A marble resting near the edge of .90 m high table is given an initial horizontal speed of 1.24 m/s. What will be it’s horizonta

Maru [420]

Answer:

0.53 m

Explanation:

First of all, we have to consider the vertical motion of the ball, in order to find the time it takes for the marble to reach the ground. The initial height is $h=0.90 m$ , the initial vertical velocity is zero, while the acceleration is $g=-9.81 m/s^2$ , so the vertical position at time t is given by

$y(t)=h-\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

By demanding y(t)=0, we find the time t at which the ball reaches the ground:

$0=h-\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(0.9 m)}{9.81 m/s^2}}=0.43 s$

Now we can find the horizontal range of the marble: we know the initial horizontal speed (v=1.24 m/s), we know the total time of the motion (t=0.43 s), and since the horizontal speed is constant, the total distance traveled on the horizontal direction is

$x=vt=(1.24 m/s)(0.43 s)=0.53 m$

The end point of a spring oscillates with a period of 2.0 s when a block with mass m is attached to it. When this mass is increa

Nostrana [21]

Answer: The end point of a spring oscillates with a period of 2.0 s when a block with mass m is attached to it. When this mass is increased by 2.0 kg, the period is found to be 3.0 s. Then the mass m is 0.625kg.

Explanation: To find the answer, we need to know more about the simple harmonic motion.

<h3>What is simple harmonic motion?</h3>

A particle is said to execute SHM, if it moves to and fro about the mean position under the action of restoring force.
We have the equation of time period of a SHM as,

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }$
