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

An upward force act on a proton as it moves with a speed of 2.0 x 10^5 meters/seconds through a magnetic field of 8.5 x 10^2
Gekata [30.6K]

Force on a moving charge is given by formula

\vec F = q(\vec v \times \vec B)

here we know that this force will be maximum when velocity is perpendicular to magnetic field

\vec F = qvB

here we know that

v = 2.0 \times 10^5 m/s

q = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} C

B = 8.5 \times 10^2 T

now we have

F = (1.6 \times 10^{-19})(2 \times 10^5)(8.5 \times 10^2)

F = 2.72 \times 10^{-11} N

A circuit contains two resistors in series. The voltage drop across the first is 10 V. The voltage drop across the second is als
Norma-Jean [14]

Hi there!

Voltage in a series can be expressed by the following:

V_T = V_1 + V_2

In words, the total voltage is equal to the sum of the individual voltage drops in a SERIES circuit.

We can solve for the total voltage:

V_T = 10 + 10 = \boxed{\text{ D. 20 V}}

A cart is pulled by a force of 250 N at an angle of 35° above the horizontal. The cart accelerates at 1.4 m/s2. The free-body di
Vikki [24]

Answer:

Mass of the cart = 146 kg

Explanation:

A cart is pulled by a force of 250 N at an angle of 35° above the horizontal.

The cart accelerates at 1.4 m/s² horizontally.

Horizontal force = Fcosθ = 250 cos35° = 204.79N

We have F = ma

Substituting

        204.79 = m x 1.4  

              m = 146.28 kg = 146 kg

Mass of the cart = 146 kg
