1) Maximum

2) Maximum

Explanation:

The force acting on a mass on a spring is given by Hooke's law; in magnitude:

$F=kx$

where

F is the force

k is the spring constant

x is the displacement

Also we know from Newton's second law that we can write

$F=ma$

where

m is the mass

a is the acceleration

So we can write the equation as

$ma=kx$ (1)

From this relationship, we see that the acceleration is directly proportional to the displacement.

On the other hand, we know that the total mechanical energy of the system mass-spring is constant, and it is given by

$E=\frac{1}{2}kx^2+\frac{1}{2}mv^2=const.$ (2)

where the first term is the elastic potential energy while the second term is the kinetic energy, and where

v is the velocity of the mass

From eq. (2), it is clear that when displacement increases, velocity decreases, and vice-versa; however, from eq.(1) we also know that acceleration is proportional to the displacement.

Therefore this means that:

- When acceleration increases, velocity decreases

- When acceleration decreases, velocity increases

Therefore, the two answers here are:

- When the acceleration of a mass on a spring is zero, the velocity is at a maximum

When the velocity of a mass on a spring is zero, the acceleration is at a maximum

2(a) 10.2 N

2(b) 2.61 m/s²

3(a) 76.7°

3(b) 12.8 m/s

3(c) 3.41 s

3(d) 21.8 m/s

3(e) 18.5 m

4(a) 7.35 m/s²

4(b) 31.3 m/s²

4(c) 12.8 m/s²

Explanation:

1) Draw a free body diagram on the beam. There are five forces:

Weight force mg pulling down at the center of the beam,

Normal force Na pushing up at point A,

Friction force Na μa pushing left at point A,

Normal force Nb pushing perpendicular to the incline at point B,

Friction force Nb μb pushing up the incline at point B.

There are 3 unknown variables: Na, Nb, and θ. So we're going to need 3 equations.

Sum of forces in the x direction:

∑F = ma

-Na μa + Nb sin φ − Nb μb cos φ = 0

Nb (sin φ − μb cos φ) = Na μa

Nb / Na = μa / (sin φ − μb cos φ)

Sum of forces in the y direction:

∑F = ma

Na + Nb cos φ + Nb μb sin φ − mg = 0

Na = mg − Nb (cos φ + μb sin φ)

Sum of torques about point B:

∑τ = Iα

-mg (L/2) cos θ + Na L cos θ − Na μa L sin θ = 0

mg (L/2) cos θ = Na L cos θ − Na μa L sin θ

mg cos θ = 2 Na cos θ − 2 Na μa sin θ

mg = 2 Na − 2 Na μa tan θ

Substitute:

Na = 2 Na − 2 Na μa tan θ − Nb (cos φ + μb sin φ)

0 = Na − 2 Na μa tan θ − Nb (cos φ + μb sin φ)

Na (1 − 2 μa tan θ) = Nb (cos φ + μb sin φ)

1 − 2 μa tan θ = (Nb / Na) (cos φ + μb sin φ)

2 μa tan θ = 1 − (Nb / Na) (cos φ + μb sin φ)

Substitute again:

2 μa tan θ = 1 − [μa / (sin φ − μb cos φ)] (cos φ + μb sin φ)

tan θ = 1/(2 μa) − (cos φ + μb sin φ) / (2 sin φ − 2 μb cos φ)

a) If φ = 70°, then θ = 55.0°.

b) If φ = 90°, then θ = 58.3°.

2) Draw a free body diagram of each mass. For each mass, there are four forces. For mass A:

Weight force Ma g pulling down,

Normal force Na pushing perpendicular to the incline,

Friction force Na μa pushing parallel down the incline,

Tension force T pulling parallel up the incline.

For mass B:

Weight force Mb g pulling down,

Normal force Nb pushing perpendicular to the incline,

Friction force Nb μb pushing parallel up the incline,

Tension force T pulling up the incline.

There are four unknown variables: Na, Nb, T, and a. So we'll need four equations.

Sum of forces on A in the perpendicular direction:

∑F = ma

Na − Ma g cos θ = 0

Na = Ma g cos θ

Sum of forces on A up the incline:

∑F = ma

T − Na μa − Ma g sin θ = Ma a

T − Ma g cos θ μa − Ma g sin θ = Ma a

Sum of forces on B in the perpendicular direction:

∑F = ma

Nb − Mb g cos φ = 0

Nb = Mb g cos φ

Sum of forces on B down the incline:

∑F = ma

-T − Nb μb + Mb g sin φ = Mb a

-T − Mb g cos φ μb + Mb g sin φ = Mb a

Add together to eliminate T:

-Ma g cos θ μa − Ma g sin θ − Mb g cos φ μb + Mb g sin φ = Ma a + Mb a

g (-Ma (cos θ μa + sin θ) − Mb (cos φ μb − sin φ)) = (Ma + Mb) a

a = -g (Ma (cos θ μa + sin θ) + Mb (cos φ μb − sin φ)) / (Ma + Mb)

a = 2.61 m/s²

Plug into either equation to find T.

T = 10.2 N

3i) Given:

Δx = 3.7 m

vᵧ = 0 m/s

aₓ = 0 m/s²

aᵧ = -10 m/s²

t = 1.25 s

Find: v₀ₓ, v₀ᵧ

Δx = v₀ₓ t + ½ aₓ t²

3.7 m = v₀ₓ (1.25 s) + ½ (0 m/s²) (1.25 s)²

v₀ₓ = 2.96 m/s

vᵧ = aᵧt + v₀ᵧ

0 m/s = (-10 m/s²) (1.25 s) + v₀ᵧ

v₀ᵧ = 12.5 m/s

a) tan θ = v₀ᵧ / v₀ₓ

θ = 76.7°

b) v₀² = v₀ₓ² + v₀ᵧ²

v₀ = 12.8 m/s

3ii) Given:

Δx = D cos 57°

Δy = -D sin 57°

v₀ₓ = 2.96 m/s

v₀ᵧ = 12.5 m/s

aₓ = 0 m/s²

aᵧ = -10 m/s²

c) Find t

Δx = v₀ₓ t + ½ aₓ t²

D cos 57° = (2.96 m/s) t + ½ (0 m/s²) t²

D cos 57° = 2.96t

Δy = v₀ᵧ t + ½ aᵧ t²

-D sin 57° = (12.5 m/s) t + ½ (-10 m/s²) t²

-D sin 57° = 12.5t − 5t²

Divide:

-tan 57° = (12.5t − 5t²) / 2.96t

-4.558t = 12.5t − 5t²

0 = 17.058t − 5t²

t = 3.41 s

d) Find v

vₓ = aₓt + v₀ₓ

vₓ = (0 m/s²) (3.41 s) + 2.96 m/s

vₓ = 2.96 m/s

vᵧ = aᵧt + v₀ᵧ

vᵧ = (-10 m/s²) (3.41 s) + 12.5 m/s

vᵧ = -21.6 m/s

v² = vₓ² + vᵧ²

v = 21.8 m/s

e) Find D.

D cos 57° = 2.96t

D = 18.5 m

4) Given:

R = 90 m

d = 140 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

at = 0.7t m/s²

The distance to the opposite side of the curve is:

140 m + (90 m) (π/2) = 281 m

a) Find Δx and v if t = 10.5 s.

at = 0.7t

Integrate:

vt = 0.35t² + v₀

vt = 0.35 (10.5)²

vt = 38.6 m/s

Integrate again:

Δx = 0.1167 t³ + v₀ t + x₀

Δx = 0.1167 (10.5)³

Δx = 135 m

The car has not yet reached the curve, so the acceleration is purely tangential.

at = 0.7 (10.5)

at = 7.35 m/s²

b) Find Δx and v if t = 12.2 s.

at = 0.7t

Integrate:

vt = 0.35t² + v₀

vt = 0.35 (12.2)²

vt = 52.1 m/s

Integrate again:

Δx = 0.1167 t³ + v₀ t + x₀

Δx = 0.1167 (12.2)³

Δx = 212 m

The car is in the curve, so it has both tangential and centripetal accelerations.

at = 0.7 (12.2)

at = 8.54 m/s²

ac = v² / r

ac = (52.1 m/s)² / (90 m)

ac = 30.2 m/s²

a² = at² + ac²

a = 31.3 m/s²

c) Given:

Δx = 187 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

at = 3 m/s²

Find: v

v² = v₀² + 2aΔx

v² = (0 m/s)² + 2 (3 m/s²) (187 m)

v = 33.5 m/s

ac = v² / r

ac = (33.5 m/s)² / 90 m

ac = 12.5 m/s²

a² = at² + ac²

a = 12.8 m/s²

Our sun is a low mass main sequence star at the middle of its life cycle. Explain how the appearance of the sun will change as i

marshall27 [118]

<h2><u>Answer:</u></h2>

Accordingly, when our Sun comes up short on hydrogen fuel, it will grow to end up a red monster, puff off its external layers, and after that settle down as a minimal white small star, at that point gradually chilling off for trillions of years.

All incredible, in the long run — in around 5 billion years — our sun will, as well. When its supply of hydrogen is depleted, the last, sensational phases of its life will unfurl, as our host star extends to wind up a red goliath and afterward shreds its body to consolidate into a white smaller person

Carbon-14 is used to determine the time an organism was living. The amount of carbon-14 an organism has is constant with the atm

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

The age of the organism is approximately 11460 years.

Explanation:

The amount of carbon-14 decays exponentially in time and is defined by the following equation:

$\frac{n(t)}{n_{o}} = e^{-\frac{t}{\tau} }$ (1)

Where:

$n_{o}$ - Initial amount of carbon-14.

$n(t)$ - Current amount of carbon-14.

$t$ - Time, measured in years.

$\tau$ - Time constant, measured in years.

Then, we clear the time within the formula:

$t = -\tau \cdot \ln \frac{n(t)}{n_{o}}$ (2)

In addition, time constant can be calculated by means of half-life of carbon-14 ( $t_{1/2}$ ), measured in years:

$\tau = \frac{t_{1/2}}{\ln 2}$

If we know that $\frac{n(t)}{n_{o}} = 0.25$ and $t_{1/2} = 5730\,yr$ , then the age of the organism is:

$\tau = \frac{5730\,yr}{\ln 2}$

$\tau \approx 8266.643\,yr$

$t = -(8266.643\,yr)\cdot \ln 0.25$

$t \approx 11460.001\,yr$

The age of the organism is approximately 11460 years.

Water holds in heat very well. Keep the temperature more steady and average. The areas around the water will also have a less variant change in temperature as a result. This property of water is known as high specific heat.
