By what factor must we increase the amplitude of vibration of an object at the end of a spring in order to double its maximum sp

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

$A'=2A$

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of energy, the total energy of the system can be expresed as the sum of the potential energy and kinetic energy:

$E=U+K=\frac{kA^2}{2}\\E=\frac{kx^2}{2}+\frac{mv^2}{2}=\frac{kA^2}{2}$

When the spring is in its equilibrium position, that is $x=0$ , the object speed its maximum. So, we have:

$\frac{k(0)^2}{2}+\frac{mv_{max}^2}{2}=\frac{kA^2}{2}\\A^2=\frac{mv_{max}^2}{k}\\A=\sqrt{\frac{mv_{max}^2}{k}}$

In order to double its maximum speed, that is $v'{max}=2v_{max}$ . We have:

$A'=\sqrt{\frac{m(v'_{max})^2}{k}}\\A'=\sqrt{\frac{m(2v_{max})^2}{k}}\\A'=\sqrt{\frac{4mv_{max}^2}{k}}\\A'=2\sqrt{\frac{mv_{max}^2}{k}}\\A'=2A$

After a projectile is fired into the air, what is the magnitude of the acceleration

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer: Option A; 9.8 m/s^2

Explanation:

When an object is in the air, and there is no air resistance acting on the object, the only force that will act on the object is the gravitational force (on the vertical axis).

Then, if the only force acting on the object is the gravitational force, the acceleration of the object will be equal to the gravitational acceleration.

We know that the gravitational acceleration is equal to:

g = 9.8m/s^2

Then the acceleration on the vertical axis will be equal to:

a(t) = 9.8m/s^2

The correct option is the first one:

A. 9.8 m/s^2

The following three resistors (Ohms) are in parallel with one voltage source. What is the total current running through circuit?

Zepler [3.9K]

Explanation:

The total resistance Rt is given by

1/Rt = 1/Ra + 1/Rb + 1/Rc = 1/5 + 1/4 + 1/7 = 0.593

or Rt = 1.69 ohms

The total current I running through the circuit is

I = V/Rt = 2.37 A

A car has a momentum of 20,000 kg • m/s. what would the car’s momentum be if its velocity doubles? 10,000 kg • m/s 20,000 kg • m

babunello [35]

It would definitely be 40,000 <span>kg • m/s because if you double either the mass or velocity and the other stays the same, the momentum will double no matter what.</span>
