Consider the system consisting of the box and the spring, but not Earth. How does the energy of the system when the spring is fu
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

the energy when it reaches the ground is equal to the energy when the spring is compressed.

Explanation:

For this comparison let's use the conservation of energy theorem.

Starting point. Compressed spring

         Em₀ = K_e = ½ k x²

Final point. When the box hits the ground

         Em_f = K = ½ m v²

since friction is zero, energy is conserved

          Em₀ = Em_f

          1 / 2k x² = ½ m v²

          v = \sqrt{ \frac{k}{m} }     x

Therefore, the energy when it reaches the ground is equal to the energy when the spring is compressed.

A spinning top initially spins at 16rad/s but slows down to 12rad/s in 18s, due to friction. If the rotational inertia of the to
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

The  change  in angular momentum is \Delta  L  = 0.0016 \ kgm^2/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

      The initial angular velocity of the spinning top is  w_1  =  16 \ rad/s

      The angular velocity after it slow down is  w_2 =  12 \ rad/s

      The time  for it to slow down is  t =  18 \ s

       The rotational inertia due to friction is  I =  0.0004 \ kg \cdot m^2

 Generally the change in the angular momentum is  mathematically represented as  

         \Delta  L  =  I  *(w_1 -w_2)

substituting values  

        \Delta  L  =  0.0004  *(16 -12)

       \Delta  L  = 0.0016 \ kgm^2/s

An overnight rainstorm has caused a major roadblock. Three massive rocks of mass m1=584 kg, m2=838 kg, and m3=322 kg have blocke
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

Force must be applied to m₁ to move the group of rocks from the road at 0.250 m/s² = 436 N

Explanation:

Total force required = Mass x Acceleration,

F = ma

Here we need to consider the system as combine, total mass need to be considered.

Total mass, a = m₁+m₂+m₃ = 584 + 838 + 322 = 1744 kg

We need to accelerate the group of rocks from the road at 0.250 m/s²

That is acceleration, a = 0.250 m/s²

Force required, F = ma = 1744 x 0.25 = 436 N

Force must be applied to m₁ to move the group of rocks from the road at 0.250 m/s² = 436 N

(1 point) A mass m=4kg is attached to both a spring with spring constant k=577N/m and a dash-pot with damping constant c=4N⋅s/m
sasho [114]

Answer:

The function is x = e^(-t/2) * (0.792*sin12t + 5cos12t)

Explanation:

we have to:

m = mass = 4 kg

k = spring constant = 577 N/m

c = damping constant = 4 N*s/m

The differential equation of motion is equal to:

m(d^2x/dt^2) + c(dx/dt) + k*x = 0

Replacing values:

4(d^2x/dt^2) + 4(dx/dt) + 577*x = 0

Thus, we have:

4*x^2 + 4*x + 577 = 0

we will use the quadratic equation to solve the expression:

x = (-4 ± (4^2 - (4*4*577))^1/2)/(2*4) = (-4 ± (-9216))/8 = (1/2)  ± 12i

The solution is equal to:

x = e^(1/2) * (c1*sin12t + c2*cos12t)

x´ = (-1/2)*e^(1/2) * (c1*sin12t + c2*cos12t) + e^(-t/2) * (12*c1*cos12t - 12*c2*sin12t)

We have the follow:

x(0) = 5

e^0(0*c1 + c2) = 5

c2 = 5

x´(0) = 7

(-1/2)*e^0 * (0*c1 + c2) + e^0 * (12*c1 - 0*c2) = 7

(-1/2)*(5) + 12*c1 = 7

Clearing c1:

c1 = 0.792

The function is equal to:

x = e^(-t/2) * (0.792*sin12t + 5cos12t)

Zina [86]

Answer:

The current through the wire is equal to 0.8 A.

Explanation:

Given that,

The length of a copper wire = 2 m

Potential difference = 24 mV

The current through the wire is 0.40 A.

The new potential difference is 48 mV.

We need to find the current through the wire.

As the potential difference is doubled for second wire. So the new current will be :

I' = 2I

= 2 × 0.4

= 0.80 A

So, the current through the wire is equal to 0.8 A.
