A toy of mass 0.190-kg is undergoing SHM on the end of a horizontal spring with force constant k = 350 N/m . When the toy is a d

istance 0.0140 m from its equilibrium position, it is observed to have a speed of 0.400 m/s .
A) What is the toy's total energy at any point of its motion?
B) What is the toy's amplitude of the motion?
C) What is the toy's maximum speed during its motion?

Answer

a)0.0495 J

b)0.01681 m

c)0.7218 m/s

Explanation:

Given

Mass of the.toy M = 0.190 kg

force constant k = 350 N/m

Displacement from equilibrium x = 0.0140 m

Speed v = 0.400 m/s

a)What is the toy's total energy at any point of its motion?

The total energy at any point of it's motion can be calculated by adding together both the potential and kinetic energy of the toy, since it's posses potential energy when at rest and kinetic energy at motion

Total energy E = kinetic energy + potential energy

E = ¹/₂mv² + ¹/₂kx²

E = ¹/₂ (0.190)(0.4)² + ¹/₂ (350)(0.0140)²

E = 0.0495 J

Hence,the total energy is 0.0495 J

b) the amplitude of the motion can be calculated using below formula

Let amplitude = A

E = ¹/₂KA²

if we make Amplitude A the subject of the formula we have

A=√(2E/k)

But we have calculated our E up there, our K was given in question then if we substitute we have

A= √(2×0.0495)/350

Ans: 0.01681 m

Hence, our Amplitude is 0.01681 m

c) the the toy's maximum speed during its motion can be calculated using the expression below

Let maximum speed = vmax

E = (1/2)M * vmax^2

If we make vmax the subject of the formula we have

vmax =√(2E/m)

vmax= √(2×0.0495)/0.190

vmax=0.7218 m/s

Hence our vmax is 0.7218 m/s

irga5000 [103]

Answer:

Explanation:

Suppose the distance between the two cities is D and the velocity in calm weather is V . The total time taken in two way travel is given by

Total distance / velocity

= 2 D / V

Suppose velocity of wind is v . Then in one way the velocity of airplane will become V + v and in the return trip its velocity will be V - v

Total time taken

= $\frac{D}{V+v} +\frac{D}{V-v}$

= $\frac{2DV}{V^2-v^2}$

= $\frac{2V^2D}{V(V^2-v^2)}$

= $\frac{2D}{V(1 - \frac{v^2}{V^2}) }$

= The denominator contains a factor

$1-\frac{v^2}{V^2}$

which is less than one so time calculated will be more than

2D / V

Hence in the second case time taken will be more .

Suppose you wanted to hold up an electron against the force of gravity by the attraction of a fixed proton some distance above i

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

The value is $r = 5.077 \ m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The Coulomb constant is $k = 9.0 *10^{9} \ N\cdot m^2 /C^2$

The charge on the electron/proton is $e = 1.6*10^{-19} \ C$

The mass of proton $m_{proton} = 1.67*10^{-27} \ kg$

The mass of electron is $m_{electron } = 9.11 *10^{-31} \ kg$

Generally for the electron to be held up by the force gravity

Then

Electric force on the electron = The gravitational Force

i.e

$m_{electron} * g = \frac{ k * e^2 }{r^2 }$

$\frac{9*10^9 * (1.60 *10^{-19})^2 }{r^2 } = 9.11 *10^{-31 } * 9.81$

$r = \sqrt{25.78}$

$r = 5.077 \ m$

Use the formula a=h/n to find the batting average a of a batter who has h hits in n times at bat. Solve the formula for h. if a

Inessa [10]

A = h / n => h = a*n

a = 0.290 hit / time
n = 300 times

=> h = 0.290 hit / time * 300 time = 87 hits

Answer: 87 hits

The two forces should be equal therefore:

A car enters a 300-m radius horizontal curve on a rainy day when the coefficient of static friction between its tires and the ro

Vlada [557]

To solve this problem it is necessary to take into account the concepts related to Centripetal Force and Friction Force.

In the case of the centripetal force, we know that it is defined as

$F_c = \frac{mv^2}{R}$

Where,

m=mass

v= velocity

r= Radius

In the case of the Force of Friction we have to,

$F_f = \mu m*g$

Where,

$\mu =$ Friction Constant

m= mass

g= gravity

According to the information given, the centripetal force must be less than or equal to the friction force to stay on the road, in this way

$\frac{mv^2}{R} \leq \mu m*g$

Re-arrange to find the velocity,

$v \leq \sqrt{\mu gR}$

$v \leq \sqrt{(0.6)(9.8)(300)}$

$v \leq 42m/s$

Therefore la velocidad del carro debe ser igual o menor a 42m/s para mantenerse en el camino
