Answer:

The percentage of the mechanical energy of the oscillator lost in each cycle is 6.72%

Explanation:

Mechanical energy (Potential energy, PE) of the oscillator is calculated as;

PE = ¹/₂KA²

During the first oscillation;

PE₁ = ¹/₂KA₁²

During the second oscillation;

A₂ = A₁ - 0.0342A₁ = 0.9658A₁

PE₂ = ¹/₂KA₂²

PE₂ = ¹/₂K (0.9658A₁)²

PE₂ = (0.9658²)¹/₂KA₁²

PE₂ = (0.9328)¹/₂KA₁²

PE₂ = 0.9328PE₁

Percentage of the mechanical energy of the oscillator lost in each cycle;

Change \ in \ percent= \frac{PE_2 - PE_1}{PE_1} \\\\Change \ in \ percent= \frac{0.9328PE_1 -PE_1}{PE_1} *100\\\\Change \ in \ percent= \frac{-0.0672PE_1}{PE_1}*100 \\\\Change \ in \ percent= -0.0672*100\\\\Change \ in \ percent= -6.72 \ \% \\\\Loss \ in \ percent= 6.72 \ \%

Therefore, the percentage of the mechanical energy of the oscillator lost in each cycle is 6.72%

Will Mark Brainliest if Correct PLZ!!!!! A bullet is shot at some angle above the horizontal at an initial velocity of 87m/s on
qaws [65]

Answer:

≅50°

Explanation:

We have a bullet flying through the air with only gravity pulling it down, so let's use one of our kinematic equations:

Δx=V₀t+at²/2

And since we're using Δx, V₀ should really be the initial velocity in the x-direction. So:

Δx=(V₀cosθ)t+at²/2

Now luckily we are given everything we need to solve (or you found the info before posting here):

  • Δx=760 m
  • V₀=87 m/s
  • t=13.6 s
  • a=g=-9.8 m/s²; however, at 760 m, the acceleration of the bullet is 0 because it has already hit the ground at this point!

With that we can plug the values in to get:

760=(87)(cos\theta )(13.6)+\frac{(0)(13.6^{2}) }{2}

760=(1183.2)(cos\theta)

cos\theta=\frac{760}{1183.2}

\theta=cos^{-1}(\frac{760}{1183.2})\approx50^{o}

On the Apollo 14 mission to the moon, astronaut Alan Shepard hit a golf ball with a golf club improvised from a tool. The free-f
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

15.3 s and 332 m

Explanation:

With the launch of projectiles expressions we can solve this problem, with the acceleration of the moon

    gm = 1/6 ge

    gm = 1/6  9.8 m/s² = 1.63 m/s²

We calculate the range

    R = Vo² sin 2θ  / g

    R = 25² sin (2 30) / 1.63

    R= 332 m

We will calculate the time of flight,

   Y = Voy t – ½ g t2  

   Voy = Vo sin θ

When the ball reaches the end point has the same initial  height Y=0

0 = Vo sin  t – ½  g t2

0 = 25 sin (30)  t – ½ 1.63 t2

0= 12.5 t –  0.815 t2

We solve the equation

0= t ( 12.5 -0.815 t)

 t=0 s

t= 15.3 s

The value of zero corresponds to the departure point and the flight time is 15.3 s

Let's calculate the reach on earth

R2 = 25² sin (2 30) / 9.8

R2 = 55.2 m

R/R2 = 332/55.2

R/R2 = 6

Therefore the ball travels a distance six times greater on the moon than on Earth

Two masses are attracted by a gravitational force of 7 N.
damaskus [11]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: F  = 0.4375 N. The force will be 16 times lower than with the first conditions.

Explanation:

Data

F = 7 N

F = ?  if the masses is quartered

Formula

F = \frac{Km1m2}{r2}

Process

Normal conditions F = Km₁m₂/r²  = 7              

When masses quartered        F = K(m₁/4)(m₂/4)/r²  = ?

                                                F = K(m₁m₂/16)/r²

                                                F = K(m₁m₂/16r²      = 7/16  = 0.4375 N

he triceps muscle in the back of the upper arm extends the forearm. This muscle in a professional boxer exerts a force of 2.00 1
meriva

Answer:

Moment of inertia = 0.3862kg-m²

Explanation:

2.00x10³

2.80cm

145 rad

r = r⊥ x F

F is an applied force

r⊥ is the distance between the applied force and axis

Force exerted = 2.00x10³

r⊥ = 2.8cm = 0.028m

Alpha = 145rad/s²

r = 0.028m x 2.00x10³

r = 56.0N-m

To get the moment of inertia

56.0N-m² = (145rad/s²) x I

The I would be:

I = (56.0N-m²)/(145rad/s²)

I = 56/145

= 0.3862Kg-m²

This is the moment of inertia.

Thank you!

An electron is accelerated by a 3.6 kv potential difference. the charge on an electron is 1.60218 × 10−19 c and its mass is 9.10
katen-ka-za [31]
By definition, the potential energy is:
 U = qV
 Where,
 q: load
 V: voltage.
 Then, the kinetic energy is:
 K = mv ^ 2/2
 Where,
 m: mass
 v: speed.
 As the power energy is converted into kinetic energy, we have then:
 U = K
 Equating equations:
 qV = mv ^ 2/2
 From here, we clear the speed:
 v = root (2qV / m)
 Substituting values we have:
 v = root ((2 * (1.60218 × 10 ^ -19) * 3600) /9.10939×10^-31))
 v = 3.56 × 10 ^ 7 m / s
 Then, the centripetal force is:
 Fc = Fm
 mv ^ 2 / r = qvB
 By clearing the magnetic field we have:
 B = mv / qr
 Substituting values:
 B = (9.10939 × 10 ^ -31) * (3.56 × 10 ^ 7) / (1.60218 × 10 ^ -19) * 0.059
 B = 3.43 × 10 ^ -3 T
 Answer:
 
A magnetic field that must be experienced by the electron is:
 
B = 3.43 × 10 ^ -3 T
