A particle of mass 4.00 kg is attached to a spring with a force constant of 100 N/m. It is oscillating on a frictionless, horizo

ntal surface with an amplitude of 2.00 m. A 6.00-kg object is dropped vertically on top of the 4.00-kg object as it passes through its equilibrium point. The two objects stick together.
a. Does the amplitude of the vibrating system increase or decrease as a result of the collision? By how much does the amplitude of the vibrating system change as a result of the collision?
b. How does the period change? By how much does the period change?
c. How does the mechanical energy of the system change? By how much does the energy change?
d. Account for the change in energy.

Answer:

a. A = 0.735 m

b. T = 0.73 s

c. ΔE = 120 J decrease

d. The missing energy has turned into interned energy in the completely inelastic collision

Explanation:

a.

4 kg * 10 m /s + 6 kg * 0 m/s = 10 kg* vmax

vmax = 4.0 m/s

¹/₂ * m * v²max = ¹/₂ * k * A²

m * v² = k * A²  ⇒ 10 kg * 4 m/s = 100 N/m * A²

A = √1.6 m ² = 1.26 m

At = 2.0 m - 1.26 m = 0.735 m

b.

T = 2π * √m / k ⇒ T = 2π * √4.0 kg / 100 N/m = 1.26 s

T = 2π *√ 10 / 100 *s² = 1.99 s

T = 1.99 s -1.26 s = 0.73 s

c.

E = ¹/₂ * m * v²max =

E₁ = ¹/₂ * 4.0 kg * 10² m/s = 200 J

E₂ = ¹/₂ * 10 * 4² = 80 J

200 J - 80 J  = 120 J decrease

d.

The missing energy has turned into interned energy in the completely inelastic collision

The multiple reflection of a single sound wave is a/an
ANTONII [103]

A single reflection, like shouting at the side of a mountain and hearing
your voice come back to you, is an 'echo'.

Multiple reflection, like clapping your hands once inside a large room,
is 'reverberation'.

You are performing a double slit experiment very similar to the one from DL by shining a laser on two nattow slits spaced 7.5 x
Blizzard [7]

Complete Question

You are performing a double slit experiment very similar to the one from DL by shining a laser on two nattow slits spaced 7.5 * 10^{-3} meters apart. However, by placing a piece of crystal in one of the slits, you are able to make it so that the rays of light that travel through the two slits are Ï out of phase with each other (that is to say, Ao,- ). If you observe that on a screen placed 4 meters from the two slits that the distance between the bright spot closest to center of the pattern is 1.5 cm, what is the wavelength of the laser?

Answer:

The  wavelength is  \lambda  =  56250 nm

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  distance of slit separation is  d =  7.5 *10^{-3} \  m

   The  distance of the screen is  D =  4 \  m

    The  distance between the bright spot closest to the center of the interference  is  k   = 1.5 \ cm = 0.015 \  m

   

Generally the width of the central  maximum fringe produced is mathematically represented as

        y  =  2 *  k  = \frac{ D  *  \lambda}{d}

  =>    2 *  0.015 =  \frac{ \lambda  *  4}{ 7.5 *10^{-3}}

   =>   \lambda  =  56250 *10^{-9} \ m

=>      \lambda  =  56250 nm

What evidence is there that the Universe began in a big bang?<br><br>​
NeTakaya

Answer: For me personally i have a Biblical faith and first of all there is evidence that looks convincing that the big bang made the universe, but man wants answers and God in the Bible says he created the universe for us it is hard to believe it but i have faith.
