Answer:

According to Newton's 2nd law

The force acting on a body produces acceleration in its direction which is directly propotional to the force but inversly propotinal to the mass of tbe body.

Explanation:

a = F/m

F = ma

Where( F) is force (m) is mass and (a) is acceleration.

A 1.8-kg object is attached to a spring and placed on frictionless, horizontal surface. A force of 40 N stretches a spring 20 cm
Sergio [31]

Answer:

a) k = 200 N/m

b) E = 4 J

c) Δx = 6.3 cm

Explanation:

a)

  • In order to find force constant of the spring, k, we can use the the Hooke's Law, which reads as follows:

       F = - k * \Delta x (1)

  • where F = 40 N and Δx =- 0.2 m (since the force opposes to the displacement from the equilibrium position, we say that it's a restoring force).
  • Solving for k:

       k =- \frac{F}{\Delta x} =-\frac{40 N}{-0.2m} = 200 N/m (2)

b)

  • Assuming no friction present, total mechanical energy mus keep constant.
  • When the spring is stretched, all the energy is elastic potential, and can be expressed as follows:

        U = \frac{1}{2}* k* (\Delta x)^{2} (3)

  • Replacing k and Δx by their values, we get:

       U = \frac{1}{2}* k* (\Delta x)^{2} = \frac{1}{2}* 200 N/m* (0.2m)^{2} = 4 J (4)

c)

  • When the object is oscillating, at any time, its energy will be part elastic potential, and part kinetic energy.
  • We know that due to the conservation of energy, this sum will be equal to the total energy that we found in b).
  • So, we can write the following expression:

        \frac{1}{2}* k* \Delta x_{1} ^{2} + \frac{1}{2} * m* v^{2}  = \frac{1}{2}*k*\Delta x^{2}   (5)

  • Replacing the right side of (5) with (4), k, m, and v by the givens, and simplifying, we can solve for Δx₁, as follows:

        \frac{1}{2}* 200N/m* \Delta x_{1} ^{2} + \frac{1}{2} * 1.8kg* (-2.0m/s)^{2}  = 4J   (6)

⇒      \frac{1}{2}* 200N/m* \Delta x_{1} ^{2}   = 4J  - 3.6 J = 0.4 J (7)

⇒     \Delta x_{1}   = \sqrt{\frac{0.8J}{200N/m} } = 6.3 cm (8)

Why is the motion of an athlete moving along the circular path with Constant speed considered to be an accelerated motion?
Strike441 [17]

The speed is changing its direction all the time. There is an acceleration which changes the direction of the speed – that is called centripetal acceleration. Only uniform linear motions are considered to have no acceleration.

This is the general formula for acceleration

a = dv/dt

When calculating dv, you should keep in mind the change in the velocity vector’s direction. You can easily see in a graph that with dt tending to 0 (so the length of the arc covered is also tending to 0), the difference between vectors Vf and V0 has a direction which is perpendicular to velocity (the shorter the arc, the closest the angle is to 90 degrees).

There is a formula (which can be deducted from the previous formula) which allows you to calculate the acceleration:

a = v^2/r

Let’s talk about the units:

v is in m/s

r is in m

so v^2/r

is in (m/s)^2/m = (m^2/s^2)/m = m/s^2

which is the same unit as dv/dt:

dv/dt = (m/s)/s= m/s^2
