An ideal spring is mounted horizontally, with its left end fixed. The force constant of the spring is 170 N/m. A glider of mass

1.2 kg is attached to the free end of the spring. The glider is pulled toward the right along a frictionless air track, and then released. Now the glider is moving in simple harmonic motion with amplitude 0.045 m. The motion is horizontal (one-dimensional). Suddenly, Slimer* holding an apple flies in and approaches the glider. Slimer drops the apple vertically onto the glider from a very small height. The apple sticks to the glider. The mass of the apple is 0.48 kg.
Required:
Calculate the new amplitude of the motion of the glider with apple if the apple is dropped at the moment when the glider passes through its equilibrium position, x = 0 m.

Answer:

Explanation:

First of all we shall find the velocity at equilibrium point of mass 1.2 kg .

It will be ω A , where ω is angular frequency and A is amplitude .

ω = √ ( k / m )

= √ (170 / 1.2 )

= 11.90 rad /s

amplitude A = .045 m

velocity at middle point ( maximum velocity ) = 11.9 x .045 m /s

= .5355 m /s

At middle point , no force acts so we can apply law of conservation of momentum

m₁ v₁ = ( m₁ + m₂ ) v

1.2 x .5355 = ( 1.2 + .48 ) x v

v = .3825 m /s

= 38.25 cm /s

Let new amplitude be A₁ .

1/2 m v² = 1/2 k A₁²

( 1.2 + .48 ) x v² = 170 x A₁²

( 1.2 + .48 ) x .3825² = 170 x A₁²

A₁ = .0379 m

New amplitude is .0379 m

tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

0m/s²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial velocity of the boat = 8m/s

Final velocity  = 8m/s

Time taken  = 4s

Unknown:

Acceleration of the boat = ?

Solution:

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time.

It is mathematically expressed as;

        A = \frac{v - u}{t}

A is the acceleration

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

t is the time taken

    Insert the parameters and solve;

  A = \frac{8-8}{4}   = 0m/s²

A projectile is fired with an initial velocity of 120.0 meters per second at an angle, θ above the horizontal. If the projectile
k0ka [10]

Answer:

θ = 62.72°

Explanation:

The projectile describes a parabolic path:

The parabolic movement results from the composition of a uniform rectilinear motion (horizontal ) and a uniformly accelerated rectilinear motion of upward or downward motion (vertical ).

The equation of uniform rectilinear motion (horizontal ) for the x axis is :

x = x₀+ vx*t   Formula (1)

vx = v₀x

Where:  

x: horizontal position in meters (m)

x₀: initial horizontal position in meters (m)

t : time (s)

vx: horizontal velocity  in m/s

v₀x: Initial speed in x  in m/s

The equations of uniformly accelerated rectilinear motion of upward (vertical ) for the y axis  are:

y= y₀+(v₀y)*t - (1/2)*g*t² Formula (2)

vfy= v₀y -gt Formula (3)

Where:  

y: vertical position in meters (m)  

y₀ : initial vertical position in meters (m)  

t : time in seconds (s)

v₀y: initial  vertical velocity  in m/s  

vfy: final  vertical velocity  in m/s  

g: acceleration due to gravity in m/s²

Data

v₀ = 120 m/s  , at an angle  θ above the horizontal

v₀x= 55 m/s

x-y components of the initial  velocity ( v₀)

v₀x = v₀*cosθ Equation (1)

v₀y = v₀*sinθ   Equation (2)

Calculating of the angle θ

We replace data in the  Equation (1)

55 =  120*cosθ

cosθ = 55 / 120

\theta = cos^{-1}(  \frac{55}{120} )

θ = 62.72°
