A 326 g object is attached to a spring and executes simple harmonic motion with a period of 0.250 s. If the total energy of the
Basile [38]

Answer:

a) v_{max}=5.98\frac{m}{s}

b) k=205.92\frac{N}{m}

c) A=0.24m

Explanation:

a) In the equilibrium position of the system, that is when the spring is not elongated, the potential energy is zero. Therefore, the total energy of the system is the maximum kinetic energy:

E=K_{max}\\E=\frac{mv_{max}^2}{2}\\v_{max}=\sqrt{\frac{2E}{m}}\\v_{max}=\sqrt{\frac{2(5.83J)}{0.326kg}}\\v_{max}=5.98\frac{m}{s}

b) The force constant of the spring can be calculated from the natural frequency of the system:

\omega^2=\frac{k}{m}\\k=m\omega^2

Recall that \omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}\\, that is the distance traveled in one revolution divided into the time of one revolution. Replacing and solving for k:

k=\frac{m4\pi^2}{T^2}\\k=\frac{(0.326kg)4\pi^2}{(0.25s)^2}\\k=205.92\frac{N}{m}

c) The maximum speed is directly proportional to the amplitude of the motion:

v_{max}=A\omega\\A=\frac{v_{max}}{\omega}\\A=\frac{(v_{max})T}{2\pi}\\A=\frac{(5.98\frac{m}{s})0.25s}{2\pi}\\A=0.24m

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

Electric field at a distance of 1.45 cm will be 172.41\times 10^4N/C

Explanation:

We have given the distance d = 1.45 cm = 0.0145 m

And the potential difference V=2.5\times 10^4volt

There is a relation between potential difference and electric field

Electric field at a distance d due to a potential difference is given by

E=\frac{V}{d}, here E is electric field, V is potential difference and d is distance

So E=\frac{V}{d}=\frac{2.5\times 10^4}{0.0145}=172.41\times 10^4N/C

A lunar module weighs 12 metric tons on the surface of the Earth. How much work is done in propelling the module from the surfac
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

W=76.55 miles.metric tons

Explanation:

Given that

Weight on the earth = 12 tons

So weight on the moon =12/6 = 2 tons

 ( because at moon g will become g/6)

As we know that

F=\dfrac{K}{x^2}

Here x= 1100 miles

F 2 tons

2=\dfrac{K}{1100^2}

So

K=2.4\times 10^6

We know that

Work = F. dx

W=\int_{x_1}^{x_2}F.dx

W=\int_{1100}^{1140}\dfrac{2.4\times 10^6}{x^2}.dx

W=-2.4\times 10^6\left[\dfrac{1}{x}\right]_{1100}^{1140}

W=-2.4\times 10^6\left[\dfrac{1}{1140}-\dfrac{1}{1100}\right]

W=76.55 miles.metric tons

What happens to the magnitude of the gravitational force as the distance between two bodies increase?
Anna [14]

Answer:

The magnitude of the force will decrease

Explanation:

The gravitational force is one of the four fundamental forces of nature. It is an attractive force exerted between every object having mass.

Its magnitude is given by the equation:

F=\frac{Gm_1 m_2}{r^2}

where

G is the gravitational constant

m1 is the mass of the first object

m2 is the mass of the second object

r is the separation between the objects

As we see from the equation, the magnitude of the gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the objects:

F\propto \frac{1}{r^2}

Therefore, this means that as the distance between two bodies increases, the gravitational force will decrease.
