A 0.454-kg block is attached to a horizontal spring that is at its equilibrium length, and whose force constant is 25.0 N/m. The

block rests on a frictionless surface. A 5.70×10−2-kg wad of putty is thrown horizontally at the block, hitting it with a speed of 8.99 m/s and bounced with the same speed of 8.99 m/s in opposite direction. How far does the block compresses the spring?

The total momentum of the block and putty prior to their collision is

(0.454 kg) (0 m/s) + (5.70 × 10⁻² kg) (8.99 m/s) ≈ 0.512 kg•m/s

and the total momentum after the collision is

(0.454 kg) <em>v</em> + (5.70 × 10⁻² kg) (-8.99 m/s)

where <em>v</em> is the velocity of the block. Momentum is conserved, so

(0.454 kg) <em>v</em> + (5.70 × 10⁻² kg) (-8.99 m/s) = 0.512 kg•m/s

==>   <em>v</em> ≈ 2.26 m/s

The total work done on the block by the spring as it gets compressed by a distance <em>x</em> is equal to the change in the block's kinetic energy:

1/2 (25.0 N/m) <em>x</em> ² = 1/2 (0.454 kg) (2.26 m/s) - 0

==>   <em>x</em> ≈ 0.202 m ≈ 20.2 cm

A 75.0-kg man standing on a bathroom scale in an elevator. Calculate the scale in N, reading if the elevator moves upward at a c
Salsk061 [2.6K]

The scale in N, reading if the elevator moves upward at a constant speed of 1.5 m/s^2 is 862.5 N.

weight of man = 75kg

speed of elevator, a = 1.5 m/ s^{2}

F - w = ma \\

F = w + ma

F = m ( a +g )

F = 75 ( 1.5 + 10 ) \\

F = 75 ( 11.5 )

F = 862.5 N

So, the scale reading in the elevator is greater than his 862.5 N weight. This indicates that the person is being propelled upward by the scale, which it must do in order to do so, with a force larger than his weight. According to what you experience in quickly accelerating or slowly moving elevators, it is obvious that the faster the elevator acceleration, the greater the scale reading.

Speed can be defines as the pace at which the position of an object changes in any direction.  Since speed simply has a direction and no magnitude, it is a scalar quantity.

In the figure below the pulley is a solid disk of mass M and radius R with rotational inertia MR 2/2. Two blocks one of mass m a
matrenka [14]
Assuming you are looking for the acceleration a:

1.m_1a = T_1 -m_1g
2.m_2a = m_2g - T_2
where T is the tension and a is the acceleration of the blocks. The acceleration of the two blocks and the acceleration of the pulley must be equal.

The torque on the pulley is given by:
3.\tau = \overrightarrow r \times \overrightarrow F = (T_2 - T_1)R = I\alpha = \frac{1}{2} MR^2 \frac{a}{R}
where I = \frac{1}{2} mR^2 and a = \alpha R.

Combining the three equations:
T_2 - T_1 = \frac{1}{2} Ma \\ m_2g - m_2a -m_1g - m_1a = (m_2-m_1)g - (m_1 + m_2)a = \frac{1}2}Ma \\ \\ a = \frac{(m_2 - m_1)g}{m_1 + m_2 + \frac{1}{2}M }
