Describe a system in which elastic potential energy is stored.
Assume that a pendulum used to drive a grandfather clock has a length L0=1.00 m and a mass M at temperature T=20.00 °C. It can be modeled as a physical pendulum as a rod oscillating around one end. By what percentage will the period change if the temperature increases by 10°C? Assume the length of the rod changes linearly with temperature, where L=L0(1+T) and the rod is made of (=18106C1) .
A spring has a length of 0.200 m when a 0.300-kg mass hangs from it, and a length of 0.750 m when a 1.95-kg mass hangs from it. (a) What is the force constant of the spring? (b) What is the unloaded length of the spring?
Parcels of air (small volumes of air) in a stable atmosphere (where the temperature increases with height) can oscillate up and down, due to the restoring force provided by the buoyancy of the air parcel. The frequency of the oscillations are a measure of the stability of the atmosphere. Assuming that the acceleration of an air parcel can be modeled as 2zt2=g(z)0zz , prove that z=z0etN2 is a solution, where N is known as the Brunt-Väisälä frequency. Note that in a stable atmosphere, the density decreases with height and parcel oscillates up and down.
(a) Seismographs measure the arrival times of earthquakes with a precision of 0.100 s. To get the distance to the epicenter of the quake, geologists compare the arrival times of S- and P-waves, which travel at different speeds. If S- and P-waves travel at 4.00 and 7.20 km/s, respectively, in the region considered, how precisely can the distance to the source of the earthquake be determined? (b) Seismic waves from underground detonations of nuclear bombs can be used to locate the test site and detect violations of test bans. Discuss whether your answer to (a) implies a serious limit to such detection. (Note also that the uncertainty is greater if there is an uncertainty in the propagation speeds of the S- and P-waves.)
Integrated Concepts A toy gun uses a spring with a force constant of 300 N/m to propel a 10.0-g steel ball. If the spring is compressed 7.00 cm and friction is negligible: (a) How much force is needed to compress the spring? (b) To what maximum height can the ball be shot? (c) At what angles above the horizontal may a child aim to hit a target 3.00 m away at the same height as the gun? (d) What is the gun's maximum range on level ground?
Q # 01: Consider a ball of 100g dropped with zero velocity from the height of 2m. Estimate its total energy in eV units. Using the energy conservation, find out the velocity as a function of position of the ball. Sketch its phase trajectory. Calculate the time it takes to reach the ground. Let’s assume that it is bounced back with no loss in its total energy.Will it reachthe same height? Make an analytical argument. What if the collision with the ground is not elastic and it loses some of its energy (which energy?).The ball will eventually come to rest after bouncing few times. Sketch the phase trajectory for the whole duration. What is the range of total energy of this system? Can the energy of this systemassume discrete values? Explain mathematically.
A 200 g mass is attached to a spring, just like in activity 17c. The mass is lifted up 5 cm and released so that it begins to oscillate about the equilibrium point. The spring has a spring constant of k=500 N/m (500 J/m2). b) On the same graph, quickly sketch (without calculating values) the PEspring-mass, Etotal, and KE of the system if the mass were initially pulled back (Stretched) 2.5 cm from its equilibrium point, instead of lifted up (compressed) 5 cm.
