A 2.00-kg, frictionless block is attached to an ideal spring with force constant 300 N/m. At t = 0 the spring is neither stretch

ed nor compressed and the block is moving in the negative direction at 12.0 m/s. Find (a) the amplitude and (b) the phase angle. (c) Write an equation for the position as a function of time.

Answer:

a) A = 0.98 m

b) Ф = 90°

c) x = -0.98sin(12.25t)

Explanation:

We know the value of the spring constant which is 300 N/m, the innitial apmplitude, that we will call it xo is 0, at t = 0, and the speed is 12 m/s

The expression for the amplitude under these conditions is:

A = √xo² + vx²/w² (1)

To calculate the angular speed w, we use the following expression:

w = √k/m  (2)

Calculating w:

w = √300/2 = 12.25 rad/s

Now, we replace this value into equation 1, along with the other known values and solve for A:

A = √0 + (12)²/(12.25)²

A = 0.98 m

b) In this part, is actually easy, the displacement of x in function of the time is given by:

x = A cos(wt - Ф) (4)

But at t = 0 we have then:

x = xo = A cosФ (5)

Solving for the angle Ф we have:

xo/A = cosФ

Ф = arccos(x0/A)  (6)

Replacing the data in (6):

Ф = arccos(0/0.98)

Ф = 90°

c) Equation (4) is the expression for the simple harmonic motion

x = A cos(wt - Ф)

And if we replace here the value of w and the previous angle, we can write an equation for x in function of t:

x = 0.98 cos (12.25t - 90)

x = 0.98 cos(12.25t - 90)

And we have an trigonometric expression for cos that is:

cos(α - π/2) = -sinα

in this case, α will be the value of w = 12.25 rad/s. and 90° is the same as rewritting as π/2, therefore:

cos(α - π/2) = cos(12.25t - 90)

x = -0.98sin(12.25t)

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

(D) a brief early period of hyper rapid expansion of space-time.

Explanation:

Cosmic inflation is a theory which states that in an interval of 10⁻³⁶ seconds to around 10⁻³³ seconds after the big bang there was a massive expansion.

According to the big bang theory the universe came to be from a singularity i.e., a point of infinite gravitational field. The universe is expanding this means that according to the conservation of energy the universe was expanding from the beginning.

Newton's second law problem. The spring constant can be determined from the balance of forces in equilibrium. Suppose the spring
mario62 [17]

Answer:

K =6.697 Kg/s²

Explanation:

Given:

delta m =41 g = 0.041 kg

delta x = 6cm = 0.06m

g = 9.8 m/s²

according to the given formula

K = delta m g /delta x

K = (0.041 kg × 9.8 m/s²) / 0.06m

K =6.697 Kg/s²

a force 2.4E2 N exists between a positive charge of 8E-5 C and a positive charge of 3E-5 C. What distance separates the charges?
Verdich [7]

The distance between the two charges is 0.3 m

Explanation:

The electrostatic force between two charged objects is given by Coulomb's law:

F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}

where:

k=8.99\cdot 10^9 Nm^{-2}C^{-2} is the Coulomb's constant

q_1, q_2 are the charges of the two objects

r is the separation between the two charges

In this problem, we are given the following:

q_1 = 8\cdot 10^{-5} C

q_2 = 3\cdot 10^{-5} C

F=2.4\cdot 10^2 N

Therefore, we can rearrange the equation to solve for r, the distance between the two charges:

r=\sqrt{\frac{kq_1 q_2}{F}}=\sqrt{\frac{(8.99\cdot 10^9)(8\cdot 10^{-5})(3\cdot 10^{-5})}{2.4\cdot 10^2}}=0.3 m
