A child with mass of 25 kg gets into a toy car with mass of 80 kg on a playground, causing it to sink on its springs (with effec

tive spring constant 791 N/m). An adult walks by and gives the top of the car a shove, causing it to undergo oscillations with amplitude 31 cm in the vertical direction. Assuming the oscillations are simple harmonic, what is the frequency of the oscillations?

Answer:

The frequency of the oscillation is 0.9Hz

Explanation:

This problem bothers on simple harmonic motion of a spring

Given data

Mass of the child m= 25kg

Spring constant k=791 N/m

Amplitude a= 31cm

But the period of the motion as a result of the adults sholve is expressed as

T=2π√m/k

T=2*3.142√25/791

T=6.284√0.031

T=6.284*0.176

T=1.11 sec

But frequency F=1/T

F=1/1.11

F=0.9Hz

A 0.15 kg baseball is pushed with 100 N force. what will its acceleration be?
sammy [17]

Answer:

The acceleration of the ball is 666.67 m/s²

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the baseball, m = 0.15 kg

Applied force to it, F = 100 N

We need to find the acceleration of the ball. It can be calculated using Newton's second law of motion as :

F = ma

a=\dfrac{F}{m}

a=\dfrac{100\ N}{0.15\ kg}

a=666.67\ m/s^2

So, the acceleration of the ball is 666.67 m/s². Hence, this is the required solution.

an ice skater applies a horizontal force to a 20.-kilogram block on frictionless, level ice, causing the block to accelerate uni
stiv31 [10]
The only vertical forces are weight and normal force, and they balance since the surface is horizontal. The horizontal forces are the applied force (uppercase F) in the direction the block slides and the frictional force (lowercase f) in the opposite direction.

Apply Newton's 2nd Law in the horizontal direction:
ΣF = ma
F - f = ma
where f = µmg

F - µmg = ma
F = m(a +µg)
F = (20 kg)(1.4 m/s² + 0.28(9.8 m/s²)

F = 83 N
