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

A can of sardines is made to move along an x axis from x = 0.47 m to x = 1.20 m by a force with a magnitude given by F = exp(–8x
sattari [20]
If the force were constant or increasing, we could guess that the speed of the sardines is increasing. Since the force is decreasing but staying in contact with the can, we know that the can is slowing down, so there must be friction involved.
Work is the integral of (force x distance) over the distance, which is just the area under the distance/force graph.
The integral of exp(-8x) dx that we need is (-1/8)exp(-8x) evaluated from 0.47 to 1.20 .

I get 0.00291 of a Joule ... seems like a very suspicious solution, but for an exponential integral at a cost of 5 measly points, what can you expect. On the other hand, it's not really too unreasonable. The force is only 0.023 Newton at the beginning, and 0.000067 newton at the end, and the distance is only about 0.7 meter, so there certainly isn't a lot of work going on. The main question we're left with after all of this is: Why sardines ? ?

A stone is thrown horizontally with an initial speed of 10 m/s from the edge of a cliff. A stopwatch measures the stone's trajec
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

The height of the cliff is 90.60 meters.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Initial horizontal speed of the stone, u = 10 m/s

Initial vertical speed of the stone, u' = 0 (as there is no motion in vertical direction)

The time taken by the stone from the top of the cliff to the bottom to be 4.3 s, t = 4.3 s

Let h is the height of the cliff. Using the second equation of motion in vertical direction to find it. It is given by :

h=u't+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

h=\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

h=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times (4.3)^2

h = 90.60 meters

So, the height of the cliff is 90.60 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.

A skateboarder with a mass of 60 kg moves with a force of 20 N. What is her acceleration?
Zanzabum

Explanation:

Solution,

  • Mass(m)= 60 kg
  • Force (F)= 20 N
  • Acceleration (a)= ?

We know that,

  • F=ma
  • a=F/m
  • a=20/60
  • a=0.333 m/s²

So, her acceleration is 0.333 m/s².
