A 0.454-kg block is attached to a horizontal spring that is at its equilibrium length, and whose force constant is 21.0 N/m. The

block rests on a frictionless surface. A 5.90×10−2-kg wad of putty is thrown horizontally at the block, hitting it with a speed of 8.97 m/s and sticking.

Answer:

a. Δx = 2.59 cm

Explanation:

mb = 0.454 kg , mp = 5.9 x 10 ⁻² kg , vp = 8.97 m / s , k = 21.0 N / m

Using momentum conserved

mb * (0) + mp * vp = ( mb + mp ) * vf

vf = ( mp / mp + mb) * vp

¹/₂ * ( mp + mb) * (mp / mp +mb) ² * vp ² = ¹/₂ * k * Δx²

Solve to Δx '

Δx = √ ( mp² * vp² ) / ( k * ( mp + mb )

Δx = √ ( ( 5.9 x 10⁻² kg ) ² * (8.97  m /s) ²  / [ 21.0 N / m * ( 5.9 x10 ⁻² kg + 0.454 kg ) ]

Δx = 0.02599 m  ⇒ 2.59 cm

A 265 g mass attached to a horizontal spring oscillates at a frequency of 3.40 Hz . At t =0s, the mass is at x= 6.20 cm and has
lara [203]

Answer:

The phase constant is 7.25 degree  

Explanation:

given data

mass = 265 g

frequency = 3.40 Hz

time t = 0 s

x = 6.20 cm

vx = - 35.0 cm/s

solution

as phase constant is express as

y = A cosФ ..............1

here A is amplitude that is = \sqrt{(\frac{v_x}{\omega })^2+y^2 }  = \sqrt{(\frac{35}{2\times \pi  \times y})^2+6.2^2 }  =  6.25 cm

put value in equation 1

6.20 = 6.25 cosФ

cosФ  = 0.992

Ф = 7.25 degree  

so the phase constant is 7.25 degree

OleMash [197]

Answer:

Law of refraction

Explanation:

An experiment to analyze the refraction of light in water can easily be performed with a laser pointer and protractor.

We throw the fishing rod line into the water, place the protractor at the point where the line touches the water and use the direction of the line for the direction of the laser pointer (on), the laser is visible by the reflection on the particles in the air.

The vertical line is called Normal and all angles must be measured with respect to this reference in optics.

Having these angles and the refractive index of water we can use the law of refraction

         n₁ sin θ₁  = n₂ sin θ₂

         θ₂ = sin^{-1} ( \frac{n_1}{n_2} \ sin \ \theta_1 )

we can repeat several times to analyze several different input points (different angles) and to decrease the errors in the measurements.

the refractive index of air is n1 = 1 and n2= 1.33  (water)
