An object of mass 8.0 kg is attached to an ideal massless spring and allowed to hang in the Earth's gravitational field. The spr

ing stretches 3.6 cm before it reaches its equilibrium position. If this system is allowed to oscillate, what will be its frequency?

The frequency of the spring is about 2.6 Hz

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Simple Harmonic Motion is a motion where the magnitude of acceleration is directly proportional to the magnitude of the displacement but in the opposite direction.

$\texttt{ }$

The pulled and then released spring is one of the examples of Simple Harmonic Motion. We can use the following formula to find the period of this spring.

$T = 2 \pi\sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}$

<em>T = Periode of Spring ( second )</em>

<em>m = Load Mass ( kg )</em>

<em>k = Spring Constant ( N / m )</em>

$\texttt{ }$

The pendulum which moves back and forth is also an example of Simple Harmonic Motion. We can use the following formula to find the period of this pendulum.

$T = 2 \pi\sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}$

<em>T = Periode of Pendulum ( second )</em>

<em>L = Length of Pendulum ( kg )</em>

<em>g = Gravitational Acceleration ( m/s² )</em>

Let us now tackle the problem !

$\texttt{ }$

<u>Given:</u>

mass of the object = m = 8.0 kg

extension of the spring = x = 3.6 cm = 3.6 × 10⁻² m

<u>Unknown:</u>

frequency of the spring = f = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

<em>Firstly, we will calculate the spring constant as follows:</em>

$F = kx$

$mg = kx$

$k = mg \div x$

$k = \frac{mg}{x}$

$\texttt{ }$

<em>Next, we could calculate the frequency of the spring as follows:</em>

$f = \frac{1}{2 \pi}\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$

$f = \frac{1}{2 \pi}\sqrt{\frac{mg / x}{m}}$

$f = \frac{1}{2 \pi}\sqrt{\frac{g}{x}}$

$f = \frac{1}{2 \pi}\sqrt{\frac{9.8}{3.6 \times 10^{-2}}}$

$f = \frac{35\sqrt{2}}{6\pi} \texttt{ Hz}$

$f \approx 2.6 \texttt{ Hz}$

Answer:

2.63 Hz

Explanation:

m = mass of the object = 8.0 kg

x = stretch in the spring = 3.6 cm = 0.036 m

k = spring constant of the spring

using equilibrium of force

Spring force = weight of object

k x = m g

k (0.036) = (8) (9.8)

k = 2177.78 N/m

frequency of oscillation is given as

$f = \frac{1}{2\pi }\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$

$f = \frac{1}{2\pi }\sqrt{\frac{2177.78}{8}}$

$f$ = 2.63 Hz

prisoha [69]

Answer:

The water will flow at a speed of 3,884 m/s

Explanation:

Torricelli's equation

v = $\sqrt{2gh}$

*v = liquid velocity at the exit of the hole

g = gravity acceleration

h = distance from the surface of the liquid to the center of the hole.

v = $\sqrt{2*9,8m/s^2*0,77m}$ = 3,884 m/s

An electric eel (Electrophorus electricus) can produce a shock of up to 600 V and a current of 1 A for a duration of 2 ms, which

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

$2\times 10^{-3}\ C$

6000

1.2 J

$3.33\times 10^{-6}\ F$

Explanation:

I = Current = 1 A

t = Time = 2 ms

n = Number of electrocyte

V = Voltage = 100 mV

Charge is given by

$Q=It\\\Rightarrow Q=1\times 2\times 10^{-3}\\\Rightarrow Q=2\times 10^{-3}\ C$

The charge flowing through the electrocytes in that amount of time is $2\times 10^{-3}\ C$

The maximum potential is given by

$V_m=nV\\\Rightarrow n=\dfrac{V_m}{V}\\\Rightarrow n=\dfrac{600}{100\times 10^{-3}}\\\Rightarrow n=6000$

The number of electrolytes is 6000

Energy is given by

$E=Pt\\\Rightarrow E=V_mIt\\\Rightarrow E=600\times 1\times 2\times 10^{-3}\\\Rightarrow E=1.2\ J$

The energy released when the electric eel delivers a shock is 1.2 J

Equivalent capacitance is given by

$C_e=\dfrac{Q}{V_m}\\\Rightarrow C_e=\dfrac{2\times 10^{-3}}{600}\\\Rightarrow C_e=3.33\times 10^{-6}\ F$

The equivalent capacitance of all the electrocyte cells in the electric eel is $3.33\times 10^{-6}\ F$

A worker stands still on a roof sloped at an angle of 35° above the horizontal. He is prevented from slipping by static friction

aleksley [76]

Answer:

99.63 kg

Explanation:

From the force diagram

N = normal force on the worker from the surface of the roof

f = static frictional force = 560 N

θ = angle of the slope = 35

m = mass of the worker

W = weight of the worker = mg

W Cosθ = Component of the weight of worker perpendicular to the surface of roof

W Sinθ = Component of the weight of worker parallel to the surface of roof

From the force diagram, for the worker not to slip, force equation must be

W Sinθ = f

mg Sinθ = f

m (9.8) Sin35 = 560

m = 99.63 kg

Recall that weight is a force and is equal to m*g, where g is the acceleration due to gravity exerted by the Earth near the Eart

Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

145.43 N

Explanation:

Weight is given by (mg)

where m = mass of the body

g = acceleration due to gravity

mass is constant everywhere and is equal to 77.1 kg, both on the earth and on the moon.

But the acceleration due to gravity exerted by the moon near the moon's surface is 16.6% that of Earth,

g(moon) = 0.166 g(earth) = 0.166 × 9.8 = 1.6268 m/s²

Weight on the moon = mg(moon) = (77.1×1.6268) = 125.43 N
