a) x(t)=2.0 sin (10 t) [m]

The equation which gives the position of a simple harmonic oscillator is:

x(t)= A sin (\omega t)

where

A is the amplitude

\omega=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}} is the angular frequency, with k being the spring constant and m the mass

t is the time

Let's start by calculating the angular frequency:

\omega=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{50.0 N/m}{0.500 kg}}=10 rad/s

The amplitude, A, can be found from the maximum velocity of the spring:

v_{max}=\omega A\\A=\frac{v_{max}}{\omega}=\frac{20.0 m/s}{10 rad/s}=2 m

So, the equation of motion is

x(t)= 2.0 sin (10 t) [m]

b)  t=0.10 s, t=0.52 s

The potential energy is given by:

U(x)=\frac{1}{2}kx^2

While the kinetic energy is given by:

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

The velocity as a function of time t is:

v(t)=v_{max} cos(\omega t)

The problem asks as the time t at which U=3K, so we have:

\frac{1}{2}kx^2 = \frac{3}{2}mv^2\\kx^2 = 3mv^2\\k (A sin (\omega t))^2 = 3m (\omega A cos(\omega t))^2\\(tan(\omega t))^2=\frac{3m\omega^2}{k}

However, \frac{m}{k}=\frac{1}{\omega^2}, so we have

(tan(\omega t))^2=\frac{3\omega^2}{\omega^2}=3\\tan(\omega t)=\pm \sqrt{3}\\

with two solutions:

\omega t= \frac{\pi}{3}\\t=\frac{\pi}{3\omega}=\frac{\pi}{3(10 rad/s)}=0.10 s

\omega t= \frac{5\pi}{3}\\t=\frac{5\pi}{3\omega}=\frac{5\pi}{3(10 rad/s)}=0.52 s

c) 3 seconds.

When x=0, the equation of motion is:

0=A sin (\omega t)

so, t=0.

When x=1.00 m, the equation of motion is:

1=A sin(\omega t)\\sin(\omega t)=\frac{1}{A}=\frac{1}{2}\\\omega t= 30\\t=\frac{30}{\omega}=\frac{30}{10 rad/s}=3 s

So, the time needed is 3 seconds.

d) 0.097 m

The period of the oscillator in this problem is:

T=\frac{2\pi}{\omega}=\frac{2\pi}{10 rad/s}=0.628 s

The period of a pendulum is:

T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}

where L is the length of the pendulum. By using T=0.628 s, we find

L=\frac{T^2g}{(2\pi)^2}=\frac{(0.628 s)^2(9.8 m/s^2)}{(2\pi)^2}=0.097 m

Look at the picture above and scientifically explain how eating a hamburger can cause energy transformation in three ways within
sergejj [24]

Answer:

CLAIM: When you eat the hamburger, your body uses it and breaks it down which is chemical energy than use that food for energy for mechanical energy which makes thermal energy

EVIDENCE: This happens every day to people across the world and also it is scientifically proven

REASONING: The reason why this evidence supports it is because as I said  it happens everyday and when you feel energized after and apple after you were lazy that just happened

It takes 3.0 eV of energy to excite an electron in a 1-dimensional infinite well from the ground state to the first excited stat
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

0.614 nm

Explanation:

Energy of the nth state of one dimensional infinite wall is,

E=\frac{n^{2} h^{2} }{8mL^{2} }

Given the energy to excite an electron from ground state to first excited state is,

\Delta E=3eV\\\Delta E=3(1.6\times10^{-19})J

And the Plank's constant is, h=6.626\times10^{-34}Js

Mass of electron,m=9.1\times10^{-31}kg

Now the energy will of a 1 dimensional infinite wall which excite an electron from ground state to first excited state will be,

\Delta E=\frac{2^{2} h^{2} }{8mL^{2} } -\frac{1^{2} h^{2} }{8mL^{2} }

Put all the variables in above equation and rearrange it for L.

L^{2} =\frac{3((6.626\times10^{-34}Js)^{2} )}{8\times9.1\times10^{-31}kg\times3(1.6\times10^{-19})J} \\L^{2} =0.376922012\times10^{-18} m^{2}\\ L=0.6139\times10^{-9}m\\ L=0.614nm

Therefore the width of the box is 0.614 nm.
