If one oscillation has 5. 8 times the energy of a second one of equal frequency and mass, what is the ratio of their amplitudes?

quester [9]

The ratio of their amplitudes will be 2.41.

To find the answer, we have to know more about the simple harmonic motion.

<h3>How to find the ratio of their amplitudes?</h3>

It is given that,

$E_1=5.8E_2\\m_1=m_2 \\\omega_1=\omega_2$

We have the relation between these quantities and amplitudes as,

$A=\sqrt\frac{2E}{k} \\k=m\omega^2$

Here, for both the oscillation, k will be same.

Thus, the ratio of amplitude will be,

$\frac{A_1}{A_2} =\sqrt{\frac{E_1}{E_2} } =\sqrt{\frac{5.8E_2}{E_2} } =2.41$

Thus, we can conclude that, the ratio of their amplitudes will be 2.41.

A small object carrying a charge of -4.00 nC is acted upon by a downward force of 19.0 nN when placed at a certain point in an e

Gala2k [10]

Explanation:

Given that,

Charge acting on the object, $q=-4\ nC=-4\times 10^{-9}\ C$

Force acting on the object, $F=19\ nC=19\times 10^{-9}\ C$ (in downward direction)

(a) The electric force acting in the electric field is given by :

$F=qE$

E is the electric field

$E=\dfrac{F}{q}$

$E=\dfrac{19\times 10^{-9}\ N}{4\times 10^{-9}\ C}$

E = 4.75 N/C

The direction of electric field is as same as electric force. But it is negative charge. So, the direction of electric field is in upward direction.

(b) The charge on the proton is, $q=1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C$

The force acting on the proton is :

$F=qE$

$F=1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 4.75$

$F=7.6\times 10^{-19}\ N$

If the charge on the proton is positive, the force on the proton is in upward direction.

Hence, this is the required solution.

A 0.250 kg block on a vertical spring with spring constant of 4.45 ✕ 103 N/m is pushed downward, compressing the spring 0.080 m.

Elza [17]

Answer:h=5.81 m

Explanation:

Given

Mass of block(m)=0.250 kg

Spring Constant $k=4.45\times 10^3 N/m$

Initial elongation =0.080 m=8 cm

Thus Initial Potential Energy stored =Final Potential Energy stored in Block

$P_i=\frac{kx^2}{2}$

$P_i=\frac{4.45\times 10^3\times 64\times 10^{-4}}{2}=14.24 J$

$P_f=mgh=0.25\times 9.8\times h$

$P_i=P_f$

$14.24 =0.25\times 9.8\times h$

$h=\frac{14.24}{0.25\times 9.8}=5.81 m$
