A simple pendulum is suspended from the ceiling by means of a string and has a length of 1.56 m long. Suppose you start with the pendulum hanging vertically, at rest. You then give it a push so that it starts swinging with a speed of 1.73 m/s. What maximum angle (in degrees) will it reach, with respect to the vertical, before falling back down? 38.3 degrees 31.9 degrees 25.5 degrees 20.4 degrees
A 0.20-kg mass is attached to a string and then released from rest, swinging in an arc as a pendulum. At the bottom of it swing, where it is 0.80 m above the floor, the string is cut and the mass becomes a projectile. It stricks the floor 0.56 meters (horizontally) from the point it was cut. From what height was the mass originally released?
A block of mass mA = 20kg on an inclined plane and a bucket of mass mbucket = 14kg are attached to the ends of a massless string passing through a massless pulley as shown in the figure below. The inclined plane makes an angle of 0 = 37° with the horizontal and the coefficients of kinetic and static friction are μ = 0.2 and μ = 0.5. The system is initially at rest and a student starts to fill the bucket with balls, each of whose mass is 100 grams, one at a time until the system starts to move. Determine the number of balls the student placed in the bucket. Take g = 9.80m/s² and please note that the number balls must be an integer! Answer: MA mbucket
A 0.28 kg mass is held against a compressed spring with a spring constant of 2,446 N/m. The mass is initially at rest upon a horizontal surface and the spring force is directed parallel to the plane of the surface. If the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.716, with what speed does the mass leave contact with the spring if the spring is initially compressed by 0.068 m?
An inclined plane of angle 0 20.0° has a spring of force constant k = 525 N/m fastened securely at the bottom so that the spring is parallel to the surface as shown in the figure below. A block of mass m = 2.61 kg is placed on the plane at a distance d 0.315 m from the spring. From this position, the block is projected downward toward the spring with speed v = 0.750 m/s. By what distance is the spring compressed when the block momentarily comes to rest? Enter a number. differs from the correct answer by more than 10%. Double check your calculations. m m
A simple pendulum is made from a 0.666-m-long string and a small ball attached to its free end. After the ball is released pulled to one side through a small angle and then released from rest. After the ball is released, how much time elapses before it attains its greatest speed?
Hanging Mass: A block of mass 14.1 kg is connected to a light cord of length 351.3 cm and a spring with an equilibrium length of 33.4 cm. The block hangs motionless as shown in the figure. The spring has a spring constant of 1799 N/ m. As the block hangs in equilibrium, the spring is horizontal and the cord makes an angle of 24 ° with respect to vertical. T k M (a) What is the tension in the cord? (b) How far is the spring stretched from its equilibrium length?
A block of mass m = 2.00 kg situated on a rough incline at an angle of 8 = 37.0° is connected to a spring of negligible mass having a spring constant of 100 N/m (see the figure below). The pulley is frictionelss. The block is released from rest when the spring is unstretched. The block moves 10.0 cm down the incline before coming to rest. Find the coefficient of kinetic friction between block and incline. k = 100 N/m www 8 m
I'm trying to find the block's velocity once it leaves the spring. A block of mass, 1.8 kg is attached and secured to an end of a spring with a spring constant of 10,000 N/cm. The other end of the spring is secured to the wall. The block is pushed against the spring, which compresses the spring to a position of x = -0.04 cm. When uncompressed, the end of the spring that is attached to the block is at a position of x = 0.00 cm. The block/spring system is then released from rest, and the block travels along a rough horizontal track for the length of the spring. At 0.00 cm the surface changes. Can you help me calculate the block's velocity once it leaves the spring? Thank you.
The system is released from rest with no slack in the cable and with the spring unstretched. Determine the distances traveled by the 4.5-kg cart before it comes to rest (a) if m approaches zero and (b) if m= 2.8 kg. Assume no mechanical interference and no friction. The distances is positive if up the incline, negative if down. k = 160 N/m 4.5 kg m Answers: (a) m = 0, S= i (b) m = 2.8 kg, S= i 28° m m
A block of mass ? = 0.25 kg is connected to a vertically oriented spring with a force constant of ? = 50 N/m by a massless string that passes over a massless and frictionless pulley, as shown in the figure. The system is at equilibrium. If released from rest, how much does the block descend before it comes to rest momentarily?
Two blocks of mass mA=6.8kg and mg=9kg are attached to the ends of a massless string which passes through a pulley of radius R=35cm and mass M=7.3 kg.
