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 4.42 Hz. (a) What is the spring constant of each spring if the mass of the car is 1450 kg and the mass is evenly distributed over the spring?

Answer:

Therefore, the spring constant of each spring =  1.6 × 10⁻⁶ kg/s².

Explanation:

The period (T) of a spring in oscillation = 2π √(m/k)............. equation 1

Where m = mass acting on the spring (kg), k = spring constant of the spring (kg/s²).

Making k the subject of  equation 1

k = T²/(4π²×m) .......................... equation 2

From the question, F = 4.42 Hz,

since  T = 1/F

then, T = 1/F = 1/4.42 =0.226 s, π = 3.143

since the weight of the mass is evenly distributed over the four identical spring, Hence

m = 1450/4 = 362.5 kg

Substituting these values into equation 2

k = 0.226/{(4×3.143²)362.5}

k = 0.226/(14323.751)

k = 0.0000016 kg/s²

k = 1.6 × 10⁻⁶ kg/s².

Therefore, the spring constant of each spring =  1.6 × 10⁻⁶ kg/s².

Show that rigid body rotation near the Galactic center is consistent with a spherically symmetric mass distribution of constant
irakobra [83]

To solve this problem we will use the concepts related to gravitational acceleration and centripetal acceleration. The equality between these two forces that maintains the balance will allow to determine how the rigid body is consistent with a spherically symmetric mass distribution of constant density. Let's start with the gravitational acceleration of the Star, which is

a_g = \frac{GM}{R^2}

Here

M = \text{Mass inside the Orbit of the star}

R = \text{Orbital radius}

G = \text{Universal Gravitational Constant}

Mass inside the orbit in terms of Volume and Density is

M =V \rho

Where,

V = Volume

\rho =Density

Now considering the volume of the star as a Sphere we have

V = \frac{4}{3} \pi R^3

Replacing at the previous equation we have,

M = (\frac{4}{3}\pi R^3)\rho

Now replacing the mass at the gravitational acceleration formula we have that

a_g = \frac{G}{R^2}(\frac{4}{3}\pi R^3)\rho

a_g = \frac{4}{3} G\pi R\rho

For a rotating star, the centripetal acceleration is caused by this gravitational acceleration.  So centripetal acceleration of the star is

a_c = \frac{4}{3} G\pi R\rho

At the same time the general expression for the centripetal acceleration is

a_c = \frac{\Theta^2}{R}

Where \Theta is the orbital velocity

Using this expression in the left hand side of the equation we have that

\frac{\Theta^2}{R} = \frac{4}{3}G\pi \rho R^2

\Theta = (\frac{4}{3}G\pi \rho R^2)^{1/2}

\Theta = (\frac{4}{3}G\pi \rho)^{1/2}R

Considering the constant values we have that

\Theta = \text{Constant} \times R

\Theta \propto R

As the orbital velocity is proportional to the orbital radius, it shows the rigid body rotation of stars near the galactic center.

So the rigid-body rotation near the galactic center is consistent with a spherically symmetric mass distribution of constant density

water is pumped from a stream at the rate of 90kg every 30s and sprayed into a farm at a velocity of 15m/s. Calculate the power
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

340 W

Explanation:

Power = change in energy / change in time

P = ΔKE / Δt

P = ½ mv² / Δt

P = ½ (90 kg) (15 m/s)² / (30 s)

P = 337.5 W

Rounded to 2 significant figures, the power is 340 W.
