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

USPshnik [31]
No because an atom consists of <u>two</u> main parts <em>and</em> <u>three</u> subatomic particles - protons, neutrons, electrons. Each one is smaller than an atom, therefore they are subatomic particles. An atom only requires protons and electrons to be an atom - e.g. Hydrogen has 1 proton and 1 electron. Neutrons do not affect the overall charge of the atom, and only increase the atomic mass.

20 quantities and classified them in vector and scaler quantities​
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

A scalar quantity is defined as the physical quantity that has only magnitude, for example, mass and electric charge. On the other hand, a vector quantity is defined as the physical quantity that has both magnitude as well as direction like force and weight.

A piece of aluminum foil has a known surface density of
bija089 [108]

The cube has 6 equal, square, foil faces. The mass of foil for each face is (380/6) milligrams.

The surface area of each piece is (380)/(6•11) cm^2.

The length of each side of the piece is √(380/6•11) cm

That's about 2.4 cm .

It's a cute little foil cube, just under 1-inch each way.
