Figure 10.20 in your textbook shows an energy diagram for a system with total energy E1. Suppose the system's total energy is E2

= (1/3)E1. In what ways could the particle move?
Select all that apply.

a.) It could remain at rest at x3.
b.) It could oscillate between x1 and x5.
c.) It could undergo small oscillations around x2.
d.) It could undergo small oscillations around x3.
e.) It could undergo small oscillations around x4.

Please explain why, I have an exam coming up and want to understand the concept.

The particles can undergo small oscillations around x₂.

The given parameters;

  • <em>initial energy of the particles = E₁</em>
  • <em>final energy of the particles, E₂ = 0.33E₁</em>

The movement of the particles depends on the kinetic energy of the particles.

When kinetic energy of the particles is 100%, the particles can oscillate from x₁ to x₅.

However, when the total energy of this particles is reduced to one-third (¹/₃) or 33% of the initial energy of the particle, the oscillation of the particles will be reduced.

  • The maximum position the particle can oscillate is x₅
  • The half position the particles can oscillate is x₃

Since 33% is less than the half of the energy of the particle, the particle will oscillate between x₁ and x₂.

Thus, we can conclude that the particles can undergo small oscillations around x₂.

Two equal forces are applied to a door. The first force is applied at the midpoint of the door; the second force is applied at t
TEA [102]

Answer: The second force applied to the doorknob

Explanation:

The formulae for torque is simple the product of the applied force and the perpendicular distance.

The greater the perpendicular force, the greater the torque assuming a constant value of force.

Applying the force at the doorknob gives for a greater distance between the force and the turning point compared to applying the force at the midpoint of the door ( which is at a shorter distance)

Which of the following quantities provide enough information to calculate the tension in a string of mass per unit length μ that
Bad White [126]

Answer:

A. the wave speed v and Wavelength

Explanation:

Given that

Mass density per unit length=μ

Frequency = f

The velocity V given as

\mu=\dfrac{T}{V^2}\ kg/m

V=\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{\mu}}

T=Tension

V=Velocity

V= f λ

λ=Wavelength

Therefore to find the tension ,only wavelength and speed is required.

The answer is A.

A 1.1-kg object is suspended from a vertical spring whose spring constant is 120 N/m. (a) Find the amount by which the spring is
andriy [413]

Answer:

e = 0.0898m

v = 2.07m/s

Explanation:

a) According to Hooke's law

F = ke

e is the extension

k is the spring constant

Since F = mg

mg = ke

e = mg/k

Substitute the given value

e = 1.1(9.8)/120

e = 10.78/120

e = 0.0898m

Hence it is stretched by 0.0898m from its unstrained length

2) Total Energy = PE+KE+Elastic potential

Total Energy = mgh +1/2mv²+1/2ke²

Substitute the given value

5.0= 1.1(9.8)(0.2)+1/2(1.1)v²+1/2(120)(0.0898)²

Solve for v

5.0 = 2.156+0.55v²+0.48338

5.0-2.156-0.48338= 0.55v²

2.36 =0.55v²

v² = 2.36/0.55

v² = 4.29

v ,= √4.29

v = 2.07m/s

Hence the required velocity is 9.28m/s

Under which condition would time periods of daylight and darkness be equal everywhere on Earth all year? A. if Earth revolved ar
Marizza181 [45]
The correct answer is
<span>B. if Earth rotated on an axis that was not tilted with respect to Earth's orbit 

In fact, the fact that Earth's axis is tilted is the reason why the durations of day and night are different in every part of the Earth. If the axis was not tilted, we would have exactly 12 hours of day and night in every point of the Earth, for the whole year.</span>
