60.9 - 4.9= 56
56 is the net force
using the formula F = ma
56= 8a
a = 7
acceleration is 7ms^-2

A 1 kg mass is attached to a spring with spring constant 7 Nt/m. What is the frequency of the simple harmonic motion? What is th

Scorpion4ik [409]

1. 0.42 Hz

The frequency of a simple harmonic motion for a spring is given by:

$f=\frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$

where

k = 7 N/m is the spring constant

m = 1 kg is the mass attached to the spring

Substituting these numbers into the formula, we find

$f=\frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{7 N/m}{1 kg}}=0.42 Hz$

2. 2.38 s

The period of the harmonic motion is equal to the reciprocal of the frequency:

$T=\frac{1}{f}$

where f = 0.42 Hz is the frequency. Substituting into the formula, we find

$T=\frac{1}{0.42 Hz}=2.38 s$

3. 0.4 m

The amplitude in a simple harmonic motion corresponds to the maximum displacement of the mass-spring system. In this case, the mass is initially displaced by 0.4 m: this means that during its oscillation later, the displacement cannot be larger than this value (otherwise energy conservation would be violated). Therefore, this represents the maximum displacement of the mass-spring system, so it corresponds to the amplitude.

4. 0.19 m

We can solve this part of the problem by using the law of conservation of energy. In fact:

- When the mass is released from equilibrium position, the compression/stretching of the spring is zero: $x=0$ , so the elastic potential energy is zero, and all the mechanical energy of the system is just equal to the kinetic energy of the mass:

$E=K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where m = 1 kg and v = 0.5 m/s is the initial velocity of the mass

- When the spring reaches the maximum compression/stretching (x=A=amplitude), the velocity of the system is zero, so the kinetic energy is zero, and all the mechanical energy is just elastic potential energy:

$E=U=\frac{1}{2}kA^2$

Since the total energy must be conserved, we have:

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = \frac{1}{2}kA^2\\A=\sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}v=\sqrt{\frac{1 kg}{7 N/m}}(0.5 m/s)=0.19 m$

5. Amplitude of the motion: 0.44 m

We can use again the law of conservation of energy.

- $E_i = \frac{1}{2}kx_0^2 + \frac{1}{2}mv_0^2$ is the initial mechanical energy of the system, with $x_0=0.4 m$ being the initial displacement of the mass and $v_0=0.5 m/s$ being the initial velocity

$- E_f = \frac{1}{2}kA^2$ is the mechanical energy of the system when x=A (maximum displacement)

Equalizing the two expressions, we can solve to find A, the amplitude:

$\frac{1}{2}kx_0^2 + \frac{1}{2}mv_0^2=\frac{1}{2}kA^2\\A=\sqrt{x_0^2+\frac{m}{k}v_0^2}=\sqrt{(0.4 m)^2+\frac{1 kg}{7 N/m}(0.5 m/s)^2}=0.44 m$

6. Maximum velocity: 1.17 m/s

We can use again the law of conservation of energy.

- $E_i = \frac{1}{2}kx_0^2 + \frac{1}{2}mv_0^2$ is the initial mechanical energy of the system, with $x_0=0.4 m$ being the initial displacement of the mass and $v_0=0.5 m/s$ being the initial velocity

$- E_f = \frac{1}{2}mv_{max}^2$ is the mechanical energy of the system when x=0, which is when the system has maximum velocity, $v_{max}$

Equalizing the two expressions, we can solve to find $v_{max}$ , the maximum velocity:

$\frac{1}{2}kx_0^2 + \frac{1}{2}mv_0^2=\frac{1}{2}mv_{max}^2\\v_{max}=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}x_0^2+v_0^2}=\sqrt{\frac{7 N/m}{1 kg}(0.4 m)^2+(0.5 m/s)^2}=1.17 m/s m$

Statement I: At the same temperature lighter gas molecules have a higher average velocity than heavier gas molecules.

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

Statement 1 and statement 2 are correct and statement 2 is the correct explanation of statement 1

Explanation:

Both the velocity and kinetic energy of a gas molecule depends on its relative molecular mass according to Graham's law of diffusion in gases. Hence, the greater the relative molecular mass of the gas, the lesser its average velocity and kinetic energy.

Hence we can see that statement 2 vividly explains the postulation of statement 1 and makes the points more easily comprehensible.

What are the dimensions of a frequency in physics

Burka [1]

Answer:

This is the information I can provide. I hope it helps

Explanation:

Frequency is measured in units of hertz (Hz) which is equal to one occurrence of a repeating event per second. The period is the duration of time of one cycle in a repeating event, so the period is the reciprocal of the frequency.

What is the percent increase in the vapor pressure of water when the temperature increases by 1 °c from 14°c to 15°c.

Artemon [7]

The Vapor Pressure of water increases by 5.1%. when the temperature increases by 1 °c from 14°c to 15°c.

The vapor pressure of a liquid, sometimes referred to as the equilibrium pressure of a vapor above its liquid, is the pressure of the vapor produced by the evaporation of a fluid (or solid) over a sample of the liquid (or solid) in such a closed container (or solid).

Vapor pressure is the term for the force that is produced as liquids evaporate. Three factors commonly have an effect on a vapor press: surface area, intermolecular forces, and temperature. The vapor pressures of molecules change with temperature.
