4. Two forces act on a 2 kg object as shown. What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the object?

Physics

The resultant force on the object is

∑ <em>F</em> = 〈0, 8〉 N + 〈6, 0〉 N = 〈6, 8〉 N

which has a magnitude of

<em>F</em> = √((6 N)² + (8 N)²) = √(100 N²) = 10 N

By Newton's second law, the acceleration has magnitude <em>a</em> such that

<em>F</em> = <em>m a</em>

10 N = (2 kg) <em>a</em>

<em>a</em> = (10 N) / (2 kg)

<em>a</em> = 5 m/s²

so the answer is B.

For a damped simple harmonic oscillator, the block has a mass of 1.2 kg and the spring constant is 9.8 N/m. The damping force is
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

a) t=24s

b) number of oscillations= 11

Explanation:

In case of a damped simple harmonic oscillator the equation of motion is

m(d²x/dt²)+b(dx/dt)+kx=0

Therefore on solving the above differential equation we get,

x(t)=A₀e^{\frac{-bt}{2m}}cos(w't+\phi)=A(t)cos(w't+\phi)

where A(t)=A₀e^{\frac{-bt}{2m}}

 A₀ is the amplitude at t=0 and

w' is the angular frequency of damped SHM, which is given by,

w'=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}-\frac{b^{2}}{4m^{2}} }

Now coming to the problem,

Given: m=1.2 kg

           k=9.8 N/m

           b=210 g/s= 0.21 kg/s

           A₀=13 cm

a) A(t)=A₀/8

⇒A₀e^{\frac{-bt}{2m}} =A₀/8

⇒e^{\frac{bt}{2m}}=8

applying logarithm on both sides

⇒\frac{bt}{2m}=ln(8)

⇒t=\frac{2m*ln(8)}{b}

substituting the values

t=\frac{2*1.2*ln(8)}{0.21}=24s(approx)

b) w'=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}-\frac{b^{2}}{4m^{2}} }

w'=\sqrt{\frac{9.8}{1.2}-\frac{0.21^{2}}{4*1.2^{2}}}=2.86s^{-1}

T'=\frac{2\pi}{w'}, where T' is time period of damped SHM

⇒T'=\frac{2\pi}{2.86}=2.2s

let n be number of oscillations made

then, nT'=t

⇒n=\frac{24}{2.2}=11(approx)

A speedboat moves on a lake with initial velocity vector v1,x = 8.57 m/s and v1,y = -2.61 m/s, then accelerates for 6.67 seconds
KengaRu [80]
First, you find the velocity at each component. The general equation is:

a = (v2 - v1)/t

a,x = (v2,x - v1,x)/t
-0.105 = (v2,x - 8.57)/6.67
v2,x = 7.87 m/s

a,y = (v2,y - v1,y)/t
0.101 = (v2,y - -2.61)/6.67
v2,y = -1.94 m/s

To find the final speed, find the resultant velocity by taking the hypotenuse.

v^2 = (v2,x)^2 + (v2,y)^2
v^2 = (7.87)^2 + (-1.94)^2
v = 8.1 m/s

What are some ways scientists can study the seafloor?
TiliK225 [7]

Answer: A device records the time it takes sound waves to travel from the surface to the ocean floor and back again. Sound waves travel through water at a known speed. Once scientists know the travel time of the wave, they can calculate the distance to the ocean floor.
