Answer:

$\huge\boxed{\sf f=0.55 \ Hz}$

Explanation:

Given Data:

Length = l = 820 mm = 0.82 m

Acceleration due to gravity = g = 9.8 ms⁻²

Required:

Frequency = f = ?

Formula:

$\displaystyle f =\frac{1}{2 \pi} \sqrt{\frac{g}{l} }$

Solution:

$\displaystyle f =\frac{1}{2 \pi} \sqrt{\frac{g}{l} } \\\\Put\ the\ givens\\\\f=\frac{1}{2 \pi} \sqrt{\frac{9.8}{0.82} }\\\\ f = 0.159 \times \sqrt{11.95} \\\\f=0.159 \times 3.457\\\\f=0.55 \ Hz\\\\\rule[225]{225}{2}$

What must be true about a surface in order for diffuse reflection to occur?

balu736 [363]

Answer:

carpet

Explanation:

Diffuse reflection is the reflection of light from a surface such that an incident ray is reflected at many angles rather than at just one angle as in the case of specular reflection.

The structure of carpet's surface is as shown. Thus it shows large amount of diffuse reflection.

If an ideal gas does not exist then why laws were stated?

mihalych1998 [28]

That is because it is impossible to create a law for the behavior of every single different gas, so creating laws for an ideal gas helps us understand the basic nature of gasses which might or might not differ slightly or a lot. By understanding how an ideal gas works, we can understand how a normal gas works.

The pressure in a traveling sound wave is given by the equation ΔP = (1.78 Pa) sin [ (0.888 m-1)x - (500 s-1)t] Find (a) the pre

frozen [14]

Answer:

a) $P_m=1.78\ Pa$

b) $f=79.5775\ Hz$

c) $\lambda=7.076\ m$

d) $v=563.06\ m.s^{-1}$

Explanation:

Given equation of pressure variation:

$\Delta P= (1.78\ Pa)\ sin\ [(0.888\ m^{-1})x-(500\ s^{-1})t]$

We have the standard equation of periodic oscillations:

$\Delta P=P_m\ sin\ (kx-\omega.t)$

By comparing, we deduce:

(a)

amplitude:

$P_m=1.78\ Pa$

(b)

angular frequency:

$\omega=2\pi.f$

$2\pi.f=500$

∴Frequency of oscillations:

$f=\frac{500}{2\pi}$

$f=79.5775\ Hz$

(c)

wavelength is given by:

$\lambda=\frac{2\pi}{k}$

$\lambda=\frac{2\pi}{0.888}$

$\lambda=7.076\ m$

(d)

Speed of the wave is gives by:

$v=\frac{\omega}{k}$

$v=\frac{500}{0.888}$

$v=563.06\ m.s^{-1}$

A particle with a mass of 0.500 kg is attached to a horizontal spring with a force constant of 50.0 N/m. At the moment t = 0, th

svp [43]

a) $x(t)=2.0 sin (10 t) [m]$

The equation which gives the position of a simple harmonic oscillator is:

$x(t)= A sin (\omega t)$

where

A is the amplitude

$\omega=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$ is the angular frequency, with k being the spring constant and m the mass

t is the time

Let's start by calculating the angular frequency:

$\omega=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{50.0 N/m}{0.500 kg}}=10 rad/s$

The amplitude, A, can be found from the maximum velocity of the spring:

$v_{max}=\omega A\\A=\frac{v_{max}}{\omega}=\frac{20.0 m/s}{10 rad/s}=2 m$

So, the equation of motion is

$x(t)= 2.0 sin (10 t) [m]$

b) t=0.10 s, t=0.52 s

The potential energy is given by:

$U(x)=\frac{1}{2}kx^2$

While the kinetic energy is given by:

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

The velocity as a function of time t is:

$v(t)=v_{max} cos(\omega t)$

The problem asks as the time t at which U=3K, so we have:

$\frac{1}{2}kx^2 = \frac{3}{2}mv^2\\kx^2 = 3mv^2\\k (A sin (\omega t))^2 = 3m (\omega A cos(\omega t))^2\\(tan(\omega t))^2=\frac{3m\omega^2}{k}$

However, $\frac{m}{k}=\frac{1}{\omega^2}$ , so we have

$(tan(\omega t))^2=\frac{3\omega^2}{\omega^2}=3\\tan(\omega t)=\pm \sqrt{3}\\$

with two solutions:

$\omega t= \frac{\pi}{3}\\t=\frac{\pi}{3\omega}=\frac{\pi}{3(10 rad/s)}=0.10 s$

$\omega t= \frac{5\pi}{3}\\t=\frac{5\pi}{3\omega}=\frac{5\pi}{3(10 rad/s)}=0.52 s$

c) 3 seconds.

When x=0, the equation of motion is:

$0=A sin (\omega t)$

so, t=0.

When x=1.00 m, the equation of motion is:

$1=A sin(\omega t)\\sin(\omega t)=\frac{1}{A}=\frac{1}{2}\\\omega t= 30\\t=\frac{30}{\omega}=\frac{30}{10 rad/s}=3 s$

So, the time needed is 3 seconds.

d) 0.097 m

The period of the oscillator in this problem is:

$T=\frac{2\pi}{\omega}=\frac{2\pi}{10 rad/s}=0.628 s$

The period of a pendulum is:

$T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}$

where L is the length of the pendulum. By using T=0.628 s, we find

$L=\frac{T^2g}{(2\pi)^2}=\frac{(0.628 s)^2(9.8 m/s^2)}{(2\pi)^2}=0.097 m$
