A 1.89 kg object on a frictionless horizontal track is attached to the end of a horizontal spring whose force constant is 4.89 N

/m. The object is displaced 4.73 m to the right from its equilibrium position and then released, which initiates simple harmonic motion. What is the magnitude of the force acting on the object 3.8 s after it is released? Answer in units of N.

To solve this problem, apply the concepts related to the simple harmonic movement. We will start by finding the angular velocity, essential to find the position of displacement of the spring with the data provided. With displacement we will apply Hooke's law.

A ) Position of the object is

x = Acos(\omega t)

The angular frequency of the object is

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

\omega = \sqrt{\frac{4.89}{1.89}}

\omega =1.60851 rad/s

Replacing at the first equation we have that

x = (4.89)cos((1.60851)(3.8))

x = 4.8188m

Now the force is

F = -kx

F = - (4.89)(4.8188)

F = -23.5639N

A horizontal spring-mass system has low friction, spring stiffness 160 N/m, and mass 0.3 kg. The system is released with an init
anygoal [31]

Answer:

(a) 0.38 m

(b) 2.78 m/s

(c) 0.11 watt

Explanation:

mass, m = 0.3 kg

spring constant, K = 160 N/m

initial compression, d = 12 cm = 01.2 m

initial speed, u = 3 m/s

(a) Let the maximum stretch is y.

Use conservation of energy

Initial potential energy + initial kinetic energy = final potential energy

0.5 x K x d² + 0.5 x m x u² = 0.5 x K x y²

160 x 0.12 x 0.12 + 0.3 x 0.12 x 0.12 = 160 x y²

2.304 + 0.00432 = 160 y²

y = 0.38 m

y = 38 cm

(b) Let v is the maximum speed.

The speed is maximum when the stretch in the spring is zero, so by use of conservation of energy

Initial potential energy + initial kinetic energy = final kinetic energy

0.5 x K x d² + 0.5 x m x u² = 0.5 x m x v²

160 x 0.12 x 0.12 + 0.3 x 0.12 x 0.12 = 0.3 x v²

2.304 + 0.00432 = 0.3 v²

v = 2.78 m/s

(c) The time period of the spring mass system is given by

T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{m}{K}}

T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{0.3}{160}}

T = 0.272 second

Energy dissipated per cycle = 0.03 J

Power, P = 0.03 / 0.272 = 0.11 Watt

What is the difference between gravitational force and the force of gravity
statuscvo [17]

This might help and it might not:

Gravitation is the acting force between two bodies. On the other hand, gravity is the force occurring between an object and the very big object earth. Every object with some mass exerts the gravitational force on every other object having some mass. This force and its strength depend on the masses of the objects under consideration. Gravity helps to keep the planets to move in their orbit around the sun.

Gravitation is the force of attraction between any two bodies in the universe. In our universe, each object attracts each other with a certain amount of force. The large distance of separation is the main reason for its weak nature.

Gravity is the weakest type of fundamental force in nature. Still, it holds together the entire solar systems and galaxies.

Gravity has the existence with unlimited range.

Alexis walked 1.5 km to her house in 0.5 hours. What is Alexis’ speed?
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

Speed = 3 [km/h]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the definition of speed which relates the distance traveled for a while.

Distance = 1.5 [km] = 1500 [m].

time = 0.5 [hr] = 1800 [s]

Speed = Distance/time

Speed = 1.5/0.5

Speed = 3 [km/h] or 1500/1800 = 0.8333[m/s]
