Answer and Explanation

The harmonic oscillator strictly obeys the law of conservation of energy. Therefore, the amplitude of the system remains constant.

Dissipative forces, (e.g. friction), result in some energy losses in different forms of energies and results in a decrease in amplitude after each oscillation.

The sum of kinetic energy and potential energy decreases after each oscillation as part of this energy that should maintain the harmonic oscilator in a state of harmonic motion is being used to service friction. If the frictional forces persists, the amplitude keeps decreasing until motion is brought to a standstill.

For the driving mechanism, some external force acting on the system (driving force) must be accounted for and in this scenario, energy is lost due to frictional forces that can be provided back to the system with the involvement of the driving force/mechanism & makes up for the energy lost.

Answer:

There is the conservation of energy in a harmonic oscillator. As a result, the system amplitude will remain constant. The dissipative forces (i.e. friction) lead to loss of energy in different forms and the system amplitude is reduced due to the reduction in both kinetic and potential energies at the end of each oscillation.

The external forces acting on a driving mechanism must be accounted for at all times. In this case, there is a loss of energy because dissipative forces can be returned back to the system in the presence of the driving to account for the loss in energy.

A ship maneuvers to within 2.50 x 103 m of anisland's 1.80 x 103 m high mountain peak and fires aprojectile at an enemy ship 6.1
const2013 [10]

Answer:

Distance between peak height (vertically) of projectile and mountain height = (2975.2 - 1800) = 1175.2 m

Distance between where the projectile lands and ship B = (3188.8 - 3110) = 8.8 m

Explanation:

Given the velocity and angle of shot of the projectile, one can calculate the range and maximum height attained by the projectile.

H = (v₀² Sin²θ)/2g

v₀ = initial velocity of projectile = 2.50 × 10² m/s = 250 m/s

θ = 75°, g = 9.8 m/s²

H = 250² (Sin² 75)/(2 × 9.8) = 2975.2 m

Range of projectile

R = v₀² (sin2θ)/g

R = 250² (sin2×75)/9.8

R = 250² (sin 150)/9.8 = 3188.8 m

Height of mountain = 1.80 × 10³ = 1800 m

Maximum height of projectile = 2975.2 m

Distance between peak height (vertically) of projectile and mountain height = 2975.2 - 1800 = 1175.2 m

Distance of ship B from ship A = 2.5 × 10³ + 6.1 × 10² = 2500 + 610 = 3110 m

Range of projectile = 3188.8 m

Distance between where the projectile lands and ship B = 3188.8 - 3110 = 8.8 m

The air in a pipe resonates at 150 Hz and 750 Hz, one of these resonances being the fundamental. If the pipe is open at both end
Xelga [282]

Answer:

Explanation:

Two frequencies with magnitude 150 Hz and 750 Hz are given

For Pipe open at both sides

fundamental frequency is 150 Hz as it is smaller

frequency  of pipe is given by

f=\frac{nv}{2L}

where L=length of Pipe

v=velocity of sound

f=150\ Hz for n=1

and f=750 is for n=5

thus there are three resonance frequencies for n=2,3 and 4

For Pipe closed at one end

frequency is given by

f=\frac{(2n+1)}{4L}\cdot v

for n=0

f_1=\frac{v}{4L}

f_1=150\ Hz

for n=2

f_2=\frac{5v}{4L}

Thus there is one additional resonance corresponding to n=1 , between f_1 and f_2

3. In 1989, Michel Menin of France walked on a tightrope suspended under a
Tamiku [17]

Answer: 80m

Explanation:

Distance of balloon to the ground is 3150m

Let the distance of Menin's pocket to the ground be x

Let the distance between Menin's pocket to the balloon be y

Hence, x=3150-y------1

Using the equation of motion,

V^2= U^s + 2gs--------2

U= initial speed is 0m/s

g is replaced with a since the acceleration is under gravity (g) and not straight line (a), hence g is taken as 10m/s

40m/s is contant since U (the coin is at rest is 0) hence V =40m/s

Slotting our values into equation 2

40^2= 0^2 + 2 * 10* (3150-y)

1600 = 0 + 63000 - 20y

1600 - 63000 = - 20y

-61400 = - 20y minus cancel out minus on both sides of the equation

61400 = 20y

Hence y = 61400/20

3070m

Hence, recall equation 1

x = 3150 - 3070

80m

I hope this solve the problem.

What is the momentum of a 533 kg blimp moving east at +75 m/s
mylen [45]

Answer:

39975kgm/s due east

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the blimp  = 533kg

Velocity  = +75m/s due east

Unknown:

Momentum of the body  = ?

Solution:

The momentum of a body is the amount of motion it posses.

 Momentum is the product of mass and velocity;

 

  Momentum = mass x velocity

  Insert the parameters and solve;

    Momentum  = 533 x 75  = 39975kgm/s

The momentum of the body is 39975kgm/s due east
