a mass of 0.75 kg is attached to a spring and placed on a horizontal surface. the spring has a spring constant of 180 N/m, and t

he spring is compressed 0.3 m past its natural length. if the mass is released from this compressed position, what is the speed of the mass as it passes the natural length of the spring?

Answer:

6.57 m/s

Explanation:

First use Hook's Law to determine the F the compressed spring acts on the mass. Hook's Law F=kx; F=force, k=stiffnes of spring (or spring constant), x=displacement

F=kx; F=180(.3) = 54 N

Next from Newton's second law find the acceleration of the mass.

Newton's .2nd law F=ma; a=F/m ; a=54/.75 = 72m/s²

Now use the kinematic equation for velocity (or speed)

v₂²= v₀² + 2a(x₂-x₀); v₂=final velocity; v₀=initial velocity; a=acceleration; x₂=final displacement; x₀=initial displacment.

v₀=0, since the mass is at rest before we release it

a=72 m/s² (from above)

x₀=0 as the start position already compressed

x₂=0.3m (this puts the spring back to it's natural length)

v₂²= 0 + 2(72)(0.3) = 43.2 m²/s²

v₂=\sqrt{43.2)\\ = 6.57 m/s

Create a ray diagram for eyeglasses that contain a diverging lens. Assume you are looking at a 2 cm tall object that is 4 cm fro
k0ka [10]

The ray diagram for the given object consists of 2 cm height of object, 4 cm object distance and 3 cm focal length.

<h3>Image formed by a diverging lens</h3>

Diverging lens is called a concave lens. The working of the lens is dependent on the refraction of the light rays as they pass through the lens.

Image formed by a diverging lens is always virtual, erect and diminished; smaller than the object and is located on the same side of the lens as the object.

The ray diagram for the given object is presented in the image in the diagram.

  • Object height = 2 cm
  • Focal length = 3 cm
  • Object distance = 4 cm

Does someone know how to do math with that equation
mestny [16]

Answer:

f = 5 cm

Explanation:

using the thin lens equation, given as follows:

\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{d_{o}}+\frac{1}{d_{i}}\\

where,

f = focal length = ?

do = the distance of object from lens = 20 cm

di = the distance of image from lens = 6.6667 cm

Therefore,

\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{20\ cm}+\frac{1}{6.6667\ cm}\\\\\frac{1}{f} =  0.199999\ cm^{-1}\\\\f = \frac{1}{0.199999\ cm^{-1}}\\\\

<u>f = 5 cm</u>
