Two small particles of mass m1 and mass m2 attract each other with a force that varies inversely with the cube of their separati

on. At time t0,m1 has a velocity of magnitude v0, directed towards m2, which is at rest a distance d away. At time t1, the particles collide. Calculate L, the distance traveled by particle 1 during the time interval t1 − t0. Express your answer using some or all of the following variables: m1, m2, t0, t1, v0, and d.

Answer:

r_{cm}\ =\ \dfrac{m_2d\ +\ m_1v_0 (t_1\ -\ t_0)}{m_1\ +\ m_2}

Explanation:

Given,

  • mass of the first particle = m_1
  • velocity of the first particle = v_o
  • mass of the second particle = m_2
  • velocity of the second particle = v_2 = 0
  • Time interval = (t_1\ -\ t_o)

Let v_{cm} be the initial velocity of the center of mass of the system of particle at time t_o

\therefore v_{cm}\ =\ \dfrac{m_1v_1\ +\ m_2v_2}{m_1\ +\ m_2}\\\Rightarrow v_{cm}\ =\ \dfrac{m_1v_0}{m_1\ +\ m_2}

Assuming that the first particle is at origin, distance of the second particle from the origin is 'd'

  • x_1\ =\ 0
  • x_2\ =\ d

Center of mass of the system of particles

x_{cm}\ =\ \dfrac{m_1x_1\ +\ m_2x_2}{m_1\ +\ m_2}\\\Rightarrow x_{cm}\ =\ \dfrac{m_2d}{m_1\ +\ m_2}\\

Hence, at time t_0, the center of mass of the system is at x_0\ =\ \dfrac{m_2d}{m_1\ +\ m_2} at an initial speed of v_{cm}

Both the particles are assumed to be the point masses, therefore at the time t_1 the center of mass is at the position of the second particle which should be equal to the total distance traveled by the first particle because the second particle is at rest.

Let r_{cm} be the distance traveled by the center of mass of the system of particles in the time interval (t_1\ +\ t_0)

From the kinematics,

s\ =\ x_0\ +\ vt\\\Rightarrow r_{cm}\ =\ x_{cm}\ +\ v_{cm}{t_1\ -\ t_0}\\\Rightarrow r_{cm}\ =\ \dfrac{m_2d}{m_1\ +\ m_2}\ +\ \left ( \dfrac{m_1v_0}{m_1\ +\ m_2}\ \right )\times (t_1\ -\ t_0)\\\Rightarow r_{cm}\ =\ \dfrac{m_2d\ +\ m_1v_0 (t_1\ -\ t_0)}{m_1\ +\ m_2}

Hence, this is the required distance traveled by the first mass to collide with the second mass which is at rest.

If its wavelength were doubled, its energy would be If its wavelength were doubled, its energy would be 4E. 2E. 12E. 14E.
ANEK [815]

The wavelength was doubled, and its energy will be increased by 4 times.

looking at the formula

energy E = MC^2

also, c = \lambda \times \nu

hence it is clear from above that energy is directly proportional to the square of the wavelength.

hence, The wavelength was doubled, and its energy will be increased by 4 times.

<h3>What is Wavelength?</h3>
  • The distance over which a periodic wave's shape repeats is known as the wavelength in physics.
  • It is a property of both traveling waves and standing waves as well as other spatial wave patterns. It is the distance between two successive corresponding locations of the same phase on the wave, such as two nearby crests, troughs, or zero crossings.
  • The spatial frequency is the reciprocal of the wavelength. The Greek letter lambda is frequently used to represent wavelength.
  • The term wavelength is occasionally used to describe modulated waves, their sinusoidal envelopes, or waves created by the interference of several sinusoids.

An object of mass 2.0 kg is attached to the top of a vertical spring that is anchored to the floor. The unstressed length of the
poizon [28]

Answer:

The value is A  =  0.014 \  m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The mass of the object is  m  =  2.0 \  kg

    The unstressed length of the string is  l  =  0.08 \  m

    The length of the spring when it is  at equilibrium is  l_e = 5.9 \  cm  =  0.059 \  m

      The initial speed (maximum speed)of the spring when given a downward blow v  =  0.30 \  m/s

Generally the maximum speed  of the spring  is mathematically represented as

           u =  A *  w

Here A is maximum height above the floor (i.e the maximum amplitude)

            and w is the angular frequency which is mathematically represented as

       w = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }

So

        u =  A *   \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }

=>      A  =  u *   \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }

Gnerally the length of the compression(Here an assumption that the spring was compressed to the ground by the hammer is made) by the hammer is mathematically represented as

           b  =  l -l_e

=>         b  = 0.08 - 0.05 9

=>         b  = 0.021 \  m

Generally at equilibrium position the net force acting on the spring is  

            k *  b  -  mg  =  0

=>         k *  0.021   -   2 * 9.8  =  0

=>        k =  933 \  N/m

So

            A  =  0.30  *   \sqrt{\frac{2}{933} }

=>          A  =  0.014 \  m
