An air-track glider attached to a spring oscillates between the 10 cm mark and the 60 cm mark on the track. The glider completes

10 oscillations in 33 s. What are the (a) period, (b) frequency, (c) amplitude, and (d) maximum speed of the glider

Answer:

a) Time period is 3.3 seconds

b) The frequency is 0.3030 Hz

c) amplitude is 0.25 m

d) maximum speed is 0.476 m/s

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

a) Period

Time Period T = Time taken for one oscillation

T = 33s / 10 = 3.3 seconds

Therefore, Time period is 3.3 seconds

b) Frequency

we know that frequency is the inverse of time period

so;

Frequency f = 1/T = 1 / 3.3 s

Frequency f = 0.3030 Hz

Therefore, The frequency is 0.3030 Hz

c) amplitude

amplitude A = $\frac{1}{2}$ ( 60 cm - 10 cm )

A = $\frac{1}{2}$ × 50 cm

A = 25 cm

A = 0.25 m

Therefore, amplitude is 0.25 m

d) maximum speed of the glider

maximum speed $V_{max}$ = ωA

and ω = 2π/T

so maximum speed $V_{max}$ = $\frac{2\pi }{T}$ A

so we substitute

so maximum speed $V_{max}$ = $\frac{2\pi }{3.3}$ × 0.25 m

so maximum speed $V_{max}$ = 0.476 m/s

Therefore, maximum speed is 0.476 m/s

An electric motor has an effective resistance of 22 22 and an inductive reactance of 72 12 when working under load. The voltage

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

Current amplitude, I = 5.57 A

Explanation:

It is given that,

Effective resistance, R = 22 ohms

Inductive reactance, L = 72 ohms

Voltage of the alternating source, V = 420 volt

The total impedance of the RL circuit is given by :

$Z=\sqrt{R^2+L^2}$

$Z=\sqrt{(22)^2+(72)^2}$

Z = 75.28 ohms

From Ohm's law,

$V=I\times Z$

$I=\dfrac{V}{Z}$

$I=\dfrac{420}{75.28}$

I = 5.57 A

So, the current amplitude of the electric motor is 5.57 A. Hence, this is the required solution.

How is Newton’s first law demonstrated by your zip line

Nikitich [7]

Newton's First Law: An object in motion stays in motion, an object at rest stays at rest unless an unbalanced force acts upon it. For example, when zipping down the zip line you will stay in motion unless an outside force interferes. ... The more mass the more force needed.

A boat crossing a 153.0 m wide river is directed so that it will cross the river as quickly as possible. The boat has a speed of

Lynna [10]

We have the relation

$\vec v_{B \mid E} = \vec v_{B \mid R} + \vec v_{R \mid E}$

where $v_{A \mid B}$ denotes the velocity of a body A relative to another body B; here I use B for boat, E for Earth, and R for river.

We're given speeds

$v_{B \mid R} = 5.10 \dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}$

$v_{R \mid E} = 3.70 \dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}$

Let's assume the river flows South-to-North, so that

$\vec v_{R \mid E} = v_{R \mid E} \, \vec\jmath$

and let $-90^\circ < \theta < 90^\circ$ be the angle made by the boat relative to East (i.e. -90° corresponds to due South, 0° to due East, and +90° to due North), so that

$\vec v_{B \mid R} = v_{B \mid R} \left(\cos(\theta) \,\vec\imath + \sin(\theta) \, \vec\jmath\right)$

Then the velocity of the boat relative to the Earth is

$\vec v_{B\mid E} = v_{B \mid R} \cos(\theta) \, \vec\imath + \left(v_{B \mid R} \sin(\theta) + v_{R \mid E}\right) \,\vec\jmath$

The crossing is 153.0 m wide, so that for some time $t$ we have

$153.0\,\mathrm m = v_{B\mid R} \cos(\theta) t \implies t = \dfrac{153.0\,\rm m}{\left(5.10\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right) \cos(\theta)} = 30.0 \sec(\theta) \, \mathrm s$

which is minimized when $\theta=0^\circ$ so the crossing takes the minimum 30.0 s when the boat is pointing due East.

It follows that

$\vec v_{B \mid E} = v_{B \mid R} \,\vec\imath + \vec v_{R \mid E} \,\vec\jmath \\\\ \implies v_{B \mid E} = \sqrt{\left(5.10\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)^2 + \left(3.70\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)^2} \approx 6.30 \dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}$

The boat's position $\vec x$ at time $t$ is

$\vec x = \vec v_{B\mid E} t$

so that after 30.0 s, the boat's final position on the other side of the river is

$\vec x(30.0\,\mathrm s) = (153\,\mathrm m) \,\vec\imath + (111\,\mathrm m)\,\vec\jmath$

and the boat would have traveled a total distance of

$\|\vec x(30.0\,\mathrm s)\| = \sqrt{(153\,\mathrm m)^2 + (111\,\mathrm m)^2} \approx \boxed{189\,\mathrm m}$
