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.

murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

T = 0.0088 m²/s

Explanation:

given,

initial piezometric elevation = 12.5 m

thickness of aquifer = 14 m

discharge = 28.24 L/s = 0.02824 m³/s

we know                              

k = \dfrac{qln(\dfrac{R_2}{R_1})}{2\pi D(H_2-H_1)}

k = \dfrac{0.02824 \times ln(\dfrac{75}{25})}{2\pi \times 14 (11.45-10.89)}                                                                        

k = 0.629 mm/sec

Transmissibilty

T = k × H                          

T = 0.629 × 14 × 10⁻³

T = 0.0088 m²/s

Lana71 [14]

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

The force of attraction existent between the proton and neutron in the nucleus of an atom is extremely large. When the nucleus splits there is a large release of heat and energy larger than the force present in any of the other options listed.
