Q 10.17: Which of the following statements concerning simple harmonic motion is false? A : A restoring force acts on an object i

n simple harmonic motion that is directed in the same direction as the object's displacement. B : A restoring force acts on the object that is proportional to the object's displacement from its equilibrium position. C : During simple harmonic motion, the net force on the object is zero when it is at its equilibrium position. D : The displacement versus time graph for an object in simple harmonic motion resembles the sine or cosine function. E : The amplitude of the motion of an object in simple harmonic motion is the maximum distance the object moves from its equilibrium position.

Answer:

A : A restoring force acts on an object in simple harmonic motion that is directed in the same direction as the object's displacement.

Explanation:

Statement A is the false one:

A : A restoring force acts on an object in simple harmonic motion that is directed in the same direction as the object's displacement. --> FALSE. The restoring force in the simple harmonic motion is given by

F=-kx

where

k is the spring constant

x is the displacement of the system, measured with respect to the equilibrium position

As we can notice from the equation, there is a negative sign in front of (kx): this means that the force, F, and the displacement, x, have opposite directions. In fact, the restoring force of a simple harmonic oscillator always acts to restore the equilibrium position, therefore it acts in the opposite direction as that of the displacement.

An athlete at high performance inhales 4.0L of air at 1 atm and 298 K. The inhaled and exhaled air contain 0.5% and 6.2% by volu
LenaWriter [7]

To solve this problem we will calculate the total volume of inhaled and exhaled water. From the ideal gas equation we will find the total number of moles of water.

An athlete at high performance inhales 4.0L of air at 1atm and 298K.

The inhaled and exhaled air contain 0.5% and 6.2% by volume of water, respectively.

During inhalation, volume of water taken is

V_i = (4L)(0.5\%)

V_i = 0.02L

During exhalation, volume of water expelled is

V_e = (4L)(6.2\%)

V_e = 0.248L

During 40 breathes, total volume of water taken is

V_{it} = (40L)(0.02L) = 0.8L

During 40 breathes, total volume of water expelled out is

V_{et} = (40L)(0.248L) = 9.92L

Therefore resultant volume of water expelled out from the lung is

\Delta V = 9.92L-0.8L = 9.12

From the body through the lung we have that

n = \frac{PV}{RT}

Here,

P = Pressure

R= Gas ideal constant

T= Temperature

V = Volume

Replacing,

n = \frac{(1atm)(9.12L)}{(8.314J/mol \cdot K)(298K)}

n = 0.373mol/min

Therefore the moles of water per minute are expelled from the body through the lungs is 0.373mol/min

At time t=0 a grinding wheel has an angular velocity of 26.0 rad/s. It has a constant angular acceleration of 25.0 rad/s^2 until
Zolol [24]

Angle turned by the wheel is given by the kinematics as

\theta = \omega t + \frac{1}{2}\alpha t^2

now here we know that

\omega = 26 rad/s

\alpha = 25 rad/s^2

t = 2.50 seconds

\theta = 26(2.50) + \frac{1}{2}(25)(2.50)^2

\theta = 143.1 rad

So here total angle that the wheel turn is given as

\theta = 143.1 + 440 = 583.1 rad

Speed of the wheel after 2.5 s

\omega = \omega_0 + \alpha t

\omega = 26 + (25)(2.5)

\omega = 88.5 rad/s

now angular deceleration is given as

\alpha_1 = \frac{\omega^2 - \omega_0^2}{2\theta}

\alpha_1 = \frac{0 - 88.5^2}{2(440)}

\alpha_1 = -8.9 rad/s^2

time taken to stop

t = \frac{\omega - \omega_0}{\alpha}

t = \frac{0 - 88.5}{-8.9} = 9.94 s

now total time is given as

T = 2.50 + 9.94 = 12.44 s

You throw a ball straight up from the edge of a cliff. It leaves your hand moving at 12.0 m/s. Air resistance can be neglected.
Levart [38]

Answer:

y = 3.159 m

Explanation:

Using the second equation of motion.

s = ut + 0.5at^2 .......1

Since the ball is thrown upward the acceleration due to gravity act against it.

Given:

distance s = y

Initial speed u = 12.0 m/s

Time t = 0.30 s

Acceleration a = -g = -9.8m/s^2

Equation 1 becomes;

y = ut - 0.5at^2

Substituting the given values. We have;

y = 12.0(0.30) - 0.5(9.8 × 0.3^2)

y = 3.6 - 0.441

y = 3.159 m
