Question 2: Sliding block (8 points) A block of mass m is attached to a wall with a spring and is free to slide on a horizontal,

frictionless surface. The block is initially pulled a distance x0 from its equilibrium position and is released from rest. (a) [3 points] Question: Determine the position x of the block at which the magnitude of its acceleration is maximal. Justify your answer. Answer: (b) [2 points] Question: If the block were pulled a distance 2x0 from its equilibrium position and then released, would the oscillation period T decrease, increase or remain the same

Answer:

a. X = -Xo

b. Remains same

Explanation:

We can say an Equilibrium Position is a condition in which all acting influences are canceled by others, resulting in a stable, balanced, or unchanging system

A golf ball is hit horizontally off the edge of a 30 m high cliff and lands a distance of 25 m from the edge of the cliff. What
Ratling [72]

Answer:

V₀y = 0 m/s

t = 2.47 s

V₀ₓ = 61.86 m/s

Vₓ = 61.86 m/s

Explanation:

Since, the ball is hit horizontally, there is no vertical component of velocity at initial point. So, the initial vertical velocity (V₀y) will beL

<u>V₀y = 0 m/s</u>

For the initial vertical velocity of golf ball we consider the vertical motion and apply 2nd equation of motion:

Y = V₀y*t + (0.5)gt²

where,

Y = Height = 30 m

g = 9.8 m/s²

t = time to hit the ground = ?

Therefore,

30 m = (0 m/s)(t) + (0.5)(9.8 m/s²)t²

t² = 30 m/4.9 m/s²

t = √6.122 s²

<u>t = 2.47 s</u>

For initial vertical velocity we analyze the horizontal motion of the ball. We neglect the frictional effects in horizontal motion thus the speed remains uniform. Hence,

V₀ₓ = Xt

where,

V₀ₓ = Initial vertical Velocity = ?

X = Horizontal Distance = 25 m

Therefore,

V₀ₓ = (25 m)(2.47 s)

<u>V₀ₓ = 61.86 m/s</u>

<u></u>

Due, to uniform motion in horizontal direction:

Final Vertical Velocity = Vₓ = V₀ₓ

Vₓ = 61.86 m/s

A bird is flying due east. Its distance from a tall building is given by x(t) = 28.0 m + (12.4 m/s)t – (0.0450 m/s3)t3. What is
Kruka [31]

Answer:

3.76 m/s

Explanation:

Instantaneous velocity: This can be defined as the velocity of an object in a non uniform motion. The S.I unit is m/s.

v' = dx(t)/dt..................... Equation 1

Where v' = instantaneous velocity, x = distance, t = time.

Given the expression,

x(t) = 28.0 m + (12.4 m/s)t - (0.0450 m/s³)t³

x(t) = 28 + 12.4t - 0.0450t³

Differentiating x(t) with respect to t.

dx(t)/dt = 12.4 - 0.135t²

dx(t)/dt = 12.4 - 0.135t²

When t = 8.00 s.

dx(t)/dt = 12.4 - 0.135(8)²

dx(t)/dt = 12.4 - 8.64

dx(t)/dt = 3.76 m/s.

Therefore,

v' = 3.76 m/s.

Hence, the instantaneous velocity = 3.76 m/s
