This is where we have to admit that gravitational potential energy is
one of those things that depends on the "frame of reference", or
'relative to what?'.
Potential energy = (mass) x (gravity) x (<em>height</em>).
So you have to specify <em><u>height above what</u></em> .
-- With respect to the ground, the ball has zero potential energy.
(If you let go of it, it will gain zero kinetic energy as it falls to
the ground.)
-- With respect to the floor in your basement, the potential energy is
(3) x (9.8) x (3 meters) = 88.2 joules.
(If you let go of it, it will gain 88.2 joules of kinetic energy as it falls
to the floor of your basement.)
-- With respect to the top of that 10-meter hill over there, the potential
energy is
(3) x (9.8) x (-10) = -294 joules
(Its potential energy is negative. After you let go of it, you have to give it
294 joules of energy that it doesn't have now, in order to lift it to the top of
the hill <em>where it will have zero</em> potential energy.)
Answer:
109.32 N/m
Explanation:
Given that
Mass of the hung object, m = 8 kg
Period of oscillation of object, T = 1.7 s
Force constant, k = ?
Recall that the period of oscillation of a Simple Harmonic Motion is given as
T = 2π √(m/k), where
T = period of oscillation
m = mass of object and
k = force constant if the spring
Since we are looking for the force constant, if we make "k" the subject of the formula, we have
k = 4π²m / T², now we go ahead to substitute our given values from the question
k = (4 * π² * 8) / 1.7²
k = 315.91 / 2.89
k = 109.32 N/m
Therefore, the force constant of the spring is 109.32 N/m
Correct question:
Consider the motion of a 4.00-kg particle that moves with potential energy given by
a) Suppose the particle is moving with a speed of 3.00 m/s when it is located at x = 1.00 m. What is the speed of the object when it is located at x = 5.00 m?
b) What is the magnitude of the force on the 4.00-kg particle when it is located at x = 5.00 m?
Answer:
a) 3.33 m/s
b) 0.016 N
Explanation:
a) given:
V = 3.00 m/s
x1 = 1.00 m
x = 5.00
At x = 1.00 m
= 4J
Kinetic energy = (1/2)mv²
= 18J
Total energy will be =
4J + 18J = 22J
At x = 5
= -0.24J
Kinetic energy =
= 2Vf²
Total energy =
2Vf² - 0.024
Using conservation of energy,
Initial total energy = final total energy
22 = 2Vf² - 0.24
Vf² = (22+0.24) / 2
= 3.33 m/s
b) magnitude of force when x = 5.0m
At x = 5.0 m
= 0.016N
