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

How will unbalanced forces affect the speed and direction of an object
azamat

Answer:

Explanation:

Unbalanced forces will result in the presence of acceleration. The formula

F net = ma

says that if there is a net force present and the object in question has a mass, then an acceleration is present. Now acceleration is constant in this situation because nowhere does it say the acceleration is changing. If acceleration is constant then the velocity is increasing at a steady pace (think linear function!).

The direction of the object depends on the direction that the net force is in. If the net force is to the left, then that object will accelerate to the left.

Hope this helps :)

Regions in the milky way where density waves have caused gas clouds to crash into each other are called clumps.Clumps are molecular clouds (interstellar clouds) with higher density,where lots of dust and gs cores resides. These clouds are the beginning of stars.

When air resistance is ignored, _____ of the projectile affect(s) the range and maximum height of the projectile.
FromTheMoon [43]

When air resistance is ignored, initial velocity of the projectile affect the range and maximum height of the projectile.

Projectile is a missile designed to be fired from a rocket or gun.

A projectile is the object that is propelled by the application of an external force and then moves freely under the influence of gravity and air resistance.

The range is defined as the distance between the launch point and the point where the projectile hits the ground.

The height from the ground at the top most position of projectile is referred to as maximum height.

When air resistance is ignored, initial velocity of the projectile affect the range and maximum height of the projectile.
