(a) 0.456 m/s

The maximum speed of the oscillating mass can be found by using the conservation of energy. In fact:

- At the point of maximum displacement, the mechanical energy of the system is just elastic potential energy:

E=U=\frac{1}{2}kA^2 (1)

where

k = 34.9 N/m is the spring constant

A = 5.0 cm = 0.05 m is the amplitude of the oscillation

- At the point of equilibrium, the displacement is zero, so all the mechanical energy of the system is just kinetic energy:

E=K=\frac{1}{2}mv_{max}^2 (2)

where

m = 0.42 kg is the mass

vmax is the maximum speed, which is maximum when the mass passes the equilibrium position

Since the mechanical energy is conserved, we can write (1) = (2):

\frac{1}{2}kA^2=\frac{1}{2}mv_{max}^2\\v_{max}=\sqrt{\frac{kA^2}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{(34.9 N/m)(0.05 m)^2}{0.42 kg}}=0.456 m/s

(b) 0.437 m/s

When the spring is compressed by x = 1.5 cm = 0.015 m, the equation for the conservation of energy becomes:

E=\frac{1}{2}kx^2+\frac{1}{2}mv^2 (3)

where the total mechanical energy can be calculated at the point where the displacement is maximum (x = A = 0.05 m):

E=\frac{1}{2}kA^2=\frac{1}{2}(34.9 N/m)(0.05 m)^2=0.044 J

So, solving (3) for v, we find the speed when x=1.5 cm:

v=\sqrt{\frac{2E-kx^2}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(0.044 J)-(34.9 N/m)(0.015 m)^2}{0.42 kg}}=0.437 m/s

(c) 0.437 m/s

This part of the problem is exactly identical to part b), since the displacement of the mass is still

x = 1.5 cm = 0.015 m

So, the speed when this is the displacement is

v=\sqrt{\frac{2E-kx^2}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(0.044 J)-(34.9 N/m)(0.015 m)^2}{0.42 kg}}=0.437 m/s

(d) 4.4 cm

In this case, we have that the speed of the mass is 1/2 of the maximum value, so:

v=\frac{v_{max}}{2}=\frac{0.456 m/s}{2}=0.228 m/s

And by using the conservation of energy again, we can find the corresponding value of the displacement x:

E=\frac{1}{2}kx^2+\frac{1}{2}mv^2\\x=\sqrt{\frac{2E-mv^2}{k}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(0.044 J)-(0.42 kg)(0.228 m/s)^2}{34.9 N/m}}=0.044 m=4.4 cm

While running at a constant velocity, how should you throw a ball with respect to you so that you can catch it yourself?
timurjin [86]
You are running at constant velocity in the x direction, and based on the 2D definition of projectile motion, Vx=Vxo. In other words, your velocity in the x direction is equal to the starting velocity in the x direction. Let's say the total distance in the x direction that you run to catch your own ball is D (assuming you have actual values for Vx and D). You can then use the range equation, D= (2VoxVoy)/g, to find the initial y velocity, Voy. g is gravitational acceleration, -9.8m/s^2. Now you know how far to run (D), where you will catch the ball (xo+D), and the initial x and y velocities you should be throwing the ball at, but to find the initial velocity vector itself (x and y are only the components), you use the pythagorean theorem to solve for the hypotenuse. Because you know all three sides of the triangle, you can also solve for the angle you should throw the ball at, as that is simply arctan(y/x).

An emf is induced in a conducting loop of wire 1.22 m long as its shape is changed from square to circular. Find the average mag
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

The induced emf in the loop is 7.35\times 10^{-4}\ V

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of the wire, L = 1.22 m

It changes its shape is changed from square to circular. Then the side of square be its circumference, 4a = L

4a = 1.22

a = 0.305 m

Area of square, A=a^2=(0.305)^2=0.0930\ m^2

Circumference of the loop,

C=2\pi r=L\\\\r=\dfrac{L}{2\pi}\\\\r=\dfrac{1.22}{2\pi}=0.194\ m

Area of circle,

A'=\pi r^2\\A'=\pi (0.194)^2\\\\A'=0.118\ m^2

The induced emf is given by :

\epsilon=\dfrac{\d\phi}{dt}\\\\\epsilon=\dfrac{\d(BA)}{dt}\\\\\epsilon=B\dfrac{A'-A}{t}\\\\\epsilon=0.125 \times \dfrac{0.118-0.0930}{4.25}\\\\\epsilon=7.35\times 10^{-4}\ V

So, the induced emf in the loop is 7.35\times 10^{-4}\ V

A firecracker in a coconut blows the coconut into three pieces. Two pieces of equal mass fly off south and west, perpendicular t
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

v=12.5 i + 12.5 j m/s

Explanation:

Given that

m₁=m₂ = m

m₃ = 2 m

Given that speed of the two pieces

u₁=- 25 j m/s

u₂ =- 25 i m/s

Lets take the speed of the third mass = v m/s

From linear momentum conservation

Pi= Pf

0 = m₁u₁+m₂u₂ + m₃ v

0 = -25 j m  - 25 i m + 2 m v

2 v=25 j   + 25 i m/s

v=12.5 i + 12.5 j m/s

Therefore the speed of the third mass will be v=12.5 i + 12.5 j m/s

Match each statement with the characteristic of scientists.
Dimas [21]

Answer:

Options B, A, D, C

Explanation:

When a scientists, let's say Roberto wonders if the presence of other elements also affects the color of a flame, he can decide to prove this through a study. Therefore, in chemistry class, Roberto sees that traces of lithium makes a flame appear bright red. Subsequently, Roberto designs an experiment to test flame color in the presence of different elements and finally Roberto's friend tells him the color of a flame cannot be changed, but Roberto is still unsure.

Describe the valence electrons in nitrogen and how it could bond to other atoms?
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

Each nitrogen molecule consists of two atoms of nitrogen that are bonded by a triple covalent bond. This is because each nitrogen atom has 5 valence electrons. Each atom can complete its octet by sharing three electrons.

I hope this helps!
