Answer:
(a) 0.38 m
(b) 2.78 m/s
(c) 0.11 watt
Explanation:
mass, m = 0.3 kg
spring constant, K = 160 N/m
initial compression, d = 12 cm = 01.2 m
initial speed, u = 3 m/s
(a) Let the maximum stretch is y.
Use conservation of energy
Initial potential energy + initial kinetic energy = final potential energy
0.5 x K x d² + 0.5 x m x u² = 0.5 x K x y²
160 x 0.12 x 0.12 + 0.3 x 0.12 x 0.12 = 160 x y²
2.304 + 0.00432 = 160 y²
y = 0.38 m
y = 38 cm
(b) Let v is the maximum speed.
The speed is maximum when the stretch in the spring is zero, so by use of conservation of energy
Initial potential energy + initial kinetic energy = final kinetic energy
0.5 x K x d² + 0.5 x m x u² = 0.5 x m x v²
160 x 0.12 x 0.12 + 0.3 x 0.12 x 0.12 = 0.3 x v²
2.304 + 0.00432 = 0.3 v²
v = 2.78 m/s
(c) The time period of the spring mass system is given by
T = 0.272 second
Energy dissipated per cycle = 0.03 J
Power, P = 0.03 / 0.272 = 0.11 Watt
Answer:
3.75 × 10⁻⁸ N
Explanation:
Given:
Intensity of the electromagnetic wave, I = 150 W/m²
Sides of the board = 25 cm (= 0.25 m) and 30 cm (= 0.30 m)
therefore,
the area of the rectangular box, A = 0.25 × 0.30 = 0.075 m²
Now,
force exerted on the card by the radiation, F =
here,
C is the speed of the light = 3 × 10⁸ m/s
on substituting the respective values, we get
F =
or
F = 3.75 × 10⁻⁸ N
Answer:
Approximately (assuming that the acceleration due to gravity is
.)
Explanation:
Assuming that the weight on this 72-kg skydiver would be
(points downwards.)
Air resistance is supposed to act in the opposite direction of the motion. Since this skydiver is moving downwards, the air resistance on the skydiver would point upwards.
Therefore, the net force on this skydiver should be the difference between the weight and the air resistance on the skydiver:
.
Apply Newton's Second Law of motion to find the acceleration of this skydiver:
.
