A mysterious crate has shown up at your place of work, Firecracker Company, and you are told to measure its inertia. It is too h

eavy to lift, but it rolls smoothly on casters. Getting an inspiration, you lightly tape a 0.60-kg iron block to the side of the crate, slide a firecracker between the crate and the block, and light the fuse. When the firecracker explodes, the block goes one way and the crate rolls the other way. You measure the crate's speed to be 0.058 m/s by timing how long it takes to cross floor tiles. You look up the specifications of the firecracker and find that it releases 7 J of energy. That's all you need, and you quickly calculate the inertia of the crate.
What is that inertia?

Answer:

the inertia of the crate is (49.67 kg)r²

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

First; we will use the law of conservation of momentum to determine the mass of the crate;

m₁v₁ - m₂v₂ = 0

given that; m₁ = 0.60 kg and v₂ = 0.058 m/s

we substitute

0.60 × v₁ = m₂ × 0.058 = 0

m₂ = 0.60v₁ / 0.058 ----------- EQU 1

Next, we use the energy conservation relation to find the velocity

According to conservation of energy;

1/2m₁v₁² + 1/2m₂v₂² = 7 J

we substitute

1/2×0.60×v₁² + 1/2×m₂×(0.058)² = 7 J

0.3v₁² + 0.001682m₂ = 7 J ----- EQU 2

substitute value of m₂ form equ 1 into equ 2

0.3v₁² + 0.001682(0.60v₁ / 0.058) = 7 J

0.3v₁² + 0.0174v₁ = 7 J

0.3v₁² + 0.0174v₁ - 7 J = 0

we solve the quadratic equation;

{ x = [-b±√( b² - 4ac)] / 2a }

v₁ = [-0.0174 ±√( 0.0174² - 4×0.3×-7)] / 2×0.3

= [-0.0174 ±√(8.4003)] / 0.6

= [-0.0174 ± 2.8983 ] / 0.6

= -4.8595 or 4.8015 but{ v₁ ≠ - }

so v₁ = 4.8015 m/s ≈ 4.802 m/s

next we input value of v₁ into equation 1

m₂ = (0.60×4.8015) / 0.058

m₂ = 2.8809 / 0.058

m₂ = 49.67 kg

So, the moment of inertia of the crate will be;

I₂ = m₂r²

we substitute value of m₂

I₂ = (49.67 kg)r²

Therefore, the inertia of the crate is (49.67 kg)r²

What is the potential energy of an object 20 m in the air with a<br> mass of 600 kg?

Lana71 [14]

Answer:

Ep = 117600 J

Explanation:

Data:

Mass (m) = 600 kg
Height (h) = 20 m
Gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
Potential Energy (Ep) = ?

Use formula:

Ep = m * g * h

Replace:

Ep = 600 kg * 9.8 m/s² * 20 m

Multiply operations, and units:

Ep = 117600 J

What is the potential energy?

The potential energy is <u>117600 Joules.</u>

The time must be measured with respect to gravity. As it falls, it has free fall that is the force acting on it will be the gravity.With the distance in account, d = 1/2 gt²

mass weighing 16 pounds stretches a spring 8 3 feet. The mass is initially released from rest from a point 2 feet below the equi

valina [46]

Answer:

The answer is

" $x(t)= e^\frac{-t}{2}((\frac{-4}{3})\cos\frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}t- \frac{-64\sqrt{47}}{141} \sin\frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}t)+\frac{10}{3}(\cos(3t)+ \sin (3t))$ ".

Explanation:

Taking into consideration a volume weight = 16 pounds originally extends a springs $\frac{8}{3}$ feet but is extracted to resting at 2 feet beneath balance position.

The mass value is =

$W=mg\\m=\frac{w}{g}\\m=\frac{16}{32}\\m= \frac{1}{2} slug\\$

The source of the hooks law is stable,

$16= \frac{8}{3} k \\\\8k=16 \times 3 \\\\k=16\times \frac{3}{8} \\\\k=6 \frac{lb}{ft}\\\\$

Number $\frac{1}{2}$ times the immediate speed, i.e .. Damping force

$\frac{1}{2} \frac{d^2 x}{dt^2} = -6x-\frac{1}{2}\frac{dx}{dt}+10 \cos 3t \\\\\frac{1}{2} \frac{d^2 x}{dt^2}+ \frac{1}{2}\frac{dx}{dt}+6x =10 \cos 3t \\ \\\frac{d^2 x}{dt^2} +\frac{dx}{dt}+12x=20\cos 3t \\\\$

The m^2+m+12=0 and m is an auxiliary equation,

$m=\frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{1-4(12)}}{2}\\\\m=\frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{47i}}{2}\\\\\ m1= \frac{-1 + \sqrt{47i}}{2} \ \ \ \ or\ \ \ \ \ m2 =\frac{-1 - \sqrt{47i}}{2}$

Therefore, additional feature

$x_c (t) = e^{\frac{-t}{2}}[C_1 \cos \frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}t+ C_2 \sin \frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}t]$

Use the form of uncertain coefficients to find a particular solution.

Assume that solution equation,

$x_p = Acos(3t)+B sin(3t) \\x_p'= -3A sin (3t) + 3B cos (3t)\\x_p}^{n= -9 Acos(3t) -9B sin (3t)\\$

These values are replaced by equation ( 1):

$\frac{d^2x}{dt}+\frac{dx}{dt}+ 12x=20 \cos(3t) -9 Acos(3t) -9B sin (3t) -3Asin(3t)+3B cos (3t) + 12A cos (3t) + 12B sin (3t)\\\\3Acos 3t + 3B sin 3t - 3Asin 3t + 3B cos 3t= 20cos(3t)\\(3A+3B)cos3t -(3A-3B)sin3t = 20 cos (3t)\\$

Going to compare cos3 t and sin 3 t coefficients from both sides,

The cost3 t is 3A + 3B= 20 coefficients

The sin 3 t is 3B -3A = 0 coefficient

The two equations solved:

$3A+3B = 20 \\\frac{3B -3A=0}{}\\6B=20\\B= \frac{20}{6}\\B=\frac{10}{3}\\$

Replace the very first equation with the meaning,

$3B -3A=O\\3(\frac{10}{3})-3A =0\\A= \frac{10}{3}\\$

equation is

$x_p\\\\\frac{10}{3} cos (3 t) + \frac{10}{3} sin (3t)$

The ultimate plan for both the equation is therefore

$x(t)= e^\frac{-t}{2} (c_1 cos \frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}t)+c_2\sin\frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}t)+\frac{10}{3}\cos (3t)+\frac{10}{3}\sin (3t)$

Initially, the volume of rest x(0)=2 and x'(0) is extracted by rest i.e.

Throughout the general solution, replace initial state x(0) = 2,

Replace x'(0)=0 with a general solution in the initial condition,

$x(t)= e^\frac{-t}{2} [(c_1 cos \frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}t)+c_2\sin\frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}t)+\frac{10}{3}\cos (3t)+\frac{10}{3}\sin (3t)]\\\\$

$x(t)= e^\frac{-t}{2} [(-\frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}c_1\sin\frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}t)+ (\frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}c_2\cos\frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}t)+c_2\cos\frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}t) +c_1\cos\frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}t +c_2\sin\frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}t + \frac{-1}{2}e^{\frac{-t}{2}} -10 sin(3t)+10 cos(3t) \\\\$

$c_2=\frac{-64\sqrt{47}}{141}$

$x(t)= e^\frac{-t}{2}((\frac{-4}{3})\cos\frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}t- \frac{-64\sqrt{47}}{141} \sin\frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}t)+\frac{10}{3}(\cos(3t)+ \sin (3t))$
