Any group of 2 or more forces is balanced if the sum of all of their strengths and directions adds up to zero. Here's an example that I just made up:. Take 50 ropes. Tie one end of every rope all together into one big fat knot, and then have a tug of war in 50 different directions. Get 10 football players and 40 cheerleaders to each take the end of one rope, then everybody spread out and start pulling. It's possible that if everybody stood in just the right place, they might all cancel each other out, and the big knot in the center might just hang there and not move at all ... just as if there was NO FORCE on it at all. If that happened, we would know that the group of 50 forces acting on the knot is "balanced".

A mass is oscillating with amplitude A at the end of a spring.
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

A) x=\pm \frac{A}{2\sqrt{2}}

The total energy of the system is equal to the maximum elastic potential energy, that is achieved when the displacement is equal to the amplitude (x=A):

E=\frac{1}{2}kA^2 (1)

where k is the spring constant.

The total energy, which is conserved, at any other point of the motion is the sum of elastic potential energy and kinetic energy:

E=U+K=\frac{1}{2}kx^2+\frac{1}{2}mv^2 (2)

where x is the displacement, m the mass, and v the speed.

We want to know the displacement x at which the elastic potential energy is 1/3 of the kinetic energy:

U=\frac{1}{3}K

Using (2) we can rewrite this as

U=\frac{1}{3}(E-U)=\frac{1}{3}E-\frac{1}{3}U\\U=\frac{E}{4}

And using (1), we find

U=\frac{E}{4}=\frac{\frac{1}{2}kA^2}{4}=\frac{1}{8}kA^2

Substituting U=\frac{1}{2}kx^2 into the last equation, we find the value of x:

\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{8}kA^2\\x=\pm \frac{A}{2\sqrt{2}}

B) x=\pm \frac{3}{\sqrt{10}}A

In this case, the kinetic energy is 1/10 of the total energy:

K=\frac{1}{10}E

Since we have

K=E-U

we can write

E-U=\frac{1}{10}E\\U=\frac{9}{10}E

And so we find:

\frac{1}{2}kx^2 = \frac{9}{10}(\frac{1}{2}kA^2)=\frac{9}{20}kA^2\\x^2 = \frac{9}{10}A^2\\x=\pm \frac{3}{\sqrt{10}}A

patriot [66]

Answer:

1.1299 x 10^-8   second    

Explanation:

Period = 1 / f = 1 / (8.85 * 10^7) = 1.1299 x 01^-8  sec

Use the table below to calculate the acceleration of the object. Time (s) 0.0 3.0 6.0 9.0 Velocity (m/s) 0.0 1.2 2.4 3.6
antiseptic1488 [7]

explanation

a=average velocity/average time

average velocity=0.0+1.2+2.4+3.6/4

average velocity=7.2/4

average velocity=1.8 m/s

average time=0.0+3.0+6.0+9.0/4

average time=18/4

average time=4.5 s

a= average velocity/average time

a=1.8/4.5

a=0.4 m/s²

If voltage , V = 100 + 6 volt and current , I = 10+ 0.2 A , then find <br> percentage error in R.
Akimi4 [234]

Explanation:

As we know, resistance is the ratio of voltage used and current flowing through the circuit. So,

<h3>R = V/I</h3>

By error calculation

<h3>∆R/R = [(∆V/V)100] + [(∆I/I)100]</h3>

V = 100 ± 6% V

I = 10 ± 0.2% A

∆R/R= (5/100)×100 + (0.2/10)×100

∆R/R=5+2=7%

<h2>So, percentage error in resistance (R) = ± 7%.</h2>

What is kinematics?? lover kha gyi?​
marta [7]

Explanation:

Kinematics is the study of motion of a system of bodies without directly considering the forces or potential fields affecting the motion. In other words, kinematics examines how the momentum and energy are shared among interacting bodies.....
