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

The first one is decreases because there are less molecules in the air.
The second on would be the last option, August 29, because a new moon occurs every 29 days.
The answer for the last one would be A, I presume, because when air masses arrive at a destination, it becomes dry.

A ball of mass m is thrown straight upward from ground level at speed v0. At the same instant, at a distance D above the ground,
n200080 [17]

Answer:

a. t = \frac{v_{0}  +/- \sqrt{v_{0} ^{2} - gD} }{g}  b. D = v₀²/2g

Explanation:

Here is the complete question

A ball is thrown straight up from the ground with speed v₀ . At the same instant, a second ball is dropped from rest from a height D , directly above the point where the first ball was thrown upward. There is no air resistance

Find the time at which the two balls collide.

Express your answer in terms of the variables D ,v₀ , and appropriate constants..

t = ?!

Part B

Find the value of D in terms of v₀ and g so that at the instant when the balls collide, the first ball is at the highest point of its motion.

Express your answer in terms of the variables v₀ and g .

D =?!

Solution

The distance moved by the ball dropped from distance,D with velocity v₀, H₁ = D - (v₀t - gt²/2) = D + v₀t + gt²/2.

The distance moved by the ball thrown straight upward with velocity v₀ is H₂ = v₀t - gt²/2.

The two balls collide when their vertical distances are equal. That is H₁ = H₂

So, D - v₀t + gt²/2 = v₀t - gt²/2

Collecting like terms

D + gt²/2 + gt²/2 = v₀t + v₀t

D +gt² = 2v₀t

gt² - 2v₀t + D = 0.

Using the quadratic formula,

t = \frac{-(-2v_{0} ) +/- \sqrt{(-2v_{0} )^{2} - 4 X g XD} }{2g} = \frac{2v_{0}  +/- \sqrt{4v_{0} ^{2} - 4gD} }{2g} = \frac{v_{0}  +/- \sqrt{v_{0} ^{2} - gD} }{g}

B. At its highest point, the velocity of the first ball, v = 0. Using v² = u² - 2gs where s = highest point of first ball when they collide and u = v₀.

0 = v₀² - 2gs

s = v₀²/2g.

Also, the time it takes the first ball to reach its highest point is gotten from v = u - gt. At highest point, v = 0 and u = v₀. So,

 0 = v₀ - gt₀

t₀ = v₀/g

Also H = s₁ + s where s₁  = distance moved by second ball in time t₀ for collision = v₀t₀ - gt₀²/2.

So, H = v₀t₀ - gt₀²/2 + v₀²/2g = v₀(v₀/g) - g(v₀/g)²/2 + v₀²/2g = v₀²/2g - v₀²/2g + v₀²/2g = v₀²/2g

A pitcher delivers a fast ball with a velocity of 43 m/s to the south. the batter hits the ball and gives it a velocity of 51 m/
hoa [83]
Assuming north as positive direction, the initial and final velocities of the ball are:
v_i=-43 m/s (with negative sign since it is due south)
v_f=+51 m/s
the time taken is t=1.0 ms=0.001 s, so the average acceleration of the ball is given by
a= \frac{v_f-v_i}{t}= \frac{51 m/s-(-43 m/s)}{0.001 s}=9.4 \cdot 10^4 m/s^2
And the positive sign tells us the direction of the acceleration is north.

Identify the direction (from high to low, from low to high) that heat is normally transferred and give an example. (WILL GIVE BR
Natasha2012 [34]
Heat normally travels from areas of higher heat to areas of lower heat. For example, if you were to be in a classroom and all the windows and doors were closed, and then you opened a door, then the reason why the room becomes cooler is not because cold air comes inside the room. However, it is because when you open the door, the heat from the classroom you're in escapes the room. This is why it feels cooler when you open a door, or even a window. Heat is traveling from areas of higher heat to areas of lower heat.

Juan is making ice tea. When he adds ice to the tea, why does the tea cool down?​
Tresset [83]

Answer: because the ice was cold, and it melted in the tea. So the tea is now cooler.
