Due to tides mean sea level off of Newport Beach reaches a height of 1.3 meters during high tide and 0.3 meters during low tide.

Successive high tides occur every 12 hours (43,200 seconds). A buoy with mass m = 40 kg is floating in the ocean off of Newport Beach.1) Relevant concepts/equations. (5 points.)2) Assume we begin to measure the buoy’s displacement at High tide which occurs exactly at 12:00 am (0 seconds). Also assume we can model the buoy’s displacement as a simple undamped oscillation. What is the amplitude and phase angle for the buoy’s displacement? (10 points)3) During one half cycle of six hours (21600 seconds), the buoy’s displacement passes through an angle of 180 degrees. From this information, what is the angular frequency ω of the buoy? (5 points)4) Using your previous answer, what is the force constant ‘k’ acting on the buoy? (5 points)5) What is the maximum velocity of the buoy? What is the maximum acceleration of the buoy? (10 points)6) What is the energy of the buoy due to tidal displacement? (5 points)7) How much work is done during one low tide to high tide cycle? How much Power per hour is required to accomplish this? (Assume g= 9.81m/s^2 , compare your answer to a 65W light bulb which uses 65 watts per hour.)

Answer:

1) You are in the presence of an undamped oscillation, therefore you can simulate this system as a simple harmonic motion (SHM) system. The equations used in this case are:

X= X₀ + A·cos(ω·t+Ф)

V=-Aω·sin(ω·t+k·2π)

a=-Aω²·cos(ω·t+k·2π) ⇒ F_{tide} = m·a

ΔU=m·g·ΔX ⇒ W = -ΔU (if is an SHM system, all forces are conservative).

2) If t₀ = 0s is 12:00 am (maximum value of X) then:

A=(Xmax - X min)/2 = 0.5m     and      X₀=Xmax - A = 0.8m

But Max( cos(α)) is obtained with α = 0 or 2π, Therefore 0 = ω·0s+Ф ⇒Ф=0

3) You can obtain ω as ω = 2π/T remember (T=43,200s or 12 hours which is a completed cycle of 2π).

ω =1.454·10^{-4} s⁻¹

4) In SHM, a=-Xω² and  F_{tide} = m·a = -m·Xω² = - K·X Therefore:

K= m·ω² = 8.4616 10^{-7} N/m

5) Maximum velocity is Vmax = Aω = 7.272·10^{-5} m/s

Maximum acceleration of the buoy is a = Aω² = 1.058·10^{-8} m/s²

6) The total energy of the buoy due to tidal displacement is constant (due this is an undamped oscillation), therefore:

E = K + U = (calculated in the maximum tidal point, where V = 0m/s) Umax = m·g·Xmax=510.12J

7) The work W done by the tidal force from low tide to high tide:

W = -ΔU = -m·g·ΔX = 392.4J

The Power P for this work is:

P=W/t=392.4J/6h=65.4J/h=0.018W

the buoy requires 3577 times less power for its movement than a light bulb at the same time of usage.

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

1.5 kgms⁻¹

Explanation:

Momentum can be defined as "<em>mass in motion</em>."  

The amount of momentum that an object has is dependent upon two factors

  • mass of the moving object  
  • speed of motiom 

when there is a change in the velocity , it creates a change in momentum also

when we consider that we can mathematically show this,In terms of an equation,

Change in momentum    (ΔΡ) = m(Δv)

where (Δv) - change in velocity

<em>(Δv) = final velocity - initial velocity</em>

Change in momentum (ΔΡ) = m(Δv)

                                             = 0.1×([55-40])

                                             = 1.5 kgms⁻¹

Calculate the total resistance in a series circuit made up of resistances of 3Ω, 4Ω, and 5Ω.
-BARSIC- [3]
The total resistance in a series circuit is equal to the sum of all resistors (R total = ΣRi).

R total = R1 + R2 + R3 = (3 + 4 + 5) Ω = 12 Ω

There are four charges, each with a magnitude of 4.25 C. Two are positive and two are negative. The charges are fixed to the cor
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

 F = 7.68 10¹¹ N,  θ = 45º

Explanation:

In this exercise we ask for the net electric force. Let's start by writing the configuration of the charges, the charges of the same sign must be on the diagonal of the cube so that the net force is directed towards the interior of the cube, see in the attached numbering and sign of the charges

The net force is

          F_ {net} = F₂₁ + F₂₃ + F₂₄

bold letters indicate vectors. The easiest method to solve this exercise is by using the components of each force.

let's use trigonometry

          cos 45 = F₂₄ₓ / F₂₄

          sin 45 = F_{24y) / F₂₄

          F₂₄ₓ = F₂₄ cos 45

          F_{24y} = F₂₄ sin 45

let's do the sum on each axis

X axis

          Fₓ = -F₂₁ + F₂₄ₓ

          Fₓ = -F₂₁₁ + F₂₄ cos 45

Y axis  

         F_y = - F₂₃ + F_{24y}

         F_y = -F₂₃ + F₂₄ sin 45

They indicate that the magnitude of all charges is the same, therefore

         F₂₁ = F₂₃

Let's use Coulomb's law

         F₂₁ = k q₁ q₂ / r₁₂²

       

the distance between the two charges is

         r = a

         F₂₁ = k q² / a²

we calculate F₂₄

           F₂₄ = k q₂ q₄ / r₂₄²

the distance is

           r² = a² + a²

           r² = 2 a²

         

we substitute

           F₂₄ = k  q² / 2 a²

we substitute in the components of the forces

          Fx = - k \frac{q^2}{a^2} +  k \frac{q^2}{2 a^2}  \ cos 45

          Fx = k \frac{q^2}{a^2}  ( -1 + ½ cos 45)

          F_y = k \frac{q^2}{a^2} ( -1 +  ½ sin 45)    

         

We calculate

            F₀ = 9 10⁹ 4.25² / 0.440²

            F₀ = 8.40 10¹¹ N

       

            Fₓ = 8.40 10¹¹ (½ 0.707 - 1)

            Fₓ = -5.43 10¹¹ N

         

remember cos 45 = sin 45

             F_y = - 5.43 10¹¹  N

We can give the resultant force in two ways

a) F = Fₓ î + F_y ^j

          F = -5.43 10¹¹ (i + j)   N

b) In the form of module and angle.

For the module we use the Pythagorean theorem

          F = \sqrt{F_x^2 + F_y^2}

          F = 5.43 10¹¹  √2

          F = 7.68 10¹¹ N

in angle is

           θ = 45º
