Answer:

400 J

Explanation:

The efficiency of a machine is defined as

$\eta = \frac{W_{out}}{W_{in}}$

where

$W_{out}$ is the work output

$W_{in}$ is the work input

For this machine, we know the following

$W_{in} = 1000 J$ is the work in input

$\eta = 40\% = 0.40$ is the efficiency

Solving for the work output, we find

$W_{out} = \eta W_{in} = (0.40)(1000)=400 J$

Which one of the following scenarios accurately describes a condition in which resonance can occur? A. A column of air has a hei

Butoxors [25]

The correct option is B.
Resonance is said to occur when one object which is vibrating at the same natural frequency of a second object forces the second object into vibrational motion. When resonance is achieved a big loud voice is usually heard. Resonance generally requires three conditions to occur:
1. An object that has a natural frequency.
2. A force that is functioning at the same frequency as the natural frequency.
3. Prevention of energy loss.

A vertical spring (spring constant =160 N/m) is mounted on the floor. A 0.340-kg block is placed on top of the spring and pushed

AleksandrR [38]

(a) 3.5 Hz

The angular frequency in a spring-mass system is given by

$\omega=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$

where

k is the spring constant

m is the mass

Here in this problem we have

k = 160 N/m

m = 0.340 kg

So the angular frequency is

$\omega=\sqrt{\frac{160 N/m}{0.340 kg}}=21.7 rad/s$

And the frequency of the motion instead is given by:

$f=\frac{\omega}{2\pi}=\frac{21.7 rad/s}{2\pi}=3.5 Hz$

(b) 0.021 m

The block is oscillating up and down together with the upper end of the spring. The block will lose contact with the spring when the direction of motion of the spring changes: this occurs when the spring is at maximum displacement, so at

x = A

where A is the amplitude of the motion.

The maximum displacement is given by Hook's law:

$F=kA$

where

F is the force applied initially to the spring, so it is equal to the weight of the block:

$F=mg=(0.340 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=3.34 N$

k = 160 N/m is the spring constant

Solving for A, we find

$A=\frac{F}{k}=\frac{3.34 N}{160 N/m}=0.021 m$
