Answer:
Mass = 18.0 kg
Explanation:
From Hooke's law,
F = ke
where: F is the force, k is the spring constant and e is the extension.
But, F = mg
So that,
mg = ke
On the Earth, let the gravitational force be 10 m/.
3.0 x 10 = k x 5.0
30 = 5k
⇒ k = ................ 1
On the Moon, the gravitational force is of that on the Earth.
m x = k x 5.0
= 5k
⇒ k = ............. 2
Equating 1 and 2, we have;
=
m =
= 18.0
m = 18.0 kg
The mass required to produce the same extension on the Moon is 18 kg.
Answer:
a The kinetic energy is
b The height of the center of mass above that position is
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The length of the rod is
The mass of the rod
The angular speed at the lowest point is
Generally moment of inertia of the rod about an axis that passes through its one end is
Substituting values
Generally the kinetic energy rod is mathematically represented as
From the law of conservation of energy
The kinetic energy of the rod during motion = The potential energy of the rod at the highest point
Therefore
