Hi there!

Acceleration = change in velocity / change in time = Δv/Δt

Thus:

a = (75 - 15)/4 = 60/4 = 15 mi/hr²

Equation you need to use is a=Vf-Vi/t
Vi=initial velocity
Vf= Final Velocity
Write out the variables and their numbers
Vf=75 mi/hr Vi=15 mi/hr t=4 seconds
Plug it all in
75-15/4
60/4
a=15 mi/hr^2

You observe that a mass suspended by a spring takes 0.25 s to make a full oscillation. What is the frequency of this oscillation
Katarina [22]

Answer:

Frequency of oscillation, f = 4 Hz

time period, T = 0.25 s

Angular frequency, \omega = 25.13 rad/s

Given:

Time taken to make one oscillation, T = 0.25 s

Solution:

Frequency, f of oscillation is given as the reciprocal of time taken for one oscillation and is given by:

f = \frac{1}{T}

f = \frac{1}{0.25}

Frequency of oscillation, f = 4 Hz

The period of oscillation can be defined as the time taken by the suspended mass for completion of one oscillation.

Therefore, time period, T = 0.25 s

Angular frequency of oscillation is given by:

\omega = 2\pi \times f

\omega = 2\pi \times 4

\omega = 25.13 rad/s

On your first trip to Planet X you happen to take along a 180 g mass, a 40-cm-long spring, a meter stick, and a stopwatch. You'r
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

g_x = 3.0 m / s^2

Explanation:

Given:

- Change in length of spring [email protected] = 22.6 cm

- Time taken for 11 oscillations t = 19.0 s

Find:

- The value of gravitational free fall g_x at plant X:

Solution:

- We will assume a simple harmonic motion of the mass for which Time is:

                                 T  = 2*pi*sqrt(k / m )    ...... 1

- Sum of forces in vertical direction @equilibrium is zero:

                                 F_net = k*x - m*g_x = 0

                                 (k / m) = (g_x / x)    .... 2

- substitute Eq 2 into Eq 1:

                                  2*pi / T = sqrt ( g_x / x )

                                   g_x = (2*pi / T )^2 * x

- Evaluate g_x:

                                  g_x = (2*pi / (19 / 11) )^2 * 0.226

                                  g_x = 3.0 m / s^2

Mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic and potential energy in an object. It is energy in an object due to its motion, position
german
Mechanical energy is made when something is moved. The energy that is moving is kinetic. And potential energy is stored energy. Mechanical energy can be used to store energy and to cause moving energy. For instance: a slingshot. Pulling back the band creates potential energy and releasing it creates kinetic energy.
