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.

musickatia [10]

Answer:

A)5524J,

B) 29.2Nm

Explanation:

This question can be treated using work- energy theorem

Work= change in Kinectic energy

W= Δ KE

Work= difference between the final Kinectic energy and intial Kinectic energy.

We know that

Kinectic energy= 1/2 mv^2 .............eqn(1)

This can be written in term of angular velocity, as

KE= 1/2 I

9. How much work is done when a 15kg box is lifted to a height of 2 meters?
torisob [31]

Answer: W = 294 J

Explanation: Solution:

Work is expressed as the product of force and the distance of the object.

W = Fd        where F = mg

W= Fd

   = mg d

   = 15 kg ( 9.8 m/s²) ( 2m )

   = 294 J

spotlight on a boat is 2.5 m above the water, and the light strikes the water at a point that is 8.0 m horizontally displaced fr
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let i be the angle of incidence and r be the angle of refraction .

From the figure

Tan ( 90 - i ) = 2.5 / 8

cot i = 2.5 / 8

Tan i = 8 / 2.5 = 3.2

i = 72.65°

From snell's law

sini / sin r = refractive index

sin 72.65 / sinr = 1.333

sin r = .9545  / 1.333

= .72

r = 46⁰

From the figure

Tan r  = d / 4

Tan 46 = d /4

d = 4 x Tan 46

= 4 x 1.0355

=4.14 m .

A wave pulse traveling to the right along a thin cord reaches a discontinuity where the rope becomes thicker and heavier. What i
Talja [164]

Answer:

the reflected wave is inverted and the transmitted wave is up

Explanation:

To answer this question we must analyze the physical phenomenon, with an wave reaching a discontinuity, we can analyze it as a shock.

Let's start when the discontinuity is with a fixed, very heavy and rigid obstacle, in this case the reflected wave is inverted, since the contact point cannot move

In the event that it collides with an object that can move, the reflected wave is not inverted, this is because the point can rise, they form a maximum at this point.

In the proposed case the shock is when the thickness changes, in this case we have the above phenomena, a part of the wave is reflected by being inverted and a part of the wave is transmitted without inverting.

The amplitude sum of the amplitudes of the two waves is proportional to the lanería that is distributed between them.

When checking the answers the correct one is the reflected wave is inverted and the transmitted wave is up
