A 50-cm-long spring is suspended from the ceiling. A 270 g mass is connected to the end and held at rest with the spring unstret

ched. The mass is released and falls, stretching the spring by 24 cm before coming to rest at its lowest point. It then continues to oscillate vertically. Part A What is the spring constant?

Answer:

k = 22.05 N/m

Explanation:

The potential energy of the mass is converted into potential energy of the spring.

Given:

mass m = 0.27 kg

gravitational constant g = 9.8 m/s²

distance falling/ stretching of spring h = 0.24 m

$U_{gravity} = U_{spring}\\ mgh = \frac{1}{2} kh^{2}$

Solving for k:

$k = 2mg\frac{1}{h}$

The ball will oscillate along the z axis between z=dz=d and z=−dz=−d in simple harmonic motion. What will be the angular frequen

Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

$\omega = \sqrt{\dfrac{kq_0Q}{ma^3} }$

Explanation:

Additional information:

<em>The ball has charge </em> $-q_0$ <em>, and the ring has positive charge </em> $+Q$ <em> distributed uniformly along its circumference. </em>

The electric field at distance $z$ along the z-axis due to the charged ring is

$E_z= \dfrac{kQz}{(z^2+a^2)^{3/2}}.$

Therefore, the force on the ball with charge $-q_0$ is

$F=-q_oE_z$

$F=- \dfrac{kq_0Qz}{(z^2+a^2)^{3/2}}$

and according to Newton's second law

$F=ma=m\dfrac{d^2z}{dz^2}$

substituting $F$ we get:

$- \dfrac{kq_0Qz}{(z^2+a^2)^{3/2}}=m\dfrac{d^2z}{dz^2}$

rearranging we get:

$m\dfrac{d^2z}{dz^2}+ \dfrac{kq_0Qz}{(z^2+a^2)^{3/2}}=0$

Now we use the approximation that

$z^2+a^2\approx a^2$ <em>(we use this approximation instead of the original </em> $d^2+a^2\approx a^2$ <em> since </em> $z$ <em>, our assumption still holds )</em>

and get

$m\dfrac{d^2z}{dz^2}+ \dfrac{kq_0Qz}{(a^2)^{3/2}}=0$

$m\dfrac{d^2z}{dz^2}+ \dfrac{kq_0Qz}{a^{3}}=0$

Now the last equation looks like a Simple Harmonic Equation

$m\dfrac{d^2z}{dz^2}+kz=0$

where

$\omega=\sqrt{ \dfrac{k}{m} }$

is the frequency of oscillation. Applying this to our equation we get:

$m\dfrac{d^2z}{dz^2}+ \dfrac{kq_0Q}{a^{3}}z=0\\\\m=m\\\\k= \dfrac{kq_0Q}{a^{3}}$

$\boxed{\omega = \sqrt{\dfrac{kq_0Q}{ma^3} }}$

Problem: At the local swimming hole, a favorite trick is torun

denis23 [38]

Answer:

2 revolutions

Explanation:

Assume that when she runs off the edge of the 8.3m high cliff, her vertical speed is 0. So gravitational acceleration g = 9.8m/s2 is the only thing that makes her fall down. So we can use the following equation of motion to calculate the time it takes for her to fall down:

$s = gt^2/2$

where s = 8.3 m is the distance that she falls, t is the time it takes to fall, which is what we are looking for

$t^2 = \frac{2s}{g} = \frac{2*8.3}{9.8} = 1.694$

$t = \sqrt{1.694} = 1.3 s$

Since she rotates with an average angular speed of 1.6rev/s. The number of revolutions she would make within 1.3s is

$rev = 1.3 * 1.6 = 2 revolution$
