A mass of 1000 kg drops from a height of 10 m on a platform of negligible mass. It is desired to design a spring and dashpot on

which to mount the platform so that the platform will settle to a new equilibrium position 0.2 m below its original position as quickly as possible after the impact without overshooting. Find the spring constant k and the damping constant b of the dashpot. Be sure to examine your proposed solution x(f) to make sure that it satisfies the correct initial conditions and docs not overshoot. Find, to two significant figures, the time required for the platform to settle within 1 mm of its final position.

Answer:

k = 5\times 10^{4}\ N/m

b = 0.707\times 10^{3}

t = 7.1\times 10^{- 5}\ s

Solution:

As per the question:

Mass of the block, m = 1000 kg

Height, h = 10 m

Equilibrium position, x = 0.2 m

Now,

The velocity when the mass falls from a height of 10 m is given by the third eqn of motion:

v^{2} = u^{2} + 2gh

where

u = initial velocity = 0

g = 10m/s^{2}

Thus

v = \sqrt{2\times 10\times 10} = 10\sqrt{2}\ m/s

Force on the mass is given by:

F = mg = 1000\times 10 = 10000 N = 10\ kN

Also, we know that the spring force is given by:

F = - kx

Thus

k = \frac{F}{x} = \frac{10000}{0.2} = 5\times 10^{4}\ N/m

Now, to find the damping constant b, we know that:

F = - bv

b = \frac{F}{v} = \frac{10000}{10\sqrt{2}} = 0.707\times 10^{3}

Now,

Time required for the platform to get settled to 1 mm or 0.001 m is given by:

t = \frac{0.001}{v} = \frac{0.001}{10\sqrt{2}} = 7.1\times 10^{- 5}\ s

A mine elevator is supported by a single steel cable 0.0125 m in diameter. The total mass of the elevator cage and occupants is
Sonja [21]

Answer:

0.8895m

Explanation:

Cable diameter = 0.0125m

Mass of elevator = 6450kg

Young Modulus(E) = 2.11*10¹¹N/m

∇l (change in length) =

L = 362m

A = Πr², but r = d / 2 = 0.0125 / 2 = 0.00625m

A = 3.142 * (0.00625)² = 1.227*10^-4m²

Young Modulus (E) = Tensile stress / Tensile strain

E = (F / A) / ∇l / L

F = mg = 6450 * 9.8 = 63210N

2.11*10¹¹ = (63210 / 1.22*10^-4) / (∇l / 362)

2.11*10¹¹ = 5.18*10⁸ / (∇l / 362)

2.11*10¹¹ = (5.18*10⁸ * 362) / ∇l

2.11*10¹¹ = 1.875*10¹¹ / ∇l

∇l = 1.875*10¹¹ / 2.11*10¹¹

∇l = 0.8895m

The change in length is 0.8895m

In a uranium fission reaction, uranium splits into two smaller atoms and energy. Where did the energy come from?
postnew [5]

Answer: C. Some of uranium's mass is converted into energy, so the smaller atoms have less mass.

Explanation:

From Einstein's mass-energy relation:

E = mc²

Mass and energy are equivalent. Mass can be converted into energy and energy into mass.

When Uranium atoms under go nuclear fission, smaller atoms are formed and huge amount of energy is released. This energy comes from the mass difference of the uranium nuclei and new nuclei formed. This mass converted into energy according to Einstein's equation.

A stuntman of mass 48 kg is to be launched horizontally out of a spring-
Damm [24]

The velocity of the stuntman, once he has left the cannon is 5 m/s.

The right option is O A. 5 m/s

The Kinetic energy of the stuntman is equal to the elastic potential energy of the spring.

<h3 /><h3>Velocity: </h3>

This is the ratio of displacement to time. The S.I unit of Velocity is m/s.  The velocity of the stuntman can be calculated using the formula below.

⇒ Formula:

  • mv²/2 = ke²/2
  • mv² = ke².................. Equation 1

⇒ Where:

  • m = mass of the stuntman
  • v = velocity of the stuntman
  • k = force constant of the spring
  • e = compression of the spring

⇒ Make v the subject of the equation

  • v = √(ke²/m)................. Equation 2

From the question,

⇒ Given:

  • m = 48 kg
  • k = 75 N/m
  • e = 4 m

⇒ Substitute these values into equation 2

  • v = √[(75×4²)/48]
  • v = √25
  • v = 5 m/s.

Hence, The velocity of the stuntman, once he has left the cannon is 5 m/s.

The right option is O A. 5 m/s

A free positive charge released in an electric field will:
choli [55]

Answer:

accelerate in the direction in which the electric field is pointing.

Explanation:

The positive charge feels a force in the same direction as the electric field

F=Eq  

F and E are vectors, q is a scalar

(if it were a negative charge the force would be in the opposite direction)

that force will produce an acceleration in the same direction, that acceleration will cause the particle to move in the same direction, ie the direction of the electric field.
