A fish scale, consisting of a spring with spring constant k=200N/m, is hung vertically from the ceiling. A 2.6 kg fish is attach

ed to the end of the unstretched spring and then released. The fish moves downward until the spring is fully stretched, then starts to move back up as the spring begins to contract.
What is the maximum distance through which the fish falls?

Newton's second law

  • F=ma

Find weight of fish

  • F=2.6(10)=26N

Now

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow F=-kx

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow k=\dfrac{-F}{x}

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow x=\dfrac{-F}{k}[)tex]Keep it positive[tex]\\ \rm\Rrightarrow x=\dfrac{26}{200}

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow x=0.13m

Answer:

Explanation:

The fish is initially at rest and it is also at rest when the spring is fully stretched at the maximum distance.

Change in gravity potential energy = change in spring potential energy

mgh = 1/2kh^2

Assume gravity constant g is 10m/s^2

2.6*10*h = 1/2*200*h^2

100h^2 - 26h = 0

2h(50h - 13) = 0

h = 0 or h = 13/50 = 0.65m

h = 0 is before the spring is stretched

So the maximum distance is 0.65m.

If a baseball has a zero velocity at some instant, is the acceleration of the baseball necessarily zero at that time? Explain -
ipn [44]

Answer:

No, not necessarily

Explanation:

If an object is moving with an acceleration that causes its speed to be reduced, there will be a moment in which it reaches v = 0, but this doesn't necessarily mean that the acceleration isn't acting anymore. If the object continues its movement with the same acceleration, it's velocity will become negative.

An example of an object that has zero velocity but non-zero acceleration:

If you throw an object in the air with a certain velocity, it will move vertically, reducing its velocity in a 9,8 m/s^{2} rate (which is the acceleration caused by gravity). At a certain point, the object will reach its maximum height, and will start to fall. In the exact moment that it reaches the maximum height, before it starts falling, its velocity is zero, but gravity is still acting on the object (this is the reason why it starts falling instead of just being stopped at that point). Therefore, at that point, the object has zero velocity but an acceleration of 9,8 m/s^{2}.

An object travels at a speed of 7500 cm/sec . how far will it travel in kilometers in one day
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

6480 km

Explanation:

The speed of the object is

v = 7500 cm/sec

We need to convert centimetres into kilometers and seconds into days. We have:

1 cm = 1\cdot 10^5 km

1 s = \frac{1}{60\cdot 60 \cdot 24}d

Using these conversion factors, we find:

v=7500 \frac{cm}{s} \cdot 1\cdot 10^{-5} \frac{km}{cm}\cdot (24)(60)(60) \frac{s}{d}=6480 km
