An ideal spring is mounted horizontally, with its left end fixed. The force constant of the spring is 170 N/m. A glider of mass

1.2 kg is attached to the free end of the spring. The glider is pulled toward the right along a frictionless air track, and then released. Now the glider is moving in simple harmonic motion with amplitude 0.045 m. The motion is horizontal (one-dimensional).
Suddenly, Slimer holding an apple flies in and approaches the glider. Slimer drops the apple vertically onto the glider from a very small height. The apple sticks to the glider. The mass of the apple is 0.18 kg.
Recall that the total mechanical energy is E = 1/2 mv^2 + 1/2 kx^2 = 1/2 kA^2 = constant
(a) Calculate the new amplitude of the motion of the glider with apple if the apple is dropped at the moment when the glider passes through its equilibrium position, x = 0 m.
Hints: The total energy of the glider just before the collision is E = 1/2mglider v^2 = 1/2KA^2
The apple sticks to the glider in a completely inelastic collision. The glider is now moving with the apple but at a lower speed. The linear momentum is conserved. Write a corresponding equation.
Also, assume that the collision is very short, so just before the collision the glider is at x = 0 m, and just after the collision the glider and apple are still at x = 0 m. Therefore, the total energy of the glider just after the collision is Enew = 1/2mglider + applev^2new = 1/2kA^2new
(b) Calculate the period of the motion of the glider and the period of the motion of the glider with apple.
Hint: it's a very simple question.

a 1.2 kg rocket is launched from ground level with initial velocity of 12 m/s. What is the maximum height the rocket can reach?
Tanzania [10]

As the rocket is launched from the ground its height will go on increasing till it stops

So the height of rocket will be maximum when its speed becomes zero

so here we can use energy conservation theory

PE = KE

mgH = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

9.8*H = \frac{1}{2}*12^2

H = 7.35 m

So it will reach upto height 7.35 m

A point charge gives rise to an electric field with magnitude 2 N/C at a distance of 4 m. If the distance is increased to 20 m,
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

0.08 N/C

Explanation:

Electric Field: This is defined as the force per unit charge exerted at a point. The expression for electric field is given as,

E = Kq/r².............................. Equation 1

Where E = Electric Field, q = Charge, k = proportionality constant, r = distance.

making q the subject of the equation,

q = Er²/k............................... Equation 2

Given: E = 2 N/C, r = 4 m,

Substitute into equation 2

q = 2(4)²/k

q = 32/k C.

When r is increased to 20 m,

E = k(32/k)/20²

E = 32/400

E = 0.08 N/C.

Hence the electric Field = 0.08 N/C
