A 1.5-kg mass attached to an ideal massless spring with a spring constant of 20.0 N/m oscillates on a horizontal, frictionless t

rack. At time t = 0.00 s, the mass is released from rest at x = 10.0 cm. (That is, the spring is stretched by 10.0 cm.) (a) Find the frequency of the oscillations and express the displacement x as a function of time t. (b) Determine the maximum speed and the maximum acceleration of the mass. (c) At what location are the kinetic energy and the potential energy of the system the same?

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) angular frequency ω = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }

k is spring constant and m is mass attached

ω = \sqrt{\frac{20}{1.5} }

= 3.6515 rad / s

frequency of oscillation n = 3.6515 / (2 x 3.14)

= .5814 s⁻¹

x = .1 mcos(ωt)

= .1 mcos(3.6515t)

b ) maximum speed = ωA , A is amplitude

= 3.6515 x .1

= .36515 m /s

36.515 cm /s

maximum acceleration = ω²A

= 3.6515² x .1

= 1.333 m / s²

c ) Kinetic energy at displacement x

= 1/2 m ω²( A²-x²)

potential energy =1/2 m ω²x²

so 1/2 m ω²( A²-x²) = 1/2 m ω²x²

A²-x² = x²

2x² = A²

x = A / √2

A 1000 kg car moving a 10 m/s collides with a stationary 2000 kg truck. The two vehicles interlock as a result of the collision.
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

v₃ = 3.33 [m/s]

Explanation:

This problem can be easily solved using the principle of linear momentum conservation. Which tells us that momentum is preserved before and after the collision.

In this way, we can propose the following equation in which everything that happens before the collision will be located to the left of the equal sign and on the right the moment after the collision.

(m_{1}*v_{1})+(m_{2}*v_{2})=(m_{1}+m_{2})*v_{3}

where:

m₁ = mass of the car = 1000 [kg]

v₁ = velocity of the car = 10 [m/s]

m₂ = mass of the truck = 2000 [kg]

v₂ = velocity of the truck = 0 (stationary)

v₃ = velocity of the two vehicles after the collision [m/s].

Now replacing:

(1000*10)+(2000*0)=(1000+2000)*v_{3}\\v_{3}=3.33[m/s]

a ball is projected horizontally with a velocity of 5 m per second from the top of a building 19.6 m high how long will the ball
zepelin [54]

Answer:

1.98s

Explanation:

The time taken to hit the ground is given by

h=ut+ 1/2 at^2

but u =0

so we have

h=1/2at^2

making t the subject

t=√2h/g

√2×19.6/10
