Answer:

a) U = 0 J    

k = 0.393 J

E = 0.393 J

b) U = 0.0229J

k = 0.370 J

E = 0.393 J

c) U = 0.0914 J

k = 0.302 J

E = 0.393 J

d) U = 0.206 J

k = 0.187 J

E = 0.393 J

e) U = 0.366 J

k = 0.027 J

E = 0.393 J

Explanation:

Hi there!

The equations of kinetic energy and elastic potential energy are as follows:

k = 1/2 · m · v²

U = 1/2 · ks · x²

Where:

m = mass of the block.

v = velocity.

ks = spring constant.

x = displacement of the string.

a) When the spring is not compressed, the spring potential energy will be zero:

U = 1/2 · ks · x²

U = 1/2 · 457 N/m · (0 cm)²

U = 0 J

The kinetic energy of the block will be:

k = 1/2 · m · v²

k = 1/2 · 1.05 kg · (0.865 m/s)²

k = 0.393 J

The mechanical energy will be:

E = k + U = 0.393 J + 0 J = 0.393 J

This energy will be conserved, i.e., it will remain constant because there is no work done by friction nor by any other dissipative force (like air resistance). This means that the kinetic energy will be converted only into spring potential energy (there is no thermal energy due to friction, for example).

b) The spring potential energy will be:

U = 1/2 · 457 N/m · (0.01 m)²

U = 0.0229 J

Since the mechanical energy has to remain constant, we can use the equation of mechanical energy to obtain the kinetic energy:

E = k + U

0.393 J = k + 0.0229 J

0.393 J - 0.0229 J = k

k = 0.370 J

c) The procedure is now the same. Let´s calculate the spring potential energy with x = 0.02 m.

U = 1/2 · 457 N/m · (0.02 m)²

U = 0.0914 J

Using the equation of mechanical energy:

E = k + U

0.393 J = k + 0.0914 J

k = 0.393 J - 0.0914 J = 0.302 J

d) U = 1/2 · 457 N/m · (0.03 m)²

U = 0.206 J

E = 0.393 J

k = E - U = 0.393 J - 0.206 J

k = 0.187 J

e) U = 1/2 · 457 N/m · (0.04 m)²

U = 0.366 J

E = 0.393 J

k = E - U = 0.393 J - 0.366 J = 0.027 J.

A space probe has two engines. Each generates the same amount of force when fired, and the directions of these forces can be in-
Leto [7]

Answer:

t = 39.60 s

Explanation:

Let's take a careful look at this interesting exercise.

In the first case the two motors apply the force in the same direction

            F = m a₀          

           a₀ = F / m

with this acceleration it takes t = 28s to travel a distance, starting from rest

           x = v₀ t + ½ a t²

           x = ½ a₀ t²

           t² = 2x / a₀

           28² = 2x /a₀          (1)

in a second case the two motors apply perpendicular forces

we can analyze this situation as two independent movements, one in each direction

           

in the direction of axis a, there is a motor so its force is F/2

               

the acceleration on this axis is

          a = F/2m

          a = a₀ / 2

so if we use the distance equation

             x = v₀ t + ½ a t²

as part of rest v₀ = 0

             x = ½ (a₀ / 2) t²

             

let's clear the time

             t² = (2x / a₀)  2

we substitute the let of equation 1

             t² = 28² 2

             t = 28 √2

             t = 39.60 s

Find the frequency if the period is 15 us.
Sav [38]

Answer:

The frequency is 0.667× 10^{6} Hz.

Explanation:

  1. Period is defined as the time taken by any element to attempt one complete oscillatory motion in one second.
  2. Frequency is the number of complete oscillations made in one second.
  • Frequency and period are inversely proportional to each other.
  • In mathematical term: frequency = \frac{1}{period}.
  • As we are given, period = 15×10^{-6} s.
  • We can easily calculate frequency as: f\\= \frac{1}{15. 10^{-6} }
  • So frequency is f= 0.667× 10^{6} Hz.
