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.

The resistivity of gold is at room temperature. A gold wire that is 0.9 mm in diameter and 14 cm long carries a current of 940 m
IgorC [24]

Answer:

0.0360531138247 V/m

Explanation:

\rho = Resistivity of gold = 2.44\times 10^{-8}\ \Omega .m (General value)

I = Current = 940 mA

d = Diameter = 0.9 mm

A = Area = \dfrac{\pi}{4}d^2

E = Electric field

Resistivity is given by

\rho=\dfrac{EA}{I}\\\Rightarrow E=\dfrac{\rho I}{A}\\\Rightarrow E=\dfrac{2.44\times 10^{-8}\times 940\times 10^{-3}}{\dfrac{\pi}{4}(0.9\times 10^{-3})^2}\\\Rightarrow E=0.0360531138247\ V/m

The  electric field in the wire is 0.0360531138247 V/m

cluponka [151]

Answer:

• riding on a Ferris wheel whose entrance and exit are the same

• walking around the block, starting from and ending at the same house

• running exactly one lap around a racetrack

Explanation:

Displacement simply means the.change in position of an object. In a situation whereby the initial and final position are thesame, the displacement will be zero.

The statements that describe a situation with a displacement of zero include:

• riding on a Ferris wheel whose entrance and exit are the same

• walking around the block, starting from and ending at the same house

• running exactly one lap around a racetrack

Consider a concave spherical mirr or that has focal length f = +19.5 cm.
lidiya [134]

The distance of an object from the mirror's vertex if the image is real and has the same height as the object is 39 cm.

<h3>What is concave mirror?</h3>

A concave mirror has a reflective surface that is curved inward and away from the light source.

Concave mirrors reflect light inward to one focal point and it usually form real and virtual images.

<h3>Object distance of the concave mirror</h3>

Apply mirrors formula as shown below;

1/f = 1/v + 1/u

where;

  • f is the focal length of the mirror
  • v is the object distance
  • u is the image distance

when image height = object height, magnification = 1

u/v = 1

v = u

Substitute the given parameters and solve for the distance of the object from the mirror's vertex

1/f = 1/v + 1/v

1/f = 2/v

v = 2f

v = 2(19.5 cm)

v = 39 cm

Thus, the distance of an object from the mirror's vertex if the image is real and has the same height as the object is 39 cm.
