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 traveling wave on a string can be described by the equation : y = (5.26 ~\text{m}) \cdot \sin \big( (1.65 ~\frac{\text{rad}}{\
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

  t = 1.77 s

Explanation:

The equation of a traveling wave is

       y = A sin [2π (x /λ -t /T)]

where A is the oscillation amplitude, λ the wavelength and T the period

the speed of the wave is constant and is given by

      v = λ f

Where the frequency and period are related

     f = 1 / T

we substitute

      v = λ / T

let's develop the initial equation

    y = A sin [(2π / λ) x - (2π / T) t +Ф]

where Ф is a phase constant given by the initial conditions

the equation given in the problem is

    y = 5.26 sin (1.65 x - 4.64 t + 1.33)

if we compare the terms of the two equations

 

         2π /λ = 1.65

          λ = 2π / 1.65

          λ = 3.81 m

         2π / T = 4.64

          T = 2π / 4.64

          T = 1.35 s

we seek the speed of the wave

           v = 3.81 / 1.35

           v = 2.82 m / s

           

Since this speed is constant, we use the uniformly moving ratios

          v = d / t

           t = d / v

           t = 5 / 2.82

           t = 1.77 s
