Answer:
a. A = 0.735 m
b. T = 0.73 s
c. ΔE = 120 J decrease
d. The missing energy has turned into interned energy in the completely inelastic collision
Explanation:
a.
4 kg * 10 m /s + 6 kg * 0 m/s = 10 kg* vmax
vmax = 4.0 m/s
¹/₂ * m * v²max = ¹/₂ * k * A²
m * v² = k * A² ⇒ 10 kg * 4 m/s = 100 N/m * A²
A = √1.6 m ² = 1.26 m
At = 2.0 m - 1.26 m = 0.735 m
b.
T = 2π * √m / k ⇒ T = 2π * √4.0 kg / 100 N/m = 1.26 s
T = 2π *√ 10 / 100 *s² = 1.99 s
T = 1.99 s -1.26 s = 0.73 s
c.
E = ¹/₂ * m * v²max =
E₁ = ¹/₂ * 4.0 kg * 10² m/s = 200 J
E₂ = ¹/₂ * 10 * 4² = 80 J
200 J - 80 J = 120 J decrease
d.
The missing energy has turned into interned energy in the completely inelastic collision
Answer: apparent weighlessness.
Explanation:
1) Balance of forces on a person falling:
i) To answer this question we will deal with the assumption of non-drag force (abscence of air).
ii) When a person is dropped, and there is not air resistance, the only force acting on the person's body is the Earth's gravitational attraction (downward), which is the responsible for the gravitational acceleration (around 9.8 m/s²).
iii) Under that sceneraio, there is not normal force acting on the person (the normal force is the force that the floor or a chair exerts on a body to balance the gravitational force when the body is on it).
2) This is, the person does not feel a pressure upward, which is he/she does not feel the weight: freefalling is a situation of apparent weigthlessness.
3) True weightlessness is when the object is in a place where there exists not grativational acceleration: for example a point between two planes where the grativational forces are equal in magnitude but opposing in direction and so they cancel each other.
Therefore, you conclude that, assuming no air resistance, a person in this ride experiencing apparent weightlessness.
Answer:
3.46 seconds
Explanation:
Since the ball is moving in circular motion thus centripetal force will be acting there along the rope.
The equation for the centripetal force is as follows -
Where,
is the mass of the ball,
is the speed and
is the radius of the circular path which will be equal to the length of the rope.
This centripetal force will be equal to the tension in the string and thus we can write,

and, 
Thus,
m/s.
Now, the total length of circular path = circumference of the circle
Thus, total path length = 2πr = 2 × 3.14 × 2 = 12.56 m
Time taken to complete one revolution =
=
= 3.46 seconds.
Thus, the mass will complete one revolution in 3.46 seconds.
Both don’t have units beacuse they are ratios
We can use the kinematic equation

where Vf is what we are looking for
Vi is 0 since we start from rest
a is acceleration
and d is the distance
we get
(Vf)^2 = (0)^2 + 2*(2)*(500)
(Vf)^2 = 2000
Vf = about 44.721
or 44.7 m/s [if you are rounding this by significant figures]
