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 body initially at rest, starts moving with a constant acceleration of 2ms-2 .calculate the velocity acquired and the distance
Marta_Voda [28]

a) 10 m/s

b) 25 m

Explanation:

a)

The body is moving with a constant acceleration, therefore we can solve the problem by using the following suvat equation:

v=u+at

where

u is the initial velocity

v is the final velocity

a is the acceleration

t is the time

For the body in this problem:

u = 0 (the body starts from rest)

a=2 m/s^2 is the acceleration

t = 5 s is the time

So, the final velocity is

v=0+(2)(5)=10 m/s

b)

In this second part, we want to calculate the distance travelled by the body.

We can do it by using another suvat equation:

v^2-u^2=2as

where

u is the initial velocity

v is the final velocity

a is the acceleration

s is the distance travelled

Here we have

u = 0 (the body starts from rest)

a=2 m/s^2 is the acceleration

v = 10 m/s is the final velocity

Solving for s,

s=\frac{10^2-0^2}{2(2)}=25 m

Five properties of magnet​
Olenka [21]

Answer:

1. The magnet is magnetic and can attract iron articles.

2. The magnet has magnetic poles. Each magnet has two kinds of poles: N pole and S pole. They are in pairs.

3. Temporary magnet and permanent magnet: when the ferromagnetic material is magnetized, it is easy to lose the magnetic property, which is called temporary magnet (for example: iron); when the ferromagnetic material is magnetized, it is not easy to lose the magnetic property, which is called permanent magnet (for example: steel).

4. When two magnets are close to each other, the same poles will repel and push away from each other, and the different poles will attract and stick to each other. Therefore: the same pole repels each other, the different pole attracts each other.

5. The attraction of a magnetic object is called magnetism. An object is surrounded by a magnetic material. The area affected by the magnetic force is called the magnetic field.

What phenomenon causes the fuzzy image? What kind of lens is used to correct this, and how is it corrected?
mamaluj [8]
In optics, chromatic aberration (abbreviated CA; also called chromatic distortion and spherochromatism) is an effect resulting from dispersion in which there is a failure of a lens to focus all colors to the same convergence point.[1] It occurs because lenses have different refractive indices for different wavelengths of light. The refractive index of transparent materials decreases with increasing wavelength in degrees unique to each.
