Answer:
a) 0.28 m or 28 cm is the minimum height above ground the fish reaches.
b) at the height of 0.484 m height , the pufferfish will eventually come to rest.
c) There exists two types of energy remain at the equilibrium point in the system. These are :
Gravitational potential energy = 23.72J
Spring potential energy = 0.384 J
Explanation:
Given that :
Mass of the pufferfish m =5kg
initial height of the fish h =5.5m
length of the spring l =0.5m
Spring constant K =3000N/m
a)
Assuming no energy loss to friction, what is the minimum height above the ground that the pufferfish reaches?
Lets assume that the minimum height the fish reaches is = x meters
Now by using the conservation of energy; we realize that :
Initial total energy = final total energy
Gravitational potential energy =
Gravitational potential energy' + Spring potential energy (kinetic energy is zero in both cases)
Replacing our given values into the above equation; we have :
269.5 = 47.5 x + 1500(0.5 -x )²
269.5 = 47.5 x + 1500(0.25 - x²)
269.5 = 47.5 x + 375 - 1500 x²
269.5 - 375 = 47.5 x - 1500 x²
-105.5 = 47.5 x - 1500 x²
-105.5 + 1500 x² - 47.5 x = 0
1500 x² - 47.5 x - 105.5 = 0
By using quadratic equation and taking the positive value;
x = 0.28 m or 28 cm is the minimum height above ground the fish reaches.
b)
At the equilibrium position the weight of fish will be equal to the force applied by the spring thus
mg = kx
substituting our given values ; we have:
(5)(9.8) = 3000x
x = 61.22
x = 0.016m : so this is the compression in the spring
Now; to determine the height the pufferfish gets to before it eventually come to rest; we have
(0.5-0.016) m = 0.484m
therefore, at the height of 0.484 m height , the pufferfish will eventually come to rest.
c)
There exists two types of energy remain at the equilibrium point in the system. These are :
Gravitational potential energy = mgh' = (5)(9.8)(0.484)
= 23.72J
and spring potential energy
Answer:
No the given statement is not necessarily true.
Explanation:
We know that the kinetic energy of a particle of mass 'm' moving with velocity 'v' is given by
Similarly the momentum is given by
For 2 particles with masses and moving with velocities
respectively the respective kinetic energies is given by
Similarly For 2 particles with masses and moving with velocities
respectively the respective momenta are given by
Now since it is given that the two kinetic energies are equal thus we have
Thus we infer that the moumenta are not equal since the ratio on right of 'i' is not 1 , and can be 1 only if the velocities of the 2 particles are equal which becomes a special case and not a general case.
