A 0.40-kg block is attached to the end of a horizontal ideal spring and rests on a frictionless surface. The block is pulled so

that the spring stretches for 2.0 cm relative to its unstrained length. When the block is released, it moves with an acceleration of 8.0 m/s2. What is the spring constant of the spring

Answer:

160N/m

Explanation:

According to Hooke's law which states that the extension of an elastic material is directly proportional to the applied force provided that the elastic limit is not exceeded. Mathematically,

F = ke where

F is the applied force

k is the spring constant

e is the extension

From the formula k = F/e

Since the body accelerates when the block is released, F = ma according to Newton's second law of motion.

The spring constant k = ma/e where

m is the mass of the block = 0.4kg

a is the acceleration = 8.0m/s²

e is the extension of the spring = 2.0cm = 0.02m

K = 0.4×8/0.02

K = 3.2/0.02

K = 160N/m

The spring constant of the spring is therefore 160N/m

viva [34]

Answer:

3rd order polynomial

Explanation:

Given that the increase in the order of the polynomial the error between the curve fit and measured data will decreases hence  :

The polynomial order that is best to use is the 3rd order polynomial, this is because using a 3rd order polynomial will produce a less variance and a low Bias

A small sphere with mass m is attached to a massless rod of length L that is pivoted at the top, forming a simple pendulum. The
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

a) see attached, a = g sin θ

b)

c)   v = √(2gL (1-cos θ))

Explanation:

In the attached we can see the forces on the sphere, which are the attention of the bar that is perpendicular to the movement and the weight of the sphere that is vertical at all times. To solve this problem, a reference system is created with one axis parallel to the bar and the other perpendicular to the rod, the weight of decomposing in this reference system and the linear acceleration is given by

          Wₓ = m a

          W sin θ = m a

          a = g sin θ

b) The diagram is the same, the only thing that changes is the angle that is less

                θ' = 9/2  θ

             

c) At this point the weight and the force of the bar are in the same line of action, so that at linear acceleration it is zero, even when the pendulum has velocity v, so it follows its path.

The easiest way to find linear speed is to use conservation of energy

Highest point

            Em₀ = mg h = mg L (1-cos tea)

Lowest point

          Emf = K = ½ m v²

          Em₀ = Emf

          g L (1-cos θ) = v² / 2

              v = √(2gL (1-cos θ))

A uniform rod is 2.0 m long. The rod is pivoted about a horizontal, frictionless pin through one end. The moment of inertia of t
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

Angular acceleration = 6.37rad/sec²

Approximately, Angular acceleration =

6.4 rad/sec²

Explanation:

Length of the rod = 2.0m long

Inclination of the rod (horizontal) = 30°

Mass of the rod is not given so we would refer to it as = M

Rotational Inertia of the Rod(I) = 1/3ML²

Angular Acceleration = ?

There is an equation that shows us the relationship between Torque and Angular acceleration.

The equation is :

Torque(T) = Inertia × Angular Acceleration

Angular acceleration = Torque ÷ Inertia

Where:

Torque = L/2(MgCosθ)

Where M = Mass

L = Length = 2.0m

θ = Inclination of the rod (horizontal) = 30°

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81m/s²

Inertia = 1/3ML²

Angular Acceleration =  (Mass × g × Cos (30°) × (L÷2)) ÷ 1/3ML²

Angular Acceleration =

(3 × g × cos 30°) ÷ 2× L

Angular Acceleration = (3 × 9.81m/s² × cos 30°) ÷ 2× L

Angular Acceleration = 3 × 9.81m/s² × cos 30°) ÷ 2× 2.0m

Angular Acceleration = 6.37rad/sec²

Approximately Angular Acceleration =

6.4rad/sec²

What distance is required for a train to stop if its initial velocity is 23 m/s and its
Varvara68 [4.7K]

-- The train starts at 23 m/s and slows down by 0.25 m/s every second.

So it'll take (23/0.25) = 92 seconds to stop.

-- Its average speed during that time will be (1/2)(23+0) = 11.5 m/s

-- Moving at an average speed of 11.5 m/s for 92 sec, the train will cover

(11.5 m/s) x (92 sec)  =  <em>1,058 meters</em> .
