Answer:

The kinetic energy at a displacement of half the amplitude is 37.5 J

Explanation:

Given;

total energy on the spring, E = 50 J

When the displacement is half the amplitude, the total energy in the spring is sum of the kinetic energy and elastic potential energy.

E = K + U

Where;

K is the kinetic energy

U is the elastic potential energy

K = E - U

K = E - ¹/₂KA²

When the displacement is half = ¹/₂(A) = A/₂

K = E - ¹/₂K(A/₂)²

K = E - ¹/₂K(A²/₄)

K = E - ¹₄(¹/₂KA²)

Recall, E = ¹/₂KA²

K = ¹/₂KA² - ¹₄(¹/₂KA²)     (recall from simple arithmetic, 1 - ¹/₄ = ³/₄)

K = 1(¹/₂KA²) - ¹₄(¹/₂KA²)  = ³/₄(¹/₂KA²)

K = ³/₄(¹/₂KA²)

But E = ¹/₂KA² = 50J

K = ³/₄ (50J)

K = 37.5 J

Therefore, the kinetic energy at a displacement of half the amplitude is 37.5 J

An object of mass m is hung from a spring and set into oscillation. The period of the oscillation is measured and recorded as T.
sergejj [24]

Answer:\sqrt{2}T

Explanation:

Given

object of mass m is suspended from spring and set in oscillation with time Period T

We know Time period of a mass in oscillation is given by

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}

where k=spring constant

When mass m is replaced by a mass of 2 m time period is given by

T'=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{2m}{k}}

T'=\sqrt{2}\times 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}

T'=\sqrt{2}T

i.e. New time period becomes \sqrt{2} times of previous one

2. It is now 10:29 a.m., but when the bell rings at 10:30 a.m. Suzette will be late for French class for the third time this wee
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

  • 62 seconds
  • no

Explanation:

The total travel time Suzette experiences is the sum of the times in each hallway. Using

  time = distance/speed

we can add the times.

  (35.0 m)/(3.50 m/s) +(48.0 m)/(1.20 m/s) +(60 m)/(5.0 m/s)

  = 10 s + 40 s + 12 s

  = 62 s

It takes Suzette 62 seconds to get to class. She does not beat the bell.
