A conductor contains electrons that are bound so weakly to their atoms
that they can be ripped away with a small voltage, and sent scurrying in
the direction of the higher potential.

a particle is moving with shm of period 8.0s and amplitude 5.0cm. find (a) the speed of particle when it is 3.0m from the centre

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

a) $speed=\pi cm/s$

b) $v_{max}=\frac{5\pi}{4} cm/s$

c) $a_{max}=\frac{5\pi^{2}}{16} cm/s^{2}$

Explanation:

The very first thing we must do in order to solve this problem is to find an equation for the simple harmonic motion of the given particle. Simple harmonic motion can be modeled with the following formula:

$y=Asin(\omega t)$

where:

A=amplitude

$\omega$ = angular frequency

t=time

we know the amplitude is:

A=5.0cm

and the angular frequency can be found by using the following formula:

$\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}$

so our angular frequency is:

$\omega=\frac{2\pi}{8s}$

$\omega=\frac{\pi}{4}$

so now we can build our equation:

$y=5sin(\frac{\pi}{4} t)$

we need to find the speed of the particle when it is 3m from the centre of its motion, so we need to find the time t when this will happen. We can use the equation we just found to get this value:

$y=5sin(\frac{\pi}{4} t)$

$3=5sin(\frac{\pi}{4} t)$

so we solve for t:

$sin(\frac{\pi}{4} t)=\frac{3}{5}$

$\frac{\pi}{4} t=sin^{-1}(\frac{3}{5})$

$t=\frac{4}{\pi}sin^{-1}(\frac{3}{5})$

you can directly use this expression as the time or its decimal representation:

t=0.81933

since we need to find the speed of the particle at that time, we will need to get the derivative of the equation that represents the particle's position, so we get:

$y=5sin(\frac{\pi}{4} t)$

$y'=5cos(\frac{\pi}{4} t)*\frac{\pi}{4}$

which simplifies to:

$y' =\frac{5\pi}{4}cos(\frac{\pi}{4} t)$

and we can now substitute the t-value we found previously, so we get:

$y'=\frac{5\pi}{4}cos(\frac{\pi}{4} (0.81933))$

$y'=\pi$

so its velocity at that point is $\pi$ cm/s

b) In order to find the maximum velocity we just need to take a look at the velocity equation we just found:

$y' =\frac{5\pi}{4}cos(\frac{\pi}{4} t)$

its amplitude will always give us the maximum velocity of the particle, so in this case the amplitude is:

$A=\frac{5\pi}{4}$

so:

$v_{max}=\frac{5\pi}{4} cm/s$

c) we can use a similar procedure to find the maximum acceleration of the particle, we just need to find the derivative of the velocity equation and determine its amplitude. So we get:

$y'= \frac{5\pi}{4}cos(\frac{\pi}{4} t)$

We can use the chain rule again to find this derivative so we get:

$y" =-\frac{5\pi}{4}sin(\frac{\pi}{4} t)*(\frac{pi}{4})$

so when simplified we get:

$y"=-\frac{5\pi^{2}}{16}sin(\frac{\pi}{4} t)$

its amplitude is:

$A=\frac{5\pi^{2}}{16}$

so its maximum acceleration is:

$a_{max}=\frac{5\pi^{2}}{16} cm/s^{2}$

A car is moving with a speed of 15 ms. How long does it take to cover a distance<br>of 1.2 km?

fgiga [73]

Answer: 80 s

Explanation:

Speed is expressed in v= d/t, derive the equation so we can have time.

First conert km into meters to cancel out both units and only seconds will remain.

1.2 km x 1000m/ 1km = 1200 m

t = 1200 m /15 m/s = 80 s

Which of the following was/were used by the Greek philosophers in

Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

a and c are both correct

Explanation:

The Greek Philosophers had to reject many existing explanations (mostly from the babylonians and the egyptians) because of possible religion bias. <u>They resorted to logic and reason to provide understanding for the world around them</u>. The first set of Greek Philosophers were the Milesian thinkers; <u>whom aside from logic and reason also placed value on Observation in understanding the world</u>.

There are generally no evidence to support the use of experiment to support the claims of the Greek philosophers

Why is it important to use the correct number of significant digits when

Pani-rosa [81]

A. To show how precise your measurements were

Explanation:

It is important to use the correct number of significant digits when reporting the results of an experiment because they show how precise measurement are.

Precision is the ability to reproduce a particular set of results in an experiment.
Every instrument have their precision level.
The precision levels shows to what extent the values obtained can be trusted..
Significant figures are not only important in recording measurements, they are also needed for calculations in science.
