A 30 g particle is undergoing simple harmonic motion with an amplitude of 2.0 ✕ 10-3 m and a maximum acceleration of magnitude 8
KiRa [710]

Answer:

Explanation:

By using the Newton second law and the position equation for a simple harmonic motion we have

F=ma\\a_{max}=\omega^{2}A\\x=Acos(\omega t+ \phi)\\

where a is the acceleration, w is the angular frecuency and \phi is the phase constant. We can calculate w from the equation for the maximum acceleration

\omega=\sqrt{\frac{a_{max}}{A}}=\sqrt{\frac{8*10^{3}m/s^{2}}{2*10^{-3}}}=2000rad/s

(a).

F=ma=m\omega^{2}Acos(\omega t + \phi)\\F=(30*10^{-3}kg)(2*10^{-3}m)(2000\frac{rad}{s})^{2}cos(2000\frac{rad}{s} t - \frac{\pi}{2})=240N*cos(2000\frac{rad}{s} t - \frac{\pi}{2})

(b). T=\frac{2\pi}{\omega}=\frac{2\pi}{2000}=3.14*10^{-13} s

(c). v_{max}=A\omega=(2*10^{-3}m)(2000\frac{rad}{s})=4\frac{m}{s}

(d). The mecanical energy is the kinetic energy when the velocity is a maximum

E_{m}=E_{k}(v_{max})=\frac{mv_{max}^{2}}{2}=\frac{30*10^{-3}kg(4\frac{m}{s})^{2}}{2}=0.024J

A simple pendulum, 2.0 m in length, is released with a push when the support string is at an angle of 25° from the vertical. If
hammer [34]

Answer: 2.3m/s

Explanation:

mass-energy balance: ke(f) + pe(f) = ke(o) + pe(o)

since we are looking for the point at the bottom of the pendulum, thats the reference point, the lowest in the system. pe(f) is 0, since h

ke(f)=0.5m x v(f)^2

pe(f)=0

ke(o)=0.5m x v(o)^2

pe(o)-mxgxh

find h by: drawing a triangle with the pendulum at the vertical, then displaced by 25 degrees , The difference in height is h, because cos(25)=(adj)/(hyp)=(2-h)/2. I found h=0.187m

In the m-e balance, cancel the masses in all the terms.

.5xv(f)^2 =0.5v(o)^2 +gxh

Given v(o) = 1.2 m/s and g = 9.8 then v(f) = 2.2595 m/s

Therefore V(0) = 2.3 m/s

Q1) After applying a force of 1000 N an object of mass 2000 kg will achieve what<br>acceleration?​
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

F=mass x acceleration

1000= 2000 x a

a=1000/2000

a=1/2 m/sec^2

The moon does not stay at the same distance from the earth.why?​
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

The moon does not stay at the same distance of the earth because the ortbit of the moon is slightly elliptical. If earth is not tilted at an angle of 66.5°, there will be no change in the season and the earth will have equal length of days and night.
