Complete Question

The diagram for this question is showed on the first uploaded image (reference homework solutions )

Answer:

The  velocity at the bottom is  v  = 11.76  \ m/ s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  total distance traveled is  d =  1.2  \ m

    The mass of the block is  m_b  =  0.3 \ kg

      The  height of the block from the ground is h =  0.60 m  

According the law of  energy  

   PE  =  KE

Where  PE  is the potential energy which is mathematically represented as

      PE  =  m * g  *  h

substituting values

     PE  =   3 *  9.8  *  0.60

      PE  =  17.64 \  J

So

   KE  is the kinetic energy at the bottom which is mathematically represented as

          KE  =  \frac{1}{2}  *  m v^2

So

      \frac{1}{2}  *  m* v ^2  =  PE

substituting values  

  =>    \frac{1}{2}  *  3 * v ^2  = 17.64

=>       v  = \sqrt{ \frac{ 17.64}{ 0.5 * 3 } }

=>    v  = 11.76  \ m/ s

On Earth, a spring stretches by 5.0 cm when a mass of 3.0 kg is suspended from one end.
Neko [114]

Answer:

Mass = 18.0 kg

Explanation:

From Hooke's law,

F = ke

where: F is the force, k is the spring constant and e is the extension.

But, F = mg

So that,

mg = ke

On the Earth, let the gravitational force be 10 m/s^{2}.

3.0 x 10 = k x 5.0

30 = 5k

⇒ k = \frac{30}{5} ................ 1

On the Moon, the gravitational force is \frac{1}{6} of that on the Earth.

m x \frac{10}{6} = k x 5.0

\frac{10m}{6} = 5k

⇒ k = \frac{10m}{30} ............. 2

Equating 1 and 2, we have;

\frac{30}{5}  = \frac{10m}{30}

m = \frac{900}{50}

    = 18.0

m = 18.0 kg

The mass required to produce the same extension on the Moon is 18 kg.

A particle moving along the x-axis has its velocity described by the function vx =2t2m/s, where t is in s. its initial position
Nesterboy [21]

The position of the object at time t =2.0 s is <u>6.4 m.</u>

Velocity vₓ of a body is the rate at which the position x of the object changes with time.

Therefore,

v_x= \frac{dx}{dt}

Write an equation for x.

dx=v_xdt\\ x=\int v_xdt

Substitute the equation for vₓ =2t² in the integral.

x=\int v_xdt\\ =\int2t^2dt\\ =\frac{2t^3}{3} +C

Here, the constant of integration is C and it is determined by applying initial conditions.

When t =0, x = 1. 1m

x= \frac{2t^3}{3} +C\\ x_0=1.1\\ x= (\frac{2t^3}{3} +1.1)m

Substitute 2.0s for t.

x= (\frac{2t^3}{3} +1.1)m\\ =\frac{2(2.0)^3}{3} +1.1\\ =6.43 m

The position of the particle at t =2.0 s is <u>6.4m</u>

In an RC circuit, what fraction of the final energy is stored in an initially uncharged capacitor after it has been charging for
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

The  fraction fraction of the final energy is stored in an initially uncharged capacitor after it has been charging for 3.0 time constants is  

      k  = 0.903

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The time  constant  \tau  =  3

The potential across the capacitor can be mathematically represented as

     V  =  V_o  (1 -  e^{- \tau})

Where V_o is the voltage of the capacitor when it is fully charged

    So   at  \tau  =  3

     V  =  V_o  (1 -  e^{- 3})

     V  =  0.950213 V_o

   Generally energy stored in a capacitor is mathematically represented as

             E = \frac{1}{2 } * C  * V ^2

In this equation the energy stored is directly proportional to the the square of the potential across the capacitor

Now  since capacitance is  constant  at  \tau  =  3

        The  energy stored can be evaluated at as

         V^2 =  (0.950213 V_o )^2

       V^2 =  0.903  V_o ^2

Hence the fraction of the energy stored in an initially uncharged capacitor is  

      k  = 0.903
