You lift a 10-N physics book up in the air a distance of 1.0 m, at a constant velocity

1 answer:

5 0

The book is lifted upward, but gravity points down, so the work done by gravity must be negative (so you can eliminate options 1 and 3).

The force exerted on the book by gravity has magnitude

<em>F</em> = <em>mg</em> = (10 N) (9.80 m/s^2) = 9.8 N ≈ 10 N

You raise the book 1.0 m in the opposite direction, so the work done is

<em>W</em> = (10 N) (-1.0 m) = -10 J

The displacement of a 500 g mass, undergoing simple harmonic motion, is defined by the function :

Delicious77 [7]

The maximum kinetic energy, maximum potential energy and the maximum mechanical energy are equal to 7.56J.

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

Simple harmonic motion, in physics, repetitive movement back and forth through an equilibrium, or central, position, so that the maximum displacement on one side of this position is equal to the maximum displacement on the other side.

Simple Harmonic Motion

The given equation of the simple harmonic motion is

$x=3.5 sin (\frac{\pi }{2t} + \frac{5\pi }{4} )$

Data;

ω = π/2

k = 1.254N/m

Solving this

$\frac{dx}{dt} = -3.5 X \frac{\pi }{2} cos (\frac{x\pi t}{2}+\frac{5\pi }{4} )$

Let's calculate the maximum velocity.

$V_{m} =\frac{3.5\pi }{2}$

This is only possible when cos θ = -1

The maximum kinetic energy is

$K_m =\frac{1}{2} mv^2 = \frac{1}{2} X \frac{500}{1000} X \frac{7^2\pi ^2}^{4} ^2$

$w^2 = \frac{k}{m} \\k = w^2m\\k = \frac{\pi ^2}{4} X \frac{500}{1000} \\k =1.254 N/m$

Using the value of spring constant, we can find the maximum potential energy.

$P.E =\frac{1}{2} k x^2\\P.E =\frac{1}{2} X 1.234 X 3.5^2 \\P.E = 7.56 J$

The maximum potential energy is 7.56J

The maximum mechanical energy is equal to the sum of maximum potential energy and the maximum kinetic energy.

ME = K.E + P.E

ME = 7.56J

From the calculations above, the maximum kinetic energy, maximum potential energy and the maximum mechanical energy are equal to 7.56J.

Each lunar cycle has one full moon, in which the relative positions of Earth, the sun, and the moon form in a straight line

aniked [119]

Complete Question:

Each lunar cycle has one full moon, in which the relative positions of Earth, the sun, and the moon form in a straight line. Which list represents the position of Earth, the sun, and the moon during a full moon?

Group of answer choices.

A. Earth, sun, moon

B. sun, moon, Earth

C. moon, sun, Earth

D. sun, Earth, moon

Answer:

D. sun, Earth, moon

Explanation:

A lunar eclipse is a phenomenon that occurs when the Earth comes between the Moon and the Sun thereby causing it to cover the Moon with its shadow.

Simply stated, lunar eclipse takes place when the Moon passes or moves through the Earth's shadow thereby blocking any ray of sunlight from reaching the Moon. Thus, the full moon appears deep red (blood moon).

Also, a lunar eclipse would occur only when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are closely aligned to form a straight line known as the syzygy.

There are three (3) types of lunar eclipse and these are;

1. Total lunar eclipse.

2. Partial lunar eclipse.

3. Penumbra lunar eclipse.

Each lunar cycle has one full moon, in which the relative positions of Earth, the sun, and the moon form in a straight line. Thus, the list which represents the position of Earth, the sun, and the moon during a full moon is sun, Earth, and moon

Which statement is true for a car that first goes around a curve of radius r at a constant speed v, and then goes around the sam

sasho [114]

Centripetal force is equal to (mv^2)/r
The way I use to answer these question is to set every variable to 1
m=1
v=1
r=1
so centripetal force =1
then change the variable we're looking at
and since we're find when it's half we could either change it to 1/2 or 2, but 2 is easier to use
m=1
v=2
r=1
((1)×(2)^2)/1=4
So the velocity in the 1st part is half the velocity in the 2nd part and the centripetal force is 4× less
The answer is the centripetal force is 1/4 as big the second time around
