An ideal spring is hung vertically from the ceiling. The spring constant is k = 125 N/m. A block of mass m = 650 g (1000 g = 1 k

g) is then attached to the free end and block extends the spring under its weight until it stops moving. Calculate the maximum extension of the spring due to the block. (Hint: when the system comes to equilibrium, the net force on the block must be zer0.)

Answer:

0.102 m

Explanation:

k = spring constant of the spring = 125 N/m

m = mass of the block attached to the spring = 650 g = 0.650 kg

x = maximum extension of the spring

h = height dropped by the block = x

Using conservation of energy

Spring potential energy gained = Gravitational potential energy lost

(0.5) k x² = mgh

(0.5) k x² = mgx

(0.5) (125) x = (0.650) (9.8)

x = 0.102 m

Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

a)  600 meters

b) between 0 and 10 seconds, and between 30 and 40 seconds.

c) the average of the magnitude of the velocity function is 15 m/s

Explanation:

a) In order to find the magnitude of the car's displacement in 40 seconds,we need to find the area under the curve (integral of the depicted velocity function) between 0 and 40 seconds. Since the area is that of a trapezoid, we can calculate it directly from geometry:

Area \,\,Trapezoid=(\left[B+b]\,(H/2)\\displacement= \left[(40-0)+(30-10)\right] \,(20/2)=600\,\,m

b) The car is accelerating when the velocity is changing, so we see that the velocity is changing (increasing) between 0 and 10 seconds, and we also see the velocity decreasing between 30 and 40 seconds.

Notice that between 10 and 30 seconds the velocity is constant (doesn't change)  of magnitude 20 m/s, so in this section of the trip there is NO acceleration.

c) To calculate the average of a function that is changing over time, we do it through calculus, using the formula for average of a function:

Average\,of\,f(x)=\frac{1}{b-a} \int\limits^b_a {f(x)} \, dx

Notice that the limits of integration for our case are 0 and 40 seconds, and that we have already calculated the area under the velocity function (the integral) in step a), so the average velocity becomes:

Avearage=\frac{600\,\,m}{40\,\,s}= 15\,\,\frac{m}s}

The two blocks in oscillate on a frictionless surface with a period of 1.5 s. The upper block just begins to slip when the ampli
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

0.72

Explanation:

T = Time period of oscillation = 1.5 s

Angular frequency is given as

w = \frac{2\pi }{T}\\w = \frac{2(3.14) }{1.5}\\w = 4.2 rad/s

A = Amplitude of oscillation = 40 cm = 0.40 m

\mu = Coefficient of static friction = ?

a = acceleration of the block

m = mass of the block

Maximum acceleration of the block is given as

a = Aw^{2}

frictional force is given as

f = \mu mg

As per newton's second law

f = ma \\\\\mu mg = ma \\\mu g = a\\\mu g = Aw^{2}\\\mu (9.8) = (0.40)(4.2)^{2}\\\mu = 0.72

As players speed up, their kinetic energy will?

A 900 kg car speeds up from 30 M/S to 80 m/s how much momentum did the car gain?​
AlexFokin [52]

The change in momentum of the car is 45,000 kg m/s

Explanation:

The change in momentum of an object is given by:

\Delta p = m(v-u)

where

m is the mass of the object

u is its initial velocity

v is its final velocity

For the car in this problem, we have

m = 900 kg

u = 30 m/s

v = 80 m/s

Therefore, the change in momentum is:

\Delta p = (900)(80-30)=45,000 kg m/s
