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?

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

three masses are connected by a light string that passes over a frictionless pulley as shown. (a) what is there acceleration of
Ket [755]

The mass on the left has a downslope weight of  

W1 = 3.5kg * 9.8m/s² * sin35º = 19.7 N  

The mass on the right has a downslope weight of  

W2 = 8kg * 9.8m/s² * sin35º = 45.0 N  

The net is 25.3 N pulling downslope to the right.  

(a) Therefore we need 25.3 N of friction force.  

Ff = 25.3 N = µ(m1 + m2)gcosΘ = µ * 11.5kg * 9.8m/s² * cos35º  

25.3N = µ * 92.3 N  

µ = 0.274  

(b) total mass is 11.5 kg, and the net force is 25.3 N, so  

acceleration a = F / m = 25.3N / 11.5kg = 2.2 m/s²  

tension T = 8kg * (9.8sin35 - 2.2)m/s² = 27 N  

Check: T = 3.5kg * (9.8sin35 + 2.2)m/s² = 27 N √

hope this helps.   :)

You drag a suitcase of mass 8.2 kg with a force of f at an angle 41.9 ◦ with respect to the horizontal along a surface with kine
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

35.6 N

Explanation:

We can consider only the forces acting along the horizontal direction to solve the problem.

There are two forces acting along the horizontal direction:

- The horizontal component of the pushing force, which is given by

F_x = F cos \theta

with \theta=41.9^{\circ}

- The frictional force, whose magnitude is

F_f = \mu mg

where \mu=0.33, m=8.2 kg and g=9.8 m/s^2.

The two forces have opposite directions (because the frictional force is always opposite to the motion), and their resultant must be zero, because the suitcase is moving with constant velocity (which means acceleration equals zero, so according to Newton's second law: F=ma, the net force is zero). So we can write:

F_x - F_f=0\\F_x = F_f\\F cos \theta = \mu mg\\F=\frac{\mu mg}{cos \theta}=\frac{(0.33)(8.2 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)}{cos(41.9^{\circ})}=35.6 N

What is the approximate diameter of an inflated
forsale [732]
Well let's convert all these values out of standard form first:

2x10^-2 = 2x0.01 = 0.02m = 2cm
2x10^0m = 2x1 = 2m
2x10^-1m = 2x0.1 = 0.2m = 20cm
2x10^1m = 2x10 = 20m

Based on that, we know that 20cm is roughly equivalent to a basketball (at least it's closer than all the other values), so the answer is therefore 2 - 2x10^-1m

Pls help with these two last questions
zhenek [66]

Answer:

F = 50[N], to the left.

v = 10.52 [m/s]

Explanation:

<u>First problem</u>

<u />

In order to solve this problem we must apply Newton's laws, in such a way that we must perform a summation of forces on the horizontal axis. In this way we will analyze each force and the direction of action.

The offensive player is applying a force of 100N to the right, while the defensive player applies a force of 150N to the left. In this way performing the summation of forces we have.

100 - 150 = F

F = - 50 [N]

Note: The negative sign indicates that the resulting force is to the left.

<u>Second problem</u>

<u />

We must remember that the definition of speed is equal to the relationship between distance over time.

x = distance = 100 [m]

t = time = 9.5 [s]

v = x/t

v = 100/9.5

v = 10.52 [m/s]

<u />
