Answer:

Explanation:

From our investigation of what forces are like in a collision, we learned that when two

objects collide, a force is exerted on each object. The two forces are in opposite

directions but the same strength. This allowed us to infer that an equal strength force

was exerted on the space station and the pod, but in opposite directions.

As a result, the space station and the pod are moving in opposite directions. We need to

learn more about the effects of collisions on each object’s motion so we can report back

to Dr. Gonzales at the space agency.

You will use physical materials to gather data about

forces in a collision. You will also notice how objects

are affected by collisions. Students will use their

data to infer the force direction for objects in a

collision.

Based on the velocity change of each object,

what did you infer about the direction of forces

during a collision?

• We observed that the velocity of each object changed during a collision, so we can infer

that a force had to be exerted on each object. However, the motion of the objects

changed in different ways.

• The object that was moving forward slowed down, so I can infer that the force must have

pushed backward on this object.

• The other object started moving forward, so the force must have pushed forward on that

object. If one force was backward and one force was forward, then the forces pushed

the objects in opposite directions.

4. I drop a pufferfish of mass 5 kg from a height of 5.5 m onto an upright spring of total length 0.5 m and spring constant 3000

KatRina [158]

Answer:

a) 0.28 m or 28 cm is the minimum height above ground the fish reaches.

b) at the height of 0.484 m height , the pufferfish will eventually come to rest.

c) There exists two types of energy remain at the equilibrium point in the system. These are :

Gravitational potential energy = 23.72J

Spring potential energy = 0.384 J

Explanation:

Given that :

Mass of the pufferfish m =5kg

initial height of the fish h =5.5m

length of the spring l =0.5m

Spring constant K =3000N/m

Assuming no energy loss to friction, what is the minimum height above the ground that the pufferfish reaches?

Lets assume that the minimum height the fish reaches is = x meters

Now by using the conservation of energy; we realize that :

Initial total energy = final total energy

Gravitational potential energy =

Gravitational potential energy' + Spring potential energy (kinetic energy is zero in both cases)

$mgh = mgx + \frac{1}{2}K(l-x)^2$

Replacing our given values into the above equation; we have :

$(5)(9.8)(5.5) = (5)(9.5)(x) + \frac{1}{2}(3000)(0.5-x)^2$

269.5 = 47.5 x + 1500(0.5 -x )²

269.5 = 47.5 x + 1500(0.25 - x²)

269.5 = 47.5 x + 375 - 1500 x²

269.5 - 375 = 47.5 x - 1500 x²

-105.5 = 47.5 x - 1500 x²

-105.5 + 1500 x² - 47.5 x = 0

1500 x² - 47.5 x - 105.5 = 0

By using quadratic equation and taking the positive value;

x = 0.28 m or 28 cm is the minimum height above ground the fish reaches.

At the equilibrium position the weight of fish will be equal to the force applied by the spring thus

mg = kx

substituting our given values ; we have:

(5)(9.8) = 3000x

x = 61.22

x = 0.016m : so this is the compression in the spring

Now; to determine the height the pufferfish gets to before it eventually come to rest; we have

(0.5-0.016) m = 0.484m

therefore, at the height of 0.484 m height , the pufferfish will eventually come to rest.

There exists two types of energy remain at the equilibrium point in the system. These are :

Gravitational potential energy = mgh' = (5)(9.8)(0.484)

= 23.72J

and spring potential energy

$=\frac{1}{2}Kx^2\\ = \frac{1}{2}(3000)(0.016)^2\\= 0.384J$

In lab, your instructor generates a standing wave using a thin string of length L = 1.65 m fixed at both ends. You are told that

erik [133]

Answer:

On the standing waves on a string, the first antinode is one-fourth of a wavelength away from the end. This means

$\frac{\lambda}{4} = 0.275~m\\\lambda = 1.1~m$

This means that the relation between the wavelength and the length of the string is

$3\lambda/2 = L$

By definition, this standing wave is at the third harmonic, n = 3.

Furthermore, the standing wave equation is as follows:

$y(x,t) = (A\sin(kx))\sin(\omega t) = A\sin(\frac{\omega}{v}x)\sin(\omega t) = A\sin(\frac{2\pi f}{v}x)\sin(2\pi ft) = A\sin(\frac{2\pi}{\lambda}x)\sin(\frac{2\pi v}{\lambda}t) = (2.45\times 10^{-3})\sin(5.7x)\sin(59.94t)$

The bead is placed on x = 0.138 m. The maximum velocity is where the derivative of the velocity function equals to zero.

$v_y(x,t) = \frac{dy(x,t)}{dt} = \omega A\sin(kx)\cos(\omega t)\\a_y(x,t) = \frac{dv(x,t)}{dt} = -\omega^2A\sin(kx)\sin(\omega t)$

$a_y(x,t) = -(59.94)^2(2.45\times 10^{-3})\sin((5.7)(0.138))\sin(59.94t) = 0$

For this equation to be equal to zero, sin(59.94t) = 0. So,

$59.94t = \pi\\t = \pi/59.94 = 0.0524~s$

This is the time when the velocity is maximum. So, the maximum velocity can be found by plugging this time into the velocity function:

$v_y(x=0.138,t=0.0524) = (59.94)(2.45\times 10^{-3})\sin((5.7)(0.138))\cos((59.94)(0.0524)) = 0.002~m/s$

Which statement is true about an atom and an element?

Lemur [1.5K]

"<span>An atom is the smallest unit of matter and an element is a pure substance that is made of identical atoms" is correct. Although atoms can be broken down further now, it still take a whole atom to make an element. </span>
