Answer:

A: The frequency of the vibration is 1.3329 Hz

B: The total energy of the vibration is  18.39375 J

Explanation:

The force of the man his weight causes the raft to sink, and that causes the water to put a larger upward force on the raft.  This extra force is a restoring force, because it is in the opposite direction of the force put on the raft by the man.  Then when the man steps off, the restoring force pushes upward on the raft, and thus the raft – water system acts like a spring, with a spring constant found as follows:

k= F/x = ((75 kg) * (9.81 m/s²))/(5*10^-2 m) = 14715 N/m

The frequency of the vibration is determined by the spring constant (k) and the mass of the raft (210kg).

fn = 1/2π * √(k/m)  = 1/2π * √(14715 / 210) = <u>1.3329 Hz</u>

<u>The frequency of the vibration is 1.3329 Hz</u>

<u />

<u>b) </u>

Since the gravitational potential energy can be ignored, the total energy will be :

Etot = 1/2 k* A² = 1/2 * (14715 )*(0.05)² = 18.39375 J

<u>The total energy of the vibration is  18.39375 J</u>

A car covers 120 km in 3 hours calculate its speed in m/s​
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

11.1 m/s

Explanation:

120 km = 120 x 1,000 = 120,000 m

3 hours = 3 x 60 x 60 = 3600 x 3 = 10,800 s

speed = 120,000 / 10,800

= 1200/108

= 11.1 m/s

An elevator is moving is an upwards
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

The elevator's free-body diagram has three forces, the force of gravity, a downward normal force from you, and an upward force from the tension in the cable holding the elevator. The combined system of you + elevator has two forces, a combined force of gravity and the tension in the cable.

A boy throws a stone straight upward with an initial
Dominik [7]

Answer:

14.8m

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial speed  = 17m/s

Unknown:

Maximum height  = ?

Solution:

At the maximum height, the final speed will be 0m/s;

 We use of the kinematics equation to solve this problem.

     V²   = U²   - 2gH

V is the final velocity

U is the initial velocity

g is the acceleration due to gravity

H is the height

         0²   = 17²  -  (2  x 9.8 x h )

          0 = 289  - (9.6h)

         -289  = -19.6h

            h  = 14.8m
