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

. If she
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

9 meters

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of Avi is, m=40\ kg

Spring constant is, k=176,400\ N/m

Compression in the spring is, x=20\ cm=0.20\ m

Let the maximum height reached be 'h' m.

Now, as the spring is compressed, there is elastic potential energy stored in the spring. This elastic potential energy is transferred to Avi in the form of gravitational potential energy.

So, by law of conservation of energy, decrease in elastic potential energy is equal to increase in gravitational potential energy.

Decrease in elastic potential energy is given as:

EPE=\frac{1}{2}kx^2\\EPE=\frac{1}{2}\times 176400\times (0.20)^2\\EPE=88200\times 0.04=3528\ J

Now, increase in gravitational potential energy is given as:

GPE=mgh=40\times 9.8\times h=392h

Now, increase in gravitational potential energy is equal decrease in elastic potential energy. Therefore,

392h=3528\\\\h=\frac{3528}{392}\\\\h=9\ m

Therefore, Avi will reach a maximum height of 9 meters.

How are magnets used in modern technology?
slava [35]
Magnets are used to make a tight seal on the doors to refrigerators and freezers. They power speakers in stereos, earphones, and televisions. Magnets are used to store data in computers, and are important in scanning machines called MRIs (magnetic resonance imagers), which doctors use to look inside people's bodies.

Gravity and Electromagnetic force

Differences between gravitational and electromagnetic radiation

So far we have been emphasizing how, at a fundamental level, the generation and propagation of gravitational and electromagnetic radiation are basically quite similar. This is a major point in demystifying gravitational waves. But, on a more practical level, gravitational and electromagnetic waves are quite different: we see and use electromagnetic waves every day, while we have yet to make a confirmed direct detection of gravitational waves (which is why they seemed so mysterious in the first place).

There are two principal differences between gravity and electromagnetism, each with its own set of consequences for the nature and information content of its radiation, as described below.

<span><span><span>Gravity is a weak force, but has only one sign of charge.
Electromagnetism is much stronger, but comes in two opposing signs of charge.</span>
This is the most significant difference between gravity and electromagnetism, and is the main reason why we perceive these two phenomena so differently. It has several immediate consequences:<span>Significant gravitational fields are generated by accumulating bulk concentrations of matter. Electromagnetic fields are generated by slight imbalances caused by small (often microscopic) separations of charge.<span>Gravitational waves, similarly, are generated by the bulk motion of large masses, and will have wavelengths much longer than the objects themselves. Electromagnetic waves, meanwhile, are typically generated by small movements of charge pairs within objects, and have wavelengths much smaller than the objects themselves.</span><span>Gravitational waves are weakly interacting, making them extraordinarily difficult to detect; at the same time, they can travel unhindered through intervening matter of any density or composition. Electromagnetic waves are strongly interacting with normal matter, making them easy to detect; but they are readily absorbed or scattered by intervening matter. 

</span><span>Gravitational waves give holistic, sound-like information about the overall motions and vibrations of objects. Electromagnetic waves give images representing the aggregate properties of microscopic charges at the surfaces of objects.</span></span>
</span><span><span>Gravitational charge is equivalent to inertia.
Electromagnetic charge is unrelated to inertia. </span>
This is the more fundamental difference between electromagnetism and gravity, and influences many of the details of gravitational radiation, but in itself is not responsible for the dramatic differences in how we perceive these two types of radiation. Most of the consequences of the principle of equivalence in gravity have already be discussed, such as:<span><span>The fundamental field of gravity is a gravitational force gradient (or tidal) field, and requires an apparatus spread out over some distance in order to detect it. The fundamental field in electromagnetism is an electric force field, which can be felt by individual charges within an apparatus.</span><span>The dominant mode of gravitational radiation is quadrupolar: it has a quadratic dependence on the positions of the generating charges, and causes a relative "shearing" of the positions of receiving charges. The dominant mode of electromagnetic radiation is dipolar: it has a linear dependence on the positions of the generating charges, and creates a relative translation of the positions of receiving charges.</span></span></span></span>

12 seconds after starting from rest a frewly falling cantaloupe has a speed of
adoni [48]

Answer:

<em>The cantaloupe has a speed of 117.6 m/s</em>

Explanation:

<u>Free Fall Motion</u>

It occurs when an object falls under the sole influence of gravity. Any object that is being acted upon solely by the force of gravity is said to be in a state of free fall. Free-falling objects do not face air resistance.

If an object is dropped from rest in a free-falling motion, it falls with a constant acceleration called the acceleration of gravity, which value is g = 9.8 m/s^2.

The final velocity of a free-falling object after a time t is given by:

vf=g.t

The cantaloupe has been dropped from rest. We are required to find the speed after t=12 seconds.

Calculate the final speed:

vf=9.8 * 12 = 117.6 m/s

The cantaloupe has a speed of 117.6 m/s
