A block of unknown mass is attached to a spring with a spring constant of 6.50 N/m and undergoes simple harmonic motion with an

amplitude of 11.5 cm. When the block is halfway between its equilibrium position and the end point, its speed is measured to be 29.0 cm/s.
(a) Calculate the mass of the block.

(b) Calculate the period of the motion.

(c) Calculate the maximum acceleration of the block.

Explanation:

Given that,

Spring constant of the spring, k = 6.5 N/m

Amplitude of simple harmonic motion, A = 11.5 cm

Speed of the block, v = 29 cm/s = 0.29 m/s

(a) When the block is halfway between its equilibrium position and the end point, x = 5.75 cm

The speed of oscillator at a given position is given by :

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}(A^2-x^2)}

m=\dfrac{k}{v^2}(A^2-x^2)

m=\dfrac{6.5}{(0.29)^2}((11.5\times 10^{-2})^2-(5.75\times 10^{-2})^2)

m = 0.766 kg

(b) The period of motion is given by :

T=\dfrac{2\pi}{\omega}

\omega=\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}}

\omega=\sqrt{\dfrac{6.5}{0.766}}

\omega=2.91

T=\dfrac{2\pi}{2.91}

T = 2.15 s

(c) The maximum acceleration of the block is given by :

a=\omega^2A

a=(2.91)^2\times 11.5\times 10^{-2}

a=0.973\ m/s^2

Hence, this is the required solution.

Heat rash is caused by chemical exposure Truth or false
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

This is false.

Explanation:

Heat rash develops when some of your sweat ducts clog. Instead of evaporating, perspiration gets trapped beneath the skin, causing inflammation and rash. Heat rash is usually self-limited, meaning it resolves on its own without treatment. Over-the-counter treatments such as calamine, hydrocortisone cream, itch preparations (such as Benadryl spray), or sunburn lotions can be used as skincare to treat the itching and burning symptoms. Heat rash usually goes away on its own within three or four days so long as you don't irritate the site further. Heat rash happens when the sweat glands get blocked. The trapped sweat irritates the skin and leads to small bumps.

Two cars are raised to the same elevation on service- station lifts. If one car is twice as massive as the other, how do their p
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

The potential energy of the more massive one is twice that of the other.

Explanation:

Potential energy is given by

<em>PE</em> = <em>mgh</em>

where <em>m</em> = mass of body, <em>g</em> = acceleration of gravity and <em>h</em> = height or elevation.

For the less massive car, let the mass be m_1. Then its <em>PE</em> is

PE_1 = m_1gh

For the massive car, let the mass be m_2.  Its <em>PE</em> is

PE_2 = m_2gh

But m_2 =2m_1

\therefore PE_2 = 2m_1gh = 2(m_1gh) = 2PE_1

Hence, the potential energy of the more massive one is twice that of the other.

Prove the three laws of motion​
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

The first law, also called the law of inertia, was pioneered by Galileo. This was quite a conceptual leap because it was not possible in Galileo's time to observe a moving object without at least some frictional forces dragging against the motion. In fact, for over a thousand years before Galileo, educated individuals believed Aristotle's formulation that, wherever there is motion, there is an external force producing that motion.

The second law, $ f(t)=m\,a(t)$ , actually implies the first law, since when $ f(t)=0$ (no applied force), the acceleration $ a(t)$ is zero, implying a constant velocity $ v(t)$ . (The velocity is simply the integral with respect to time of $ a(t)={\dot v}(t)$ .)

Newton's third law implies conservation of momentum [138]. It can also be seen as following from the second law: When one object ``pushes'' a second object at some (massless) point of contact using an applied force, there must be an equal and opposite force from the second object that cancels the applied force. Otherwise, there would be a nonzero net force on a massless point which, by the second law, would accelerate the point of contact by an infinite amount.

A fully loaded, slow-moving freight elevator has a cab with a total mass of 1250 kg, which is required to travel upward 49 m in
insens350 [35]

Answer:

659.01W

Explanation:

The cab has a mass of 1250 kg, the weight of the cab represented by Wc will be

Wc = mass of the cab × acceleration due to gravity in m/s²

Wc = 1250 × 9.81 = 12262.5 N

but the counter weight of the elevator represented by We = mass × acceleration due to gravity = 995 × 9.81 = 9760.95 N

Net weight = weight of the cab - counter weight of the elevator = Wc - We = 12262.5 - 9760.95 = 2501.55 N

the motor of the elevator will have to provide this in form of work

work done by the elevator to lift the cab to height of 49 m = net weight × distance (height) = 2501.55 × 49m

power provided by the motor of the elevator = workdone by the motor / time in seconds

Power = (2501.55 × 49) ÷ ( 3.1 × 60 seconds) = 659.01 W
