7) A 0.2 kg mass is dropped from a 10 m high building on top of a spring that is placed vertically. It stops after moving 9.2 me

ters down and stops 0.8 meters above the ground while compressing the spring by 0.5 meters. What is the spring coefficient if air resistance is negligible?

Answer:

the spring coefficient is

k=16N/m

Explanation:

Hooks law states that provided the elasticity of a material is not exceeded the extension e is proportional to the applied force

Step one

Analysis of the problem

From analysis of the problem

The mass has a potential energy due to the height it was dropped from, the potential energy is then stored in the spring since it was dropped on the spring which compresses it by 0.5m

Step two

Data

Mass of object m=0.2kg

Height of building =10m

Compression of spring e=0.5m

Spring constant k=?

Step three

According to the principle of energy conservation

mgh=1/2(k*e^2)

Making k subject of formula we have

k=2mgh/e^2

Substituting our data into the expression to get k

Assuming g=9.81m/s

k=2*0.2*10/0.5^2

k=4/0.25

k=16N/m

A baseball of mass m = 0.31 kg is spun vertically on a massless string of length L = 0.51m. The string can only support a tensio
natulia [17]

Given data:

* The mass of the baseball is 0.31 kg.

* The length of the string is 0.51 m.

* The maximum tension in the string is 7.5 N.

Solution:

The centripetal force acting on the ball at the top of the loop is,

\begin{gathered} T+mg=\frac{mv^2}{L}_{} \\ v^2=\frac{L(T+mg)}{m} \\ v=\sqrt[]{\frac{L(T+mg)}{m}} \end{gathered}

For the maximum velocity of the ball at the top of the vertical circular motion,

v_{\max }=\sqrt[]{\frac{L(T_{\max }+mg)}{m}}

where g is the acceleration due to gravity,

Substituting the known values,

\begin{gathered} v_{\max }=\sqrt[]{\frac{0.51(7.5_{}+0.31\times9.8)}{0.31}} \\ v_{\max }=\sqrt[]{\frac{0.51(10.538)}{0.31}} \\ v_{\max }=\sqrt[]{17.34} \\ v_{\max }=4.16\text{ m/s} \end{gathered}

Thus, the maximum speed of the ball at the top of the vertical circular motion is 4.16 meters per second.

A rock is thrown horizontally off a cliff with an initial speed of 3 m/s. The initial position of the rock is 10 meters above th
Valentin [98]

Answer:

<em>1.43 s.</em>

Explanation:

Using one of the equations of motion,

S = ut + 1/2gt².......................... Equation 1

Where S = height of the cliff, u = initial velocity, t = time, g = acceleration due to gravity.

<em>Note: When the rock begins to fall from the maximum height, u = 0 m/s, g = positive</em>

<em>Given: S = 10 m, u = 0 m/s</em>

<em>Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²</em>

<em>Substituting these values into equation,</em>

<em>10 = 0(t) + 1/2(9.8)(t²)</em>

<em>10 = 0 + 4.9t²</em>

<em>t² = 10/4.9</em>

<em>t² = 100/49</em>

<em>t = √(100/49)</em>

<em>t = 10/7</em>

<em>t = 1.43 s.</em>

<em>Thus the rock spend 1.43 s in air</em>

When multiple forces are at work on an object, the net force is called a ______.
natka813 [3]

When multiple forces are at work on an object, the net force is called a <em>resultant</em>, because it's a sum of vectors, and a sum of vectors is called their resultant.
