A spring with spring constant 11.5 N/m hangs from the ceiling. A 490 g ball is attached to the spring and allowed to come to res

t. It is then pulled down 6.70 cm and released.
What is the time constant if the ball's amplitude has decreased to 2.20 cm after 30.0 oscillations?

Answer:

The time constant is \tau = 17.5 \ s    

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The spring constant is  k = 11.5 \  N/m

   The mass  of the ball is  m_b  = 490 \ g  = 0.49 \ kg

   The amplitude of the  oscillation t the beginning is x =  6.70 cm = 0.067 \  m

    The amplitude after time t is  x_t = 2.20 cm = 0.022 \  m

    The number of oscillation is N  = 30

Generally the time taken to attain the second amplitude is mathematically represented as

       t  = N  *  T                                            Here  T is the period of oscillation

         t = N * 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }

=>     t = 30 * 2 * 3.142 *  \sqrt{\frac{ 0.490}{11.5} }

=>     t = 38.88 \  s

Generally the amplitude at time t is mathematically represented as

         x(t) = x e^{-\frac{at}{2m} }

Here a is the damping  constant so

 at  t = 38.88 \  s ,  x_t = 2.20 cm = 0.022 \  m

So  

     0.022 = 0.067 e^{-\frac{a * 38.88}{2 * 0.490} }

=>  0.3284 = e^{-\frac{a * 38.88}{2 * 0.490} }

taking natural log of both sides

=>  ln(0.3284 ) = -\frac{a * 38.88}{2 * 0.490} }    

=>   a = 0.028

Generally the time constant is mathematically represented as

    \tau = \frac{m}{a}      

=> \tau = \frac{0.490}{  0.028}    

=> \tau = 17.5 \ s

Suppose you are playing hockey on a new-age ice surface for which there is no friction between the ice and the hockey puck. You
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

<em>Not slow down or speed up</em>.

Explanation:

Hitting the puck accelerates the speed of the puck from zero to the speed with which it leaves at the instance they lose contact. Since there is no friction between the puck and the ice, there will be no force decelerating or accelerating the hockey puck, allowing the puck to move away and remain in motion without speeding up or slowing down indefinitely theoretically.

A hot-air balloon is ascending at the rate of 10 m/s and is 74 m above the ground when a package is dropped over the side. (a) H
Reika [66]

Answer:

The answer to your question is:

a)  t1 = 2.99 s ≈ 3 s

b)  vf = 39.43 m/s

Explanation:

Data

vo = 10 m/s

h = 74 m

g = 9.81 m/s

t = ?   time to reach the ground

vf = ?   final speed

a)    h = vot + (1/2)gt²

     74 = 10t + (1/2)9.81t²

     4.9t² + 10t -74 = 0                  solve by using quadratic formula

   

   t = (-b ± √ (b² -4ac) / 2a

   t = (-10 ± √ (10² -4(4.9(-74) / 2(4.9)

   t = (-10 ± √ 1550.4 ) / 9.81

  t1 = (-10 + √ 1550.4 ) / 9.81               t2 = (-10 - √ 1550.4 ) / 9.81

  t1 = (-10 ± 39.38 ) / 9.81                    t2 = (-10 - 39.38) / 9.81

   t1 = 2.99 s ≈ 3 s                               t2 = is negative then is wrong there are

                                                                   no negative times.

b) Formula vf = vo + gt

                  vf = 10 + (9.81)(3)

                  vf = 10 + 29.43

                  vf = 39.43 m/s

What is a characteristic of physics that astrology does not have?
katrin2010 [14]
Think about it, in physics, it has theories or something that people believe astrology basically consists of MYTHOLOGY and it could also be correct with predictions. Astrology  doesnt have actual answers for any type of questions

A person slaps her leg with her hand, which results in her hand coming to rest in a time interval of 2.75 ms2.75 ms from an init
kumpel [21]

Answer:

2677.3 N

Explanation:

v₀ = initial speed of the hand = 4.75 m/s

v  = final speed of the hand = 0 m/s

m = Total mass of hand and forearm = 1.55 kg

t = time interval for hand to come to rest = 2.75 ms = 0.00275 s

F = Force applied on the leg

Using Impulse-change in momentum equation

F t = m (v - v₀)

F (0.00275) = (1.55) (0 - 4.75)

F = - 2677.3 N

magnitude of force = 2677.3 N
