A 23.3-kg mass is attached to one end of a horizontal spring, with the other end of the spring fixed to a wall. The mass is pull

ed away from the equilibrium position (x = 0) a distance of 17.5 cm and released. It then oscillates in simple harmonic motion with a frequency of 8.38 Hz. What is the mass’s maximum speed during this motion?

In spring mass system we know that angular frequency is given as

$\omega = 2\pi f$

f = 8.38 Hz

$\omega = 2\pi(8.38)$

$\omega = 52.65 rad/s$

now we know that speed of SHM at its extreme position is given by

$v = A\omega$

here we know that

A = 17.5 cm

$v = 0.175 (52.65)$

$v = 9.21 m/s$

so maximum speed is 9.21 m/s

At a certain location, wind is blowing steadily at 9 m/s. Determine the mechanical energy of air per unit mass and the power gen

Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

The specific mechanical energy of the air in the specific location is 40.5 J/kg.
The power generation potential of the wind turbine at such place is of 2290 kW
The actual electric power generation is 687 kW

Explanation:

The mechanical energy of the air per unit mass is the specific kinetic energy of the air that is calculated using: $\frac{1}{2} V^2$ where V is the velocity of the air.
The specific kinetic energy would be: $\frac{1}{2}(9\frac{m}{s})^2=40.5\frac{m^2}{s^2}=40.5\frac{m^2 }{s^2}\frac{kg}{kg}=40.5\frac{N*m }{kg}=40.5\frac{J}{kg}$ .
The power generation of the wind turbine would be obtained from the product of the mechanical energy of the air times the mass flow that moves the turbine.
To calculate mass flow it is required first to calculate the volumetric flow. To calculate the volumetric flow the next expression would be: $\frac{V\pi D_{blade}^2}{4} =\frac{9\frac{m}{s}\pi(80m)^2}{4} =45238.9\frac{m^3}{s}$
Then the mass flow is obtain from the volumetric flow times the density of the air: $m_{flow}=1.25\frac{kg}{m^3}45238.9\frac{m^3}{s}=56548.7\frac{kg}{s}$
Then, the Power generation potential is: $40.5\frac{J}{kg} 56548.7\frac{kg}{s} =2290221W=2290.2kW$
The actual electric power generation is calculated using the definition of efficiency: $\eta=\frac{E_P}{E_I}}$ , where η is the efficiency, $E_P$ is the energy actually produced and, $E_I$ is the energy input. Then solving for the energy produced: $E_P=\eta*E_I=0.30*2290kW=687kW$

An electron is placed on a line connecting two fixed point charges of equal charge but the opposite sign. The distance between t

viktelen [127]

Answer:

a) F_net = 6.48 10⁻¹⁸ ( $\frac{1}{x^2} + \frac{1}{(0.300-x)^2}$ ), b) x = 0.15 m

Explanation:

a) In this problem we use that the electric force is a vector, that charges of different signs attract and charges of the same sign repel.

The electric force is given by Coulomb's law

F = $k \frac{q_2q_2}{r^2}$

Since when we have the two negative charges they repel each other and when we fear one negative and the other positive attract each other, the forces point towards the same side, which is why they must be added.

F_net= ∑ F = F₁ + F₂

let's locate a reference system in the load that is on the left side, the distances are

left side - electron r₁ = x

right side -electron r₂ = d-x

let's call the charge of the electron (q) and the fixed charge that has equal magnitude Q

we substitute

F_net = k q Q ( $\frac{1}{r_1^2}+ \frac{1}{r_2^2}$ )

F _net = kqQ ( $\frac{1}{x^2} + \frac{1}{(d-x)^2}$ )

let's substitute the values

F_net = 9 10⁹ 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ 4.50 10⁻⁹ ( $\frac{1}{x^2} + \frac{1}{(0.30-x)^2}$ )

F_net = 6.48 10⁻¹⁸ ( $\frac{1}{x^2} + \frac{1}{(0.300-x)^2}$ )

now we can substitute the value of x from 0.05 m to 0.25 m, the easiest way to do this is in a spreadsheet, in the table the values of the distance (x) and the net force are given

x (m) F (N)

0.05 27.0 10-16

0.10 8.10 10-16

0.15 5.76 10-16

0.20 8.10 10-16

0.25 27.0 10-16

b) in the adjoint we can see a graph of the force against the distance, it can be seen that it has the shape of a parabola with a minimum close to x = 0.15 m

4. A metal fork has a density of 7.8 g/cm ³. Is this fork made up of aluminum?

Morgarella [4.7K]

No, aluminum has a density near 2.7 g/cm^3
<span>7.8 g/cm^3 is near the density of iron (or in the case of a fork, steel).
this is it

How much would a 15.0 kg object weigh on Neptune?

yan [13]

The gravity on Neptune is 11.15 m/s²
the gravity on earth is 9.81 m/s²
divide the Neptune and earth gravity we get 1.13
which means object on neptune is 1.13 heavier than earth
yield, weigh of the object on neptune is 1.13×15=17.04kg

Kiley went 5.7 km/h north and then went 5.8 km/h west. From start to finish, she went 8.1 km/h northwest.

avanturin [10]

5.7 km/h north and 5.8 km/h west are instantaneous velocities, while 8.1 km/h northwest is the average velocity.<span>

The answer choice above is correct.

The instantaneous velocities are the actual </span>velocities while traveling ( the velocity during that instant ). The average velocity is the average of the instantaneous velocities ( the speed in one direction equivalent to the two speeds <span>in different directions ).

I used speed in the explanation because velocity is speed with direction.</span>
