You have a two-wheel trailer that you pull behind your ATV. Two children with a combined mass of 77.2 kg hop on board for a ride

through the woods and the springs (one for each wheel) each compress by 6.37 cm. When you pull the trailer over a tree root in the trail, it oscillates with a period of 2.14 s. Determine the following.
(a) force constant of the springs 2274.43 X How is the force constant of a spring related to the force the spring exerts when it is stretched or compressed? N/m
(b) mass of the trailer kg
(c) frequency of the oscillation Hz
(d) time it takes for the trailer to bounce up and down 10 times.

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the kinematic equations of motion and Hook's law.

By Hook's law we know that force is defined as,

F= kx

Where,

k = spring constant

x = Displacement change

PART A) For the case of the spring constant we can use the above equation and clear k so that

k= \frac{F}{x}

k = \frac{mg}{x}

k= \frac{77.2*9.8}{0.0637}

k = 11876.92N/m

Therefore the spring constant for each one is 11876.92/2 = 5933.46N/m

PART B) In the case of speed we can obtain it through the period, which is given by

T = \frac{2\pi}{\omega}

Re-arrange to find \omega,

\omega = \frac{2\pi}{T}

\omega = \frac{2\pi}{2.14}

\omega = 2.93rad/s

Then through angular kinematic equations where angular velocity is given as a function of mass and spring constant we have to

\omega^2 = \frac{k}{m}

m = \frac{k}{\omega^2}

m = \frac{ 11876.92}{2.93}

m = 4093.55Kg

Therefore the mass of the trailer is 4093.55Kg

PART C) The frequency by definition is inversely to the period therefore

f = \frac{1}{T}

f = \frac{1}{2.14}

f = 0.4672 Hz

Therefore the frequency of the oscillation is 0.4672 Hz

PART D) The time it takes to make the route 10 times would be 10 times the period, that is

t_T = 10*T

t_T = 10 *2.14s

t_T = 21.4s

Therefore the total time it takes for the trailer to bounce up and down 10 times is 21.4s

Answer:

x=2.4365\ m

and

x=-1.4365\ m

Explanation:

Given:

  • first charge, q_1=5\times 10^{-3}\ C
  • second charge, q_2=3\times 10^{-3}\ C
  • position of first charge, x_1=-2\ m
  • position of second charge, x_2=-1\ m

Now since there are only 2 charges and of the same sign so they repel each other. This repulsion will be zero at some point on the line joining the charges.

<u>Now, according to the condition, electric field will be zero where the effects of field due to both the charges is equal.</u>

E_1=E_2

  • since first charge is greater than the second charge so we may get a point to the right of the second charge and the distance between the two charges is 1 meter.

\frac{1}{4\pi.\epsilon_0} \frac{q_1}{(r+1)^2} =\frac{1}{4\pi.\epsilon_0} \frac{q_2}{(r)^2}

\frac{5\times 10^{-3}}{(r+1)^2} = \frac{3\times 10^{-3}}{(r)^2}

3(r^2+1+2r)=5r^2

2r^2-6r-3=0

r=3.4365 \&\ r=-0.4365

Since we have assumed that the we may get a point to the right of second charge so we calculate with respect to the origin.

x=-1+3.4365=2.4365\ m

and

x=-1-0.4365=-1.4365\ m

shepuryov [24]

<u> Answer </u>

The impulse on the second trial is smaller is smaller than in the first trial.

<u>Explanation </u>

Impose of a body is that change in momentum during a time interval. If the change of momentum takes longer then, the impulse of a force is less. I a moving object hits a hard surface the rate of change of momentum is very high. e.i in the first trial, the egg breaks because it hits the hard surface(ground).

In the second trial, the foam cushion absorbs the shock and prolongs the time of impact with the egg hence decreasing the impulse.

When a object slows down what direction is the force going?
trapecia [35]

Answer: when a object gets slowed down, it's force is either going into friction and drag, if it's on the ground, and weight+drag+friction, if it's in the air.
