Two 51 g blocks are held 30 cm above a table. As shown in the figure, one of them is just touching a 30-long spring. The blocks

vivado [14]

The concept of this question can be well understood by listing out the parameters given.

The mass of the block = 51 g = 51 × 10⁻³ kg
The distance of the block from the table = 30 cm
Length of the spring = 30 cm

The purpose is to determine the spring constant.

Let us assume that the two blocks are Block A and Block B.

At point A on block A, the initial velocity on the block is zero

i.e. u = 0

We want to determine the time it requires for Block A to reach the table. The can be achieved by using the second equation of motion which can be expressed by using the formula.

$\mathsf{S = ut + \dfrac{1}{2}gt^2}$

From the above formula,

The distance (S) = 30 cm; we need to convert the unit to meter (m).

Since 1 cm = 0.01 m
Then, 30cm = 0.3 m

The acceleration (g) due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

∴

inputting the values into the equation above, we have;

$\mathsf{0.3 = (0)t + \dfrac{1}{2}*(9.80)*(t^2)}$

$\mathsf{0.3 = \dfrac{1}{2}*(9.80)*(t^2)}$

$\mathsf{0.3 =4.9*(t^2)}$

By dividing both sides by 4.9, we have:

$\mathsf{t^2 = \dfrac{0.3}{4.9}}$

$\mathsf{t^2 = 0.0612}$

$\mathsf{t = \sqrt{0.0612}}$

$\mathsf{t =0.247 \ seconds}$

However, block B comes to an instantaneous rest on point C. This is achieved by the dropping of the block on the spring. During this process, the spring is compressed and it bounces back to oscillate in that manner. The required time needed to get to this point C is half the period, this will eventually lead to the bouncing back of the block with another half of the period, thereby completing a movement of one period.

By applying the equation of the time period of a simple harmonic motion.

$\mathsf{T = 2 \pi \sqrt{\dfrac{m}{k}}}$

where the relation between time (t) and period (T) is:

$\mathsf{t = \dfrac{T}{2}}$

T = 2t

T = 2(0.247)

T = 0.494 seconds

$\mathsf{T = 2 \pi \sqrt{\dfrac{m}{k}}}$

By making the spring constant k the subject of the formula:

$\mathsf{\dfrac{T}{2 \pi } = \sqrt{ \dfrac{m}{k}}}$

$\Big(\dfrac{T}{2 \pi }\Big)^2 = { \dfrac{m}{k}$

$\dfrac{T^2}{(2 \pi)^2 }= { \dfrac{m}{k}$

$\mathsf{ T^2 *k = 2 \pi^2*m} \\ \\ \mathsf{ k = \dfrac{2 \pi^2*m}{T^2}}$

$\mathsf{ k =\Big( \dfrac{(2 \pi)^2*(51 \times 10^{-3})}{(0.494)^2} \Big) N/m}$

$\mathbf{ k =8.25 \ N/m}$

Therefore, we conclude that the spring constant as a result of instantaneous rest caused by the compression of the spring is 8.25 N/m.

Darya [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

When the number of slits increases, the intensity of fringes increases.

So, the fringes appear to be more bright.

As we know that the fringe width is inversely proportional to the number of slits, so as the number of slits increases, the fringe width decreases, hence the fringes are narrower, bright and close together.

A van has a weight of 4000 lb and center of gravity at Gv. It carries a fixed 900 lb load which has a center of gravity at Gl. I

natulia [17]

Answer:

x = 25 / μ [ ft]

Explanation:

To solve this exercise we can use Newton's second law.

Let's set a reference system where the x axis is parallel to the road

Y axis

N_B + N_A - W_van - W_load = 0

N_B + N_A = W_van + W_load

X axis

fr = ma

a = fr / m

the total mass is

m = (W_van + W_load) / g

the friction force has the expression

fr = μ N_{total}

fr = μy (W_van + W_load)

we substitute

a = μ (W_van + W_load) $\frac{g}{W_van + W_load}$

a = μ g

taking the acceleration let's use the kinematic relations where the final velocity is zero

v² = v₀² - 2 a x

0 = v₀² -2a x

x = $\frac{v_o^2}{2a}$

x = $\frac{v_o^2}{2 \mu g}$

x = $\frac{40^2}{2 \ 32 \ \mu}$

x = 25 / μ [ ft]
