A particle of mass 4.00 kg is attached to a spring with a force constant of 100 N/m. It is oscillating on a frictionless, horizo

ntal surface with an amplitude of 2.00 m. A 6.00 kg object is dropped vertically on top of the 4.00 kg object as it passes through its equilibrium point. The two objects stick together.
a) What is the new amplitude of the vibrating system after the collision?
b) By what factor has he period of the system changed?
c) By how much does the energy of the system change as a result of the collision?

Solution :

Given :

Mass attached to the spring = 4 kg

Mass dropped = 6 kg

Force constant = 100 N/m

Initial amplitude = 2 m

Therefore,

a). $v_{initial} = A w$

          $= 2 \times \sqrt{\frac{100}{4}}$

          = 10 m/s

Final velocity, v at equilibrium position, v = 5 m/s

Now, $\frac{1}{2}(4+4)5^2 = \frac{1}{2} kA'$

A' = amplitude = 1.4142 m

b). $T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}$

    m' = 2m

    Hence, $T'=\sqrt2 T$

c). $\frac{\frac{1}{2}(4+4)5^2 + \frac{1}{2}\times 4 \times 10^2}{\frac{1}{2} \times 4 \times 10^2}$

  $=\frac{1}{2}$

Therefore, factor $=\frac{1}{2}$

Thus, the energy will change half times as the result of the collision.

A 39-cm-long vertical spring has one end fixed on the floor. Placing a 2.2 kg physics textbook on the spring compresses it to a
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

The spring constant is 215.6 N/m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance = 39 cm

Compresses length = 29 cm

Mass = 2.2 kg

We need to calculate the distance

Using formula of distance

x=l-l'

Put the value into the formula

x=39-29=10\ cm

We need to calculate the spring constant

Using formula of restoring force

F=kx

k=\dfrac{mg}{x}

Where, F = force

x = distance

Put the value into the formula

k=\dfrac{2.2\times9.8}{10\times10^{-2}}

k=215.6\ N/m

Hence, The spring constant is 215.6 N/m.

Compare the characteristics of 4d orbitals and 3d orbitals and compared the following sentences. Check all that apply
charle [14.2K]

Answer :

<em>(b) 4d orbitals would be larger in size than 3d orbitals</em>

<em>(e) 4d orbitals would have more nodes than 3d orbitals</em>

Explanation :

As we move away from one orbital to another, the distance between nucleus and orbital increases. So, 4d orbitals would be far to the nucleus than 3d orbitals.

Hence, 4d orbitals would be larger in size than 3d orbitals.

Number of nodes is any orbital is n - 1 where, n is principal quantum number.

So, number of orbital in 4d is 3.

And number of orbital in 3d is 2.

So, options (b) and (e) are correct.
