Answer:

Explanation:

<u>Simple Harmonic Oscillator</u>

It consists of a weight attached to one end of a spring being allowed to move forth and back.

If m is the mass of the weight and k is the constant of the spring, the period of the oscillation is given by:

$\displaystyle T=2\pi {\sqrt {\frac {m}{k}}}$

If the period is known, we can find the value of the constant by solving for k:

$\displaystyle k=m\left(\frac{2\pi}{T}\right)^2$

Substituting the given values m=5 Kg and T=2.8 seconds:

$\displaystyle k=5 \left(\frac{2\pi}{2.8}\right)^2$

k = 25.18 N/m

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

The moment of inertia is $I=\frac{M}{12} a^{2}$

Explanation:

The moment of inertia is equal:

$I=\int\limits^a_b {r^{2} } \, dm$

If r is $-\frac{a}{2}$

and $dm=\frac{M}{a} dr$

$I=\int\limits^a_b {r^{2}\frac{M}{a} } \, dr\\a=\frac{a}{2} \\b=-\frac{a}{2}$

$I=\frac{M}{a} \int\limits^a_b {r^{2} } \, dr\\\\I=\frac{M}{a} (\frac{M}{3} )_{b}^{a}\\ I=\frac{M}{3a} (\frac{a^{3} }{8} +\frac{a^{3} }{8} )\\I=\frac{M}{12} a^{2}$

A weightlifter raises a 50kg weight to a height of 2m in 2 minutes. What was the power spent by the weightlifter?

belka [17]

Answer:

117.72kW

Explanation:

Given data

Mass m= 50kg

height x = 2m

time taken = 2 minutes= 129 seconds

let us find the work done

WD= force * distance

WD= mgx

WD= 50*9.81*2

WD= 981 Joules

Let us find the power

Power= work * time

Power= 981*120

Power= 117720

Power= 117.72 kW

Hence the power spent is 117.72kW

A particle that carries a net charge of -41.8 μc is held in a region of constant, uniform electric field. the electric field vec

miss Akunina [59]

The total work done by the electric field on the charge is given by the scalar product between the electric force acting on the charge and the displacement of the charge:
$W=F d cos \theta$
where the force is F=qE, d=0.556 and $\theta=55.2^{\circ}$ . Using the value of q and E given by the problem, we find
$W=qEdcos\theta = 6.39\cdot10^{-5}J$
