When a body of mass 0.25 kg is attached to a vertical massless spring, it is extended 5.0 cm from its unstretched length of 4.0

lora16 [44]

Answer:

$d=0.165m$

Explanation:

Given

$m=0.25kg$ , $x_{1}=5cm*\frac{1m}{100cm}=0.05m$ , $x_{2}=4cm*\frac{1m}{100cm}=0.04m$ , $v=2\frac{rev}{s}$

The tension of the spring is

$F_{k}=K*x_{1}=m*g$

$K=\frac{m*g}{x_{1}}$

$K=\frac{0.25kg*9.8m/s^2}{0.05m}=49N/m$

The force in the spring is equal to centripetal force so

$F_{c}=\frac{m*v^2}{r}$

$v=w*r=2\pi*r$

But Fc is also

Fc=KxΔr

$F_{c}=K*(r-x_{2})$

Replacing

$m*4\pi^2*r=K*(r-x_{2})$

$0.25kg*4\pi^2*r=49*(r-0.04m)$

$r=0.205m$

total distance is

$d=0.205-0.04=0.165m$

Suppose you want to determine the resistance of a resistor that is nominally 100 . You should be able to apply 10 V across the r

Butoxors [25]

Answer:

a) For y = 102 mA, R = 98.039 ohms

For y = 97 mA, R = 103.09 ohms

b) Check explanatios for b

Explanation:

Applied voltage, V = 10 V

For the first measurement, current $y_{1} = 102 mA = 0.102 A$

According to ohm's law, V = IR

R = V/I

Here, $I = y_{1}$

$R = \frac{V}{y_{1} } \\R = \frac{10}{0.102} \\R = 98.039 ohms$

For the second measurement, current $y_{2} = 97 mA = 0.097 A$

$R = \frac{V}{y_{2} }$

$R = \frac{10}{0.097} \\R = 103 .09 ohms$

b) $y = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}y_{1} &y_{2} \end{array}\right] ^{T}$

$y = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}y_{1} \\y_{2} \end{array}\right]$

$y = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}102*10^{-3} \\97*10^{-3} \end{array}\right]$

A linear equation is of the form y = Gx

The nominal value of the resistance = 100 ohms

$x = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}100\end{array}\right]$

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}102*10^{-3} \\97*10^{-3} \end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}G_{1} \\G_{2} \end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{ccc}100\end{array}\right]\\\left[\begin{array}{ccc}G_{1} \\G_{2} \end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}102*10^{-5} \\97*10^{-5} \end{array}\right]$

A person with mass mp = 74 kg stands on a spinning platform disk with a radius of R = 2.31 m and mass md = 183 kg. The disk is i

timurjin [86]

Answer:

1) 883 kgm2

2) 532 kgm2

3) 2.99 rad/s

4) 944 J

5) 6.87 m/s2

6) 1.8 rad/s

Explanation:

1)Suppose the spinning platform disk is solid with a uniform distributed mass. Then its moments of inertia is:

$I_d = m_dR^2/2 = 183*2.31^2/2 = 488 kgm^2$

If we treat the person as a point mass, then the total moment of inertia of the system about the center of the disk when the person stands on the rim of the disk:

$I_{rim} = I_d + m_pR^2 = 488 + 74*2.31^2 = 883 kgm^2$

2) Similarly, he total moment of inertia of the system about the center of the disk when the person stands at the final location 2/3 of the way toward the center of the disk (1/3 of the radius from the center):

$I_{R/3} = I_d + m_p(R/3)^2 = 488 + 74*(2.31/3)^2 = 532 kgm^2$

3) Since there's no external force, we can apply the law of momentum conservation to calculate the angular velocity at R/3 from the center:

$I_{rim}\omega_{rim} = I_{R/3}\omega_{R/3}$

$\omega_{R/3} = \frac{I_{rim}\omega_{rim}}{I_{R/3}}$

$\omega_{R/3} = \frac{883*1.8}{532} = 2.99 rad/s$

4)Kinetic energy before:

$E_{rim} = I_{rim}\omega_{rim}^2/2 = 883*1.8^2/2 = 1430 J$

Kinetic energy after:

$E_{R/3} = I_{R/3}\omega_{R/3}^2/2 = 532*2.99^2/2 = 2374 J$

So the change in kinetic energy is: 2374 - 1430 = 944 J

5) $a_c = \omega_{R/3}^2(R/3) = 2.99^2*(2.31/3) = 6.87 m/s^2$

6) If the person now walks back to the rim of the disk, then his final angular speed would be back to the original, which is 1.8 rad/s due to conservation of angular momentum.

Which of the following are possible causes of mass extinctions that scientists have identified

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

over harvesting, pollution, introduction of invasive species such as new predators and food competitors

Explanation:

The main cause of mass extinction is Humans cause extinction of a species through overharvesting. The second main cause is pollution ., introduction of invasive species such as new predators and food competitors, habitat destruction, overhunting and other influences. Another very important cause of mass extinction is the unsustainable human population growth.

The five mass extinction events are

Ordovician Mass Extinction

Devonian Mass Extinction

Permian Mass Extinction

Triassic -Jurassic Mass Extinction

and Cretaceous -Tertiary (or the K-T) Mass Extinction.
