The 3.0 kg object below is released from rest at a height of 5.0 m on a curved frictionless ramp. At the foot of the ramp is a s

pring of force constant k = 500 N/m. The object slides down the ramp and into the spring, compressing it a distance x before coming momentarily to rest. a) Find x. b) what happens to the object after it comes to rest?

Answer:

a) The compressing distance is 0.8 m.

b) After the object comes to rest, it will be released with an initial speed of 7.1 m/s and will reach a height of 5.0 m.

Explanation:

Hi there!

a)Initially, the object has only gravitational potential energy that is calculated as follows:

PE = m· g · h

Where:

PE = potential energy.

m = mass.

g = acceleration due to gravity.

h = height.

Then:

PE = 3.0 kg · 9.8 m/s² · 5.0 m = 1.5 × 10² J

When the object reaches the spring and compresses it, all that potential energy is converted into elastic potential energy (there is no energy dissipation as heat because there is no friction). The elastic potential energy is calculated as follows:

EPE = 1/2 · k · x²

Then, the elastic potential energy is equal to the initial gravitational energy:

PE = EPE = 1.5 × 10² J = 1/2 · 500 N/m · x²

Solving for x:

1.5 × 10² Nm / (1/2 · 500 N /m) = x²

0.6 m² = x²

x = 0.8 m

The compressing distance is 0.8 m.

b) After the object comes to rest, the object will be released with a kinetic energy equal to the elastic potential energy. We can calculate the initial velocity of the object after it is released with the following equation:

KE = 1/2 · m · v²

Where:

KE = kinetic energy.

m = mass.

v = speed.

Since initially EPE = KE:

1.5 × 10² J = 3.0 kg · v²

√( 1.5 × 10² J / 3.0 kg) = v

v = 7.1 m/s

Then, after the object comes to rest, it will be released with an initial speed of 7.1 m/s and will reach a height of 5.0 m.

Blababa [14]

Answer:

Part a)

Average EMF for half cycle is

E_{avg} = 2.64 V

Part b)

For one complete cycle we will have

E_{avg} = 0

Part c)

Maximum induced EMF will be at

t = 0.025 s and 0.075 s

minimum induced EMF is at

t = 0.05s and 0.1 s

Explanation:

As we know that magnetic field is oscillating in direction as well as magnitude

so induced EMF is given as

E = NBA\omega sin(\omega t)

Part a)

For average value of EMF from positive maximum to negative maximum which is equal to half cycle

so we have

E_{avg} = NBA\omega \frac{2}{T}\int_0^{T/2} sin(\omega t) dt

E_{avg} = \frac{2NBA\omega}{\pi}

E_{avg} = \frac{2(10)(0.12)(0.055)(2\pi (10))}{\pi}

E_{avg} = 2.64 V

Part b)

For one complete cycle we will have

E_{avg} = NBA\omega \frac{1}{T}\int_0^T sin(\omega t) dt

E_{avg} = 0

Part c)

Maximum induced EMF will be at

t = \frac{T}{4} and \frac{3T}{4}

here we know

T = \frac{1}{f} = 0.1 s

t = 0.025 s and 0.075 s

minimum induced EMF is at

t = \frac{T}{2} and T

so it is

t = 0.05s and 0.1 s

Spurs"" are probably the result of ____.

Spurs are probably the result of <u>self-sustaining</u> <u>star formation.</u>

<h3>What is the formation of gaseous spurs in spiral galaxies?</h3>

The gigantic form of the magnificent doppelganger spiral patterns that spiral outward from the galactic cores gave spiral galaxies their name. These light arms of spiral galaxies are frequently seen in optical pictures to be speckled with bright star-forming areas at regular intervals.

Smaller structures spread forth and rearward into the interarm area from each major spiral arm. Spiral-arm also known as spurs are the name given to these substructures. Sometimes the spurs are also filled with star-forming clusters. As a consequence, we may draw the conclusion that spurs most likely emerge from self-sustaining star formation.
