A block suspended from a spring is oscillating vertically with a frequency of 4 Hz and an amplitude of 7 cm. A very small rock i

s placed on top of the oscillating block just as it reaches its lowest point. Assume that the rock has no effect on the oscillation. At what distance above the block’s equilibrium position does the rock lose contact with the block? (hint this occurs when the rock’s acceleration equals the value of gravity) What is the speed of the rock when it leaves the block? What is the greatest distance above the block’s equilibrium position reached by the rock? (Let t = 0 be when the rock is placed on the block)

Answer:

v = - 1,715 m / s ,   x = 0.0156 m

Explanation:

This is an oscillatory movement exercise, which is described by the expression

          x = A cos (wt + Ф)

we can assume that the block is released from its maximum elongation, so the phase constant (Ф) is zero

As we are told that the stone does not affect the movement of the spring mass system, the amplitude and angular velocity do not change, in the upward movement the stone is attached to the mass, but in the downward movement the mass has an acceleration greater than g leave the stone behind, let's look for time, for this we use the definition of speed and acceleration

         v = dx / dt

         v = - A w sin wt

          a = - Aw² cos wt

         a = -g

         -g = - Aw² cos wt

          wt = cos⁻¹ (g / Aw²)

          t = 1 / w cos⁻¹ (g / Aw²)

       

angular velocity and frequency are related

        w = 2π f

        w = 2π 4

         w = 8π   rad / s

remember that the angles are in radians

          t = 1 / 8π cos⁻¹ (9.8 / (0.07 64π²))

          t = 0.039789 1.3473

          t = 0.0536 s

let's find the speed for this time

          v = - A w sin wt

          v = - 0.07 8π sin (8π 0.0536)

          v = - 1,715 m / s

the distance is

           x = A cos wt

           x = 0.07 cos (8π 0.0536)

           x = 0.0156 m

A stone is thrown horizontally with an initial speed of 10 m/s from the edge of a cliff. A stopwatch measures the stone's trajec
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

The height of the cliff is 90.60 meters.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Initial horizontal speed of the stone, u = 10 m/s

Initial vertical speed of the stone, u' = 0 (as there is no motion in vertical direction)

The time taken by the stone from the top of the cliff to the bottom to be 4.3 s, t = 4.3 s

Let h is the height of the cliff. Using the second equation of motion in vertical direction to find it. It is given by :

h=u't+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

h=\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

h=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times (4.3)^2

h = 90.60 meters

So, the height of the cliff is 90.60 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.

At what displacement of a sho is the energy half kinetic and half potential? what fraction of the total energy of a sho is kinet
expeople1 [14]

As we know that KE and PE is same at a given position

so we will have as a function of position given as

KE = \frac{1}{2}m\omega^2(A^2 - x^2)

also the PE is given as function of position as

PE = \frac{1}{2}m\omega^2x^2

now it is given that

KE = PE

now we will have

\frac{1}{2}m\omega^2(A^2 - x^2) = \frac{1}{2}m\omega^2x^2

A^2 - x^2 = x^2

2x^2 = A^2

x = \frac{A}{\sqrt2}

so the position is 0.707 times of amplitude when KE and PE will be same

Part b)

KE of SHO at x = A/3

we can use the formula

KE = \frac{1}{2}m\omega^2(A^2 - x^2)

now to find the fraction of kinetic energy

f = \frac{KE}{TE} = \frac{A^2 - x^2}{A^2}

f = \frac{A^2 - (\frac{A}{3})^2}{A^2}

f_k = \frac{8}{9}

now since total energy is sum of KE and PE

so fraction of PE at the same position will be

f_{PE} = 1 - f_k

f_{PE} = 1 - (8/9) = 1/9

a baby carriage is sitting at the top of a hill that is 21 m high. The carriage with the baby weighs 12 Kg. how much energy does
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

The carriage has the energy, W = 2469.6 J

Explanation:

Given data,

The height of the hill, h = 21 m

The carriage with the baby weighs, m = 12 kg

The energy possessed by the body due to its position is the potential energy,

                                      <em>W = P.E = mgh joules</em>

Substituting the values,

                                       W = 12 x 9.8 x 21

                                            = 2469.6 J

Hence, the carriage has the energy, W = 2469.6 J
