A vertical spring has a mass hanging from it, which is displaced from the equilibrium position and begins to oscillate. At what

point does the system have the least potential energy?
Physics

Orlov [11]3 years ago

Answer:

the object has least potential energy at mean position of the SHM

Explanation:

If a block is connected with a spring and there is no resistive force on the system

In this case the total energy of the system is always conserved and it will change from one form to another form

So here we will say that

Kinetic energy + Potential energy = Total Mechanical energy

As we can say that total energy is conserved so here we have least potential energy when the system has maximum kinetic energy

So here we also know that at mean position of the SHM the system has maximum speed and hence maximum kinetic energy.

So the object has least potential energy at mean position of the SHM

A disk of radius R = 7.52 cm is centered at the origin and lies along the y – z plane. The disk has a surface charge density σ =
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

The electric field produced by this disk along the x axis at point (P = 1.01 m, 0.00 m) is 996.54 N/C

Explanation:

The electric field produced by this disk along the x axis at point (P = 1.01 m, 0.00 m), will be evaluated as follows:

Since x > 0

E_{x} = 2\pi \sigma k [1-\frac{x}{\sqrt{x^2 +R^2}}]

σ is surface charge density = 5.88 × 10⁻⁶ C / m²

R is the radius = 7.52cm = 0.0752m

position x = 1.01m

k is coulomb force constant = 8.99 × 10⁹ Nm² / C²

E_{x} = 2\pi ( 5.88X10^{-6})(8.99 X10^9)[1-\frac{1.01}{\sqrt{1.01^2 +0.0752^2}}]

    = 996.54 N/C

Therefore, The electric field produced by this disk along the x axis at point (P = 1.01 m, 0.00 m) is 996.54 N/C

Einstein’s general theory of relativity made or allowed us to make predictions about the outcome of several experiments that had
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

1. bending of light in gravitational fields.

2. effect of gravitational redshift.

3. perihelion precission of mecury.

Explanation:

1 bending of light in gravitational fields, we can think of it like this:

by noting the change in position s of stars as they pass near the sun on the celetial sphere, so since the sun creates a gravitational field even the star thats not in our line of side(behind the sun) can be seen because its light is bent.

2. effects of gravitational redshift:

this says that if you are in the gravitational field, your clock moves slower when it is seen by a distant observer.

3. perihelion precission of mecury:

according to Newtonian physics a two body system consisting of a lone orbiting the spherical mass would trace out an ellipse with the center of mass of the system as the focus but mercury deviates from that precission. then according to Einstein, the change in orientation of the orbital ellipsewithin its orbital plane is the effect of gravitation being mediated by the curvature of space-time.

A ball of mass 0.120 kg is dropped from rest from a height of 1.25 m. It rebounds from the floor to reach a height of 0.820 m. W
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

1.0752 kgm/s

Explanation:

Considering when the drop was dropped from rest from a height,

mass of the ball, m = 0.120 kg

height, h = - 1.25 m

the initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

the acceleration due to gravity, g = - 9.8 m/s²

From equation of motion

                            V^{2} = U^{2} + 2gh

Substituting the values,

                             V^{2} = 0^{2} + 2(-9.8 m/s^{2})(-1.25 m)

                             V^{2} = 24.5 m/s

                             V = \sqrt{24.5} \ m/s

                             V = 4.95 \ m/s

                            V = ± 4.95 m/s

                            V = - 4.95 m/s

Since the ball is moving downward, the final velocity of the ball when it hits the floor is  V = - 4.95 m/s  

Considering when the ball rebounds from the floor,

assume the mass of the ball still remain, m = 0.120 kg

height, h = 0.820 m

the final velocity, v = 0 m/s  

the acceleration due to gravity, g = - 9.8 m/s²

From equation of motion

                            V^{2} = U^{2} + 2gh

Substituting the values,

                            0^{2} = U^{2} + 2(-9.8 m/s^{2})(0.820 m)

                            0 = U^{2} - 16.072 m/s

                            U^{2} = 16.072 m/s

                            U = \sqrt{16.072} \ m/s

                           U = ± 4.01 m/s

                          U = + 4.01 m/s

Since the ball is moving upward, the initial velocity of the ball from the bounce from the floor is  U = + 4.01 m/s                        

From Newton's second law of motion, applied force is directly proportional to the rate of change in momentum.

                            F = \frac{mv - mu}{t}

                          F.t = m(v - u)

       ⇒      Impulse = Change in momentum

To calculate the impulse, the moment before the ball hits the ground will be the initial momentum while the moment the ball rebounces will be the final velocity,                        

          ∴          F.t = 0.120  kg(4.01  m/s - (-4.95  m/s) )

                      F.t = 0.120  kg(4.01  m/s + 4.95  m/s) )

                      F.t = 0.120  kg × 8.96  m/s

                      Impulse  = 1.0752 kgm/s

The impulse given to the ball by the floor is 1.0752 kgm/s

What are the dimensions of a frequency in physics
Burka [1]

Answer:

This is the information I can provide. I hope it helps

Explanation:

Frequency is measured in units of hertz (Hz) which is equal to one occurrence of a repeating event per second. The period is the duration of time of one cycle in a repeating event, so the period is the reciprocal of the frequency.
