A brick of mass m = 0.21 kg is set against a spring with a spring constant of k1 = 690 N/m which has been compressed by a distan

ce of 0.1 m. Some distance in front of it, along a frictionless surface, is another spring with a spring constant of k2 = 489 N/m.
(A) How far d2, in meters, will the second spring compress when the block runs into it?
(B) How fast v, in meters per second, will the block be moving when it strikes the second spring?
(C) Now assume friction is present on the surface in between the ends of the springs at their equilibrium lengths, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is ?k = 0.5. If the distance between the springs is x = 1 m, how far d2, in meters, will the second spring now compress?

Answer:

Part a)

x = 0.12 m

Part b)

v = 5.73 m/s

Part c)

x = 0.11 m

Explanation:

Part a)

As per energy conservation we can say

Energy stored in spring 1 = energy stored in spring 2

\frac{1}{2}k_1x_1^2 = \frac{1}{2}k_2x_2^2

now we have

k_1 = 690 N/m

x_1 = 0.1 m

k_2 = 489 N/m

x_2 = ?

now from above equation

(690)(0.1^2) = 489(x^2)

x = 0.12 m

Part b)

To find the speed of the block we can say that its kinetic energy is gained due to spring energy

so we have

\frac{1}{2}kx^2 = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

now we have

\frac{1}{2}(690)(0.1^2) = \frac{1}{2}(0.21)v^2

v = 5.73 m/s

Part c)

When friction is present between two springs then we have energy loss due to friction force

so we have

\frac{1}{2}k_1x_1^2 - \mu mgd = \frac{1}{2}k_2x_2^2

now we have

\frac{1}{2}(690)(0.1)^2 - (0.2)(0.21)(9.8)(1) = \frac{1}{2}(489) x^2

3.45 - 0.4116 = 244.5 x^2

x = 0.11 m

The length of vector A is 93.8 meters and the length of Ay is 38.4 meters, then the length of A, must be
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

85.556metres

Explanation:

Using pythagorean theorem

C²=A²+B²

we have c as the hypotenuse vector A thus:

93.8²=A²+38.4²

93.8²-38.4²=A²

8794.44-1474.56=A²

7319.88=A²

A=85.556

Frequency is measured in units called?
irina1246 [14]
The frequency, f, of a wave is the number of waves passing a point in a certain time. We normally use a time of one second, so this gives frequency the unit hertz (Hz), since one hertz is equal to one wave per second.

2.1) (i) W = mg downwards
(ii) N = R = Normal Reaction from the ground upwards
(iii) Fe = Force of engine towards the right
(iv) f = friction towards the left
(v) ma = Constant acceleration towards right.
2.2.1)
v = 25 m/s
u = 0 m/s
∆v = v - u = (25 - 0) m/s = 25 m/s
x = X
∆t = 50 s
a \:  =  \:  \frac{dv}{dt}  \:  =  \:  \frac{25 \:  \frac{m}{s} }{50 \: s} \:  =  \: 0.5 \:  \frac{m}{ {s}^{2} }
a = 0.5 m/s².
2.2.2)
F = ma = 900 kg × 0.5 m/s² = 450 N.
2.2.3)
2ax \:  =  \:  {v}^{2}  \:  -  \:  {u}^{2}
x \:  =  \:  \frac{ {v}^{2}  \:   -  \:  {u}^{2} }{2a}  \:  =  \:   \frac{{(25 \:  \frac{m}{s})}^{2}  \:  -  \:  {(0 \:  \frac{m}{s} )}^{2} }{2 \:  \times  \: 0.5 \:  \frac{m}{ {s}^{2} } } \:  =  \: 625 \: m
2.3)
Fe = f + ma
Fe - f = ma
For velocity to be constant,
a should be 0, or, a = 0,
Fe = f = 270 N
2.4.1)
v = 0
u = 25 m/s
a = -0.5 m/s²
v = u + at
t = -u/a = -(25)/(-0.5) = 50 s.
2.4.2)
x = -625/(2×(-0.5)) = 625 m.

Three-fourths of the area of a rectangular lawn 30 feet wide by 40 feet long is to be enclosed by a rectangular fence. If the en
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

The fence is 5feet less.

Explanation:

We need to determine

The less amount of fence required, if the enclosure has full width and reduced length, compared to full length and reduced width.

Approach & WorkingArea of lawn = 30 × 403/4th of the area of lawn = ¾(30 × 40) = 30 * 30

 When full width will be fenced, and reduced length will be fenced.

Width = 30 feet30 * L = 30 * 30Hence, length = 30 feetLength of fence needed = 2(30 + 30) = 120 feet

When full length will be fenced, and reduced width will be fenced

Length = 40 feet40 * W = 30 * 30W = 22.5 feetLength of fence needed = 2(40 + 22.5) = 125 feet

Difference in length of fence needed = 125 – 120 = 5 feet.
