Before you even look at the questions, look over the graph, so you know what kind of information is there.
The x-axis is "time". OK. You know that as the graph moves from left to right, it shows what's happening as time goes on.
The y-axis is "speed" of something. OK. When the graph is high, the thing is moving fast. When the graph is low, the thing is moving slow. When the graph slopes up, the thing is gaining speed. When the graph slopes down, the thing is slowing down. When the graph is flat, the speed isn't changing, so the thing is moving at a constant speed.
NOW you can look at the questions.
OMG ! It's only ONE question: What's happening from 'c' to 'd' ? Well I don't know. Perhaps we can figure it out if we LOOK AT THE GRAPH !
-- Between c and d, the graph is flat. The speed is not changing. It's the same speed at d as it was back at c .
What speed is it ?
-- Look back at the y-axis. The speed at the height of c and d is 'zero' .
-- The 2nd and 4th choices are both correct. From c to d, <em>the speed is constant</em>. The constant speed is zero. <em>The car is not moving</em>.
Answer:
The increase in gravitational potential energy is the same in both cases
Explanation:
It is easier to climb a mountain in a zigzag way rather than climbing on a straight line but since the distance is the same ( vertical height ) , mass and gravity is the same. Hence the increase in gravitational potential energy is the same in both cases.
gravitational potential energy = mgh ( same in both cases )
m = mass
g = acceleration due to gravity
h = distance ( vertical height )
Explanation:
(a) Hooke's law:
F = kx
7.50 N = k (0.0300 m)
k = 250 N/m
(b) Angular frequency:
ω = √(k/m)
ω = √((250 N/m) / (0.500 kg))
ω = 22.4 rad/s
Frequency:
f = ω / (2π)
f = 3.56 cycles/s
Period:
T = 1/f
T = 0.281 s
(c) EE = ½ kx²
EE = ½ (250 N/m) (0.0500 m)²
EE = 0.313 J
(d) A = 0.0500 m
(e) vmax = Aω
vmax = (0.0500 m) (22.4 rad/s)
vmax = 1.12 m/s
amax = Aω²
amax = (0.0500 m) (22.4 rad/s)²
amax = 25.0 m/s²
(f) x = A cos(ωt)
x = (0.0500 m) cos(22.4 rad/s × 0.500 s)
x = 0.00919 m
(g) v = dx/dt = -Aω sin(ωt)
v = -(0.0500 m) (22.4 rad/s) sin(22.4 rad/s × 0.500 s)
v = -1.10 m/s
a = dv/dt = -Aω² cos(ωt)
a = -(0.0500 m) (22.4 rad/s)² cos(22.4 rad/s × 0.500 s)
a = -4.59 m/s²
Answer:
A) a = 73.304 rad/s²
B) Δθ = 3665.2 rad
Explanation:
A) From Newton's first equation of motion, we can say that;
a = (ω - ω_o)/t. We are given that the centrifuge spins at a maximum rate of 7000rpm.
Let's convert to rad/s = 7000 × 2π/60 = 733.04 rad/s
Thus change in angular velocity = (ω - ω_o) = 733.04 - 0 = 733.04 rad/s
We are given; t = 10 s
Thus;
a = 733.04/10
a = 73.304 rad/s²
B) From Newton's third equation of motion, we can say that;
ω² = ω_o² + 2aΔθ
Where Δθ is angular displacement
Making Δθ the subject;
Δθ = (ω² - ω_o²)/2a
At this point, ω = 0 rad/s while ω_o = 733.04 rad/s
Thus;
Δθ = (0² - 733.04²)/(2 × 73.304)
Δθ = -537347.6416/146.608
Δθ = - 3665.2 rad
We will take the absolute value.
Thus, Δθ = 3665.2 rad
