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

As the temperature rises the solubility of all gases in water will _________
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

Decreases.

Explanation:

The rise in temperature of gas increases the kinetic energy of its molecules and they rush out of water instead of dissolving similarly as air rushes out of boiling water in form of bubbles

A. A land speed car can decelerate at 9.8m/s. How long does it take the car to come to a complete stop from a run of 885 km/hr (
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

A. 25.08 s

B. 3082.53 m

C. 3×10⁵ m/s²

Explanation:

A. Determination of the time.

This can be obtained as illustrated below:

Acceleration (a) = –9.8 m/s²

Initial velocity (u) = 245.8 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 0 m/s

Time (t) =.?

v = u + at

0 = 245.8 + (–9.8 × t)

0 = 245.8 – 9.8t

Collect like terms

0 – 245.8 = – 9.8t

– 245.8 = – 9.8t

Divide both side by –9.8

t = –245.8 / –9.8

t = 25.08 s

Therefore, it will take 25.08 s for the car to come to a complete stop.

B. Determination of the distance travelled by the car.

Acceleration (a) = –9.8 m/s²

Initial velocity (u) = 245.8 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 0 m/s

Distance (s) =?

v² = u² + 2as

0² = 245.8² + (2 × –9.8 × s)

0 = 60417.64 – 19.6s

Collect like terms

0 – 60417.64 = – 19.6s

– 60417.64 = – 19.6s

Divide both side by –19.6

s = –60417.64 / –19.6

s = 3082.53 m

Thus, the car travelled a distance of 3082.53 m before stopping completely.

C. Determination of the acceleration of the object.

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 600 m/s

Distance (s) = 0.6 m

Acceleration (a) =?

v² = u² + 2as

600² = 0² + (2 × a × 0.6)

360000 = 0 + 1.2a

360000 = 1.2a

Divide both side by 1.2

a = 360000 / 1.2

a = 300000 = 3×10⁵ m/s²

A 19.12 g mixture of Ca(NO3)2 and KCl is dissolved in 149 g of water. The freezing point of the solution was measured as −5.77 ∘
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

The mass percentage of calcium nitrate is 31.23%.

Explanation:

Let the the mass of calcium nitrate be x and mass of potassium chloride be y.

Total mass of  mixture = 19.12 g

x + y = 19.12 g..(1)

Mass of solvent = 149 g = 0.149 kg

Freezing point of the solution,T_f = -5.77 °C

Molal freezing constant of water = 1.86 °C/m =1.86 °C/(mol/kg)

The van't Hoff factor contribution by calcium nitrate is 3 and by potassium chloride is 2.So:

i = 3

i' = 2

Freezing point of water = T = 0°C

\Delta T_f=T-T_f=0^oC-(-5.77^oC)=5.77^oC

\Delta T_f=i\times K_f\times m

Molality=m(mol/kg)=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{mass of solvent in kg}}

5.77^oC=1.86 ^oC/(mol/kg)\times (\frac{ i\times x}{164 g/mol\times 0.149 kg}+\frac{i'\times y}{74.5 g/mol0.149 kg})

On solving we get:

\frac{3x}{164 g/mol}+\frac{2x}{74.5 g/mol}=0.4622 mol....(2)

Solving equation (1)(2) for x and y:

x =5.973 g

y = 13.147 g

Mass percent of Ca(NO_3)_2 in the mixture:

\frac{x}{19.21 g}\times 100=\frac{5.973 g}{19.12 g}=31.23\%

The mass percentage of calcium nitrate is 31.23%.

Why are peer reviews important?
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

Peer reviews are important because individuals with similar background knowledge are used to review work to detect inaccuracies or deficiencies in the work.

Explanation:

Those individuals with similar educational and work background knowledge can more accurately review work since they have the required knowledge base for the subject.
