A 5.00-kg object is attached to one end of a horizontal spring that has a negligible mass and a spring constant of 280 N/m. The

other end of the spring is fixed to a wall. The spring is compressed by 10.0 cm from its equilibrium position and released from rest.
1) What is the speed of the object when it is 8.00 cm from equilibrium? (Express your answer to three significant figures.)
2) What is the speed when the object is 5.00 cm from equilibrium? (Express your answer to three significant figures.)
3) What is the speed when the object is at the equilibrium position? (Express your answer to three significant figures.)

Answer:

1) v = 0.45 m/s

2) v = 0.65 m/s

3) v = 0.75 m/s  

Explanation:

1) We can find the speed of the object by conservation of energy:

E_{i} = E_{f}

\frac{1}{2}kx^{2} = \frac{1}{2}kx^{2} + \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

Where:

k: is the spring constant = 280 N/m

v: is the speed of the object =?

m: is the mass of the object = 5.00 kg

x: is the displacement of the spring

\frac{1}{2}280N/m(0.10 m)^{2} = \frac{1}{2}280N/m(0.08 m)^{2} + \frac{1}{2}5.00 kgv^{2}                              

v = \sqrt{\frac{280N/m(0.10 m)^{2} - 280N/m(0.08 m)^{2}}{5.00 kg}} = 0.45 m/s

2) When the object is 5.00 cm (0.050 m) from equilibrium, the speed of the object is:

\frac{1}{2}kx^{2} = \frac{1}{2}kx^{2} + \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}    

\frac{1}{2}280N/m(0.10 m)^{2} = \frac{1}{2}280N/m(0.05 m)^{2} + \frac{1}{2}5.00 kgv^{2}      

v = \sqrt{\frac{280N/m(0.10 m)^{2} - 280N/m(0.05 m)^{2}}{5.00 kg}} = 0.65 m/s      

 

3) When the object is at the equilibrium position, the speed of the object is:

\frac{1}{2}kx^{2} = \frac{1}{2}kx^{2} + \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}    

\frac{1}{2}280N/m(0.10 m)^{2} = \frac{1}{2}280N/m(0 m)^{2} + \frac{1}{2}5.00 kgv^{2}      

v = \sqrt{\frac{280N/m(0.10 m)^{2}}{5.00 kg}} = 0.75 m/s

I hope it helps you!

A block with mass ma = 14.0 kg on a smooth horizontal surface is connected by a thin cord that passes over a pulley to a second
Drupady [299]
<span>We can assume that the horizontal surface has no friction and the pulley is massless. We can use Newton's second law to set up an equation. F = Ma F is the net force M is the total mass of the system a is the acceleration a = F / M a = (mb)(g) / (ma + mb) a = (6.0 kg)(9.80 m/s^2) / (6.0 kg + 14.0 kg) a = 58.8 N / 20 kg a = 2.94 m/s^2 The magnitude of the acceleration of the system is 2.94 m/s^2</span>

An 80- quarterback jumps straight up in the air right before throwing a 0.43- football horizontally at 15 . How fast will he be
lord [1]

Answer:

a)

the quarterback will be moving back at speed of 0.080625 m/s

b)

the distance moved horizontally by the quarterback is 0.0241875 m or 2.41875 cm

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

a)

How fast will he be moving backward just after releasing the ball?

using conservation of momentum;

m₁v₁ = m₂v₂

v₂ = m₁v₁ / m₂

where m₁ is initial mass ( 0.43 kg )

m₂ is the final mass ( 80 kg )

v₁ is the initial velocity  ( 15 m/s )

v₂ is the final velocity

so we substitute

v₂ = ( 0.43 × 15 ) / 80

v₂ = 6.45 / 80

v₂ = 0.080625 m/s

Therefore, the quarterback will be moving back at speed of 0.080625 m/s

b) Suppose that the quarterback takes 0.30 to return to the ground after throwing the ball. How far d will he move horizontally, assuming his speed is constant?

we make use of the relation between time, distance and speed;

s = d/t

d = st

where s is the speed ( 0.080625 m/s )

t is time ( 0.30 s )

so we substitute

d = 0.080625 × 0.30

d = 0.0241875 m or 2.41875 cm

Therefore, the distance moved horizontally by the quarterback is 0.0241875 m or 2.41875 cm

Would it be true that if you double the distance of an astronaut from a planet, the gravitational pull between them would be hal
velikii [3]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Newton's law of universal gravitation is usually stated that every particle attracts every other particle in the universe with a force which is directly proportional to the product of their masses(m1 and m2) and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers(r).

F = Gm1m2/r²

This is a general physical law derived from

empirical observations by what Isaac Newton called inductive reasoning.

when distance is doubled the gravitational force will be reduced by quarter not half.
