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

From the following statements about mechanical waves, identify those that are true for transverse mechanical waves only, those t
Dominik [7]

'In transverse waves, the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the flow of energy' is true for transverse waves only.

'In longitudinal waves, the particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the flow of energy' is true for longitudinal waves only.

'Many wave motions in nature are a combination of longitudinal and transverse motion' is true for both longitudinal and transverse waves.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Longitudinal waves are those where the direction of propagation of particles are parallel to the medium' particles. While transverse waves propagate perpendicular to the medium' particles.

As wave motions are assumed to be of standing waves which comprises of particles moving parallel as well as perpendicular to the medium, most of the wave motions are composed of longitudinal and transverse motion.

So the option stating the medium' particle moves perpendicular to the direction of the energy flow is true for transverse waves. Similarly, the option stating the medium' particle moves parallel to the direction of flow of energy is true for longitudinal waves only.

And the option stating that wave motions comprises of combination of longitudinal and transverse motion is true for both of them.

A sample contains 36 g of a radioactive isotope. How much radioactive isotope remains in the sample after 3 half-lives?
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

<u>Option "C":</u> "4.5 g"

Explanation:

N0 = 36 g, Let half-life is T.

t = 3 T, n is number of half lives = t / T = 3

<u>By using the decay law of radioactivity</u>

N / N0 = (1 / 2)^n

where

"N0" be the "initial amount"

"N" be the "amount left"

"n" be the "number of half-lives"

N / 36 = (1/2)^3

N / 36 = 1 / 8

N = 36 / 8 = 4.5 g

Strike441 [17]

Answer:

This question can be answered by using conversation of energy.

K_1 + U_1 = K_2 + U_2

\frac{1}{2}mv_{0}^2 + mgh_1 = 0 + mgh_2

\frac{1}{2}(3)v_0^2 + (3)(9.8)(30) = (3)(9.8)(45)\\\frac{1}{2}(3)v_0^2 = 441\\v_0^2 = 294\\v_0 = 17.14 m/s

Explanation:

Note that we take K_2 = 0 because we are looking for the minimum initial speed for the penguin to reach the top of the second hill. Any other speed more than this will already be enough for him.
