On your first trip to Planet X you happen to take along a 290 g mass, a 40-cm-long spring, a meter stick, and a stopwatch. You'r

e curious about the acceleration due to gravity on Planet X, where ordinary tasks seem easier than on earth, but you can't find this information in your Visitor's Guide. One night you suspend the spring from the ceiling in your room and hang the mass from it. You find that the mass stretches the spring by 23.0 cm . You then pull the mass down 11.7 cm and release it. With the stopwatch you find that 9.00 oscillations take 17.7 s.
Can you now satisfy your curiosity?

Answer:

The new value of g = 1.19 m/s^2

Explanation:

Mass  =290 g

Spring size  = 40 cm

The size of spring after streches = 23 cm

Pulling the mass down at  = 11.7 cm

The stopwatch shows the number of oscillations in 17.7 s = 9 osscillations.

The oscillation frequency is independent to g.

So, w = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}} \\T = \frac{17.7}{9} = 1.966 \\W = \frac{2\pi}{T} = 3.197 \\w = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}} \\k = w^{2}m \\k = (3.197)^{2} \times 0.29 = 2.96 N/M \\

The amount of spring stretch due to the hanging mass, x, is dependent on g.

Now, \ mg = kx \\g = \frac{kx}{m} \\g = \frac{2.96 \times 0.117}{0.29} = 1.19 m/s^{2}

Therefore, the new value of g = 1.19 m/s^2

a car with a mass of 2000 kilograms is moving around a circular curve at a uniform velocity of 25 meters per second. The curve h
melisa1 [442]
In the given problem, we say various information's that are going to help us reach the ultimate answer to the question. Let us first write the information's that have been presented in front of us.
Mass of the car = 2000 kg
Velocity of the car = 25 m/s^2
Radius of the circle = 80 m
Now we already know the equation for calculating the centripetal force and that is
Centripetal Force = [mass * (velocity)^2]/Radius
                            = [2000 * (25)^2]/80
                            = (2000 * 625)/80
                            = 1250000/80
                            = 15625
So the centripetal force on the car is 15625 Newtons

A heavy ball with a weight of 150 N is hung from the ceiling of a lecture hall on a 4.1-m-long rope. The ball is pulled to one s
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

The tension in the rope is 262.88 N

Explanation:

Given:

Weight W = 150 N

Length of rope r = 4.1 m

Initial speed of ball v = 5.5 \frac{m}{s}

For finding the tension in the rope,

First find the mass of rod,

mg = 150                          ( g = 9.8 \frac{m}{s^{2} } )

  m = \frac{150}{9.8}

  m = 15.3 kg

Tension in the rope is,

  T = mg + \frac{mv^{2} }{r}

  T = 150 + \frac{15.3 \times (5.5)^{2} }{4.1}

  T = 262.88 N

Therefore, the tension in the rope is 262.88 N
