The mass on the spring is 0.86 kg
Explanation:
The period of a mass-spring system is given by the equation
where
m is the mass
k is the spring constant
In this problem, we have:
k = 88.7 N/m is the spring constant
The system makes 15 oscillations in 9.24 s: therefore, the period of the system is
Now we can re-arrange the first equation to solve for the mass:

Hello!
A 10-kg cart moving at 5 m/s collides with a 5-kg cart at rest and causes it to move 10 m/s. Which principle explains the result? A) law of differential mass B) law of conservation of momentum C) law of unequal forces D) law of accelerated collision
We have the following data¹:
ΔP (momentum before impact) = ?
mA (mass) = 10 kg
vA (velocity) = 5 m/s
mB (mass) = 5 kg
vB (velocity) = 0 m/s
Solving:
ΔP = mA*vA + mB*vB
ΔP = 10 kg*5 m/s + 5 kg*0 m/s
ΔP = 50 kg*m/s + 0 kg*m/s
Δp = 50 kg*m/s ← (momentum before impact)
We have the following data²:
ΔP (momentum after impact) = ?
mA (mass) = 10 kg
vA (velocity) = 0 m/s
mB (mass) = 5 kg
vB (velocity) = 10 m/s
Solving:
Δp = mA*vA + mB*vB
Δp = 10 kg*0 m/s + 5 kg*10 m/s
Δp = 0 kg*m/s + 50 kg*m/s
Δp = 50 kg*m/s ← (momentum after impact)
*** Then, which principle explains the result ?
Law of conservation of momentum, <u>since the total momentum of body A and B before impact is equal to the total momentum of body A and B after impact.</u>
Note: Bodies of different masses and velocities may have the same kinetic energy, if proportionality between the units is maintained it can occur that they have the same kinetic energy.
Answer:
B) law of conservation of momentum

Explanation:
Whenever an object is moving in a 2D frame,its motion can be analysed as if it is travelling in two independent 1D frames.
One of such independent 1D frames are along horizontal and another along vertical.
Let be the total velocity.
Given that,
We call the horizontal velocity as and the vertical velocity as
.
=
where is the angle between the object and horizontal.
It is given that
