Answer:

h = 10 m

Explanation:

Given,

mass of the platform = 50 Kg

Kinetic energy = 5000 J

height from which the diver dove =?

Taking the acceleration due to gravity as 10 m/s²

Using the conservation of energy principle

Kinetic energy is transformed into potential energy

K.E = P.E

K.E = m g h

5000 = 50 x 10 x h

500 h = 5000

h = \dfrac{5000}{500}

    h = 10 m

The height from which the diver dove is equal to h = 10 m

A spring is stretched 6 in by a mass that weighs 8 lb. The mass is attached to a dashpot mechanism that has a damping constant o
Ostrovityanka [3204]

Response:

y= 240/901 cos 2t+ 8/901 sin 2t

Clarification:

To determine mass m=weight/g

  m=8/32=0.25

To calculate the spring constant

Kx=mg    (with c=6 inches and mg=8 pounds)

K(0.5)=8               (6 inches converts to 0.5 feet)

K=16 lb/ft

The governing equation for the spring-mass system is

my''+Cy'+Ky=F  

Inserting the known values yields

0.25 y"+0.25 y'+16 y=4 cos 20 t  ----(1) (given C=0.25 lb.s/ft)

Assuming the steady state equation for y is

y=A cos 2t+ B sin 2t

To determine constants A and B, we must equate this with equation 1.

Next, we find y' and y" by differentiating with respect to t.

y'= -2A sin 2t+2B cos 2t

y"=-4A cos 2t-4B sin 2t

Now, substitute the values of y", y' and y into equation 1

0.25 (-4A cos 2t-4B sin 2t)+0.25(-2A sin 2t+2B cos 2t)+16(A cos 2t+ B sin 2t)=4 cos 20 t

By comparing coefficients on both sides

30 A+ B=8

A-30 B=0

From this, we find

A=240/901 and B=8/901

Thus, the steady state response

y= 240/901 cos 2t+ 8/901 sin 2t

Two charges of magnitude 5nC and -2nC are placed at points (2cm,0,0) and
ValentinkaMS [3465]

Answer:

20 cm

Explanation:

The electric potential energy U is calculated with the formula U = kq₁q₂/r, where q₁ = 5 nC (5 × 10⁻⁹ C) and q₂ = -2 nC (-2 × 10⁻⁹ C) and r is determined as √(x - 2)² + (0 - 0)² + (0 - 0)² = x - 2. This leads to U = -0.5 µJ (-0.5 × 10⁻⁶ J), where k = 9 × 10⁹ Nm²/C².

Thus, solving for r gives us r = kq₁q₂/U

which leads to x - 2 = kq₁q₂/U

Then, rearranging gives x = 0.02 + kq₁q₂/U m

So, x = 0.02 + 9 × 10⁹ Nm²/C² × 5 × 10⁻⁹ C × -2 × 10⁻⁹ C/-0.5 × 10⁻⁶ J

Resulting in x = 0.02 - 90 × 10⁻⁹ Nm²/-0.5 × 10⁻⁶ J

This simplifies to x = 0.02 + 0.18 = 0.2 m, or 20 cm

A rock is dropped from the top of a tall building. The rock's displacement in the last second before it hits the ground is 46 %
inna [3103]

The height measures 69.68 m

Explanation:

Given data

Before striking the ground =  46 % of the total distance

To establish

the height

Solution

We know here acceleration and displacement, which is

d = (0.5)gt²..............1

Here d is the distance, g is the acceleration, and t is time

So, when an object falls it will be

h = 4.9 t²....................2

For the first part of the inquiry

The falling objects account for

54 % of the total distance

0.54 h = 4.9 (t-1)²...................3

Thus,

Now we possess two equations with unknown variables

We can equate both equations

The first equation already solves for h

Substituting h in the second equation allows us to find t

0.54 × 4.9 t² = 4.9 (t-1)²  

t = 0.576 s and  3.771 s

We choose here 3.771 s since 0.576 s is negligible; the distance covered in the last second before it impacts the ground is 46 % of the entire fall.

Thus, selecting t = 3.771 s

Then h from equation 2

h = 4.9 t²

h = 4.9 (3.771)²

h =  69.68 m

Thus, the height is 69.68 m

A small object slides along the frictionless loop-the-loop with a diameter of 3 m. what minimum speed must it have at the top of
ValentinkaMS [3465]
<span>3.834 m/s. To solve this problem, we must ensure that the centripetal force equals or exceeds the gravitational force acting on the object. The formula for centripetal force is F = mv^2/r while the equation for gravitational force is F = ma. Since the mass (m) cancels out in both equations, we can equate them, leading to a = v^2/r. Now, inserting the given values (where the radius is half the diameter) allows us to find v: 9.8 m/s^2 <= v^2/1.5 m, which simplifies to 14.7 m^2/s^2 <= v^2. Therefore, we find that the minimum velocity required is 3.834057903 m/s <= v. Thus, the necessary speed is 3.834 m/s.</span>
