A 1.31 kg object is attached to a horizontal spring of force constant 2.70 N/cm and is started oscillating by pulling it 6.20 cm

from its equilibrium position and releasing it so that it is free to oscillate on a frictionless horizontal air track. You observe that after eight cycles its maximum displacement from equilibrium is only 3.70 cm.
(a) How much energy has this system lost to damping during these eight cycles?
(b) Where did the "lost" energy go? Explain physically how the system could have lost energy.

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

a) The change in energy is the difference between the final energy and the initial energy.

ΔE (energy change) = Ef (final energy) - Ei (initial energy)

\Delta E=\frac{1}{2}kA_f^2 -\frac{1}{2}kA_i^2\\\\k=force\ constant=2.7\ N/cm=270\ N/m, A_f=final\ dispalacment= 3.7\ cm=0.037\ m,\\ A_i=initial \ displacement = 6.2\ cm=0.062\ m\\\\Hence:\\\\\Delta E=\frac{1}{2}(270)(0.037)^2 -\frac{1}{2}(270)(0.062)^2\\\\\Delta E=-0.334 \ J

The negative sign shows that energy is lost to the environment. Hence 0.334 J is lost to the environment.

b) According to the law of conservation of energy, energy cannot be created or destroyed but transformed from one form to another.

The oscillating object loses energy due to wind resistance, friction between the spring and the object. Given that the air is frictionless, hence the energy loss is due to friction which is converted to heat.

How much total energy is dissipated in 10. seconds
noname [10]

Answer : Total energy dissipated is 10 J

Explanation :

It is given that,

Time. t = 10 s

Resistance of the resistors, R = 4-ohm

Current, I = 0.5 A

Power used is given by :

P=\dfrac{E}{t}

Where

E is the energy dissipated.

So, E = P t.............(1)

Since, P=I^2R

So equation (1) becomes :

E=I^2Rt

E=(0.5\ A)^2\times 4\Omega \times 10\ s

E=10\ J

So, the correct option is (3)

Hence, this is the required solution.

What is the force that the gas exerts on each of the six sides of the box when the gas temperature is 20.0∘C?
Taya2010 [7]

Incomplete question as number of moles and length is missing.So I have assumed 3 moles and length of 0.300 m.So the complete question is here:

Three moles of an ideal gas are in a rigid cubical box with sides of length 0.300 m.What is the force that the gas exerts on each of the six sides of the box when the gas temperature is 20.0∘C?

Answer:

The Force act on each side is 2.43×10⁴N

Explanation:

Given data

n=3 mol

L=0.3 m

Temperature=20.0°C=293 K

To find

Force F

Solution

To get force act on each side it would employ by

F=P.A

Where P is pressure

A is Area

First we need to find pressure by applying ideal gas law

So

P.V=nRT\\P=\frac{nRT}{V}\\ P=\frac{(3mol)(8.315J/mol)(293K)}{(0.3m*0.3m*0.3m)}\\P=27.069*10^{4}Pa

So The Force is given as:

F=P.A\\F=(27.069*10^{4} )(0.3m*0.3m)\\F=2.43*10^{4}N

The Force act on each side is 2.43×10⁴N

You are watching a magic show. For one trick the magician rolls a ball down a hill. Suddenly the ball stops moving down the hill
poizon [28]
The forces (what causes the ball to accelerate) are gravity, friction, and the normal force. In this case, gravity is a downward force caused by the gigantic mass of the Earth and the mass of the ball. Keep in mind that a force is acceleration. Acceleration is a change in velocity. The ball speeds up. Than it stops speeding up at a certain point where the frictional force (along with air friction) equals the parallel component of gravity. 




Newton's Second Law States- The greater mass of an object, the more force it will take to accelerate the object.

Why is chopping carrots a physical change ?
astra-53 [7]

Answer: Chopping carrots is a chemical change because you aren't changing the property its substance, you are just chopping it up, there is no new substance being formed.
