Two identical light springs with spring constant k3 are now individually hung vertically from the ceiling and attached at each e

nd of a symmetric object, such as a rectangular block with uniform mass density. In this case, with the springs next to each other, we describe them as being in parallel. Find the effective spring constant of the pair of springs as a system in this situation in terms of k3. (Use the following as necessary: k3, M, the mass of the symmetric object, and g, the gravitational acceleration.)

Answer:

 Keq = 2k₃

Explanation:

We can solve this exercise using Newton's second one

                F = m a

Where F is the eleatic force of the spring F = - k x

Since we have two springs, they are parallel or they are stretched the same distance by the object and the response force Fe is the same for the spring age due to having the same displacement

          F + F = m a

         k₃ x + k₃ x = m a

         a = 2k₃  x / m

To find the effective force constant, suppose we change this spring to what creates the cuddly displacement

       Keq = 2k₃

A 5.00-kg ball is hanging from a long but very light flexible wire when it is struck by a 1.50-kg stone traveling horizontally t
devlian [24]

consider the right direction as positive and left direction as negative.

M = mass of the ball = 5 kg

m = mass of stone = 1.50 kg

V_{bi} = initial velocity of the ball before collision = 0 m/s

V_{si} = initial velocity of the stone before collision = 12 m/s

V_{bf} = final velocity of the ball after collision = ?

V_{sf} = final velocity of the stone after collision = - 8.50 m/s

using conservation of momentum

MV_{bi} + mV_{si} = MV_{bf} + mV_{sf}

(5) (0) + (1.5) (12) = 5 V_{bf} + (1.50) (- 8.50)

V_{bf} = 6.15 m/s

h = height gained by the ball

using conservation of energy

Potential energy gained by ball at Top = kinetic energy at the bottom

Mgh = (0.5) MV_{bf}^{2}

(9.8) h = (0.5) (6.15)²

h = 1.93 m

A hot air balloon of total mass M (including passengers and luggage) is moving with a downward acceleration of magnitude a. As i
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

The fraction of mass that was thrown out is calculated by the following Formula:

M - m = (3a/2)/(g²- (a²/2) - (ag/2))

Explanation:

We know that Force on a moving object is equal to the product of its mass and acceleration given as:

F = ma

And there is gravitational force always acting on an object in the downward direction which is equal to g = 9.8 ms⁻²

Here as a convention we will use positive sign with acceleration to represent downward acceleration and negative sign with acceleration represent upward acceleration.

Case 1:

Hot balloon of mass = M

acceleration = a

Upward force due to hot air = F = constant

Gravitational force downwards = Mg

Net force on balloon is given as:

Ma = Gravitational force - Upward Force                              

Ma = Mg - F                      (balloon is moving downwards so Mg > F)

F = Mg - Ma

F = M (g-a)

M = F/(g-a)

Case 2:

After the ballast has thrown out,the new mass is m. The new acceleration is -a/2 in the upward direction:

Net Force is given as:

-m(a/2) = mg - F        (Balloon is moving upwards so F > mg)

F = mg + m(a/2)

F = m(g + (a/2))

m = F/(g + (a/2))

Calculating the fraction of the initial mass dropped:

M-m = \frac{F}{g-a} - \frac{F}{g+\frac{a}{2} }\\M-m = F*[\frac{1}{g-a} - \frac{1}{g+\frac{a}{2} }]\\M-m = F*[\frac{(g+(a/2)) - (g-a)}{(g-a)(g+(a/2))} ]\\M-m = F*[\frac{g+(a/2) - g + a)}{(g-a)(g+(a/2))} ]\\M-m = F*[\frac{(3a/2)}{g^{2}-\frac{a^{2}}{2}-\frac{ag}{2}} ]

Suppose two astronauts on a spacewalk are floating motionless in space, 3.0 m apart. Astronaut B tosses a 15.0 kg IMAX camera to
marta [7]

Answer:

\frac{ 112.5}{15+m_{A}}=v_{f}

(we need the mass of the astronaut A)

Explanation:

We can solve this by using the conservation law of the linear momentum P. First we need to represent every mass as a particle. Also we can simplify this system of particles by considering only the astronaut A with an initial speed v_{iA} of 0 m/s and a mass m_{A} and the IMAX camera with an initial speed v_{ic} of 7.5 m/s and a mass m_{c} of 15.0 kg.

The law of conservation says that the linear momentum P (the sum of the products between all masses and its speeds) is constant in time. The equation for this is:

P_{i}=p_{ic}+p_{iA}\\P_{i}=m_{c}v_{ic}+m_{A} v_{iA}\\P_{i}=15*7.5 + m_{A}*0\\P_{i}=112.5 \frac{kg.m}{s}

By the law of conservation we know that P_{i} =P_{f}

For P_{f} (final linear momentum) we need to treat the collision as a plastic one (the two particles stick together after the encounter).

So:

P_{i} =P_{f}=112.5\\

112.5=(m_{c}+m_{A})v_{f}\\\frac{ 112.5}{m_{c}+m_{A}}=v_{f}\\\frac{ 112.5}{15+m_{A}}=v_{f}
