque is related to angular acceleration α by

$\tau=I\alpha$

therefore, equating this to the above equation gives

$mg\cdot R=I\alpha$

solving for alpha gives

$\alpha=\frac{mgR}{I}$

Now putting in m = 1.5 kg, g = 9.8 m/s^2, R = 20 cm = 0.20 m, and I = 2 kg m^2 gives

$\alpha=\frac{1.5\cdot9.8\cdot0.20}{2}$ $\boxed{\alpha=1.47s^{-2}}$

Now that we have the value of the angular acceleration in hand, we can use the kinematics equations for the rotational motion to find the angular velocity and the number of revolutions at t = 4.2 s.

The first kinematic equation we use is

$\theta=\theta_0+\omega_0t+\frac{1}{2}\alpha t^2$

since the pulley starts from rest ω0 = 0 and theta = 0; therefore, we have

$\theta=\frac{1}{2}\alpha t^2$

Therefore, ar t = 4.2 s, the above gives

$\theta=\frac{1}{2}(1.47)(4.2)^2$

$\boxed{\theta=12.97}$

So how many revolutions is this?

To find out we just divide by 2 pi:

$\#\text{rev}=\frac{\theta}{2\pi}=\frac{12.97}{2\pi}$ $\boxed{\#\text{rev}=2.06}$

Or about 2 revolutions.

Now to find the angular velocity at t = 4.2 s, we use another rotational kinematics equation:

$\omega^2=w^2_0+2\alpha(\Delta\theta)_{}$

Since the pulley starts from rest, ω0 = 0. The change in angle Δθ we calculated above is 12.97. The value of alpha we already know to be 1.47; therefore, the above becomes:

$\omega^2=0+2(1.47)(12.97)$ $w^2=38.12$ $\boxed{\omega=6.17.}$

Hence, the angular velocity at t = 4.2 w is 6. 17 rad / s

To summerise:

at t = 4.2 s

Angular velocity: 6. 17 rad /s

The number of revolutions: 2.06

What is the acceleration of a ball traveling horizontally with an initial velocity of 20 meters/second and, 2.0 seconds later, a

Nutka1998 [239]

The acceleration of the ball is 5 m/s^2. This can be calculated using a formula that relates the change in velocity, acceleration, and time. This formula is:

Vf = Vi + at

where:
Vf = final velocity
Vi = initial velocity
a = acceleration
t = time

Substituting the values gives:

30 = 20 + a(2)
a = 5 m/s^2 --> Final Answer

What measures the amount of displacement in a transverse wave

MAVERICK [17]

Unlike a longitudinal wave, a transverse wave moves about, perpendicular to the direction of propagation. The particles in a transverse wave do not travel along the direction of propagation, but only oscillate up and down on its equilibrium position. With this, the displacement can be determined by measuring (in the case of electronic waves, using an oscilloscope or spectrum analyzer) and setting the desired units to measure the wave in.
