A metal ball attached to a spring moves in simple harmonic motion. The amplitude of the ball's motion is 11.0 cm, and the spring

constant is 5.50 N/m. When the ball is halfway between its equilibrium position and its maximum displacement from equilibrium, its speed is 27.2 cm/s.(a) What is the mass of the ball (in kg)?(b) What is the period of oscillation (in s)?(c) What is the maximum acceleration of the ball? (Enter the magnitude in m/s2.)

Answer:

a)0.674 kg b) 2.2 s c) 0.9 m/s²

Explanation:

The amplitude of the ball (xo) = 11.0cm, half way between its equilibrium point its maximum displacement x = 11 cm / 2 = 5.5 cm = 5.5 / 100 in meters = 0.055 meters, speed at this point = 27.2 cm /s = (27.2 / 100) in m/s = 0.272 m/s,

spring constant K = 5.5 N/m

a) The mass of the ball (m) can be calculated using the formula below

v =√ (x²o - x²)K/m

make m subject of the formula

v² = (xo² - x²) K/m

m = K ( xo² - x²) / v²

m = 0.674kg

b) The period of the oscillation can be calculated by the following formula

T = 2π√ (m /K)

substitute the values into the formula

T = 2 × 3.142 × √ (0.674/ 5.5) = 2.2s

c) The maximum acceleration of the ball which occurs at the maximum displacement of the ball can be calculated by the following formula

a = K / m × x ( maximum displacement of the body) = 5.5 / 0.674 × 0.11 = 0.9 m/s²

The third floor of a house is 8m above street level. How much work is needed to move a 136kg refrigerator to the third floor?
jonny [76]

m = Mass of the refrigerator to be moved to third floor = 136 kg

g = Acceleration due to gravity by earth on the refrigerator being moved = 9.8 m/s²

h = Height to which the refrigerator is moved  = 8 m

W = Work done in lifting the object

Work done in lifting the object is same as the gravitational potential energy gained by the refrigerator. hence

Work done = Gravitation potential energy of refrigerator

W = m g h

inserting the values

W = (136) (9.8) (8)

W = 10662.4 J

A race car drives one lap around a race track that is 500 meters in length.
pychu [463]

Explanation:

Check out the picture I drew for a minute before reading this...

B. Distance [the red line] is a scalar quantity reflecting how far an object has traveled. Displacement [the green line] is a vector quantity reflecting how far an object has moved from a point. The key difference is that distance can be any sort of path while displacement is always a vector (or a straight line) between a starting point and a finishing point. Sometimes distance and displacement are equal to one another. Sometimes you have a distance traveled, but zero displacement overall; which is what's going on in your question.

A. The distance that the racecar traveled is indeed 500m. But at the end of the lap, it is right back where it started. So overall, it has been displaced 0m.

The Coriolis effect is the result of which of these?
Anarel [89]
The coriolis effect was discovered in the 19th century by Gaspard. C. Coriolis. It simply relates to anything that moves freely on the surface of the earth including apparent curvature global winds and ocean currents.
This curvature is mainly due to the rotation of the earth around its axis.

Answer:
<span>A.) The rotation of Earth on its axis</span>
