Answer:
A)
0.395 m
B)
2.4 m/s
Explanation:
A)
= mass of the cart = 1.4 kg
= spring constant of the spring = 50 Nm⁻¹
= initial position of spring from equilibrium position = 0.21 m
= initial speed of the cart = 2.0 ms⁻¹
= amplitude of the oscillation = ?
Using conservation of energy
Final spring energy = initial kinetic energy + initial spring energy
B)
= mass of the cart = 1.4 kg
= spring constant of the spring = 50 Nm⁻¹
= amplitude of the oscillation = 0.395 m
= maximum speed at the equilibrium position
Using conservation of energy
Kinetic energy at equilibrium position = maximum spring potential energy at extreme stretch of the spring
KE = 1/2 mv^2 is the relationship betwee mass and kinetic energy
Let say for every 5 s of time interval the speed will remain constant
so it is given as
v(mi/h) 16 21 23 26 33 30 28
now we have to convert the speed into ft/s as it is given that 1 mi/h = 5280/3600 ft/s
so here we will have
v(ft/s) 23.5 30.8 33.73 38.13 48.4 44 41.1
now for each interval of 5 s we will have to find the distance cover for above interval of time
so here it will cover 1298.1 ft distance in 30 s interval of time
It is a comet that was a comet
