Chapter 1: Q80P (page 1)

A 40.0-N force stretches a vertical spring 0.250 m. (a) What mass must be suspended from the spring so that the system will oscillate with a period of 1.00 s? (b) If the amplitude of the motion is 0.050 m and the period is that specified in part (a), where is the object and in what direction is it moving 0.35 s after it has passed the equilibrium position, moving downward? (c) What force (magnitude and direction) does the spring exert on the object when it is 0.030 m below the equilibrium position, moving upward?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) 4.05 kg

Step by step solution

01

Given Data

\(\begin{aligned}{c}{\rm{force}}\;(F) = 40\;{\rm{N}}\\{\rm{distance,}}\;x = 0.25\;{\rm{m}}\\{\rm{period}},\;T = 1\;{\rm{s}}\\{\rm{Amplitude}},\;A = 0.05\;{\rm{m}}\end{aligned}\)

02

Concept

The equilibrium position means when the state of motion of a system or its internal energy never changes with time.

03

Step 3(a): Find the mass

Force in spring by Applying Hook’s law,

\(\begin{aligned}{c}\left| F \right| = kx\\40 = k\left( {0.25} \right)\\k = 160\;{\rm{N/m}}\end{aligned}\)

Time period,

\(\begin{aligned}{c}T = 2\pi \sqrt {\frac{m}{k}} \\1 = 2\pi \sqrt {\frac{m}{{160}}} \\m = \frac{{160}}{{{{\left( {2\pi } \right)}^2}}}\\ = 4.05\;{\rm{kg}}\end{aligned}\)

Hence, the mass is 4.05kg.

A Tennis Serve. In the fastest measured tennis serve, the ball left the racquet at 73.14m/s. A served tennis ball is typically in contact with the racquet for30.0and starts from rest. Assume constant acceleration. (a) What was the ball’s acceleration during this serve? (b) How far did the ball travel during the serve?

In March 2006, two small satellites were discovered orbiting Pluto, one at a distance of 48,000 km and the other at 64,000 km. Pluto already was known to have a large satellite Charon, orbiting at 19,600 km with an orbital period of 6.39 days. Assuming that the satellites do not affect each other, find the orbital periods of the two small satellites withoutusing the mass of Pluto.

Question- Neptunium. In the fall of 2002, scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory determined that the critical mass of neptunium-237 is about 60 kg. The critical mass of a fissionable material is the minimum amount that must be brought together to start a nuclear chain reaction. Neptunium-237 has a density of 19.5 g/cm3. What would be the radius of a sphere of this material that has a critical mass?

Can you find a vector quantity that has a magnitude of zero but components that are not zero? Explain. Can the magnitude of a vector be less than the magnitude of any of its components? Explain.
