Lower the resistance to sliding.
Answer:
a = 0.009 J
b = 0.19 m/s
c = 0.005 J and 0.004 J
Explanation:
Given that
Mass of the object, m = 0.5 kg
Spring constant of the spring, k = 20 N/m
Amplitude of the motion, A = 3 cm = 0.03 m
Displacement of the system, x = 2 cm = 0.02 m
a
Total energy of the system, E =
E = 1/2 * k * A²
E = 1/2 * 20 * 0.03²
E = 10 * 0.0009
E = 0.009 J
b
E = 1/2 * k * A² = 1/2 * m * v(max)²
1/2 * m * v(max)² = 0.009
1/2 * 0.5 * v(max)² = 0.009
v(max)² = 0.009 * 2/0.5
v(max)² = 0.018 / 0.5
v(max)² = 0.036
v(max) = √0.036
v(max) = 0.19 m/s
c
V = ±√[(k/m) * (A² - x²)]
V = ±√[(20/0.5) * (0.03² - 0.02²)]
V = ±√(40 * 0.0005)
V = ±√0.02
V = ±0.141 m/s
Kinetic Energy, K = 1/2 * m * v²
K = 1/2 * 0.5 * 0.141²
K = 1/4 * 0.02
K = 0.005 J
Potential Energy, P = 1/2 * k * x²
P = 1/2 * 20 * 0.02²
P = 10 * 0.0004
P = 0.004 J
Answer:
According to the travellers, Alpha Centauri is <em>c) very slightly less than 4 light-years</em>
<em></em>
Explanation:
For a stationary observer, Alpha Centauri is 4 light-years away but for an observer who is travelling close to the speed of light, Alpha Centauri is <em>very slightly less than 4 light-years. </em>The following expression explains why:
v = d / t
where
- v is the speed of the spaceship
- d is the distance
- t is the time
Therefore,
d = v × t
d = (0.999 c)(4 light-years)
d = 3.996 light-years
This distance is<em> very slightly less than 4 light-years. </em>
The ideal mechanical advantage (IMA) can be determined by the following equation:
IMA= Input distance/Output distance
The Input distance and Output distance are:
Input distance=220 meters
Output distance=110 meters
When you substitute in the equation of the ideal mechanical advantage (IMA), you obtain:
IMA= Input distance/Output distance
IMA= 220 meters/110 meters
IMA=2
Answer:
The radius of the curve that Car 2 travels on is 380 meters.
Explanation:
Speed of car 1, 
Radius of the circular arc, 
Car 2 has twice the speed of Car 1, 
We need to find the radius of the curve that Car 2 travels on have to be in order for both cars to have the same centripetal acceleration. We know that the centripetal acceleration is given by :
According to given condition,
On solving we get :
So, the radius of the curve that Car 2 travels on is 380 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.
