Answer:

9.8m/s

Explanation:

Wherever you're on the earth's surface, gravitational force remains the same and it does not matter either its a rock that's being tossed or a sheet of paper, the acceleration remains 9.8m/s only. *Condition applied=air resistance neglected

A mass oscillates up and down on a vertical spring with an amplitude of 3 cm and a period of 2 s. What total distance does the m

harina [27]

Explanation:

It is given that,

A mass oscillates up and down on a vertical spring with an amplitude of 3 cm and a period of 2 s. It is a case of simple harmonic motion. If the amplitude of a wave is T seconds, then the distance cover by that object is 4 times the amplitude.

In 2 seconds, distance covered by the mass is 12 cm.

In 1 seconds, distance covered by the mass is 6 cm

So, in 16 seconds, distance covered by the mass is 96 cm

So, the distance covered by the mass in 16 seconds is 96 cm. Hence, this is the required solution.

Object A has 27 J of kinetic energy. Object B has one-quarter the mass of object A.

andreev551 [17]

Answer:

the final speed of object A changed by a factor of $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3} }$ = 0.58

the final speed of object B changed by a factor of $\sqrt{\frac{5}{3} }$ = 1.29

Explanation:

Given;

kinetic energy of object A, = 27 J

let the mass of object A = $m_A$

then, the mass of object B = $m_B = \frac{m_A}{4}$

work done on object A = -18 J

work done on object B = -18 J

let $v_i$ be the initial speed

let $v_f$ be the final speed

For object A;

$K.E_A = 27\\\\\frac{1}{2} m_A v_i^2 = 27\\\\m_A v_i^2 = 54\\\\m_A = \frac{54}{v_i^2} ----Equation \ (1)\\\\Apply \ work-energy \ theorem;\\\\\delta K.E_A = -18\\\\\frac{1}{2} m_A v_f^2 - \frac{1}{2} m_A v_i^2 = -18\\\\\frac{1}{2} m_A ( v_f^2 \ - v_i^2 )\ =- 18\\\\v_f^2 \ - v_i^2 = -\frac{36}{m_A} ---Equation \ (2)\\\\v_f^2 \ - v_i^2 = -\frac{36v_i^2}{54}\\\\ v_f^2 \ =v_i^2 - \frac{36v_i^2}{54}\\\\ v_f^2 = \frac{54v_i^2 -36v_i^2 }{54} \\\\v_f^2 = \frac{18v_i^2}{54} \\\\v_f^2 = \frac{v_i^2}{3} \\\\$

$v_f = \sqrt{\frac{v_i^2}{3} }\\\\v_f = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3} } \ v_i\\\\$

Thus, the final speed of object A changed by a factor of $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3} }$ = 0.58

To obtain the change in the final speed of object B, apply the following equations.

$K.E_B_i = \frac{1}{2} m_Bv_i^2\\\\m_B = \frac{m_A}{4} \\\\K.E_B_i = \frac{1}{2}(\frac{m_A}{4} )v_i^2\\\\K.E_B_i = \frac{m_Av_i^2}{8} \\\\But, \ m_Av_i^2 = 54 \\\\K.E_B_i = \frac{54}{8} \\\\Apply \ work-energy \ theorem ;\\\\\delta K.E = -18\\\\K.E_f -K.E_i = -18\\\\\frac{1}{2}m_Bv_f^2 - \frac{1}{2} m_Bv_i^2 = -18\\\\Recall \ m_B = \frac{m_A}{4} \\\\\frac{1}{2}(\frac{m_A}{4} )v_f^2 - \frac{1}{2}(\frac{m_A}{4} )v_i^2 = -18\\\\\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{m_A}{4} (v_i^2 -v_f^2) = 18\\\\$

$\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{m_A}{4} (v_i^2 -v_f^2) = 18\\\\v_i^2 -v_f^2 = \frac{8}{m_A} \times 18\\\\v_i^2 -v_f^2 =\frac{144}{m_A} \\\\But , m_A = \frac{54}{v_i^2} \\\\v_i^2 -v_f^2 =\frac{144v_i^2}{54} \\\\v_f^2 = v_i^2 - \frac{144v_i^2}{54}\\\\v_f^2 = \frac{54v_i^2-144v_i^2}{54}\\\\ v_f^2 = \frac{-90v_i^2}{54} \\\\v_f^2 = \frac{-5v_i^2}{3} \\\\|v_f| = \sqrt{\frac{5v_i^2}{3}} \\\\|v_f| = \sqrt{\frac{5}{3}} \ v_i$

Thus, the final speed of object B changed by a factor of $\sqrt{\frac{5}{3} }$ = 1.29
