Answer:

Time elapsed

Explanation:

Acceleration is a vector quantity. It is defined as:

$a=\frac{v-u}{t}$

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

t is the time elapsed

Acceleration is measured in meters per second squared (m/s^2). It must be noticed that acceleration is a vector, so it also has a direction. In particular:

- when acceleration is negative, it means that the object is slowing down, so acceleration is in opposite direction to the velocity

- when acceleration is positive, it means that the object is speeding up, so acceleration is in the same direction as the velocity

You drop a steel ball bearing, with a radius of 2.40 mm, into a beaker of honey. Note that honey has a viscosity of 6.00 Pa/s an

Stells [14]

Answer:

The “terminal speed” of the ball bearing is 5.609 m/s

Explanation:

Radius of the steel ball R = 2.40 mm

Viscosity of honey η = 6.0 Pa/s

$\text { Viscosity has Density } \sigma=1360 \mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}$

$\text { Steel has a density } \rho=7800 \mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}$

$\left.\mathrm{g}=9.8 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2} \text { (g is referred to as the acceleration of gravity. Its value is } 9.8 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2} \text { on Earth }\right)$

While calculating the terminal speed in liquids where density is high the stokes law is used for viscous force and buoyant force is taken into consideration for effective weight of the object. So the expression for terminal speed (Vt)

$V_{t}=\frac{2 \mathrm{R}^{2}(\rho-\sigma) \mathrm{g}}{9 \eta}$

Substitute the given values to find "terminal speed"

$\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{t}}=\frac{2 \times 0.0024^{2}(7800-1360) 9.8}{9 \times 6}$

$\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{t}}=\frac{0.0048 \times 6440 \times 9.8}{54}$

$\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{t}}=\frac{302.9376}{54}$

$\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{t}}=5.609 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$

The “terminal speed” of the ball bearing is 5.609 m/s

Fellow student of mathematical bent tells you that the wave function of a traveling wave on a thin rope is y(x,t)= 2.20 mm cos[(

bezimeni [28]

Answer

given,

y(x,t)= 2.20 mm cos[( 7.02 rad/m )x+( 743 rad/s )t]

length of the rope = 1.33 m

mass of the rope = 3.31 g

comparing the given equation from the general wave equation

y(x,t)= A cos[k x+ω t]

A is amplitude

now on comparing

a) Amplitude = 2.20 mm

b) frequency =

$f = \dfrac{\omega}{2\pi}$

$f = \dfrac{743}{2\pi}$

f = 118.25 Hz

c) wavelength

$k= \dfrac{2\pi}{\lambda}$

$\lambda= \dfrac{2\pi}{k}$

$\lambda= \dfrac{2\pi}{7.02}$

$\lambda= 0.895\ m$

d) speed

$v = \dfrac{\omega}{k}$

$v = \dfrac{743}{7.02}$

v = 105.84 m/s

e) direction of the motion will be in negative x-direction

f) tension

$T = \dfrac{v^2\ m}{L}$

$T = \dfrac{(105.84)^2\times 3.31 \times 10^{-3}}{1.33}$

T = 27.87 N

g) Power transmitted by the wave

$P = \dfrac{1}{2}m\ v \omega^2\ A^2$

$P = \dfrac{1}{2}\times 0.00331\times 105.84\times 743^2\ 0.0022^2$

P = 0.438 W

defon

Complete question:

A 200 g load attached to a horizontal spring moves in simple harmonic motion with a period of 0.410 s. The total mechanical energy of the spring–load system is 2.00 J. Find

(a) the force constant of the spring and (b) the amplitude of the motion.

Answer:

(a) the force constant of the spring = 47 N/m

(b) the amplitude of the motion = 0.292 m

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the spring, m = 200g = 0.2 kg

period of oscillation, T = 0.410 s

total mechanical energy of the spring, E = 2 J

The angular speed is calculated as follows;

$\omega = \frac{2\pi}{T} \\\\\omega = \frac{2\pi}{0.41} \\\\\omega = 15.33 \ rad/s$

(a) the force constant of the spring

$\omega = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} } \\\\\omega^2 = \frac{k}{m} \\\\k = m \omega^2\\\\k = (0.2)(15.33)^2\\\\k = 47 \ N/m$

(b) the amplitude of the motion

E = ¹/₂kA²

2E = kA²

A² = 2E/k

$A = \sqrt{\frac{2E}{k} } \\\\A = \sqrt{\frac{2\times 2}{47} }\\\\A = 0.292 \ m$
