Power is a measure of the rate at which work is done. Power is determined by the change in energy

Power is the rate of electrical charge transferred from one place to another. Power can be determined by multiplying voltage by amperage.

For a damped simple harmonic oscillator, the block has a mass of 1.2 kg and the spring constant is 9.8 N/m. The damping force is

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

a) t=24s

b) number of oscillations= 11

Explanation:

In case of a damped simple harmonic oscillator the equation of motion is

m(d²x/dt²)+b(dx/dt)+kx=0

Therefore on solving the above differential equation we get,

x(t)=A₀ $e^{\frac{-bt}{2m}}cos(w't+\phi)=A(t)cos(w't+\phi)$

where A(t)=A₀ $e^{\frac{-bt}{2m}}$

A₀ is the amplitude at t=0 and

$w'$ is the angular frequency of damped SHM, which is given by,

$w'=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}-\frac{b^{2}}{4m^{2}} }$

Now coming to the problem,

Given: m=1.2 kg

k=9.8 N/m

b=210 g/s= 0.21 kg/s

A₀=13 cm

a) A(t)=A₀/8

⇒A₀ $e^{\frac{-bt}{2m}}$ =A₀/8

⇒ $e^{\frac{bt}{2m}}=8$

applying logarithm on both sides

⇒ $\frac{bt}{2m}=ln(8)$

⇒ $t=\frac{2m*ln(8)}{b}$

substituting the values

$t=\frac{2*1.2*ln(8)}{0.21}=24s(approx)$

b) $w'=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}-\frac{b^{2}}{4m^{2}} }$

$w'=\sqrt{\frac{9.8}{1.2}-\frac{0.21^{2}}{4*1.2^{2}}}=2.86s^{-1}$

$T'=\frac{2\pi}{w'}$ , where $T'$ is time period of damped SHM

⇒ $T'=\frac{2\pi}{2.86}=2.2s$

let $n$ be number of oscillations made

then, $nT'=t$

⇒ $n=\frac{24}{2.2}=11(approx)$

The intensity of the sound from a certain source is measured at two points along a line from the source. The points are separate

Artemon [7]

Answer:

The source is at a distance of 4.56 m from the first point.

Solution:

As per the question:

Separation distance between the points, d = 11.0 m

Sound level at the first point, L = 66.40 dB

Sound level at the second point, L'= 55.74 dB

Now,

$L = 10log_{10}\frac{I}{I_{o}}$

$I = I_{o}10^{\frac{L}{10}} = I_{o}10^{0.1L} = 10^{- 12}\times 10^{0.1\times 66.40} = 10^{- 5.36}$

$L' = 10log_{10}\frac{I'}{I_{o}}$

$I' = I_{o}10^{\frac{L'}{10}} = 10^{- 12}\times 10^{0.1\times 55.74} = 10^{- 6.426}$

where

$I_{o} = 10^{- 12} W/m^{2}$

I = Intensity of sound

Now,

$I = \frac{P}{4\pi R^{2}}$

Similarly,

$I' = \frac{P}{4\pi (R + 11.0)^{2}}$

Now,

$\frac{I}{I'} = \frac{(R + 11.0)^{2}}{R^{2}}$

$\frac{10^{- 5.36}}{10^{- 6.426}} = \frac{(R + 11.0)^{2}}{R^{2}}$

$R ^{2} + 22R + 121 = 11.64R^{2}}$

$10.64R ^{2} - 22R - 121 = 0$

Solving the above quadratic eqn, we get:

R = 4.56 m

A 1200 kg car accelerates from 13 m/s to 17 m/s. find the change in momentum of the car.

mixas84 [53]

P=4800kgm/s
As
p=mΔv
where p is momentum, m is mass and v is velocity
Given values is
m =1200kg
Δv= 17m/s-13m/s=4m/s
Now
p=mΔv
p=(1200kg)*(4m/s)
p=4800kgm/s

Compare and contrast the energy transfer of a roller coaster to that of a pendulum

Softa [21]

When the pendulum and roller coaster move to the top, its has more potential energy whereas when comes to the bottom has more kinetic energy.

<h3>Compare and contrast the energy transfer of a roller coaster to that of a pendulum:</h3><h3>What is the transfer of energy in a roller coaster?</h3>

The transfer of potential energy to kinetic energy occur when the roller coaster move along the track. As the motor pulls the cars to the top, the body has more potential energy whereas when the body comes to the bottom , it has kinetic energy in the object.

<h3>What is the energy transfer in a pendulum?</h3>

As a pendulum swings, its potential energy changes to kinetic energy and kinetic energy changes into potential energy. At the top more potential energy is present.

So we can conclude that When the pendulum and roller coaster move to the top, its has more potential energy whereas when comes to the bottom has more kinetic energy.
