A coin mass 0.005 kg is dropped from a height of 3 m. How much mechanical energy does it have right before it hits the ground ?

1 answer:

6 0

Mechanical energy equals the sum of potential and kinetic energy. During the process, all PE converts into KE, assuming air resistance is neglected. So, the mechanical energy does not change and is equal to the initial potential energy.
ME
=mgh
=0.005 x 9.81 x 3
=0.147J

Answer:

$\frac{d^2x}{dt^2}+\frac{\beta}{m}\frac{dx}{dt}+\frac{k}{m}x=0$

Explanation:

let $m$ be the mass attached, let $k$ be the spring constant and let $\beta$ be the positive damping constant.

-By Newton's second law:

$m\frac{d^2x}{dt^2}=-kx-\beta \frac{dx}{dt}$

where $x(t)$ is the displacement from equilibrium position. The equation can be transformed into:

$\frac{d^2x}{dt^2}+\frac{\beta}{m}\frac{dx}{dt}+\frac{k}{m}x=0$ shich is the equation of motion.

Which pair of equations can describe the path of a particle moving with an acceleration that is perpendicular to the velocity of

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

The question clearly describes the circular motion.

The circular motion equation is

$a_{radial} = \frac{v^2}{r}$

The path of the particle is circular.

Explanation:

In circular motion, the radial acceleration is always towards the center and constant in magnitude. Furthermore, the velocity of the circular motion is always tangential to the circle, that is it is always perpendicular to the radius, hence the acceleration.
