Answer:

The spring constant of the spring is 47.62 N/m

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass that is attached with the spring, m = 29 g = 0.029 kg

The spring makes 20 complete vibrations in 3.1 s. We need to find the spring constant of the spring. We know that the number of oscillations per unit time is called frequency of an object. So,

$f=\dfrac{20}{3.1}$

f = 6.45 Hz

The frequency of oscillator is given by :

$f=\dfrac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}}$

k is the spring constant

$k=4\pi^2f^2m$

$k=4\pi^2\times (6.45)^2\times 0.029$

k = 47.62 N/m

So, the spring constant of the spring is 47.62 N/m. Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer:

Therefore, the moment of inertia is:

$I=0.37 \: kgm^{2}$

Explanation:

The period of an oscillation equation of a solid pendulum is given by:

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{I}{Mgd}}$ (1)

Where:

I is the moment of inertia
M is the mass of the pendulum
d is the distance from the center of mass to the pivot
g is the gravity

Let's solve the equation (1) for I

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{I}{Mgd}}$

$I=Mgd(\frac{T}{2\pi})^{2}$

Before find I, we need to remember that

$T = \frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{0.680}=1.47\: s$

Now, the moment of inertia will be:

$I=2*9.81*0.340(\frac{1.47}{2\pi})^{2}$

Therefore, the moment of inertia is:

$I=0.37 \: kgm^{2}$

I hope it helps you!

Complete Question

Q. Two go-carts, A and B, race each other around a 1.0km track. Go-cart A travels at a constant speed of 20m/s. Go-cart B accelerates uniformly from rest at a rate of 0.333m/s^2. Which go-cart wins the race and by how much time?

Answer:

Go-cart A is faster

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The length of the track is $l = 1.0 \ km = 1000 \ m$

The speed of A is $v__{A}} = 20 \ m/s$

The uniform acceleration of B is $a__{B}} = 0.333 \ m/s^2$

Generally the time taken by go-cart A is mathematically represented as

$t__{A}} = \frac{l}{v__{A}}}$

=> $t__{A}} = \frac{1000}{20}$

=> $t__{A}} = 50 \ s$

Generally from kinematic equation we can evaluate the time taken by go-cart B as

$l = ut__{B}} + \frac{1}{2} a__{B}} * t__{B}}^2$

given that go-cart B starts from rest u = 0 m/s

So

$1000 = 0 *t__{B}} + \frac{1}{2} * 0.333 * t__{B}}^2$

=> $1000 = 0 *t__{B}} + \frac{1}{2} 0.333 * t__{B}}^2$

=> $t__{B}} = 77.5 \ seconds$

Comparing $t__{A}} \ and \ t__{B}}$ we see that $t__{A}}$ is smaller so go-cart A is faster

Describe the relationship between the Law of Conservation of Matter and balancing equations.

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

The mass of the products and reactants are the same on both sides of the equation.

The number of atoms of products and reactants are equal and hence it proves the law of conservation of mass.
