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

Which of the following represents the velocity of an object?
mr_godi [17]

Answer:Velocity can be represented by an arrow, with the length of the arrow representing speed and the way the arrow points representing direction. Objects have the same velocity only if they are moving at the same speed and in the same direction. ... The SI unit for velocity is m/s, plus the direction the object is traveling.

The three components of velocity in a velocity field are given by u = Ax + By + Cz, v = Dx + Ey + Fz, and w = Gx + Hy + Jz. Dete
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

The relationship is only between the coefficients A, E and J which is:

A + E + J = 0. The remaining coefficients can be anything without any constraints.

Explanation:

Given:

The three components of velocity is a velocity field are given as:

u = Ax + By + Cz\\\\v = Dx + Ey + Fz\\\\w = Gx + Hy + Jz

The fluid is incompressible.

We know that, for an incompressible fluid flow, the sum of the partial derivatives of each component relative to its direction is always 0. Therefore,

\frac{\partial u}{\partial x}+\frac{\partial v}{\partial y}+\frac{\partial w}{\partial z}=0

Now, let us find the partial derivative of each component.

\frac{\partial u}{\partial x}=\frac{\partial }{\partial x}(Ax+By+Cz)\\\\\frac{\partial u}{\partial x}=A+0+0=A\\\\\frac{\partial v}{\partial y}=\frac{\partial }{\partial y}(Dx+Ey+Fz)\\\\\frac{\partial v}{\partial y}=0+E+0=E\\\\\frac{\partial w}{\partial z}=\frac{\partial }{\partial z}(Gx+Hy+Jz)\\\\\frac{\partial w}{\partial z}=0+0+J=J

Hence, the relationship between the coefficients is:

A+E+J=0

There is no such constraints on other coefficients. So, we can choose any value for the remaining coefficients B, C, D, F, G and H.

The time constant for RC circuit with the values of R1 and C1 is 5ms. What will be the time constant for a new RC circuit with t
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

d. 25 ms

Explanation:

  • In a RC circuit we call time constant to the product of the resistance times the capacitance, which represents the time when the charge reaches to the 63% of the final value, as follows:

       \tau_{1} = R_{1} *C_{1}  = 5 ms (1)

  • If we have a new circuit with new values for R and C, the time constant will be defined in the same way, as follows:

       \tau_{2} =10* R_{1} *0.5*C_{1}  = 5*(R_{1}* C_{1}) = 5* \tau_{1} = 5* 5 ms = 25 ms (2)

A change in which property of light will have no effect on whether or not the photoelectric effect occurs??? Frequently energy i
MaRussiya [10]
The intensity of the light has no connection with the photoelectric effect.

That's what was so baffling about it before the particle nature of light
was suspected ... a match with a blue flame might stimulate the
photoelectric effect, but a high-power red searchlight couldn't do it.
