A vertical spring with a spring constant of 420 N/m is mounted on the floor. From directly above the spring, which is unstrained

, a 0.15-kg block is dropped from rest. It collides with and sticks to the spring, which is compressed by 3.7 cm in bringing the block to a momentary halt. Assuming air resistance is negligible, from what height above the compressed spring was the block dropped

Answer:

19.53 cm

Explanation:

The computation of the height is as follows:

Here we applied the conservation of the energy formula

As we know that

P.E of the block = P.E of the spring

 m g h = ( 1 ÷ 2) k x^2

where

m = 0.15

g = 9.81

k = 420

x = 0.037

So now put the values to the above formula

(0.15) (9.81) (h) = 1 ÷2 × 420 × (0.037)^2

1.4715 (h) = 0.28749

h = 0.19537 m

= 19.53 cm

A lorry of mass 4000 kg is travelling at a speed of 4 m/s.
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

KE = 32,000J

v = 8m/s

Explanation:

KE = .5*m*v²

KE = .5*4000kg*(4m/s)²

KE = 32,000J

32,000J = .5*1000kg*v²

v² = 64

v = 8m/s

A certain frictionless simple pendulum having a length l and mass m swings with period t. If both l and m are doubled, what is t
iVinArrow [24]

If l and m both are doubled then the period becomes √2*T

what is a simple pendulum?

It is the one which can be considered to be a point mass suspended from a string or rod of negligible mass.

A pendulum is a weight suspended from a pivot so that it can swing freely.

Here,

A certain frictionless simple pendulum having a length l and mass m

mass of pendulum = m

length of the pendulum = l

The period of simple pendulum is:

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g} }

Where k is the constant.

Now the length and mass are doubled,

m' = 2m

l' = 2l

T' = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{2l}{g} }

T' = \sqrt{2}* 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g} }

T' = \sqrt{2} * T

Hence,

If l and m both are doubled then the period becomes √2*T

An LC circuit is built with a 20 mH inductor and an 8.0 PF capacitor. The capacitor voltage has its maximum value of 25 V at t =
Margaret [11]

Answer:

a) the required time is 0.6283 μs

b) the inductor current is 0.5 mA

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

The capacitor voltage has its maximum value of 25 V at t = 0

i.e V_m = V₀ = 25 V

we determine the angular velocity;

ω = 1 / √( LC )

ω = 1 / √( ( 20 × 10⁻³ H ) × ( 8.0 × 10⁻¹² F) )

ω = 1 / √( 1.6 × 10⁻¹³  )

ω = 1 / 0.0000004

ω = 2.5 × 10⁶ s⁻¹

a) How much time does it take until the capacitor is fully discharged for the first time?

V_m =  V₀sin( ωt )

we substitute

25V =  25V × sin( 2.5 × 10⁶ s⁻¹ × t )

25V =  25V × sin( 2.5 × 10⁶ s⁻¹ × t )

divide both sides by 25 V

sin( 2.5 × 10⁶ × t ) = 1

( 2.5 × 10⁶ × t ) = π/2

t = 1.570796 / (2.5 × 10⁶)

t = 0.6283 × 10⁻⁶ s

t = 0.6283 μs

Therefore, the required time is 0.6283 μs

b) What is the inductor current at that time?

I(t) = V₀√(C/L) sin(ωt)

{ sin(ωt) = 1 )

I(t) = V₀√(C/L)

we substitute

I(t) = 25V × √( ( 8.0 × 10⁻¹² F ) / ( 20 × 10⁻³ H ) )

I(t) = 25 × 0.00002

I(t) = 0.0005 A

I(t) = 0.5 mA

Therefore, the inductor current is 0.5 mA

Friction provides the force needed for a car to travel around a flat, circular race track. What is the maximum speed at which a
blagie [28]

Answer:

The maximum speed at which the car can safety travel around the track is 18.6m/s.

Explanation:

Since the car is in circular motion, there has to be a centripetal force F_c. In this case, the only force that applies for that is the static frictional force f_sbetween the tires and the track. Then, we can write that:

f_s=F_c

And since f_s\leq \mu N and F_c=\frac{mv^{2}}{r}, we have:

\mu N\geq \frac{mv^{2}}{r}

Now, if we write the vertical equation of motion of the car (in which there are only the weight and the normal force), we obtain:

N-mg=0\\\\\\implies N=mg

Substituting this expression for N and solving for v, we get:

\mu mg\geq \frac{mv^{2}}{r}\\\\v\leq \sqrt{\mu gr}

Finally, plugging in the given values for the coefficient of friction and the radius of the track, we have:

v\leq \sqrt{(0.42)(9.81m/s^{2})(84.0m)}\\\\v\leq 18.6m/s

It means that in its maximum value, the speed of the car is equal to 18.6m/s.
