Answer:
v = 0
Explanation:
This problem can be solved by taking into account:
- The equation for the calculation of the period in a spring-masss system
( 1 )
- The equation for the velocity of a simple harmonic motion
( 2 )
where m is the mass of the block, k is the spring constant, A is the amplitude (in this case A = 14 cm) and v is the velocity of the block
Hence
and by reeplacing it in ( 2 ):
In this case for 0.9 s the velocity is zero, that is, the block is in a position with the max displacement from the equilibrium.
Answer:
a) x = (0.0114 ± 0.0001) in
, b) the number of decks is 5
Explanation:
a) The thickness of the deck of cards (d) is measured and the thickness of a card (x) is calculated
x = d / 52
x = 0.590 / 52
x = 0.011346 in
Let's look for uncertainty
Δx = dx /dd Δd
Δx = 1/52 Δd
Δx = 1/52 0.005
Δx = 0.0001 in
The result of the calculation is
x = (0.0114 ± 0.0001) in
b) You want to reduce the error to Δx = 0.00002, the number of cards to be measured is
#_cards = n 52
The formula for thickness is
x = d / n 52
Uncertainty
Δx = 1 / n 52 Δd
n = 1/52 Δd / Δx
n = 1/52 0.005 / 0.00002
n = 4.8
Since the number of decks must be an integer the number of decks is 5
Answer:
Newtons.
Explanation:
Force is given by the multiplication of mass and acceleration.
Mathematically, Force is;
Where;
F represents force measured in Newton.
m represents the mass of an object measured in kilograms.
a represents acceleration measured in meter per seconds square.
Newtons is a measurement we use to determine the amount of force used to move an object by a simple machine. It is the International System of Units (SI) used to measure force and has a symbol of N.
Basically, it was named after Sir Isaac Newton based on his fundamental works in the field of mechanics (motions).
Answer: The force needed is 140.22 Newtons.
Explanation:
The key assumption in this problem is that the acceleration is constant along the path of the barrel bringing the pellet from velocity 0 to 155 m/s. This means the velocity is linearly increasing in time.
The force exerted on the pellet is
F = m a
In order to calculate the acceleration, given the displacement d,
we will need to determine the time t it took for the pellet to make the distance through the barrel of 0.6m. That time can be determined using the average velocity of the pellet while traveling through the barrel. Since the velocity is a linear function of time, as mentioned above, the average is easy to calculate as:
This value can be used to determine the time for the pellet through the barrel:
Finally, we can use the above to calculate the force:
