At what displacement of a sho is the energy half kinetic and half potential? what fraction of the total energy of a sho is kinet

expeople1 [14]

As we know that KE and PE is same at a given position

so we will have as a function of position given as

$KE = \frac{1}{2}m\omega^2(A^2 - x^2)$

also the PE is given as function of position as

$PE = \frac{1}{2}m\omega^2x^2$

now it is given that

KE = PE

now we will have

$\frac{1}{2}m\omega^2(A^2 - x^2) = \frac{1}{2}m\omega^2x^2$

$A^2 - x^2 = x^2$

$2x^2 = A^2$

$x = \frac{A}{\sqrt2}$

so the position is 0.707 times of amplitude when KE and PE will be same

Part b)

KE of SHO at x = A/3

we can use the formula

$KE = \frac{1}{2}m\omega^2(A^2 - x^2)$

now to find the fraction of kinetic energy

$f = \frac{KE}{TE} = \frac{A^2 - x^2}{A^2}$

$f = \frac{A^2 - (\frac{A}{3})^2}{A^2}$

$f_k = \frac{8}{9}$

now since total energy is sum of KE and PE

so fraction of PE at the same position will be

$f_{PE} = 1 - f_k$

$f_{PE} = 1 - (8/9) = 1/9$

A moving particle encounters an external electric field that decreases its kinetic energy from 9520 eV to 7060 eV as the particl

Sati [7]

Given Information:

KEa = 9520 eV

KEb = 7060 eV

Electric potential = Va = -55 V

Electric potential = Vb = +27 V

Required Information:

Charge of the particle = q = ?

Answer:

Charge of the particle = +4.8x10⁻¹⁸ C

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of energy, we have

ΔKE = -qΔV

KEb - KEa = -q(Vb - Va)

-q = KEb - KEa/Vb - Va

-q = 7060 - 9520/27 - (-55)

-q = 7060 - 9520/27 + 55

-q = -2460/82

minus sign cancels out

q = 2460/82

Convert eV into Joules by multiplying it with 1.60x10⁻¹⁹

q = 2460(1.60x10⁻¹⁹)/82

q = +4.8x10⁻¹⁸ C

To visit your favorite ice cream shop, you must travel 490 m west on Main Street and then 920 m south on Division Street. Suppos

topjm [15]

Answer:

a) The magnitude of your average velocity during the 121 s is 8.61 m/s.

b) The direction of the average velocity is 61.9° south of west.

c) Your average speed during the trip is 11.7 m/s

Explanation:

Hi there!

a) The average velocity (a.v) is calculated as the displacement divided by the time it took to do such a displacement.

The displacement is calculated as the distance between the initial position and the final position:

Displacement = Δ(x,y) = final position - initial position

Let's consider that your initial position is the origin of our frame of reference and let's also consider that west and south are positive directions (+x and +y respectively). Then the displacement vector will be:

Δ(x,y) = final positon - initial position

Δ(x,y) = (490, 920) m - (0, 0) m = (490, 920) m

The average velocity will be:

a.v = Δ(x,y) / t

a.v = (490, 920) m / 121 s

a.v = (4.05, 7.60) m/s

The magnitude of the average velocity is calculated as follows:

The magnitude of your average velocity during the 121 s is 8.61 m/s.

b) To find the direction of the average velocity, we have to use trigonometric rules of right triangles. Notice that the x and y-components of the average velocity (vx and vy) together with the average velocity vector (v), with magnitude 8.61 m/s, form a triangle (see figure).

Also, notice that v is the hypotenuse of the triangle and that vx is the side adjacent to the angle θ while vy is the side opposite to θ.

Using trigonometry, we can calculate the value of the angle θ:

cos θ = adjacent side / hypotenuse

cos θ = vx / v

cos θ = 4.05 m/s / 8.61 m/s

θ = 61.9°

The direction of the average velocity is 61.9° south of west.

c) The average speed (a.s) is calculated as the traveled distance (d) divided by the time it took to cover that distance (t). In total, you traveled (490 m + 920 m) 1410 m in 121 s, then the average speed will be:

a.s = d/t

a.s = 1410 m / 121 s

a.s = 11.7 m/s

Your average speed during the trip is 11.7 m/s
