Answer:

(a) Amplitude of the motion is 0.184 m.

(b) 0.285 of the original kinetic energy appears as the mechanical energy in the harmonic oscillation.

Explanation:

(a) First we will use the conservation of linear momentum to find the velocity of the combined objects.

P_1 = P_2\\mv_1 = (M + m) v_2\\0.05*150 = (4 + 0.05)v_2\\v_2 = 1.85~m/s

Before the collision, the spring is in equilibrium, so it is stretched by the amount of x.

kx = Mg\\x = \frac{Mg}{k} = \frac{4*9.8}{500} = 0.0784~m

Just after the collision, the motion starts from this position.

The simple harmonic motion equation is

x(t) = A\cos(\omega t + \phi)\\v(t) = \frac{dx(t)}{dt} = -\omega A\sin(\omega t + \phi)

ω is the angular frequency, and given as

\omega = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}} = \sqrt{\frac{500}{4.05}} = 11.11

Φ is the phase angle and can be found by the initial conditions.

At t = 0 (Just after the collision);

x(t=0) = 0.0784 = A\cos(\omega * (0) + \phi) = A\cos(\phi)\\v(t=0) = 1.85 = -(11.11)A\sin(\phi)\\\\\cos(\phi) = 0.0784/A\\A = -0.1665/\sin(\phi)\\\\\cos(\phi) = \frac{0.0784}{-\frac{0.1665}{\sin(\phi)}} = 0.4709\sin(\phi)\\\cot(\phi) = 0.4709\\\phi = 64.7^\circ\\A = \frac{0.1665}{\sin(\phi)} = \frac{0.1665}{0.9044} =  0.184~m

(b) The original kinetic energy is

K_0 = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 = 562.5~J

The mechanical energy of the simple harmonic motion is

K + U = \frac{1}{2}(M+m)v_2^2 + \frac{1}{2}k_x^2 = \frac{1}{2}(4.05)(1.85)^2 + \frac{1}{2}500(0.0784)^2\\K+ U = 160.59~J

So 0.285 of the original kinetic energy appears as the mechanical energy in the harmonic oscillation. The rest of the original energy is converted to heat during the collision.

lesya [120]

Answer:

The track's angular velocity is W2 = 4.15 in rpm

Explanation:

Momentum angular can be find

I = m*r^2

P = I*W

So to use the conservation

P1 + P2 = 0

I1*W1 + I2*W2 = 0

Solve to w2 to find the angular velocity

0.240kg*0.30m^2*0.79m/s=-1kg*0.30m^2*W2

W2 = 0.435 rad/s

W2 = 4.15 rpm

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

C) Burmese pythons lack natural predators and can utilize a wide variety of food sources in the Everglades.

Explanation:

Due to it being an invasive specie (naturally found in South Asia), and also one of the five largest species of snakes in the world, the Burmese pythons lack natural predators in this new territories.

The Burmese viper is also an opportunistic hunter and would eat anything it can overpower, it easily made a wide range of food varieties in these swamps.

Water that flows from behind a large dam can cause machines to produce electricity. What change takes place?
lyudmila [28]
The mechanical energy in the falling water is used to spin the generator, and gets transformed into electrical energy.  That's the first choice on the list.
