Answer:

(a) The total energy of the spring system is 0.032 J

(b) The speed of the object when its position is 1.20 cm is approximately 1.28996 m/s

(c) The kinetic energy when its position is 2.50 cm is 0.0195 J

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The mass of the object connected to the spring, m = 35.0 g = 0.00

The force constant, k = 40.0 N/m

The amplitude of the oscillation, a = 4.00 cm = 0.04 m

Therefore, we have

(a) The total energy of the spring system, E given as follows;

E = PE + KE = 1/2·m·v² + 1/2·k·x²

Where;

v = The velocity of the spring

x = The extension of the spring

When the spring is completely extended, x = a, and v = 0, therefore;

The total energy of the spring system, E = 1/2 × k × a² = 1/2 × 40.0 N/m × (0.04 m)² = 0.032 J

(b) At x = 1.20 cm = 0.012 m, we have;

E = 1/2·m·v² + 1/2·k·x²

0.032 = 1/2 × 0.035 × v² + 1/2 × 40 × 0.012²

0.032 - 1/2 × 40 × 0.012² = 1/2 × 0.035 × v²

0.02912 = 1/2 × 0.035 × v²

1/2 × 0.035 × v² = 0.02912

v² = 0.02912/(1/2 × 0.035) = 1.664

v = √1.664 ≈ 1.28996

The speed of the object when its position is 1.20 cm, v ≈ 1.28996 m/s

(c) When its position is 2.50 cm = 0.025 m, we have;

E = PE + KE

0.032 = 1/2 × 40 × 0.025² + KE

KE = 0.032 - 1/2 × 40 × 0.025² = 0.0195

The kinetic energy when its position is 2.50 cm = 0.0195 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.

Why are different constellations<br> of stars seen during different<br> seasons?

slamgirl [31]

Actually, they're not. There's a group of stars and constellations arranged
around the pole of the sky that's visible at any time of any dark, clear night,
all year around. And any star or constellation in the rest of the sky is visible
for roughly 11 out of every 12 months ... at SOME time of the night.

Constellations appear to change drastically from one season to the next,
and even from one month to the next, only if you do your stargazing around
the same time every night.

Why does the night sky change at various times of the year ? Here's how to
think about it:

The Earth spins once a day. You spin along with the Earth, and your clock is
built to follow the sun . "Noon" is the time when the sun is directly over your
head, and "Midnight" is the time when the sun is directly beneath your feet.

Let's say that you go out and look at the stars tonight at midnight, when you're
facing directly away from the sun.

In 6 months from now, when you and the Earth are halfway around on the other
side of the sun, where are those same stars ? Now they're straight in the
direction of the sun. So they're directly overhead at Noon, not at Midnight.

THAT's why stars and constellations appear to be in a different part of the sky,
at the same time of night on different dates.

Can anyone solve these for my by using unit vectors? Can you also please show your work

Oxana [17]

4. The Coyote has an initial position vector of $\vec r_0=(15.5\,\mathrm m)\,\vec\jmath$ .

4a. The Coyote has an initial velocity vector of $\vec v_0=\left(3.5\,\frac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)\,\vec\imath$ . His position at time $t$ is given by the vector

$\vec r=\vec r_0+\vec v_0t+\dfrac12\vec at^2$

where $\vec a$ is the Coyote's acceleration vector at time $t$ . He experiences acceleration only in the downward direction because of gravity, and in particular $\vec a=-g\,\vec\jmath$ where $g=9.80\,\frac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}$ . Splitting up the position vector into components, we have $\vec r=r_x\,\vec\imath+r_y\,\vec\jmath$ with

$r_x=\left(3.5\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)t$

$r_y=15.5\,\mathrm m-\dfrac g2t^2$

The Coyote hits the ground when $r_y=0$ :

$15.5\,\mathrm m-\dfrac g2t^2=0\implies t=1.8\,\mathrm s$

4b. Here we evaluate $r_x$ at the time found in (4a).

$r_x=\left(3.5\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)(1.8\,\mathrm s)=6.3\,\mathrm m$

5. The shell has initial position vector $\vec r_0=(1.52\,\mathrm m)\,\vec\jmath$ , and we're told that after some time the bullet (now separated from the shell) has a position of $\vec r=(3500\,\mathrm m)\,\vec\imath$ .

5a. The vertical component of the shell's position vector is

$r_y=1.52\,\mathrm m-\dfrac g2t^2$

We find the shell hits the ground at

$1.52\,\mathrm m-\dfrac g2t^2=0\implies t=0.56\,\mathrm s$

5b. The horizontal component of the bullet's position vector is

$r_x=v_0t$

where $v_0$ is the muzzle velocity of the bullet. It traveled 3500 m in the time it took the shell to fall to the ground, so we can solve for $v_0$ :

$3500\,\mathrm m=v_0(0.56\,\mathrm s)\implies v_0=6300\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}$
