A dolphin swims due east for 1.90 km, then swims 7.20 km in the direction south of west. What are the magnitude and direction of

the vector that will take the dolphin back to its starting point? (Enter the magnitude in km and the direction in degrees north of east.)

Answer:

magnitude = 7.446 km, direction = 75.22° north of east

Explanation:

From the questions,

To get the the magnitude of the resultant vector we use Pythagoras theorem

a² = b²+c²

From the diagram,

y² = 1.9²+7.2²

y² = 55.45

y = √(55.45)

y = 7.446 km.

The direction of the dolphin is given as,

θ = tan⁻¹(7.2/1.9)

θ = tan⁻¹(3.7895)

θ = 75.22° north of east

Hence the magnitude of the resultant vector = 7.446 km, and it direction is 75.22° north of east

Answer:

w = √ 1 / CL

This does not violate energy conservation because the voltage of the power source is equal to the voltage drop in the resistence

Explanation:

This problem refers to electrical circuits, the circuits where this phenomenon occurs are series RLC circuits, where the resistor, the capacitor and the inductance are placed in series.

In these circuits the impedance is

             X = √ (R² +  (X_{C} -X_{L})² )

where Xc and XL is the capacitive and inductive impedance, respectively

            X_{C} = 1 / wC

           X_{L} = wL

From this expression we can see that for the resonance frequency

           X_{C} = X_{L}

the impedance of the circuit is minimal, therefore the current and voltage are maximum and an increase in signal intensity is observed.

This does not violate energy conservation because the voltage of the power source is equal to the voltage drop in the resistence

               V = IR

Since the contribution of the two other components is canceled, this occurs for

                X_{C} = X_{L}

                1 / wC = w L

                w = √ 1 / CL

A block of mass m is pushed up against a spring with spring constant k until the spring has been compressed a distance x from eq
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:d

Explanation:

Spring is compressed to a distance of x from its equilibrium position

Work done by block on the spring is equal to change in elastic potential energy

i.e. Work done by block W=\frac{1}{2}kx^2

therefore spring will also done an equal opposite amount of work on the block in the absence of external force

Thus work done by spring on the block W=-\frac{1}{2}kx^2

Thus option d is correct

A horizontal spring with spring constant 85 n/m extends outward from a wall just above floor level. a 3.5 kg box sliding across
Rina8888 [55]

k = spring constant of the spring = 85 N/m

m = mass of the box sliding towards the spring = 3.5 kg

v = speed of box just before colliding with the spring = ?

x = compression the spring = 6.5 cm = 6.5 cm (1 m /100 cm) = 0.065 m

the kinetic energy of box just before colliding with the spring converts into the spring energy of the spring when it is fully compressed.

Using conservation of energy

Kinetic energy of spring before collision = spring energy of spring after compression

(0.5) m v² = (0.5) k x²

m v² = k x²

inserting the values

(3.5 kg) v² = (85 N/m) (0.065 m)²

v = 0.32 m/s

A 4.00-kg mass is attached to a very light ideal spring hanging vertically and hangs at rest in the equilibrium position. The sp
Ahat [919]

Answer:

|v| = 8.7 cm/s

Explanation:

given:

mass m = 4 kg

spring constant k = 1 N/cm = 100 N/m

at time t = 0:

amplitude A = 0.02m

unknown: velocity v at position y = 0.01 m

y = A cos(\omega t + \phi)\\v = -\omega A sin(\omega t + \phi)\\ \omega = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}

1. Finding Ф from the initial conditions:

-0.02 = 0.02cos(0 + \phi) => \phi = \pi

2. Finding time t at position y = 1 cm:

0.01 =0.02cos(\omega t + \pi)\\ \frac{1}{2}=cos(\omega t + \pi)\\t=(acos(\frac{1}{2})-\pi)\frac{1}{\omega}

3. Find velocity v at time t from equation 2:

v =-0.02\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}sin(acos(\frac{1}{2}))
