An ideal spring is mounted horizontally, with its left end fixed. The force constant of the spring is 170 N/m. A glider of mass

1.2 kg is attached to the free end of the spring. The glider is pulled toward the right along a frictionless air track, and then released. Now the glider is moving in simple harmonic motion with amplitude 0.045 m. The motion is horizontal (one-dimensional).
Suddenly, Slimer holding an apple flies in and approaches the glider. Slimer drops the apple vertically onto the glider from a very small height. The apple sticks to the glider. The mass of the apple is 0.18 kg.
Recall that the total mechanical energy is E = 1/2 mv^2 + 1/2 kx^2 = 1/2 kA^2 = constant
(a) Calculate the new amplitude of the motion of the glider with apple if the apple is dropped at the moment when the glider passes through its equilibrium position, x = 0 m.
Hints: The total energy of the glider just before the collision is E = 1/2mglider v^2 = 1/2KA^2
The apple sticks to the glider in a completely inelastic collision. The glider is now moving with the apple but at a lower speed. The linear momentum is conserved. Write a corresponding equation.
Also, assume that the collision is very short, so just before the collision the glider is at x = 0 m, and just after the collision the glider and apple are still at x = 0 m. Therefore, the total energy of the glider just after the collision is Enew = 1/2mglider + applev^2new = 1/2kA^2new
(b) Calculate the period of the motion of the glider and the period of the motion of the glider with apple.
Hint: it's a very simple question.

The spring in a retractable ballpoint pen is 1.8 cm long, with a 300 N/m spring constant. When the pen is retracted, the spring
Sav [2226]

Answer:

The pen requires 7.2 mJ of energy to extend.

Explanation:

Provided:

Length = 1.8 cm

Spring constant = 300 N/m

Initial compression = 1.0 mm

Additional compression = 6.0 mm

Total compression = 1.0 + 6.0 = 7.0 mm

We need to determine the energy needed

This energy is equivalent to the variation in spring potential energy

E=PE_{2}-PE_{1}

E=\dfrac{1}{2}kx_{2}^2-\dfrac{1}{2}kx_{1}^2

Substitute the values into the formula

E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times300\times(7.0\times10^{-3})^2-\dfrac{1}{2}\times300\times(1.0\times10^{-3})^2

E=0.0072\ J

E=7.2\ mJ

Therefore, a total of 7.2 mJ is needed to extend the pen.

A bus slows down uniformly from 75.0 km/h to 0 km/h in 21 s. How far does it travel before stopping?
Yuliya22 [2420]

1 hour = 3,600 seconds
1 km = 1,000 meters

75 km/hour = (75,000/3,600) m/s = 20-5/6 m/s

The mean speed during the deceleration is

                                   (1/2)(20-5/6 + 0) = 10-5/12 m/s.

Traveling at this average speed for 21 seconds,
the bus covers

                        (10-5/12) × (21) = 218.75 meters.

camera was able to deliver 1.3 frames per second for this photo, and that the car has a length of approximately 5.3 meters. Usin
Sav [2226]

The question lacks details. Here is the full question.

The accompanying image was captured with a camera capable of shooting between one and two frames per second. A series of photos was merged into this single image, meaning the vehicles depicted are actually the same car, documented at different intervals.

Assuming the camera produced 1.3 frames per second for this image and that the length of the car is approximately 5.3 meters, based on this information and the photo, how fast was the car moving?

Answer: v = 6.5 m/s

Explanation: The problem requires calculating the car's velocity. Velocity can be computed using:

v=\frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}

Since the camera captured 7 images of the car and its length is noted as 5.3, the car's displacement is:

Δx = 7(5.3)

Δx = 37.1 m

The camera operates at 1.3 frames per second and recorded 7 images, thus the time driven by the car is:

1.3 frames = 1 s

7 frames = Δt

Δt = 5.4 s

<pconsequently the="" car="" was="" driving="" at:="">

v=\frac{37.1}{5.4}

v = 6.87 m/s

For a group class project, students are building model roller coasters. Each roller coaster needs to begin at the top of the fir
Keith_Richards [2256]

Case A:

A.75 kg 65 N/m 1.2 m

m = weight of the car = 0.75 kg

k = spring's stiffness = 65 N/m

h = elevation of the hill = 1.2 m

x = spring's compression = 0.25 m

Applying the principle of energy conservation from the Top of the hill to the Bottom of the hill

Energy at the Top of the hill equals Energy at the Bottom of the hill

spring energy + gravitational potential energy = kinetic energy

(0.5) k x² + mgh = (0.5) m v²

(0.5) (65) (0.25)² + (0.75 x 9.8 x 1.2) = (0.5) (0.75) v²

v = 5.4 m/s



Case B:

B.60 kg 35 N/m.9 m

m = weight of the car = 0.60 kg

k = spring's stiffness = 35 N/m

h = height of the hill = 0.9 m

x = spring's compression = 0.25 m

Using energy conservation from the Top of the hill to the Bottom of the hill

Top hill energy = Bottom hill energy

spring energy + gravitational potential energy = kinetic energy

(0.5) k x² + mgh = (0.5) m v²

(0.5) (35) (0.25)² + (0.60 x 9.8 x 0.9) = (0.5) (0.60) v²

v = 4.6 m/s




Case C:

C.55 kg 40 N/m 1.1 m

m = weight of the car = 0.55 kg

k = spring's stiffness = 40 N/m

h = height of the hill = 1.1 m

x = spring's compression = 0.25 m

Using conservation of energy from the Top of the hill to the Bottom of the hill

Energy at the Top of the hill = Energy at the Bottom of the hill

spring energy + gravitational potential energy = kinetic energy

(0.5) k x² + mgh = (0.5) m v²

(0.5) (40) (0.25)² + (0.55 x 9.8 x 1.1) = (0.5) (0.55) v²

v = 5.1 m/s




Case D:

D.84 kg 32 N/m.95 m

m = weight of the car = 0.84 kg

k = spring's stiffness = 32 N/m

h = height of the hill = 0.95 m

x = spring's compression = 0.25 m

Using energy conservation from the Top of the hill to the Bottom of the hill

Total energy at Top of hill = Total energy at Bottom of hill

spring energy + gravitational potential energy = kinetic energy

(0.5) k x² + mgh = (0.5) m v²

(0.5) (32) (0.25)² + (0.84 x 9.8 x 0.95) = (0.5) (0.84) v²

v = 4.6 m/s


thus, the closest result is from case C at 5.1 m/s

A small box of mass m1 is sitting on a board of mass m2 and length L (Figure 1) . The board rests on a frictionless horizontal s
Ostrovityanka [2204]

Explanation:

The entire system will accelerate due to the applied force. The box will feel a force opposing friction, and once this force surpasses the friction, the box will start moving. Therefore,

Ff = μs×m1×g

m1×a = μs×m1×g

a = μs×g

The force applied is expressed as

F = (m1 + m2)×a hence

F = μs×g×(m1+m2)
