Why dose the weight of an object change with increasing elevation on earth

1 answer:

6 0

Because the strength of the gravitational forces between two objects
depends on the distance between the objects' centers, and when your
elevation changes, so does the distance between your center and the
center of the Earth.

A frictionless cart of mass M is attached to a spring with spring constant k. When the cart is displaced 6 cm from its rest posi

Marianna [84]

Answer:

Time period of horizontal Oscillation = T = 2 $\pi$ $\sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }$

As you can see, from the equation, Period of oscillation depends upon the mass and the spring constant. Not on the displacement.

Explanation:

Solution:

As we know that:

F = Kx

Here,

K = Spring constant

x = displacement.

First, they are displacing it with 6 cm from its rest position for which Time period of the oscillation is T = 2 seconds.

But next, they want to know the effect on the time period of the oscillation if the displacement x is doubled from 6cm to 12 cm.

First of all, let us see the equation of the time period of the oscillation.

We need to check, if time period does depend on the displacement or not.

As we know,

Time period of horizontal Oscillation = T = 2 $\pi$ $\sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }$

As you can see, from the equation, Period of oscillation depends upon the mass and the spring constant. Not on the displacement.

Since, K is the constant for a particular spring, we need to change the mass of the cart to change the time period.

Hence the Time period will remain same.

Help me find the acceleration

ANEK [815]

a = 3.09 m/s²

<h3>Explanation</h3>

This question doesn't tell anything about how long it took for the car to go through 105 meters. As a result, the timeless suvat equation is likely what you need for this question.

In the timeless suvat equation,

$a = \dfrac{v^2 - u^2}{2\; x}$

where

$a$ is the acceleration of the car;
$v$ is the final velocity of the car;
$u$ is the initial velocity of the car; and
$x$ is the displacement of the car.

Note that v and u are velocities. Make sure that you include their signs in the calculation.

In this question,

$a$ is the unknown;
$v = -10.9 \; \text{m} \cdot \text{s}^{-2}$ ;
$u = -27.7 \; \text{m} \cdot \text{s}^{-2}$ ; and
$x = - 105 \; \text{m}$ .

Apply the timeless suvat equation:

$a = \dfrac{v^{2} - u^{2}}{2\; x}\\\phantom{a} = \dfrac{(-10.9)^{2} - (-27.7)^{2}}{2 \times (-105)}\\\phantom{a} = 3.09 \; \text{m} \cdot \text{s}^{-2}$ .

The value of $a$ is greater than zero, which is reasonable. Velocity of the car is negative, meaning that the car is moving backward. The car now moves to the back at a slower speed. Effectively it accelerates to the front. Its acceleration shall thus be positive.
