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.

An Iowa class warship holds the record for the fastest warship. If the ship accelerates uniformly from rest at 0.15 m/s² for 2 m
Mumz [18]
The equation to be used is the derived formulas for rectilinear motion at a constant acceleration. The formula for acceleration is

a = (v - v₀)/t
where
v and v₀ are the initial and final velocities, respectively
t is the time
a is the acceleration

Since it started from rest, v₀ = 0. Using the formula:

0.15 m/s² = (v - 0)/[2 minutes*(60 s/1 min)]
Solving for v,
v = 18 m/s

How is the voltage V across the resistor related to the current I and the resistance R of the resistor? (Use I for current and R
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

This relationship is explained by Ohm's law

Explanation:

Ohm's law states that the current flowing through a circuit or a resistor is directly proportional to the voltage across the resistor and inversely proportional to the resistance. Where current is i, voltage is v and resistance is r, Ohm's law can be represented mathematically as

V= IR

A -0.00325 C charge q1 is placed 5.62 m from a second charge q2. The first charge is repelled with a 48900 N force. What is the
blagie [28]

Answer: q2 = -0.05286

Explanation:

Given that

Charge q1 = - 0.00325C

Electric force F = 48900N

The electric field strength experienced by the charge will be force per unit charge. That is

E = F/q

Substitute F and q into the formula

E = 48900/0.00325

E = 15046153.85 N/C

The value of the repelled second charge will be achieved by using the formula

E = kq/d^2

Where the value of constant

k = 8.99×10^9Nm^2/C^2

d = 5.62m

Substitutes E, d and k into the formula

15046153.85 = 8.99×10^9q/5.62^2

15046153.85 = 284634186.5q

Make q the subject of formula

q2 = 15046153.85/ 28463416.5

q2 = 0.05286

Since they repelled each other, q2 will be negative. Therefore,

q2 = -0.05286

Please hurry Describe why electric currents can be dangerous
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

Cardiac Arrest, burns, and nerve damage.

Explanation:

Basically, the main risk is cardiac arrest, caused by the electric current interfering with the normal operation of the heart muscle. Other possible damages are burns due to the electric energy vaporizing the water inside the cells, and nerve damage caused by excessive current through the nerves.
