For lunch you and your friends decide to stop at the nearest deli and have a sandwich made fresh for you with 0.300 kg of Italia

n ham. The slices of ham are weighed on a plate of mass 0.400 kg placed atop a vertical spring of negligible mass and force constant of 200 N/m . The slices of ham are dropped on the plate all at the same time from a height of 0.250 m . They make a totally inelastic collision with the plate and set the scale into vertical simple harmonic motion (SHM). You may assume that the collision time is extremely small.What is the amplitude of oscillation A of the scale after the slices of ham land on the plate?Express your answer numerically in meters and take free-fall acceleration to be g= 9.80m/s^2What is the period of oscillation T of the scale?Express your answer numerically in seconds.

Answer:

Part a)

A = 0.0581 m

Part b)

T = 0.37 s

Explanation:

A slice is dropped onto the plate from a height of 0.250 m,

therefore the speed of the slice upon impact is calculated as

v = \sqrt{2gh}

We know that

v = \sqrt{2(9.81)(0.250)}

v = 2.21 m/s

Now applying the conservation of momentum:

mv = (m + M)v_f

m = 0.300 kg

M = 0.400 kg

From this equation, we find:

0.300 (2.21) = (0.300 + 0.400) v_f

v_f = 0.95 m/s

0.400 (9.81) = 200 x_1

When the slice rests on the plate, the new mean position can be expressed as

x_1 = 0.01962 m

(0.300 + 0.400)9.81 = 200 x_2

We also determine that the speed of SHM is represented as

x_2 = 0.0343 m

Here, we derive values from

v = \omega\sqrt{A^2 - x^2}

\omega = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m + M}}

\omega = \sqrt{\frac{200}{0.300 + 0.400}}

\omega = 16.9 rad/s

a = x_2 - x_1 = 0.0343 - 0.01962 = 0.0147 m

Using the previous formula gives:

0.95 = 16.9\sqrt{A^2 - 0.0147^2}

A = 0.0581 m

Part b)

The time period for the scale is computed as

T = \frac{2\pi}{\omega}

T = \frac{2\pi}{16.9}

T = 0.37 s

If a metal wire is 4m long and a force of 5000n causes it to stretch by 1mm, what is the strain?
serg [3582]

Answer:

2.5\cdot 10^{-4}

Explanation:

Strain is defined as the ratio of an object's dimensional change when subjected to a force:

S=\frac{\Delta L}{L_0}

where

\Delta L indicates the alteration in length of the object

L_0 signifies the object's initial length

In this case, we have L_0 = 4 m and \Delta L=1 mm=0.001 m, hence the strain is

S=\frac{\Delta L}{L_0}=\frac{0.001 m}{4 m}=2.5\cdot 10^{-4}

A standard baseball has a circumference of approximately 23 cm . if a baseball had the same mass per unit volume as a neutron or
Softa [3030]

Answer:

 Baseball mass:  m_b=3.992*10^{14}kg  

Explanation:

 Circumference of a baseball is calculated using 2πr = 23 cm

 Thus, the radius comes out to be 3.66 cm, which equals 3.66*10^{-2} m

 The mass density of the baseball matches that of a neutron or proton.

 Proton mass = 10^{-27} kg  

 Proton diameter = 10^{-15} m

 Proton radius =  5*10^{-16} m

 Volume of the baseball is \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3

 Now by substituting all values into the mass per unit volume equation for the baseball, we get:  

         \frac{m_b}{\frac{4}{3}\pi *(3.66*10^{-2})^3} =\frac{10^{-27}}{\frac{4}{3}\pi *(5*10^{-16})^3}

         \frac{m_b}{(3.66*10^{-2})^3} =\frac{10^{-27}}{(5*10^{-16})^3}  

         m_b=3.992*10^{14}kg

       Therefore, the baseball mass amounts to m_b=3.992*10^{14}kg

A moving sidewalk 95 m in length carries passengers at a speed of 0.53 m/s. One passenger has a normal walking speed of 1.24 m/s
Maru [3345]
Answer: a) t = 1.8 x 10^2 seconds; b) t = 54 seconds; c) t = 49 seconds. Explanation: a) To determine the time of a stationary passenger on the sidewalk, we use the position formula. Given the constant speed of the walkway, we can calculate the time taken for set distances accordingly. This calculation extends into cases where combined velocities for walking are involved in subsequent queries.

A spin bike has a flywheel in two parts—a 12.5 kg disk with radius 0.23 m, and a 7.0 kg ring with mass concentrated at the outer
Keith_Richards [3271]

Response:

Clarification:

Provided

weight of disk m=12.5 kg

diameter of disc R=0.23 m

weight of ring m_r=7 kg

Force F=9.7 N

N=180 rpm

\omega =\frac{2\pi N}{60}

\omega =6\pi rad/s

Overall moment of inertia

=Disc's moment of inertia +Ring's Moment of Inertia

=0.5\cdot 12.5\times 0.23^2+7\times 0.23^2

=13.25\times 0.23^2=0.7009 kg-m^2

At this point, Torque is T=F\times R=I\cdot \alpha

9.7\times 0.23=0.7\times \alpha

\alpha =3.18 rad/s^2

Utilizing \omega _f=\omega +\alpha t

\omega _f=0 in this scenario

0=6\pi -3.18\times t

t=\frac{6\pi }{3.18}

t=5.92 s
