You have a two-wheel trailer that you pull behind your ATV. Two children with a combined mass of 76.2 kg hop on board for a ride

through the woods and the springs (one for each wheel) each compress by 6.17 cm. When you pull the trailer over a tree root in the trail, it oscillates with a period of 2.09 s. Determine the following. (a) force constant of the springs? N/m
(b) mass of the trailer? kg

(c) frequency of the oscillation? Hz

(d) time it takes for the trailer to bounce up and down 10 times? s

a) The spring constant is 12,103 N/m

b) The mass of the trailer 2,678 kg

c) The frequency of oscillation is 0.478 Hz

d) The time taken for 10 oscillations is 20.9 s

Explanation:

a)

When the two children jumps on board of the trailer, the two springs compresses by a certain amount

\Delta x = 6.17 cm = 0.0617 m

Since the system is then in equilibrium, the restoring force of the two-spring system must be equal to the weight of the children, so we can write:

2mg = k'\Delta x (1)

where

m = 76.2 kg is the mass of each children

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

k' is the equivalent spring constant of the 2-spring system

For two springs in parallel each with constant k,

k'=k+k=2k

Substituting into (1) and solving for k, we find:

2mg=2k\Delta x\\k=\frac{mg}{\Delta x}=\frac{(76.2)(9.8)}{0.0617}=12,103 N/m

b)

The period of the oscillating system is given by

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k'}}

where

And for the system in the problem, we know that

T = 2.09 s is the period of oscillation

m is the mass of the trailer

k'=2k=2(12,103)=24,206 N/m is the equivalent spring constant of the system

Solving the equation for m, we find the mass of the trailer:

m=(\frac{T}{2\pi})^2 k'=(\frac{2.09}{2\pi})^2 (24,206)=2,678 kg

c)

The frequency of oscillation of a spring-mass system is equal to the reciprocal of the period, therefore:

f=\frac{1}{T}

where

f is the frequency

T is the period

In  this problem, we have

T = 2.09 s is the period

Therefore, the frequency of oscillation is

f=\frac{1}{2.09}=0.478 Hz

d)

The period of the system is

T = 2.09 s

And this time is the time it takes for the trailer to complete one oscillation.

In this case, we want to find the time it takes for the trailer to complete 10 oscillations (bouncing up and down 10 times). Therefore, the time taken will be the period of oscillation multiplied by 10.

Therefore, the time needed for 10 oscillations is:

t=10T=10(2.09)=20.9 s

Which statement is not true?
Valentin [98]

Answer:

correct answer is objects that are good absorbers of radiation are good reflectors as well

Explanation:

This is a contradiction because good absorbers are poor reflectors. For example if you have a mirror which have shiny surface then it can reflect the radiation in a well manner but it is not a good absorber.

other options are true.

If the density of an object is 30 g/cm3 and its volume is 10 cm3, what is its mass in grams?
Inga [223]
Density = Mass / Volume

Mass = Density * Volume

Mass =  30 g/cm³  *  10 cm³ = 300 g

Mass = 300 g

A circular coil of wire of radius 5.0 cm has 20 turns and carries a current of 2.0 A. The coil lies in a magnetic field of magni
Korvikt [17]

Answer:a. Magnetic dipole moment is 0.3412Am²

b. Torque is zero(0)N.m

Explanation: The magnetic dipole moment U is given as the product of the number of turns n times the current I times the area A

That is,

U = n*I*A

But Area A is given as pi*radius² since it is a circular coil

Radius given is 5cm converting to meter we divide by 100 so we have our radius to be 0.05m. So area A is

A = 3.142*(0.05)² =7.86*EXP {-3} m²

Current I is 2 A

Number of turns is 20

So magnetic dipole moment U is

U = 20*2*7.86*EXP {-3}=0.3142A.m²

b. Torque is given as the cross product of the magnetic field B and magnetic dipole moment U

Torque = B x U =B*U*Sine(theta)

But since the magnetic field is directed parallel to the plane of the coil from the question, it means that the angle between them is zero and sine zero is equals 0(zero) if you substitute that into the formula for torque you will find out that your torque would equals zero(0)N.m
