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

a fan acquires a speed of 180 rpm in 4s, starting from rest. calculate the speed of the fan at the end of the 5th second startin
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

225 rpm

Explanation:

The angular acceleration of the fan is given by:

\alpha = \frac{\omega_f - \omega_i}{\Delta t}

where

\omega_f is the final angular speed

\omega_i is the initial angular speed

\Delta t is the time interval

For the fan in this problem,

\omega_i = 0\\\omega_f = 180 rpm\\\Delta t=4 s

Substituting,

\alpha = \frac{180-0}{4}=45 rpm/s

Now we can find the angular speed of the fan at the end of the 5th second, so after t = 5 s. It is given by:

\omega' = \omega_i + \alpha t

where

\omega_i = 0\\\alpha = 45 rpm/s\\t = 5 s

Substituting,

\omega' = 0 + (45)(5)=225 rpm

A car of m = 1200. kg collides with a tree while traveling 60.0 mph. The collision occurs over a time period of 0.0500 seconds.
MrRissso [65]
You may know linear momentum is given by P= mass.velocity. Initially car is moving with some velocity so you know initial momentum of the car. Finally it comes to rest i.e final momentum of the car is 0. According to Newton's second law : Force = change in momentum /time. Applying this you'll get answer as 642840N. Hope it helped you. Revert back to me if you have any questions. Please check out the calculation it might be wrong!
