Answer:

Explanation:

Depression = .75 x 10⁻² m

Load = 120 g

Spring constant = 120g / .75 x 10⁻²

= 160 x 10² g / m

b )

Depression by player

= .48 x 10⁻² m

His weight

= .48 x 10⁻² x 160 x 10² g

= 76.8 kg

So he is eligible.

A 0.37-kg object connected to a light spring with a force constant of 23.2 N/m oscillates on a frictionless horizontal surface.
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

a) v = 31.67 cm / s , b)   v = -29.36 cm / s , c) v= 29.36 cm/s, d) x = 3.46 cm

Explanation:

The angular velocity in a simple harmonic movement is

       w = √ K / m

       w = √ 23.2 / 0.37

       w = 7,918 rad / s

a) the expression against the movement is

        x = A cos (wt + Ф)

Speed ​​is

        v = dx / dt = - A w sin (wt + Ф)

 The maximum speed occurs for cos = ± 1

        v = A w

        v = 4.0 7,918

        v = 31.67 cm / s

b) as the object is released from rest

        0 = -A w sin (0+ Фi)

        sin Ф = 0

         Ф = 0

The equation is

        x = 4.0 cos (7,918 t)

        v = -4.0 7,918 sin (7,918 t)

        v = - 31.67 sin (7.918t)

     

Let's look for the time for a displacement of x = 1.5 cm, remember that the angles must be in radians

          7,918 t = cos⁻¹ 1.5 / 4.0

          t = 1,186 / 7,918

          t = 0.1498 s

We look for speed

         v = -31.67 sin (7,918 0.1498)

         v = -29.36 cm / s

c) if the object passes the equilibrium equilibrium position again at this point the velocity has the same module, but the opposite sign

         v = 29.36 cm / s

d) let's look for the time for the condition v = v_max / 2

         31.67 / 2 = 31.67 sin ( 7,918 t)

          7.918t = sin⁻¹ 0.5

         t = 0.5236 / 7.918

         t = 0.06613

With this time let's look for displacement

         x = 4.0 cos (7,918 0.06613)

        x = 3.46 cm

Why do all planets rotate around the sun in the ssame direction
Nutka1998 [239]
This is because of the conservation of angular momentum, which allows most planets to spin in the same direction, but Venus and Uranus have seem to ignore this as they spin in different directions, as Venus spins clockwise and Uranus is on its side
