A block with a mass of 0.400 kg is connected to a spring, displaced in the positive direction a distance of 50.0 cm from equilib

rium, and released from rest at t = 0. The block then oscillates without friction on a horizontal surface. After being released, the first time the block is a distance of 25.0 cm from equilibrium is at t = 0.200 s.
(a) What is the block's period of oscillation?

(b) What is the the value of the spring constant?

Answer:

a) T = 1,199 s b) k = 11.0 N / m

Explanation:

The oscillatory movement of a mass-spring system is described by the equation

x (t) = A cos (w t)

Where A is the amplitude of the movement. W is the angular velocity, which is given by

w = √ k / m

The amplitude of the system is the maximum elongation that the spring has before releasing it, in this case it is A = 50 cm = 0.50 m, the equation is

x = 0.50 cos (wt)

We can calculate the angular velocity with the point given by x = 0.250 m for t = 0.200s

w t = cos⁻¹ (x / A)

w = 1 / t cos⁻¹ (x / A)

w = 1/0.200 cos⁻¹(0.25 / 0.50)

Let's be careful because the angle is in radians

w = 5.24 rad / s

Angular velocity is

w = 2 π f = 2π / T

T = 2π / w

T = 2π / 5.24

T = 1,199 s

With the angular velocity equation we can take off the spring constant

w² = k / m

k = m w²

k = 0.400 5.24²

k = 11.0 N / m

How many planets are there?

beks73 [17]

Hi there!

Assuming you're asking about the solar system, there are nine planets. But, if you're wanting to know about the universe, there are trillions and trillions of planets (most of which we haven't yet discovered).

Hope this helps!

What is a stable and unstable equilibrium

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

here

Explanation:

Equilibrium is a state of a system which does not change. ... An equilibrium is considered stable (for simplicity we will consider asymptotic stability only) if the system always returns to it after small disturbances. If the system moves away from the equilibrium after small disturbances, then the equilibrium is unstable.

A four-wheel-drive vehicle is transporting an injured hiker to the hospital from a point that is 30 km from the nearest point on

zepelin [54]

Answer:

$D=200\ km$

Explanation:

distance on terrain, $d_t=30\ km$

distance on the road, $d_r=70\ km$

speed on terrain, $v_t=30\ km.hr^{-1}$

speed on road, $v_r=130\ km.hr^{-1}$

<u>time taken on the terrain,</u>

$t_t=\frac{d_t}{v_t}$

$t_t=\frac{30}{30}$

$t_t=1\ hr$

<u>time taken to cover the distance on the road:</u>

$t_r=\frac{d_r}{v_r}$

$t_r=\frac{70}{130}$

$t_r=\frac{7}{13}\ hr$

<u>Now the distance covered on terrain in the total time:</u>

$D= v_r\times (t_r+t_t)$

$D= 130\times (\frac{7}{13}+1)$

$D=130\times \frac{20}{13}\$

$D=200\ km$

<em>is the distance the vehicle must target on the road to minimize the time taken in going off the road.</em>

A rocket sled with an initial mass of 3 metric tons, invluding 1 ton of fuel, rests on a level section of track. At t=0, the sol

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

v = 719.2 m / s and a = 83.33 m / s²

Explanation:

This is a rocket propulsion system where the system is made up of the rocket plus the ejected mass, where the final velocity is

v - v₀ = $v_{e}$ ln (M₀ / M)

where v₀ is the initial velocity, v_{e} the velocity of the gases with respect to the rocket and M₀ and M the initial and final masses of the rocket

In this case, if fuel burns at 75 kg / s, we can calculate the fuel burned for the 10 s

m_fuel = 75 10

m_fuel = 750 kg

As the rocket initially had a mass of 3000 kg including 1000 kg of fuel, there are still 250 kg, so the mass of the rocket minus the fuel burned is

M = 3000 -750 = 2250 kg

let's calculate

v - 0 = 2500 ln (3000/2250)

v = 719.2 m / s

To calculate the acceleration, let's use the concept of the rocket thrust, which is the force of the gases on it. In the case of the rocket, it is

Push = v_{e} dM / dt

let's calculate

Push = 2500 75

Push = 187500 N

If we use Newton's second law

F = m a

a = F / m

let's calculate

a = 187500/2250

a = 83.33 m / s²
