A metal block of mass 3 kg is falling downward and has velocity of 0.44 m/s when it is 0.8 m above the floor. It strikes the top

of a relaxed vertical spring of length 0.4 m. The spring constant is 2000 N/m. After striking the spring, the block rebounds. What is the maximum height above the floor that the block reaches after the impact

Answer:

y_{max} = 0.829\,m

Explanation:

Let assume that one end of the spring is attached to the ground. The speed of the metal block when hits the relaxed vertical spring is:

v = \sqrt{(0.8\,\frac{m}{s})^{2} + 2\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )\cdot (0.4\,m)}

v = 2.913\,\frac{m}{s}

The maximum compression of the spring is calculated by using the Principle of Energy Conservation:

(3\,kg)\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}})\cdot (0.4\,m) + \frac{1}{2}\cdot (3\,kg)\cdot (2.913\,\frac{m}{s} )^{2} = (3\,kg) \cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}})\cdot (0.4\,m-\Delta s) + \frac{1}{2}\cdot (2000\,\frac{N}{m})\cdot (\Delta s) ^{2}

After some algebraic handling, a second-order polynomial is formed:

12.728\,J = \frac{1}{2}\cdot (2000\,\frac{N}{m} )\cdot (\Delta s)^{2} - (3\,kg)\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )\cdot \Delta s

1000\cdot (\Delta s)^{2}-29.421\cdot \Delta s - 12.728 = 0

The roots of the polynomial are, respectively:

\Delta s_{1} \approx 0.128\,m

\Delta s_{2} \approx -0.099\,m

The first root is the only solution that is physically reasonable. Then, the elongation of the spring is:

\Delta s \approx 0.128\,m

The maximum height that the block reaches after rebound is:

(3\,kg) \cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )\cdot (0.4\,m-\Delta s) + \frac{1}{2}\cdot (2000\,\frac{N}{m})\cdot (\Delta s)^{2} = (3\,kg)\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )\cdot y_{max}

y_{max} = 0.829\,m

Answer:

0.81 m

Explanation:

In all moment, the total energy is constant:

Energy of sistem = kinetics energy + potencial energy = CONSTANT

So, it doesn't matter what happens when the block hit the spring, what matters are the (1) and (2) states:

(1): metal block to 0.8 m above the floor

(2): metal block above the floor, with zero velocity ( how high, is the X)

<u>Then:</u>

<u />E_{kb1} + E_{gb1}  = E_{kb2} + E_{gs2}<u />

<u />E_{kb1} + E_{gb1}  = 0 + E_{gs2}<u />

<u />\frac{1}{2}*m*V_{b1} ^{2}   + m*g*H_{b1}  = m*g*H_{b2}<u />

<u />H_{b2}  =  \frac{V_{b1} ^{2} }{2g}  + H_{b1}<u />

<u>Replacing data:</u>

<u />H_{b2}  =  \frac{0.44^{2} }{2*9.81}  + 0.8<u />

<u />H_{b2}  =  \frac{0.44^{2} }{2*9.81}  + 0.4<u />

HB2 ≈ 0.81 m

<u />

The formation of the outer planets are affected by their distance from the sun with having them to maintain the lighter elements that they are composed of such as the hydrogen and helium, having them far away will also make their planet more cooler as the sun is distant from them.

An aluminum wire is 5.87 m long and has a diameter of 6.07 mm.
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer: 5.72 x 10-3Ω

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question, first we have to calculate the cross sectional area of the cable:

Diameter (D)=6.07 mm

Since: 1000mm = 1m

6.07mm/ 1000mm/m = 0.00607 meters

Area of a circle : π (d/2)^2

A = π (0.00607/2)^2= 0.000028937 m2

Resistance formula:

Resistance (R) = P(resistivity) L (length)÷A (cross sectional area )

Replacing with the values given:

R = (2.82x10-8 x 5.87) / 0.000028937

R = 5.72 x 10-3Ω

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

1.33 m^3 of fluid flows out of a pipe in 24.5 s. the fluid leaves the pipe at 3.55 m/s. what is the area of the pipe. (unit=m^2)
Margaret [11]

Answer:

0.015meter^{2}

Explanation:

Total volume of water coming out = 1.33meter^{3}

Also volume = Cross sectional area*Length covered

Length covered = Velocity *time

                           =24.5*3.55

                           =86.97 meter

Let the cross sectional area be A.

1.33 = 86.97*A

A =0.015meter^{2}

A woman is 160160cm tall. What is the minimum vertical length of a mirror in which she can see her entire body while standing up
kipiarov [429]

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

A woman is 160cm tall. What is the minimum vertical length of a mirror in which she can see her entire body while standing upright.

Hint: Consider the ray diagram below, of the rays that enable her to see her feet and the top of her head.

Use what you know about the law of reflection, together with a bit geometry.

The missing Image is uploaded along this answer below.

Answer:

the minimum vertical length of a mirror in which she can see her entire body while standing upright is 80 cm

Explanation:

Given the data in the question and illustrated in the image below,

From image 2;

The distance from the woman's eyes to the top of her head is represented as b and a represent the distance from her eyes to her feet.

Therefore, since her height is 160 cm

a + b = 160 ------ let this be equation 1

i.e AD + DG = 160 cm

Now, from the same image 2, we will notice that triangle ABC and tringle CBD are similar, so

∠ABC = ∠CBD

AC = CD

since AD = a and AC + CD = A

AC = CD = a/2

Also, triangle DEF and FEG are si,ilar

∠DEF = ∠FEG

so

DF = FG

since DG = b and DF + FG = b

DF = b/2

so the minimum vertical length of a mirror in which the woman can see her entire body while standing upright will be;

⇒ a/2 + b/2  

⇒ a + b / 2

from equation 1, a + b = 160

so

⇒ a + b / 2 = 160 / 2 = 80

Therefore, the minimum vertical length of a mirror in which she can see her entire body while standing upright is 80 cm

you measured the torque caused by the gyroscope's weight by lifting up the end of the gyroscope (at 7.5 inches). If you measured
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

i) No, the spring scale does not read a different value

ii) The torque will read a different value, it will reduce

iii) The spring scale does not need to be measured at the center of mass location.

Explanation:

The torque caused by the gyroscope can be given by the relation,

\tau = r × f

\tau = rf cos \theta

The torque measured by the gyroscope varies directly with the distance, r.

A decrease in the distance r will also cause a decrease in the value of the torque measured. When the distance, r is reduced from 7.5 inches to 5 inches, the torque caused by the gyroscope's weight also reduces.

The weight of the gyroscope remains constant despite the reduction in the distance because the weight  of the gyroscope is not a function of the distance from the gyroscope. Therefore, the spring scale will not read a different value.

Yes, the spring scale does not need to be measured from the center of mass location because the weight does not depend on the location of measurement. The reading of the sprig scale remains constant.
