Answers:

a) 0.80 kg

b) 2.12 s

c) 1.093 m/s^{2}

Explanation:

We have the following data:

k=7 N/m is the spring constant

A=12.5 cm \frac{1 m}{100 cm}=0.125 m is the amplitude of oscillation

V=32 cm/s=0.32 m/s is the velocity of the block when x=\frac{A}{2}=0.0625 m

Now let's begin with the answers:

<h3>a) Mass of the block</h3>

We can solve this by the conservation of energy principle:

U_{o}+K_{o}=U_{f}+K_{f} (1)

Where:

U_{o}=k\frac{A^{2}}{2} is the initial potential energy

K_{o}=0  is the initial kinetic energy

U_{f}=k\frac{x^{2}}{2} is the final potential energy

K_{f}=\frac{1}{2} m V^{2} is the final kinetic energy

Then:

k\frac{A^{2}}{2}=k\frac{x^{2}}{2}+\frac{1}{2} m V^{2} (2)

Isolating m:

m=\frac{k(A^{2}-x^{2})}{V^{2}} (3)

m=\frac{7 N/m((0.125 m)^{2}-(0.0625 m)^{2})}{(0.32 m/s)^{2}} (4)

m=0.80 kg (5)

<h3>b) Period</h3>

The period T is given by:

T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}} (6)

Substituting (5) in (6):

T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{0.80 kg}{7 N/m}} (7)

T=2.12 s (8)

<h3>c) Maximum acceleration</h3>

The maximum acceleration a_{max} is when the force is maximum F_{max}, as well :

F_{max}=m.a_{max}=k.x_{max} (9)

Being x_{max}=A

Hence:

m.a_{max}=kA (10)

Finding a_{max}:

a_{max}=\frac{kA}{m} (11)

a_{max}=\frac{(7 N/m)(0.125 m)}{0.80 kg} (12)

Finally:

a_{max}=1.093 m/s^{2}

Which event demonstrates electromagnetic waves transferring energy?
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

Sun heating a car sitting in a parking lot

Explanation:

The sun heating a car sitting in a parking lot is an example of electromagnetic waves transferring energy.

  • Electromagnetic waves are produced from the vibration between electric and magnetic fields.
  • These waves can be propagated through vacuum with no particles inside of them.
  • The sun produces electromagnetic radiation through the process of nuclear fusion.
  • These radiations are used to warm the earth surface.
  • The sun heating a car sitting a parking lot is one vivid example.

Water flows straight down from an open faucet. The cross-sectional area of the faucet is 2.4 × 10-4m2 and the speed of the water
Ksenya-84 [330]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the continuity equations in the fluid and the kinematic equation for the description of the displacement, velocity and acceleration.

By definition the movement of the Fluid under the terms of Speed, acceleration and displacement is,

v_2^2 = v_1^2 + 2gh

Where,

V_i = Velocity in each state

g= Gravity

h = Height

Our values are given as,

A_1 = 2.4*10^{-4} m^2

v_1 = 0.8 m/s

h = 0.11m

Replacing at the kinetic equation to find V_2 we have,

v_2 = \sqrt{v_1^2 + 2gh}

v_2 = \sqrt{(0.8 m/s)^2 + 2(9.80 m/s2)(0.11 m)}

v_2= 1.67 m/s

Applying the concepts of continuity,

A_1v_1 = A_2v_2

We need to find A_2 then,

A_2= \frac{A_1v_1 }{v_2}

So the cross sectional area of the water stream at a point 0.11 m below the faucet is

A_2= \frac{A_1v_1 }{v_2}

A_2= \frac{(2.4*10^{-4})(0.8)}{(1.67)}

A_2= 1.14*10^{-4} m2

Therefore the cross-sectional area of the water stream at a point 0.11 m below the faucet is 1.14*10^{-4} m2

You exert of force of 75 newtons on a rock. You push and you push, but you can't budge it. You are exhausted! How much work did
sergiy2304 [10]
You performed 0 work for the fact that work means the distance of movement made on an object not the amount of force it is exposed to. 0 work because it didn't move
