Answer:

4116J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the person = 70kg

Height of the ladder = 6m

Unknown:

Work done = ?

Solution:

The work done by the person climbing is the same as the potential energy.

Work done is the force applied to move a body through a distance;

So;

Potential energy = mass x acceleration due to gravity x height

Therefore;

Potential energy = 70 x 9.8 x 6 = 4116J

charle [14.2K]

The spring constant is $4.0\cdot 10^{-5} N/m$

Explanation:

For an object in a simple harmonic motion, the acceleration of the object is related to the displacement by

$a=-\omega^2 x$

where

a is the acceleration

$\omega$ is the angular frequency

x is the displacement

The angular frequency is defined as

$\omega=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$

where

k is the spring constant

m is the mass

Substituting the second equation into the first one, we get

$a=-\frac{k}{m}x$

In this problem we have

m = 1 g = 0.001 kg

And at t=0,

x = 43.75 cm

a = -1.754 cm/s

Therefore, we can re-arrange the equation above to find the spring constant:

$k=-\frac{ma}{x}=-\frac{(0.001)(-1.754)}{43.75}=4.0\cdot 10^{-5} N/m$

A block attached to a spring with an unknown spring constant oscillates with a period of 2.0 s. What is the period if

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

a) If the mass is doubled, then the period is increased by $\sqrt{2}$ . Hence, the period of the system is 2.828 seconds.

b) If the mass is halved, then the period is reduced by $\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$ . Hence, the period of the system is 1.414 seconds.

c) The period of the system does not depend on amplitude. Hence, the period of the system is 2 seconds.

d) If the spring constant is doubled, then the period is reduced by $\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$ . Hence, the period of the system is 1.414 seconds.

Explanation:

The statement is incomplete. We proceed to present the complete statement: A block attached to a spring with unknown spring constant oscillates with a period of 2.00 s. What is the period if a. The mass is doubled? b. The mass is halved? c. The amplitude is doubled? d. The spring constant is doubled?

We have a block-spring system, whose angular frequency ( $\omega$ ) is defined by the following formula:

$\omega = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }$ (1)

Where:

$k$ - Spring constant, measured in newtons per meter.

$m$ - Mass, measured in kilograms.

And the period ( $T$ ), measured in seconds, is determined by the following expression:

$T = \frac{2\pi}{\omega}$ (2)

By applying (1) in (2), we get the following formula:

$T = 2\pi\cdot \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }$

a) If the mass is doubled, then the period is increased by $\sqrt{2}$ . Hence, the period of the system is 2.828 seconds.

b) If the mass is halved, then the period is reduced by $\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$ . Hence, the period of the system is 1.414 seconds.

c) The period of the system does not depend on amplitude. Hence, the period of the system is 2 seconds.

d) If the spring constant is doubled, then the period is reduced by $\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$ . Hence, the period of the system is 1.414 seconds.
