One end of a string is attached to an object of mass M, and the other end of the string is secured so that the object is at rest as it hangs from the string. When the object is raised to a position X that is a height H above its lowest point and released from rest, the object undergoes simple harmonic motion. When the object passes through the equilibrium position Y, it has a speed v0.

What methods could a student use to determine the total mechanical energy E at position Y, and why?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

 v₀ = [tex]\sqrt{2gH}[/tex]

to determine this speed experimentally, the student must measure the height of the body as a function of time and with equation (1) he can find the speed for each point of interest

Explanation:

In this internal exercise the student must use the conservation of mechanical energy,

Starting point. Highest point of the trajectory

         Em₀ = U = m g H

Point of interest. Point at height Y

         [tex]Em_{f}[/tex] = K + U = ½ m v² + m g Y

energy is conserved

          Em₀ = Em_{f}

          m g H = ½ m v² + m g Y

          v² = 2 g (H -Y)             (1)

in this case they indicate that Y is the equilibrium position whereby Y = 0 and the velocity is v = v₀

          v₀ = [tex]\sqrt{2gH}[/tex]

Therefore, to determine this speed experimentally, the student must measure the height of the body as a function of time and with equation (1) he can find the speed for each point of interest

Tarzan (who has mass 80.0 kg) is running across the jungle floor with speed 7.00 m/s as
shown in Figure 1. Tarzan grabs a large bunch of bananas (15.0 kg) and grabs a vine in an attempt to swing up to his monkey who is 3.00 m above him as in Figure 2.

i. What is Tarzan’s momentum before he grabs the bananas? [2 points]
ii. What is Tarzan’s speed just after he grabs the bananas? [4 points]
iii. Can Tarzan swing high enough to reach his monkey? Justify your answer. [2 points]

Answers

We are given:

Mass of Tarzan before swinging = 80 kg

Mass of Tarzan when swinging = 80 + 15 = 95 kg

Velocity of Tarzan = 7 m/s

The height of the rock Tarzan's monkey is sitting on = 3 m

__________________________________________________________

Momentum of Tarzan before swinging:

We know that:

Momentum = Mass*Velocity

Momentum = 80 * 7

Momentum = 560 kg m/s

__________________________________________________________

Speed of Tarzan after grabbing the bananas:

The momentum of Tarzan will remain the same but his mass will increase

So, Since Momentum = New Mass* velocity

560 = 95 * v                           [where v is the velocity of Tarzan]

v = 5.9 m/s

__________________________________________________________

Finding the Initial and Final KE and PE:

Here, KE = Kinetic Energy and PE = Potential Energy

Initial and Final KE:

We know that KE = 1/2*(mv²)

Initial KE:

Initial KE = 1/2*(mv²)          [where v is the velocity after picking the bananas]

Initial KE = 1/2*(95*5.9²)

Initial KE = 1653.5 Joules

Final KE:

Final KE = 1/2*(mv²)            

[where v is the velocity at the maximum point of the swing]

Since Tarzan will be at rest at the maximum point of the swing, v = 0 m/s

Final KE = 1/2*(95*0²)

Final KE = 0 Joules

Initial and Final PE:

We know that:

PE = mgh                

[where g is the acceleration due to gravity and h is the height]

Initial PE:

Since the height of Tarzan from the ground was 0 m at the beginning of the swing, h = 0

Initial PE = 95*10*0

Initial PE = 0 Joules

Final PE:

Let the maximum height of Tarzan be h m

Final PE = 95*10*h

Final PE = 950(h)

__________________________________________________________

Finding the maximum height Tarzan will reach:

Here, KE = Kinetic Energy and PE = Potential Energy

From the law of conservation of momentum, we know that:

Initial KE + Initial PE = Final KE + Final PE

Replacing the variables:

1653.5 + 0 = 0 + 950h

1653.5 = 950h

h = 1653.5/950         [dividing both sides by 950]

h = 1.74 m

Therefore, the maximum height reached by Tarzan is 1.74 m

but since his monkey is sitting 3 m high, he will NOT be able to reach his monkey

You push a manual lawn mower across the lawn at constant speed. What is the value of the coefficient of friction between the mower and the grass

Answers

Answer:

0.27

Explanation:

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:

You are pushing a 13.3 kg lawn mower across the lawn with a force of 200 N. What is the value of the coefficient of friction between the mower and the grass if the mower moves with a constant velocity? The force is applied downward at an angle of 65° with the horizontal.

According to Newton's second law of motion:

[tex]\sum F_x= ma_x\\F_{app} - F_f = ma_x\\[/tex]

[tex]F_f = \mu R\\[/tex]

[tex]F_{app} - \mu Rcos \theta = ma_x[/tex]

Fapp is the applied force = 200N

Ff is the frictional force

[tex]\mu[/tex] is the coefficient of friction between the mower and the grass

R is the reaction

m is the mass of the object

ax is the acceleration

Given

R = mg = 13.3*9.8

R = 130.34N

m = 13.3kg

ax  = 0m/s² (constant velocity)

Fapp = 200N

[tex]\theta = 65^0[/tex]

Substitute the given parameters into the formula and get the coefficient of friction as shown;

Recall that: [tex]F_f = \mu R\\[/tex]

[tex]\mu = \frac{F_f}{R}\\\mu = \frac{F_{x}cos65}{F_y+W} \\\mu =\frac{ 200cos65}{200sin65+13.3(9.8)}\\\mu = \frac{84.52}{181.26+130.34}\\\mu = \frac{84.52}{311.6}\\\mu = 0.27[/tex]

Hence the coefficient of friction between the mower and the grass is 0.27

g A 240-kg merry-go-round in the shape of a uniform, solid, horizontal disk of radius 1.50 m is set in motion by wrapping a rope about the rim of the disk and pulling on the rope. What constant force would have to be exerted on the rope to bring the merry-go-round from rest to an angular speed of 0.600 rev/s in 2.00 s

Answers

Answer:

339.3 N

Explanation:

First, we start by converting the units.

1 rev/s = 2π rad/s, so

0.6 rev/s = 2π * 0.6 rad/s

0.6 rev/s = 1.2π rad/s

0.6 rev/s = 3.77 rad/s

Now we apply the equation of motion,

W(f) = w(o) + αt

3.77 = 0 + α * 2

3.77 = 2α

α = 3.77/2

α = 1.885 rad/s²

Torque = I * α

Torque = F * r

This means that

I * α = F * r, where I = 1/2mr²

Substituting for I, we have

1/2mr²α = F * r, making F the subject of formula, we have

F = 1/2mrα, then we substitute for the values

F = 1/2 * 240 * 1.5 * 1.885

F = 678.6 / 2

F = 339.3 N

A teacher does a demonstration in front of a class. For the demonstration, a motion sensor is placed at the end of a long, horizontal track of negligible friction. A force sensor is used to pull a cart of known mass along the track, and the motion sensor tracks the motion of the cart. For several positions of the cart, a computer records the reading on the force sensor and the reading on the motion sensor for both the speed of the cart and the distance the cart moves away from the motion sensor. Based on only these data, which of the following scientific hypotheses could a student test?

a. The force exerted on the cart is directly proportional to the time the cart has moved.
b. The gravitational acceleration for an object on Earth is constant near Earth's surface.
с. The net work done on the cart is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the cart.
d. As the force the sensor exerts on the cart increases, so does the acceleration of the cart.
e. Earth's gravitational force is a conservative force.

Answers

Answer:

с. The net work done on the cart is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the cart.

Explanation:

In the context, a motion sensor detects the motion of the cart where a cart is used to move using a force sensor that is attached to the cart of certain mass. As the cart moves with a speed at a particular time, the computer records both the readings on the force sensor as well as the motion sensor. From these readings the is can be concluded that the work done on the cart is same as the change in the kinetic energy in the cart.
