You are removing branches from your roof after a big storm. You throw a branch horizontally from your roof, which is a height 3.

00 m above the ground. The branch lands a horizontal distance 8.00 m away from where you threw it (assuming you are the 0 position in x, and the branch traveled in the x direction). You can assume there is no air resistance. You can assume that the upwards direction is positive. What is the initial velocity in x of the branch (how fast did you throw the branch)

Answer:

The initial velocity in the x-direction with which the branch was thrown is approximately 10.224 m/s

Explanation:

The given parameters of the motion of the branch are;

The height from which the branch is thrown = 3.00 m

The horizontal distance the branch lands from where it was thrown, x = 8.00 m

The direction in which the branch is thrown = Horizontally

Therefore, the initial vertical velocity of the branch, u_y = 0 m/s

The time it takes an object in free fall (zero initial downward vertical velocity) to reach the ground is given as follows;

s = u_y·t + 1/2·g·t²

Where;

u_y = 0 m/s

s = The initial height of the object = 3.00 m

g = The acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

∴ s = 0·t + 1/2·g·t² = 0 × t + 1/2·g·t² = 1/2·g·t²

t = √(2·s/g) = √(2 × 3/9.8) = (√30)/7 ≈ 0.78246

The horizontal distance covered before the branch touches the ground, x = 8.00 m

Therefore, the initial velocity in the horizontal, x-direction with which the branch was thrown, 'uₓ', is given as follows;

uₓ = x/t = 8.00 m/((√30)/7 s)

Using a graphing calculator, we get;

uₓ = 8.00 m/((√30)/7 s) = (28/15)·√30 m/s ≈ 10.224 m/s

The initial velocity in the horizontal, x-direction with which the branch was thrown, uₓ ≈ 10.224 m/s.

A mass m is attached to an ideal massless spring. When this system is set in motion with amplitude a, it has a period t. What is
Luden [163]

The period will be the same if the amplitude of the motion is increased to 2a

What is an Amplitude?

Amplitude refers to the maximum extent of a vibration or oscillation, measured from the position of equilibrium.

Here,

mass m is attached to the spring.

mass attached = m

time period = t

We know that,

The time period for the spring is calculated with the equation:

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }

Where k is the spring constant

Now if the amplitude is doubled, it means that the distance from the equilibrium position to the displacement is doubled.

From the equation, we can say,

Time period of the spring is independent of the amplitude.

Hence,

Increasing the amplitude does not affect the period of the mass and spring system.
