You attach a 3.10 kg weight to a horizontal spring that is fixed at one end. You pull the weight until the spring is stretched b

y 0.100 m and release it from rest. Assume the weight slides on a horizontal surface with negligible friction. The weight reaches a speed of zero again 0.400 s after release (for the first time after release). What is the maximum speed of the weight (in m/s)? m/s

Answer:

0.785 m/s

Explanation:

Hi!

To solve this problem we will use the equation of motion of the harmonic oscillator, <em>i.e.</em>

x(t) = A cos(\omega t )+B sin(\omega t) - (1)

\frac{dx}{dt}(t) = \omega (B cos(\omega t )- A sin(\omega t) - (1)

The problem say us that the spring is released from rest when the spring is stretched by 0.100 m, this condition is given as:

x(0) = 0.100

\frac{dx}{dt}(0) = 0

Since cos(0)=1 and sin(0) = 0:

x(0)=A

\frac{dx}{dt}(0) = -B\omega

We get

A =0.100\\B = 0

Now it say that after 0.4s the weigth reaches zero speed. This will happen when the sping shrinks by 0.100. This condition is written as:

x(0.4) = - 0.100

Since

x(t) = 0.100 cos(\omega t)\\ -0.100=x(0.4)=0.100cos(\omega 0.4)

This is the same as:

-1 = cos(0.4\omega)

We know that cosine equals to -1 when its argument is equal to:

(2n+1)π

With n an integer

The first time should happen when n=0

Therefore:

π = 0.4ω

or

ω = π/0.4  -- (2)

Now, the maximum speed will be reached when the potential energy is zero, <em>i.e. </em>when the sping is not stretched, that is when x = 0

With this info we will know at what time it happens:

0 = x(t) = 0.100cos(\omega t)

The first time that the cosine is equal to zero is when its argument is equal to π/2

<em>i.e.</em>

t_{maxV}=\pi /(2\omega)

And the velocity at that time is:

\frac{dx}{dt}(t_{maxV} ) =- 0.100\omega sin(\omega t_{maxV})\\\frac{dx}{dt}(t_{maxV} ) =- 0.100\omega sin(\pi/2)\\

But sin(π/2) = 1.

Therefore, using eq(2):

\frac{dx}{dt}(t_{maxV} ) = 0.100*\omega = 0.100\frac{\pi}{0.400} = \pi/4

And so:

V_{max} = \pi / 4 =0.785

What is the relationship between area, force, and pressure? what is the relationship between area, force, and pressure? pressure
White raven [17]
Mathematically, relation between force, area and pressure is given by...
Pressure = force / area


hence, pressure is directly proportional to force but inversely proportional to area.

3. What is electric current?<br> The flow of moving electrons<br><br> electrons that move one time
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

An electric current is a stream of charged particles, such as electrons or ions, moving through an electrical conductor or space. It is measured as the net rate of flow of electric charge through a surface or into a control volume. ... In electric circuits the charge carriers are often electrons moving through a wire.
