  • Calculating Speed

    The vertical velocity will be zero. Time taken to fall a distance of 1.20 m with a zero vertical velocity, h = ½gt2 This Solution contains over 100 words and calculations to aid you in understanding the Solution to these questions.

  • Spring constant problem: Work done, speed of block, maximum compression

    What about after the collision? Well the box is stopped with no velocity and its height, by our definition, is 0. Thus the box has no KE or PE. For the spring, its only energy now is the energy it stored in the collision with the box.

    τ = dL/dt where angular momentum L = Moment on inertia x Angular velocity = Iω τdt = d(Iω) = Idω ........(1) Initial torque acting on the bar = τ = 1000h Nm Time duration of force dt = 0.03 sec Moment of inertia of the rod about an

  • Spring Constant and Stored Energy

    Here, when the object hits and compresses the spring, the energy gets stored in the spring as its potential energy, which has the form PE = (1/2) k l^2 where l is the distance by which it is compressed (or stretched) and k is the force constant of

  • Relative Initial Speed Calculated

    orbit Substituting values, we get: PE = - (6.67x10-11)(6x1024)(1.47)/(8700x103) = - 67.7 x 106 Joule It may be noted that PE of the satellite is negative and double of the KE in magnitude.
