ou have just moved into a new apartment and are trying to arrange your bedroom. You would like to move your dresser of weight 3,

500 NN across the carpet to a spot 5 mm away on the opposite wall. Hoping to just slide your dresser easily across the floor, you do not empty your clothes out of the drawers before trying to move it. You push with all your might but cannot move the dresser before becoming completely exhausted. How much work do you do on the dress

So far, since you moved into the apartment until the end of this much of the story, you haven't done ANY work on the dresser yet.

I'll admit that you pushed, groaned and grunted, sweated and strained plenty.  You're physically and mentally exhausted, you're not interested in the dresser at the moment, and right now you just want to snappa cappa brew, crash on the couch, and watch cartoons on TV.  But if you've done your Physics homework, you know you haven't technically done any <u><em>work</em></u> yet.

In Physics, "Work" is the product of Force times Distance.

Since the dresser hasn't budged yet, the Distahce is zero.  So no matter how great the Force may be, it's multiplied by zero, so the <em>Work is zero</em>.

A 0.150-kg cart that is attached to an ideal spring with a force constant (spring constant) of 3.58 N/m undergoes simple harmoni
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

E = 0.01 J

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of the cart, m = 0.15 kg

The force constant of the spring, k = 3.58 N/m

The amplitude of the oscillations, A = 7.5 cm = 0.075 m

We need to find the total mechanical energy of the system. It can be given by the formula as follows :

E=\dfrac{1}{2}kA^2

Put all the values,

E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 3.58\times (0.075)^2\\\\=0.01\ J

So, the value of total mechanical energy is equal to 0.01 J.

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.

How do you find the amplitude of a wave?
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

To find the amplitude, wavelength, period, and frequency of a sinusoidal wave, write down the wave function in the form y(x,t)=Asin(kx−ωt+ϕ).

The amplitude can be read straight from the equation and is equal to A.

The period of the wave can be derived from the angular frequency (T=2πω).

Why is Vy negative and not positive because I solved it and it resulted in a positive number?
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Explanation:

You are given the initial velocity, the displacement, and the acceleration.  You're looking for the final velocity.  So you use the equation:

v² = v₀² + 2aΔy

When you solve for v, you take the square root.  Your calculator will return a positive answer, but there are actually two possible answers: positive and negative.

v = ±√(v₀² + 2aΔy)

You must use the physical context of the problem.  If we take up to be the positive direction, then v must be negative, since the projectile is moving down.
