An oscillator consists of a block attached to a spring (k = 427 N/m). At some time t, the position (measured from the system's e

quilibrium location), velocity, and acceleration of the block are x = 0.134 m, v = -12.1 m/s, and a = -107 m/s2. Calculate (a) the frequency of oscillation, (b) the mass of the block, and (c) the amplitude of the motion.

Answer:

a) 4.49Hz

b) 0.536kg

c) 2.57s

Explanation:

This problem can be solved by using the equation for he position and velocity of an object in a mass-string system:

x=Acos(\omega t)\\\\v=-\omega Asin(\omega t)\\\\a=-\omega^2Acos(\omega t)

for some time t you have:

x=0.134m

v=-12.1m/s

a=-107m/s^2

If you divide the first equation and the third equation, you can calculate w:

\frac{x}{a}=\frac{Acos(\omega t)}{-\omega^2 Acos(\omega t)}\\\\\omega=\sqrt{-\frac{a}{x}}=\sqrt{-\frac{-107m/s^2}{0.134m}}=28.25\frac{rad}{s}

with this value you can compute the frequency:

a)

f=\frac{\omega}{2\pi}=\frac{28.25rad/s}{2\pi}=4.49Hz

b)

the mass of the block is given by the formula:

f=\frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}\\\\m=\frac{k}{4\pi^2f^2}=\frac{427N/m}{(4\pi^2)(4.49Hz)^2}=0.536kg

c) to find the amplitude of the motion you need to know the time t. This can computed by dividing the equation for v with the equation for x and taking the arctan:

\frac{v}{x}=-\omega tan(\omega t)\\\\t=\frac{1}{\omega}arctan(-\frac{v}{x\omega })=\frac{1}{28.25rad/s}arctan(-\frac{-12.1m/s}{(0.134m)(28.25rad/s)})=2.57s

Finally, the amplitude is:

x=Acos(\omega t)\\\\A=\frac{0.134m}{cos(28.25rad/s*2.57s )}=0.45m

In a candy factory, the nutty chocolate bars contain 20.0 % pecans by mass. If 4.0 kg of pecans were used for candy last Tuesday
ladessa [460]

Answer:

44.09 pounds

Explanation:

We got that 20 % of the mass of a nutty chocolate bar its pecans, if 4.0 kg of pecans were used, we need to find the X in the equation

0.2 * X = 4.0 \ kg

where X its the total mass of nutty chocolate bars produced. So, we can just divide by 0.2 on both sides, and we find:

X = 4.0 kg / 0.2

X = 20.0 \ kg

Of course, we need the total mass produced in pounds, and not in kilograms.  Looking at an conversion table, we can find that 1 kg its 2.20462 pounds, multiplying the value for total mass produced by the conversion factor we get:

X = 20.0 \ kg * 2.20462 \ \frac{pounds}{kg}

X = 44.0924 \ pounds

Now, we just need to round off to two significant figures. This is:

X = 44.09 \ pounds,

the total mass of nutty chocolate bars  made last Tuesday to two significant figures.

a cylinder has a radius of 2.1cm and a length of 8.8cm .total charge 6.1 x 10^-7C is distributed uniformly throughout. the volum
7nadin3 [17]

The answer for the following problem is explained below.

Therefore the volume charge density of a substance (ρ) is 0.04 × 10^{-1} C.

Explanation:

Given:

radius (r) =2.1 cm = 2.1 ×10^{-2} m

height (h) =8.8 cm = 8.8 ×10^{-2} m

total charge (q) =6.1×10^{-7} C

To solve:

volume charge density (ρ)

We know;

<u> ρ =q ÷ v</u>

volume of cylinder = π ×r  × r × h

volume of cylinder =3.14 × 2.1 × 2.1 ×10^{-4} × 8.8 ×10^{-2}

volume of cylinder (v) = 122.23 ×10^{-6}

<u> ρ =q ÷ v</u>

ρ = 6.1×10^{-7} ÷   122.23 ×10^{-6}

<u>ρ = 0.04 × </u>10^{-1}<u> C</u>

Therefore the volume charge density of a substance (ρ) is 0.04 × 10^{-1} C.

A speeding Thunderbird left skid marks on the road that were 76.7 m long when it came to a stop. If the acceleration of the car
FrozenT [24]

Answer: 39.2 m/s

Explanation:

You can use the kinematic equation:

v_f^2=v_i^2+2a*d

We know the final velocity because it says it came to a stop. So now all we gotta do is plug in.

0^2=v_i^2+2(-10)(76.7)\\v_i^2=1,534\\v_i=\sqrt{1534} \\=39.166 m/s
