A block of mass m=0.4 kg starts from rest and slides down a frictionless ramp, before hitting a spring of spring constant k = 30

0 N/m placed on a horizontal surface. When the block is at the height of 1.5m above the ground, its velocity is 2m/s. What is the maximum compression of the spring? Take g=9.8 m/s^2.

Answer:

Maximum spring compression is 0.21 m

Solution:

As per the question:

Mass of the block, M = 0.4 kg

Spring constant, k = 300 N/m

Height of the block, h = 1.5 m

Velocity of the block, v = 2 m/s

Now,

By conservation of energy:

PE + KE = E_{spring}                   (1)

where

PE = Potential energy = Mgh

KE = Kinetic Energy = \frac{1}{2}Mv^{2}

E_{spring} = \frac{1}{2}kx^{2} = energy in the spring

Now, using eqn (1) to calculate maximum compression 'x' of the spring:

Mgh + \frac{1}{2}Mv^{2} = \frac{1}{2}kx^{2}

0.4\times 9.8\times 1.5 + \frac{1}{2}\times 0.4\times (2)^{2} = \frac{1}{2}\times 300x^{2}

x^{2} = 0.0445

x = 0.21 m

The change in motion (acceleration) of an object depends on
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

BOTH the size of the force AND the mass of the object

Explanation:

Acceleration of an object is the rate of change of its velocity.

The relation between force, mass and acceleration is given by the formula as follows :

F = ma

m is mass

a is acceleration

It would mean that the change in motion or the acceleration of an object depends on both the size of the force and the mass of the object. Hence, the correct option is (c).

Answer:

8 V

Explanation:

There is no resistance between the left legs of voltmeters 2 and 3 and there is no resistance between the right legs of voltmeters 2 and 3. They are measuring the same voltage.

A rod of length Lo moves iwth a speed v along the horizontal direction. The rod makes an angle of (θ)0 with respect to the x' ax
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

From the question we are told that

  The length of the rod is  L_o

    The  speed is  v  

     The angle made by the rod is  \theta

     

Generally the x-component of the rod's length is  

     L_x =  L_o cos (\theta )

Generally the length of the rod along the x-axis  as seen by the observer, is mathematically defined by the theory of  relativity as

       L_xo  =  L_x  \sqrt{1  - \frac{v^2}{c^2} }

=>     L_xo  =  [L_o cos (\theta )]  \sqrt{1  - \frac{v^2}{c^2} }

Generally the y-component of the rods length  is mathematically represented as

      L_y  =  L_o  sin (\theta)

Generally the length of the rod along the y-axis  as seen by the observer, is   also equivalent to the actual  length of the rod along the y-axis i.e L_y

    Generally the resultant length of the rod as seen by the observer is mathematically represented as

     L_r  =  \sqrt{ L_{xo} ^2 + L_y^2}

=>  L_r  = \sqrt{[ (L_o cos(\theta) [\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2} }\ \ ]^2+ L_o sin(\theta )^2)}

=>  L_r= \sqrt{ (L_o cos(\theta)^2 * [ \sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2} } ]^2 + (L_o sin(\theta))^2}

=>   L_r  = \sqrt{(L_o cos(\theta) ^2 [1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2} ] +(L_o sin(\theta))^2}

=> L_r =  \sqrt{L_o^2 * cos^2(\theta)  [1 - \frac{v^2 }{c^2} ]+ L_o^2 * sin(\theta)^2}

=> L_r  =  \sqrt{ [cos^2\theta +sin^2\theta ]- \frac{v^2 }{c^2}cos^2 \theta }

=> L_o \sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2 } cos^2(\theta ) }

Hence the length of the rod as measured by a stationary observer is

       L_r = L_o \sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2 } cos^2(\theta ) }

   Generally the angle made is mathematically represented

tan(\theta) =  \frac{L_y}{L_x}

=>  tan {\theta } =  \frac{L_o sin(\theta )}{ (L_o cos(\theta ))\sqrt{ 1 -\frac{v^2}{c^2} } }

=> tan(\theta ) =  \frac{tan\theta}{\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2} } }

What is the length of the x-component of the vector shown below?
ollegr [7]

Answer:

Option B. 8.1

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Angle θ = 71°

Hypothenus = 25

Adjacent = x

Thus, we can obtain the x component of the vector by using the cosine ratio as illustrated below:

Cos θ = Adjacent /Hypothenus

Cos 71 = x/25

Cross multiply

x = 25 × Cos 71

x = 25 × 0.3256

x = 8.1

Therefore, the x component of the vector is 8.1
