An empty semi-truck sits on the scale of a weighing station. It is then loaded with 100 irritated pigeons. These two events then

happen in sequence. a) First, the super irritated pigeons just stand on the floor of the truck. b) Second, they take flight inside the truck. They all fly in the enclosed space such that they do not collide with each other or the walls/ceiling/floor. Is the reading on the scale different in a) versus b)? Does the reading on the scale change during the transition of these events?

Answer:

The reading in the scale is going to be the same, or if it experiences some change it would be minimum. The reason is because the truck will act as a big closed cage, therefore, when the pigeons fly, the air they move with their wings in order to keep flying,  exerts the same force on the closed cage, that if they were standing on the ground.

If the truck however, allows the air flow, the weight might change, because under this scenario, the air flowing could represent less force exerted on the balance.

A mass of a spring vibrates in simple harmonic motion at a frequency of 8.0 Hz and an amplitude of 3.9 cm. If a timer is started
oee [108]

Answer:

 e = 50.27 give / s

Explanation:

The expression for simple harmonic motion is

    x = A cos (wt + Ф)

in this case they give us the amplitude A = 3.9 cm and frequency f = 8.0 Hz

The angular and linФear variables are related

      e = 2π d

      e = 2π 8

      e = 50.27 give / s

let's look for the constant fi

       so let's find the time to have the maximum displacement

       v = dx / dt

       v = -A w sin (wt +Ф)

for the point of maximum displacement the speed is I think

        0 = - sin (0 + Ф)

therefore fi = 0

Let's put together the equation of motion

          x = 0.039 sin (50.27 t)

          v = 0.039 50.27 sin (50.27 3)

           v = 1.96 50 0.01355

            v = 0.0266 m / s
