Near the top of the Citigroup Center building in New York City, there is an object with mass of 4.8 x 105 kg on springs that hav

e adjustable force constants. Its function is to dampen wind-driven oscillations of the building by oscillating at the same frequency as the building is being driven-the driving force is transferred to the object, which oscillates instead of the entire building X 50%
Part (a) What effective force constant, in N/m, should the springs have to make them oscillate with a period of 1.2 s? k = 9.5 * 106 9500000 X Attempts Remain 50%
Part (b) What energy, in joules, is stored in the springs for a 1.6 m displacement from equilibrium?

Answer:

The force constant is  k =1.316 *10^{7} \  N/m

The energy stored in the spring is  E =  1.68 *10^{7} \ J

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The mass of the object is  M  = 4.8*10^{5} \ kg

    The period is T  = 1.2 \ s

The period of the spring oscillation is  mathematically represented as

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

where  k is the force constant

   So making k the subject

       k = \frac{4 \pi ^2 M }{T^2}

substituting values

       k = \frac{4 (3.142) ^2 (4.8 *10^{5}) }{(1.2)^2}

      k =1.316 *10^{7} \  N/m

The energy stored in the spring is mathematically represented  as

       E =  \frac{1}{2} k x^2

Where x is the spring displacement which is given as

        x =  1.6 \ m

substituting values

      E =  \frac{1}{2} (1.316 *10^{7}) (1.6)^2

       E =  1.68 *10^{7} \ J

What advantage does absolute-age dating have over relative-age dating? Explain
kramer
Relative age is the age of a rock layer (or the fossils it contains) compared to other layers. It can be determined by looking at the position of rock layers. Absolute age is the numeric age of a layer of rocks or fossils. Absolute age can be determined by using radiometric dating.

How does an electric iron work when the power is on​
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

The basic principle on which the electric iron works is that when a current is passed through a piece of wire, the wire heats up. This heat is distributed to the sole (base) plate of the electric iron through conduction.

A solid sphere of radius 40.0cm has a total positive charge of 26.0μC uniformly distributed throughout its volume. Calculate the
Rudiy27

The magnitude of the electric field for 60 cm is 6.49 × 10^5 N/C

R(radius of the solid sphere)=(60cm)( 1m /100cm)=0.6m

Q\;(\text{total charge of the solid sphere})=(26\;\mathrm{\mu C})\left(\dfrac{1\;\mathrm{C}}{10^6\;\mathrm{\mu C}} \right)={26\times 10^{-6}\;\mathrm{C}}

Since the Gaussian sphere of radius r>R encloses all the charge of the sphere similar to the situation in part (c), we can use Equation (6) to find the magnitude of the electric field:

E=\dfrac{Q}{4\pi\epsilon_0 r^2}

Substitute numerical values:

E&=\dfrac{24\times 10^{-6}}{4\pi (8.8542\times 10^{-12})(0.6)}\\ &={6.49\times 10^5\;\mathrm{N/C}\;\text{directed radially outward}}}

The spherical Gaussian surface is chosen so that it is concentric with the charge distribution.

As an example, consider a charged spherical shell S of negligible thickness, with a uniformly distributed charge Q and radius R. We can use Gauss's law to find the magnitude of the resultant electric field E at a distance r from the center of the charged shell. It is immediately apparent that for a spherical Gaussian surface of radius r < R the enclosed charge is zero: hence the net flux is zero and the magnitude of the electric field on the Gaussian surface is also 0 (by letting QA = 0 in Gauss's law, where QA is the charge enclosed by the Gaussian surface).

A 70.0 kg base runner moving at a speed of 4.0 m/s begins his slide into second base. The coefficient of friction between his cl
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

B. 560 J

J. 1.2 m

Explanation:

v = Final velocity = 0

u = Initial velocity = 4 m/s

\mu = Coefficient of friction = 0.7

m = Mass of runner = 70 kg

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81\ \text{m/s}^2

Kinetic energy is given by

K=\dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)\\\Rightarrow K=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 70\times (0^2-4^2)\\\Rightarrow K=-560\ \text{J}

The mechanical energy lost is 560 J

Acceleration is given by

a=-\mu g\\\Rightarrow a=-0.7\times 9.81\\\Rightarrow a=-6.867\ \text{m/s}^2

From kinematic equations we get

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\dfrac{0^2-4^2}{2\times -6.867}\\\Rightarrow s=1.165\approx 1.2\ \text{m}

The runner slides for 1.2 m
