A 0.5 kg air-track car is attached to the end of a horizontal spring of constant k = 20 N/m. The car is displaced 15 cm from its

equilibrium point and released.
a) What is the car's maximum speed? b) What is the car's maximum acceleration? c) What is the frequency f of the car's oscillation?
I need help please. What equations should I use for each problems?

Find the amount of work that the spring does. This can be found using the equation 1/2kx^2. Then, you must set that equal to the amount of kinetic energy the car has. This is possible thanks to the work-energy theorem.

1/2kx^2 = 1/2mv^2

Solve to find velocity. Remember, the spring is displaced .15 m, not 15!

To find the acceleration, use F = ma. The force being applied to the car is kx, and you know the mass. You do the math.

For problem C I don't know, haven't done that yet in my class. Sorry!

Burka [1]

Solution :

a). B at the center :

     $=\frac{u\times I}{2R}$

Here, one of the current is in the clockwise direction and therefore, the other current must be in the clockwise direction in order to cancel out the effect of the magnetic field that is produced by the other.

Therefore, the answer is ANTICLOCKWISE or COUNTERCLOCKWISE

b). Also, the sum of the fields must be zero.

Therefore,

$\left(\frac{u\times I_1}{2R_1}\right) + \left(\frac{u\times I_2}{2R_2}\right) = 0$

So,

$\frac{I_1}{d_1}= \frac{I_2}{d_2}$

$=\frac{16}{21}=\frac{I_2}{32}$

$I_2=24.38 $ A

Therefore, the current in the outer wire is 24.38 ampere.

Suppose a car of mass m is moving at a constant speed v of
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

The angle of banked curve that makes the reliance on friction unnecessary is

\arcsin(v^2/(gR))

Explanation:

In order the car to stay on the curve without friction, the net force in the direction of radius should be equal or smaller than the centripetal force. Otherwise the car could slide off the curve.

The only force in the direction of radius is the sine component of the weight of the car

w_r = mg\sin(\theta)

The cosine component is equivalent to the normal force, which we will not be using since friction is unnecessary.

Newton’s Second Law states that

F_{net} = ma = mg\sin(\theta)\\\sin(\theta) = a/g

Also, the car is making a circular motion:

a = \frac{v^2}{R}

Combining the equations:

\sin(\theta) = \frac{a}{g} = \frac{v^2/R}{g} = \frac{v^2}{gR}

Finally the angle is

\arcsin(v^2/(gR))

Can a average velocity be zero.Why? ​
marishachu [46]

<u>Answer:</u>

Yes

<u>Explanation:</u>

Average velocity is the ratio of total displacement and time taken for that displacement:

average \space\ velocity = \frac{displacement}{time}

This means if displacement is zero, then average velocity will also be zero.

Displacement is zero when an object moves some distance in one direction, and then moves the same distance but in the opposite direction.

∴ As it is possible for displacement to be zero, it is also possible for average velocity to be zero.

Why do the constellations seem to move around in the sky?.
Gnoma [55]

Answer: As Earth spins on its axis, we, as Earth-bound observers, spin past this background of distant stars. As Earth spins, the stars appear to move across our night sky from east to west, for the same reason that our Sun appears to “rise” in the east and “set” in the west.
