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

Assuming the bar has no weight where does the fulcrum (the top point of the tringle) need to be positioned for the two sides to
Inessa05 [86]

Fulcrum need to be positioned balanced with weight on both the sides following law of lever.

What is the physical law of the lever?

  • It is the foundation for issues with weight and balance. According to this rule, a lever is balanced when the weight multiplied by the arm on one side of the fulcrum, which serves as the pivot point for the device, equals the weight multiplied by the arm on the opposing side.
  • The lever is balanced, in other words, when the sum of the moments about the fulcrum is zero.
  • The situation in which the positive moments (those attempting to turn the lever clockwise) equal the negative moments is known as this (those that try to rotate it counterclockwise).
  • Moving the weights closer to or away from the fulcrum, as well as raising or lowering the weights, can alter the balance point, or CG, of the lever.

The graph below shows the position of an ant as it crawls over a flat picnic blanket. The total time for the ant to go from the
Mice21 [21]

The average speed of the ant is 0.276 cm/s and the average velocity is 0.136 cm/s.

The correct answer is option D.

In the given graph, we can deduce the following;

  • the total time of the motion, = 1 mins + 45 s = 60 s + 45 s = 105 s

The average speed of the ant is calculated as;

average \ speed = \frac{total \ distance }{total \ time }

The total distance from the graph is calculated as follows;

  • first horizontal distance from 2 cm to 8 cm = 8 - 2 = 6 cm
  • first upward distance from 3 cm to 5 cm = 5 - 3 = 2 cm
  • second horizontal distance from 8 cm to 6 cm = 8 - 6 = 2 cm
  • second upward distance from 5 cm to 12 cm = 12 - 5 = 7 cm
  • third horizontal distance from 6 cm to 13 cm = 13 - 6 = 7 cm
  • fourth downward distance from 12 cm to 9 cm = 3 cm
  • final horizontal distance from 13 cm to 15 cm = 2cm

The total distance = (6 + 2 + 2 + 7 + 7 + 3 + 2) cm = 29 cm

average \ speed = \frac{total \ distance }{total \ time } = \frac{29 \ cm}{105 \ s} = 0.276 \ cm/s

The average velocity is calculated as the change in displacement per change in time.

The displacement is the shortest distance between the start and end positions.

  • This shortest distance is the straight line connecting the start and end position. Call this line P
  • From the end position at x = 15 cm, draw a vertical line from y = 9 cm, to y = 3 cm. The displacement = 9 cm - 3 cm = 6 cm
  • Also, draw a horizontal line from start at x = 2 cm to x = 15 cm. The displacement = 15 cm - 2 cm = 13 cm

Notice, you have a right triangle, now calculate the length of  line P.

                                                ↓end

                                                ↓

                                                ↓ 6cm

                                                ↓

  start -------------13 cm------------

Use Pythagoras theorem to solve for P.

P^2 = 6^2 + 13^2\\\\P^2 = 36 + 169\\\\P^2 = 205\\\\P= \sqrt{205} \\\\P = 14.318 \ cm

The average velocity of the ant is calculated as;

average \ velocity= \frac{\Delta displacemnt  }{total\ time }= \frac{14.318 \ cm}{105 \  s} = 0.136 \ cm/s  \\\\

Thus, the average speed of the ant is 0.276 cm/s and the average velocity is 0.136 cm/s.
