Answer:
(a) -472.305 J
(b) 1 m
Explanation:
(a)
Change in mechanical energy equals change in kinetic energy
Kinetic energy is given by
Initial kinetic energy is 
Since he finally comes to rest, final kinetic energy is zero because the final velocity is zero
Change in kinetic energy is given by final kinetic energy- initial kinetic energy hence
0-472.305 J=-472.305 J
(b)
From fundamental kinematic equation
Where v and u are final and initial velocities respectively, a is acceleration, s is distance
Making s the subject we obtain
but a=\mu g hence
Answer:
x(t)=0.337sin((5.929t)
Explanation:
A frictionless spring with a 3-kg mass can be held stretched 1.6 meters beyond its natural length by a force of 90 newtons. If the spring begins at its equilibrium position, but a push gives it an initial velocity of 2 m/sec, find the position of the mass after t seconds.
Solution. Let x(t) denote the position of the mass at time t. Then x satisfies the differential equation
Definition of parameters
m=mass 3kg
k=force constant
e=extension ,m
ω =angular frequency
k=90/1.6=56.25N/m
ω^2=k/m= 56.25/1.6
ω^2=35.15625
ω=5.929
General solution will be
differentiating x(t)
dx(t)=-5.929c1sin(5.929t)+5.929c2cos(5.929t)
when x(0)=0, gives c1=0
dx(t0)=2m/s gives c2=0.337
Therefore, the position of the mass after t seconds is
x(t)=0.337sin((5.929t)
Answer:
This is to say that the vertical velocity changes by 9.8 m/s each second and the horizontal velocity never changes. This is indeed consistent with the fact that there is a vertical force acting upon a projectile but no horizontal force.
Explanation:
Think of a car, when we have to add oil. If we didn't then the friction would cause so much heat that the engine would break and fall apart.
