A 2.85 kg fish is attached to the lower end of a vertical spring that has negligible mass and force constant 875 N/m. The spring
Westkost [7]

Answer:

A) V = 0.324 m/s

B) V = 0.56 m/s

Explanation:

A) Change in gravitational potential energy = mass * gravity * height change

Change in G.P.E = 2.85 * 9.81 * 0.058 = 1.6215 J

Energy transferred to spring = 0.5 * k * x^2

Here k = 875 N/m

And x = 0.058 m

Thus energy transferred to spring = 1.47175 J

The G.P.E is converted to spring potential energy and kinetic energy as it moves down. So the difference in energy is accounted by kinetic energy as follows:

Kinetic energy = G.P.E - Spring P.E

Kinetic energy = 1.6215 - 1.47175 = 0.14975 J

We can now find the speed using this kinetic energy:

Kinetic energy = 0.14975

0.5 * mass * velocity^2 = 0.14975

0.5 * 2.85 * V^2 = 0.14975

V = 0.324 m/s

B) The fish accelerates because the force on it are unbalanced. These forces are the weight of the fish, and the force of the spring stopping it.

As long as the weight of the fish is more than the upward force of the spring, the fish will continue to accelerate. Using this knowledge, we can deduce that the speed is maximum when the weight and spring force are equal. Thus we set them equal and find out the displacement first:

Weight = spring force

2.85 * 9.81 = 875 * Displacement

Displacement = 0.03195 m

Similarly as (A):

Change in G.P.E = 2.85 * 9.81 * 0.03195 = 0.8933 J

Spring P.E = 0.5 * 875 * 0.03195^2 = 0.4466 J

Kinetic energy = 0.8933 - 0.4466 = 0.4467 J

0.5 * mass * V^2 = 0.4467

0.5 * 2.85 * V^2 = 0.4467

V = 0.56 m/s

A solar-powered car is traveling at constant speed around a circular track. what happens to the centripetal acceleration of the
anyanavicka [17]
Centripetal acceleration is the acceleration of an object acted upon a force that pulls it toward the center of origin. For constant speed, there is no acceleration, since acceleration is defined as the difference of velocities at an elapsed time. Hence, if speed doubles, then the centripetal acceleration would increase as well.
