A mass is oscillating horizontally on a spring. At the locations A, B, C, D, and E, photogates are used to measure the speed of

the mass as it moves by. The speed is used to calculate the kinetic energy ( K E ) and the location of the photogates is used to calculate the elastic potential energy ( P E elastic ) . Interpret the chart to determine the missing K E and P E elastic values. Assume all values are exact.

Complete Question

The complete question is is shown on the first uploaded

Answer:

The elastic potential energy at point B is $PE_{elastic} = 50J$

The kinetic energy at point D is $KE = 75J$

Explanation:

Looking at the given point we can observe that mechanically energy(i.e potential and kinetic energy ) is conserved and it value is $E_ {m} = 100J$

So at point B

$E_{m} = PE_{elastic} +KE$

$100 = PE_{elastic} + KE$

KE at point B is 50J

So $PE_{elastic} = 100 - 50 = 50J$

Now at point D

$E_{m} = PE_{elastic} +KE$

$PE_{elastic}$ at point D is 25J

So $KE = 100 - 25 = 75J$

A uniform 1.4-kg rod that is 0.75 m long is suspended at rest from the ceiling by two springs, one at each end of the rod. Both

svetlana [45]

Answer:

7 deg

Explanation:

$m$ = mass of the rod = $1.4 kg$

$W$ = weight of the rod = $mg = (1.4) (9.8) = 13.72 N$

$k_{L}$ = spring constant for left spring = $59 Nm^{-1}$

$k_{R}$ = spring constant for right spring = $33 Nm^{-1}$

$x_{L}$ = stretch in the left spring

$x_{R}$ = stretch in the right spring

$L$ = length of the rod = 0.75 m

$\theta$ = Angle the rod makes with the horizontal

Using equilibrium of force in vertical direction for left spring

$k_{L} x_{L} = (0.5) W\\(59) x_{L} = (0.5) (13.72)\\x_{L} = 0.116 m$

Using equilibrium of force in vertical direction for right spring

$k_{R} x_{R} = (0.5) W\\(33) x_{R} = (0.5) (13.72)\\x_{R} = 0.208 m$

Angle made with the horizontal is given as

$\theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{(x_{R} - x_{L})}{L} )\\\theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{(0.208 - 0.116)}{0.75} )\\\theta = 7 deg$

A 40-mH ideal inductor is connected in series with a 50 Ω resistor through an ideal 15-V DC power supply and an open switch. If

sergey [27]

Answer:i=300 mA

Explanation:

Given

inductance(L)=40 mH

Resistor(R)= $50 \Omega$

Voltage(V)=15 V

Time constant( $\tau$ )= $\frac{L}{R}$

$\tau =\frac{40\times 10^{-3}}{50}=8\times 10^{-4}$

current $i_0=\frac{V}{R}$

$i_0=\frac{15}{50}=0.3 A$

Current as a function of time is given by

$i=i_0\left ( 1-e^{-\frac{t}{\tau }}\right )$

$i=0.3\times 0.9998$

i= 299.95 mA

Some drops a ball off of the top of a 125-m-tall building. In this prob-lem, you will be solving for the time it takes the ball

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

t = 5.05 s

Explanation:

This is a kinetic problem.

a) to solve it we must fix a reference system, let's use a fixed system on the floor where the height is 0 m

b) in this system the equations of motion are

y = v₀ t + ½ g t²

where v₀ is the initial velocity that is v₀ = 0 and g is the acceleration of gravity that always points towards the center of the Earth

e) y = 0 + ½ g t²

t = √ (2y / g)

t = √(2 125 / 9.8)

t = 5.05 s
