A small ball is attached to one end of a spring that has an unstrained length of 0.169 m. The spring is held by the other end, a

Nadya [2.5K]

The ball moves around in circular motion. The centripetal force keeping it in circular motion is given by:

F = mv²/r

F = centripetal force, m = mass of ball, v = velocity of ball, r = radius of motion

The force the spring exerts on the ball is given by:

F = kΔx

F = spring force, k = spring constant, Δx = change of spring length

The spring provides the centripetal force that keeps the ball in circular motion, so set the spring force equal to the centripetal force:

kΔx = mv²/r

Let's do some algebra:

m/k = rΔx/v²

Now if we attach the same spring to the ceiling with the ball still fixed to one end and let the ball hang in static equilibrium, the spring force would balance the ball's weight:

kΔx' = mg

k = spring constant, Δx' = new change in spring length, m = mass, g = gravitational acceleration

Let's do some more algebra:

Δx' = gm/k

Substitute m/k with our previous result, rΔx/v²:

Δx' = grΔx/v²

Given values:

g = 9.81m/s²

r = 0.169m + 0.0131m = 0.1821m

Δx = 0.0131m

v = 3.15m/s

Plug in the values and solve for Δx':

Δx' = 9.81(0.1821)(0.0131)/3.15²

Δx' = 0.0024m

Do electric lights in some electronic devices change electricity into motion

Phantasy [73]

Answer:

A generator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy, while a motor does the opposite - it converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. Both devices work because of electromagnetic induction, which is when a voltage is induced by a changing magnetic field....

Challenge! A marshmallow is dropped from a 5-meter high pedestrian bridge and 0.83 seconds later, it lands right on the head of

WINSTONCH [101]

a₀). You know ...
       -- the object is dropped from 5 meters
   above the pavement;
         -- it falls for 0.83 second.

a₁). Without being told, you assume ...
   -- there is no air anyplace where the marshmallow travels,
   so it free-falls, with no air resistance;
   -- the event is happening on Earth,
where the acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s² .

b). You need to find how much LESS than 5 meters
   the marshmallow falls in 0.83 second.

c). You can use whatever equations you like.
   I'm going to use the equation for the distance an object falls in
   ' T ' seconds, in a place where the acceleration of gravity is ' G '.

d). To see how this all goes together for the solution, keep reading:

The distance that an object falls in ' T ' seconds
when it's dropped from rest is

   (1/2 G) x (T²) .

On Earth, ' G ' is roughly 9.81 m/s², so in 0.83 seconds,
such an object would fall

   (9.81 / 2) x (0.83)² = 3.38 meters .

It dropped from 5 meters above the pavement, but it
only fell 3.38 meters before something stopped it.
So it must have hit something that was

   (5.00 - 3.38) = 1.62 meters

above the pavement. That's where the head of the unsuspecting
person was as he innocently walked by and got clobbered.
