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

Physics
1 answer:
Sergeu [11.5K]3 years ago
6 0

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

A transverse wave on a string has an amplitude a. A tiny spot on the string is colored red. As one cycle of the wave passes by
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

Option D) 4A

Explanation:

As the cycle of the wave passes by, the amplitude gives the longest journey when the spot travels from the undistributed position. During each cycle the spot travels "Four times" .

Considering one of this cycle, if it begins to travel from it's undistributed position , there would be four movements i.e

* Upward movement through distance A

*Downward movement through distance A

*Downward again through distance A

*Upward through distance A.

Then it would travel back to its undistributed position held

I need help answering 30A and B. Help a guy out?
dmitriy555 [2]

Uh so I'm no master at this subject, but all stuffs accelerate at 9.8 m/s squared. So you multiply the 9.8 and the 0.20 it's given for reasons unknown other than that's what I see in my notes... and that gives you 1.96 m/s squared.

As for B, I have no idea. I think you may multiply the 1.96 by 4. Tell me your thoughts and maybe we can work it out together

A 1200 kg car is brought from 25 m/s to 10m/s over a time period of 5 seconds. Determine the force experienced by the car
aleksklad [387]
It's simple.
We know force is the rate of change in momentum.
So F=(mv-mu)/t or F=m(v-u)/t
=1200*(25-10)/5=3600N
