Answer:
a. A = 0.1656 m
b. % E = 1.219
Explanation:
Given
mB = 4.0 kg , mb = 50.0 g = 0.05 kg , u₁ = 150 m/s , k = 500 N / m
a.
To find the amplitude of the resulting SHM using conserver energy
ΔKe + ΔUg + ΔUs = 0
¹/₂ * m * v² - ¹/₂ * k * A² = 0
A = √ mB * vₓ² / k
vₓ = mb * u₁ / mb + mB
vₓ = 0.05 kg * 150 m / s / [0.050 + 4.0 ] kg = 1.8518
A = √ 4.0 kg * (1.852 m/s)² / (500 N / m)
A = 0.1656 m
b.
The percentage of kinetic energy
%E = Es / Ek
Es = ¹/₂ * k * A² = 500 N / m * 0.1656²m = 13.72 N*0.5
Ek = ¹/₂ * mb * v² = 0.05 kg * 150² m/s = 1125 N
% E = 13.72 / 1125 = 0.01219 *100
% E = 1.219
Answer:
18.4 m
Explanation:
(a)
The known variables in this problem are:
u = 1.40 m/s is the initial vertical velocity (we take downward direction as positive direction)
t = 1.8 s is the duration of the fall
a = g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity
(b)
The vertical distance covered by the life preserver is given by
If we substitute all the values listed in part (a), we find
Unlike acceleration and velocity, speed does not need to specify the direction of motion. Speed is a scalar quality.
