Spring scales work by measuring the displacement of a spring that supports both the platform of mass mp and the object, of mass

m, whose weight is being measured. Most scales read zero when no mass m has been placed on them; that is, they are calibrated so that the weight reading accounts for the mass of the platform mp. Assume that the spring is linear elastic with spring constant k.
Required:
If the mass m is gently placed on the spring scale (it is released from zero height above the scale), determine the maximum reading on the scale after the mass is released.

A 1200 kg car reaches the top of a 100 m high hill at A with a speed vA. What is the value of vA that will allow the car to coas
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

the value of vA that will allow the car to coast in neutral so as to just reach the top of the 150 m high hill at B with vB = 0 is 31.3 m/s

Explanation:

given information

car's mass, m = 1200 kg

h_{A} = 100 m

v_{A} = v_{A}

h_{B} = 150 m

v_{B} = 0

according to conservative energy

the distance from point A to B, h = 150 m - 100 m = 50 m

the initial speed v_{A}

final speed  v_{B} = 0

thus,

v_{B}² = v_{A}² - 2 g h

0 = v_{A}² - 2 g h

v_{A}² = 2 g h

v_{A} = √2 g h

    = √2 (9.8) (50)

    = 31.3 m/s

a 4357 kg roller coaster car starts from rest at the top of a 36.5 m high track. determine the speed of the car at the top of a
andrey2020 [161]
The correct answer is 17.24 m/s. You get the answer by subtracting the two heights of the tracks which are 36.5 and 10.8 m, and the answer is 25.7. Since you already know the height at which the kinetic energy will be coming from, you then divide the amount of weight the roller coaster has to the distance it needs to travel in order for you to determine the speed of the car. So that is, 4,357 kg and 25.7 m and the answer is 169 kg/m. Dividing it to the earth's gravity of 9.8 m/s you'll get 17.24 m/s.

If a rock is thrown upward on the planet mars with a velocity of 11 m/s, its height (in meters) after t seconds is given by h =
Butoxors [25]
(a) 3.56 m/s 
(b) 11 - 3.72a 
(c) t = 5.9 s 
(d) -11 m/s  
For most of these problems, you're being asked the velocity of the rock as a function of t, while you've been given the position as a function of t. So first calculate the first derivative of the position function using the power rule. 
y = 11t - 1.86t^2 
y' = 11 - 3.72t 
Now that you have the first derivative, it will give you the velocity as a function of t. 
(a) Velocity after 2 seconds. 
y' = 11 - 3.72t 
y' = 11 - 3.72*2 = 11 - 7.44 = 3.56 
So the velocity is 3.56 m/s  
(b) Velocity after a seconds. 
y' = 11 - 3.72t 
y' = 11 - 3.72a  
So the answer is 11 - 3.72a  
(c) Use the quadratic formula to find the zeros for the position function y = 11t-1.86t^2. Roots are t = 0 and t = 5.913978495. The t = 0 is for the moment the rock was thrown, so the answer is t = 5.9 seconds.  
(d) Plug in the value of t calculated for (c) into the velocity function, so: 
y' = 11 - 3.72a
 y' = 11 - 3.72*5.913978495
 y' = 11 - 22
 y' = -11 
 So the velocity is -11 m/s which makes sense since the total energy of the rock will remain constant, so it's coming down at the same speed as it was going up.
