A mass of 0.8 kg is fixed at a vertical spring with an unknown spring constant. When spring is released from rest, it extends to

15cm before it stops. As the system oscillates with Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM) the weight is pulled down 20cm further downward and being released.
1. What is the spring constant?
2. What is the total energy of the system?
3. What is the angular frequency of spring?
4. What is the velocity of the system at x=10cm below equilibrium position? ​

Answer:

1) k = 52 N/m

2) E = 1.0 J

3) ω = 8.1 rad/s

4) v = 1.4 m/s

Though asked for a velocity, we can only supply magnitude (speed) because we don't have enough information to determine direction.

If it happens to be the first time it is at y = - 10 cm after release, the velocity is upward.

Explanation:

Assuming the initial setup is after all transients are eliminated.

kx = mg

k = mg/x = 0.8(9.8) / 0.15

k = 52.26666.... ≈ 52 N/m

E = ½kA² = ½(52)(0.20²) = 1.045333... ≈ 1.0 J

ω = √(k/m) = √(52 / 0.8) = 8.0829... ≈ 8.1 rad/s

½mv² = ½kA² - ½kx²

v = √(k(A² - x²)/m) = √(52(0.20² - 0.10²)/0.8) = 1.39999... ≈ 1.4 m/s

How much energy must be transferred out of the system as heat q to lower its temperature to 0∘c? express your answer numerically
serg [7]

Answer:

Incomplete question:

Refer to the temperature versus time graph when answering the questions in Parts C through F. A system consists of 250 of water. The system, originally at = 21.0 , is placed in a freezer, where energy is removed from it in the form of heat at a constant rate. The figure shows how the temperature of the system takes to drop to, after which the water freezes. Once the freezing is complete, the temperature of the resulting ice continues to drop, reaching temperature after an hour. The following specific heat and latent heat values for water may be helpful.

specific heat of ice (at ) = 2.10 J/g K

latent heat of fusion (ice to water phase change at ) = 333.7 J/g

specific heat of water (at ) = 4.186 J/g K

latent heat of vaporization (water to steam phase change at ) = 2256 J/g

specific heat of steam (at ) = 2.01 J/g K

Answers:

Qtotal = 237775 J

Explanation:

To solve this exercise it is necessary to know that if the system is a single phase in which there is a temperature change or if it is a phase change at a single temperature. In the first case, the following formula would be used to calculate the amount of heat:

Q₁ = mCpΔT

Here

m is the mass = 250 g

Cp is the specific heat of ice = 2.1 J/g K

ΔT = 21 - 0 = 21°C = 294 K

In this case the amount of energy is

Q₁ = 250*2.1*294 = 154350 J

In the second case, where there is a phase change at a single temperature, the amount of heat is:

Q₂ = mLf

Here

Lf = latent heat of fusion (ice to water phase change) = 333.7 J/g

Substituting:

Q₂ = 250*333.7 = 83425 J

The total heat is:

Qtotal = 154350+83425=237775 J

Which two statements about an electric motor are true?
allochka39001 [22]

Options (b) and (d) are correct about an electric motor.

An electric motor is a device which coverts electrical energy into mechanical energy.It works on the principle that when a current carrying coil is placed in a magnetic field, it experiences torque. Because of that torque, the coil rotates and thus the electrical energy gets converted into mechanical (motion) energy.

A moving walkway has a speed of .4 m/s to the east. A stationary observer sees a man walking on the walkway with a velocity of 3
SVEN [57.7K]

Explanation:

Vnet = 0.4m/s - 3.0m/s = - 2.6m/s

so the man walks 2.6m/s towards the west

A subway train is traveling at 22.2 m/s when it approaches a slower train 50m ahead traveling in the same direction at 6.94 m/s.
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

Time that they collide = 4.99s

Relative speed of the trains when they collide: The relative speed of The first train relative to the second, slower train at collision = 4.781 m/s

Explanation:

We will use the equations of motion to obtain the solution required

At time t = 0

speed of first train = 22.2 m/s

Initial space between the two trains = 50 m

Speed of second train = 6.94 m/s

For the first car, distance covered by the first train = y

y = distance covered between the beginning of the deceleration and the point where the the two trains hit one another.

u = initial velocity = 22.2 m/s

t = time taken for all this to happen

a = deceleration = - 2.1 m/s²

y = ut + (1/2)at²

y = 22.2t - 1.05t² (eqn 1)

For the second train,

At t = 0, y = 50 m

Let the new distance moved by the second train before collision = (y - 50)

u = initial velocity = 6.94 m/s

t = time taken = t

a = acceleration of the second train = 0 m/s² (constant velocity)

(y - 50) = ut + (1/2)at²

y - 50 = 6.94t

y = 6.94t + 50 (eqn 2)

substituting for y in eqn 2 using the expression obtained in eqn 1

y = 22.2t - 1.05t²

y = 6.94t + 50

22.2t - 1.05t² = 6.94t + 50

1.05t² - 15.26t + 50 = 0

Solving this quadratic equation

t = 4.99 s or 9.54 s

The position of the two trains are the same at those two times, but the first time is when they hit each other.

t = 4.99 s

At 4.99 s, the the velocity of the first train

v = u + at

v = 22.2 + (-2.1×4.99) = 11.721 m/s in the same direction as the second train.

Relative velocity at this point will be

= 11.721 - 6.94 = 4.781 m/s

Relative speed of the trains when they collide: The relative speed of The first train relative to the second, slower train at collision = 4.781 m/s

Hope this Helps!!!
