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

Answer:

d_2 = 4d_1

Explanation:

The range or horizontal distance covered by a projectile projected with a velocity U at an angel of θ to the horizontal is given by

R = U²sin2θ/g

Let the range or horizontal distance of ball 1 with initial velocity U projected at an angle θ = 55° be

d_1 = U²sin2θ/g

Let the range or horizontal distance of ball 2 with initial velocity V = 2U projected at an angle θ = 55° be

d_2 = V²sin2θ/g

= (2U)²sin2θ/g

= 4U²sin2θ/g

= 4d_1   (since d_1 = U²sin2θ/g)

So, the ball 2 lands a distance d_2 = 4d_1 from the initial point.

To stretch a certain nonlinear spring by an amount x requires a force F given by F = 40 x − 6 x 2 , where F is in Newtons and x
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

64 J

Explanation:

The potential energy change of the spring ∆U = -W where W = work done by force, F.

Now W = ∫F.dx

So, ∆U = - ∫F.dx = - ∫Fdxcos180 (since the spring force and extension are in opposite directions)

∆U = - ∫-Fdx

=  ∫F.dx

Since F = 40x - 6x² and x moves from x = 0 to x = 2 m, we integrate thus, ∆U =  ∫₀²F.dx

=  ∫₀²(40x - 6x²).dx

=  ∫₀²(40xdx - 6x²dx)

=  ∫₀²(40x²/2 - 6x³/3)

=  ∫₀²(20x² - 2x³)

= [20x² - 2x³]₀²

= [(20(2)² - 2(2)³) - (20(0)² - 2(0)³)

= [(20(4) - 2(8)) - (0 - 0))

= [80 - 16 - 0]

= 64 J

Distinguish between basic and derived units
alex41 [277]

Answer:

Base units are defined units based on specific objects or events in the physical world. Derived units are defined by combining base units.

Base units are defined by a particular process of measuring a base quantity whereas derived units are defined as algebraic combinations of base units. For example, length is a base quantity in both SI and the English system, but the meter is a base unit in the SI system only.
