A 0.405 kg mass is attached to a spring with a force constant of 26.3 N/m and released from rest a distance of 3.31 cm from the

equilibrium position of the spring. Calculate the speed of the mass when it is halfway to the equilibrium position.

Answer:

0.231 m/s

Explanation:

m = mass attached to the spring = 0.405 kg

k = spring constant of spring = 26.3 N/m

x₀ = initial position = 3.31 cm = 0.0331 m

x = final position = (0.5) x₀ = (0.5) (0.0331) = 0.01655 m

v₀ = initial speed = 0 m/s

v = final speed = ?

Using conservation of energy

Initial kinetic energy + initial spring energy = Final kinetic energy + final spring energy

(0.5) m v₀² + (0.5) k x₀² = (0.5) m v² + (0.5) k x²

m v₀² + k x₀² = m v² + k x²

(0.405) (0)² + (26.3) (0.0331)² = (0.405) v² + (26.3) (0.01655)²

v = 0.231 m/s

R: Law of Conservation of Energy Pre-Write
Bad White [126]

Answer:

V at C is 3.6 m/s

Explanation:

At A kinetic energy is zero and potential energy=mgh=0.5*9.81*0.6=2.943 J

By conservation of energy.

KE+PE=Constant

At C PE=0.6 J

the KE=2.943-0.6=2.343 J

KE=0.5*m*v^2

v=√[KE/(0.5*m)]=3.06 m/s

An astronaut on the moon throws a baseball upward. the astronaut is 6ft, 6 in. tall and the initial velocity of the ball is 30 f
Ainat [17]
The equation is garbled and the question is missing.

I found this equation for the same statement:

S = - 2.7t ^2 + 30t + 6.5

And one question is: after how many seconds is the ball 12 feet above the moon's surface?

Given that S is the height of the ball, you just have to replace S with 12 and solve for t.

=> 12 = - 2.7 t^2 + 30t + 6.5

=> 2.7t^2 - 30t - 6.5 + 12 = 0

=> 2.7t^2 - 30t + 5.5 = 0

Now you can use the quadratic equation fo find t:

t = { 30 +/- √ [30^2) - 4(2.7)(5.5)] } / (2*2.7)

=> t = 0.186s and t = 10.925 s

Answer: after 0.186 s the ball is at 12 feet over the surface, and again 10.925 s

A laser beam is incident on two slits with a separation of 0.215 mm, and a screen is placed 5.45 m from the slits. an interferen
vladimir1956 [14]
Use: dsin(θ) = mλ  where d is slit separation, m is fringe order (1 here), and 
θ = 0.183
Now λ = dsin(θ) /m = (0.215e-3)(sin(0.183))/1 = 6.867e-7 or λ = 687.7nm

What is the tangential speed of a point on a wheel of a car if the point is located 0.114 m from the axis of rotation; and the w
Svetach [21]

Answer:

Tangential speed = R * w  where w is the angular speed

For a wheel   v = .114 m * 6.53 / sec = .744 m/s

Note that this is the tangential speed - If the wheel were moving at speed V then as viewed from the ground you have

top V + v

bottom   V - v

That is the wheel also has speed due to the speed of the axle (axis of rotation)
