a body of a mass 1kg suspended from a spring is found to stretch the spring by 10cm. (A) what is the spring constant? what is pe

Nikitich [7]

Answer:

(A) The spring constant is <u>98 N/m.</u>

(B) The period of oscillation is <u>0.635 s.</u>

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the body is, $m=1\ kg$

Extension length of the spring is, $x=10\ cm=0.1\ m$

Now, let 'k' be the spring constant.

The force acting on the body is due to gravity only and is equal to its weight.

So, weight of the body is given as:

$F_g=mg\\F_g=1\times 9.8\\F_g=9.8\ N$

Now, we know that for a spring-mass system, the net force acting on the body is equal to the product of the spring constant and extension length. Therefore,

$F_g=kx\\9.8=k(0.1)\\k=\frac{9.8}{0.1}=98\ N/m$

Hence, the spring constant is 98 N/m.

(B)

Period of oscillation of a body of spring-mass system in SHM is given as:

$T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}$

Plug in the given values and solve for period 'T'. This gives,

$T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{1}{98}}\\T=2\pi\times 0.101\\T=0.635\ s$

Therefore, the period of oscillation is 0.635 s.

"A hiker starts at point P and walks 2.0 kilometers due east and then 1.4 kilometers due north. The vectors in the diagram below

Law Incorporation [45]

Here, you need to use your "Protractor" as it is given in the question, but we can calculate the value with the help of our mathematical calculation too:
[ Protractor can be use only in real life, not here ]

Draw an imaginary line from initial position to final position.
Now, In that triangle, tan x = P/B
tan x = 1.4 / 2
tan x = 0.70
x = tan⁻¹ (0.70)
x = 35 [ tan 35 = 0.70 ]

In short, Your Answer would be 35 degrees

Hope this helps!

When a 58g tennis ball is served, it accelerates from rest to a constant speed of 36 m/s. The impact with the racket gives the b

inysia [295]

We first calculate the acceleration on the ball using:
2as = v² - u²; u = 0 because ball is initially at rest
a = (36)²/(2 x 0.35)
a = 1850 m/s²
F = ma
F = 0.058 x 1850
= 107.3 Newtons
