A 4.00 kg block is suspended from a spring with k 500 N/m. A 50.0 g bullet is fired into the block from directly below with a sp
Yanka [14]

Answer:

a. A = 0.1656 m

b. % E = 1.219

Explanation:

Given

mB = 4.0 kg , mb = 50.0 g = 0.05 kg , u₁ = 150  m/s , k = 500 N / m

a.

To find the amplitude of the resulting SHM using conserver energy

ΔKe + ΔUg + ΔUs = 0

¹/₂ * m * v²  -  ¹/₂ * k * A² = 0

A = √ mB * vₓ² / k

vₓ = mb * u₁ / mb + mB

vₓ = 0.05 kg * 150 m / s / [0.050 + 4.0 ] kg = 1.8518

A = √ 4.0 kg * (1.852 m/s)²   /   (500 N / m)

A = 0.1656 m

b.

The percentage of kinetic energy

%E = Es / Ek

Es = ¹/₂ * k * A² = 500 N / m * 0.1656²m = 13.72 N*0.5

Ek = ¹/₂ * mb * v² = 0.05 kg * 150² m/s = 1125 N

% E = 13.72 / 1125 = 0.01219 *100

% E = 1.219

A tennis ball connected to a string is spun around in a vertical, circular path at a uniform speed. The ball has a mass m = 0.15
Oksanka [162]

1) 5.5 N

When the ball is at the bottom of the circle, the equation of the forces is the following:

T-mg = m\frac{v^2}{R}

where

T is the tension in the string, which points upward

mg is the weight of the string, which points downward, with

m = 0.158 kg being the mass of the ball

g = 9.8 m/s^2 being the acceleration due to gravity

m \frac{v^2}{R} is the centripetal force, which points upward, with

v = 5.22 m/s being the speed of the ball

R = 1.1 m being the radius of the circular trajectory

Substituting numbers and re-arranging the formula, we find T:

T=mg+m\frac{v^2}{R}=(0.158 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)+(0.158 kg)\frac{(5.22 m/s)^2}{1.1 m}=5.5 N

2) 3.9 N

When the ball is at the side of the circle, the only force acting along the centripetal direction is the tension in the string, therefore the equation of the forces becomes:

T=m\frac{v^2}{R}

And by substituting the numerical values, we find

T=(0.158 kg)\frac{(5.22 m/s)^2}{1.1 m}=3.9 N

3) 2.3 N

When the ball is at the top of the circle, both the tension and the weight of the ball point downward, in the same direction of the centripetal force. Therefore, the equation of the force is

T+mg=m\frac{v^2}{R}

And substituting the numerical values and re-arranging it, we find

T=m\frac{v^2}{R}-mg=(0.158 kg)\frac{5.22 m/s)^2}{1.1 m}-(0.158 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=2.3 N

4) 3.3 m/s

The minimum velocity for the ball to keep the circular motion occurs when the centripetal force is equal to the weight of the ball, and the tension in the string is zero; therefore:

T=0\\mg = m\frac{v^2}{R}

and re-arranging the equation, we find

v=\sqrt{gR}=\sqrt{(9.8 m/s^2)(1.1 m)}=3.3 m/s

The de Broglie wave is produced only by sub atomic particle and photon. O True O False
Alina [70]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Matter can be in the form of a particle or a wave. This is known as the dual nature of matter. This concept was proposed by Louis de Broglie and was named after him. This phenomenon has been observed for all the elementary particles.

The de Broglie wavelength is given by

\lambda=\frac{h}{p}=\frac{h}{mv}

Where

h = Planck's constant

p = Particles momentum

m = Mass of particle

v = Velocity of particle

a container of water is knocked off a 10.0 meter high ledge with a horizontal velocity of 1.00 meters/second. calculate the time
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

1.43 s

Explanation:

The time it takes for the container to reach the ground is determined only by the vertical motion of the container, which is a free-fall motion, so a uniformly accelerated motion with a constant acceleration of g=9.8 m/s^2 towards the ground.

The vertical distance covered by an object in free fall is given by

S=ut + \frac{1}{2}at^2

where

u = 0 is the initial vertical speed

t is the time

a= g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration

since u=0, it can be rewritten as

S=\frac{1}{2}gt^2

And substituting S=10.0 m, we can solve for t, to find the duration of the fall:

t=\sqrt{\frac{2S}{g}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(10.0 m)}{9.8 m/s^2}}=1.43 s
