Explanation:
Show that the motion of a mass attached to the end of a spring is SHM
Consider a mass "m" attached to the end of an elastic spring. The other end of the spring is fixed
at the a firm support as shown in figure "a". The whole system is placed on a smooth horizontal surface.
If we displace the mass 'm' from its mean position 'O' to point "a" by applying an external force, it is displaced by '+x' to its right, there will be elastic restring force on the mass equal to F in the left side which is applied by the spring.
According to "Hook's Law
F = - Kx ---- (1)
Negative sign indicates that the elastic restoring force is opposite to the displacement.
Where K= Spring Constant
If we release mass 'm' at point 'a', it moves forward to ' O'. At point ' O' it will not stop but moves forward towards point "b" due to inertia and covers the same displacement -x. At point 'b' once again elastic restoring force 'F' acts upon it but now in the right side. In this way it continues its motion
from a to b and then b to a.
According to Newton's 2nd law of motion, force 'F' produces acceleration 'a' in the body which is given by
F = ma ---- (2)
Comparing equation (1) & (2)
ma = -kx
Here k/m is constant term, therefore ,
a = - (Constant)x
or
a a -x
This relation indicates that the acceleration of body attached to the end elastic spring is directly proportional to its displacement. Therefore its motion is Simple Harmonic Motion.
Start by facing East. Your first displacement is the vector
<em>d</em>₁ = (225 m) <em>i</em>
Turning 90º to the left makes you face North, and walking 350 m in this direction gives the second displacement,
<em>d</em>₂ = (350 m) <em>j</em>
Turning 30º to the right would have you making an angle of 60º North of East, so that walking 125 m gives the third displacement,
<em>d</em>₃ = (125 m) (cos(60º) <em>i</em> + sin(60º) <em>j</em> )
<em>d</em>₃ ≈ (62.5 m) <em>i</em> + (108.25 m) <em>j</em>
The net displacement is
<em>d</em> = <em>d</em>₁ + <em>d</em>₂ + <em>d</em>₃
<em>d</em> ≈ (287.5 m) <em>i</em> + (458.25 m) <em>j</em>
and its magnitude is
|| <em>d</em> || = √[ (287.5 m)² + (458.25 m)² ] ≈ 540.973 m ≈ 541 m
Star 1 - 4 hours right ascension
Star 2 - 3 hours right ascension
Subtracting hours right ascension
4 hours right ascension - 3 hours right ascension = 1 hours right ascension.
Thus,
star 1 will rise 1 hour before star 2
If you heat that air by 100 degrees F, it weighs about 7 grams less. Therefore, each cubic foot of air contained in a hot air balloon can lift about 7 grams. That's not much, and this is why hot air balloons are so huge -- to lift 1,000 pounds, you need about 65,000 cubic feet of hot air.
Answer:
A. The electric field points to the left because the force on a negative charge is opposite to the direction of the field.
Explanation:
The electric force exerted on a charge by an electric field is given by:
where
F is the force
q is the charge
E is the electric field
We see that if the charge is negative, q contains a negative sign, so the force F and the electric field E will have opposite signs (which means they have opposite directions). This is due to the fact that the direction of the lines of an electric field shows the direction of the electric force experienced by a positive charge in that electric field: therefore, a negative charge will experience a force into opposite direction.
