An automobile can be considered to be mounted on four identical springs as far as vertical oscillations are concerned. The sprin

gs of a certain car are adjusted so that the oscillations have a frequency of 3.27 Hz. (a) What is the spring constant of each spring if the mass of the car is 1140 kg and the mass is evenly distributed over the springs? (b) What will be the oscillation frequency if five passengers, averaging 68.0 kg each, ride in the car with an even distribution of mass?

Answer:

a) 120341 N/m

b) 1.432 Hz

Explanation:

Given that

Frequency of oscillations of spring, F = 3.27 Hz

Mass of the car, m = 1140 kg

Average mass of passengers, M = 68 kg

The mass on each spring,

m = 1/4 m,

m = 1140 / 4

m = 285 kg

The spring constant on each spring, k is

ω = √(k/m), also,

ω = 2πf, so that

2πf = √(k/m)

If we square both sides, then

4π²f² = k/m

k = 4π²f²m if we substitute, we have

k = 4 * 3.142² * 3.27² * 285

k = 120341 Nm

Since the mass of each person is 68 kg, then the total mass of all passengers would be

68 * 5 = 340 kg

Thus, the total mass of the oscillating system is,

mass of passengers + mass of car

340 kg + 1140 kg

M(total) = 1480 kg

To get the vibrating frequency, we substitute for values in the equation

2πf = √(k/m)

F = 1/2π * √(k/m)

F = 1/2π * √(120341 / 1480)

F = 1/2π * √81.31

F = 0.1591 * 9

F = 1.432 Hz

A discharge lamp rated at 25 W (1 W = 1 J/s) emits yellow light of wavelength 580 nm. How many photons of yellow light does the
Scrat [10]

Answer:

the number of photons of yellow light does the lamp generate in 1.0 s is 7 x 10^{19}

Explanation:

given information:

power, P = 25 W

wavelength. λ - 580 nm = 5.80 x 10^{-7} m

time, t = 1 s

to calculate the number of photon(N), we use the following equation

N = λPt/hc

where

λ = wavelength (m)

P = power (W)

t = time interval (s)

h = Planck's constant (6.23 x 10^{-34} Js)

c = light's velocity (3 x 10^{8} m/s^{2})

So,

N = λPt/hc

   = (5.80 x 10^{-7})(25)(1)/(6.23 x 10^{-34})(3 x 10^{8} m/s^{2})

    = 7 x 10^{19}

During a baseball game, a batter hits a high pop-up. If the ball remains in the air for 6.22 s, how high does it rise? The accel
BigorU [14]

Answer:

47.4 m

Explanation:

When an object is thrown upward, it rises up, it reaches its maximum height, and then it goes down. The time at which it reaches its maximum height is half the total time of flight.

In this case, the time of flight is 6.22 s, so the time the ball takes to reach the maximum height is

t=\frac{6.22}{2}=3.11 s

Now we consider only the downward motion of the ball: it is a free fall motion, so we can find the vertical displacement by using the suvat equation

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^2

where

s is the vertical displacement

u = 0 is the initial velocity

t = 3.11 s is the time

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity (taking downward as positive direction)

Solving the  formula, we find

s=\frac{1}{2}(9.8)(3.11)^2=47.4 m
