A mass M is suspended from a spring and oscillates with a period of 0.840 s. Each complete oscillation results in an amplitude r

eduction of a factor of 0.96 due to a small velocity dependent frictional effect.
Calculate the time it takes for the total energy of the oscillator to decrease to 0.50 of its initial value (The amplitude after N oscillations=(initial amplitude)x(factor)^N).

The time it takes for the total energy of the oscillator to decrease to 0.50 of its initial value

t= 14.448 s

This is further explained below.

<h3>What is an oscillator?</h3>

An electronic oscillator is a circuit that generates a periodic, oscillating electronic signal. This signal is often a sine wave, but it may also be a square wave or a triangle wave. Oscillators are devices that change the direct current that is supplied by a power source into an alternating current signal.

Generally, the equation for amplitude  is  mathematically given as

A_n = A_0(0.96)^n

equal to the half-energy amplitude

A_0(0.96)^n =\frac{ A_0}{\sqrt{2}}

lnA_0(0.96)^n = ln\frac{Ao}{\sqrt{2}}

ln(A_0)+n*ln(0.98) = ln(A_0)-ln(\sqrt{2})

n = 17.2

In conclusion, the time is

t = nT

t= 14.448 s

Two cars start from rest at a red stop light. When the light turns green, both cars accelerate forward. The blue car accelerates
marta [7]
First, create an illustration of the motion of the two cars as shown in the attached picture. The essential equations used are:

For constant acceleration:
a = v,final - v,initial /t
d = v,initial*t + 1/2*at²

For constant velocity:
d = constant velocity*time

The solutions is as follows:

   a = v,final - v,initial /t
  3.8 = (v₁ - 0)/4.6 s
  v₁ = 17.48 m/s

    Total distance = d1 + d2 + d3
    d1 = d = v,initial*t + 1/2*at²
    d2 = constant velocity*time
    
   Total distance =  0*(4.6) + 1/2*(3.8)(4.6)² + (17.48)(9.2) + d3= 257.71
   d3 = 56.69 m

What are some ways that electric fields are similar to magnetic fields?
sattari [20]

Answer:

The correct answers are the proportionality of the fields concerning distance, vector fields, and forces at a distance.

Explanation:

The similarities between magnetic fields and electric fields are that electric fields are produced by two charges that can be positive and negative. Magnetic fields are associated with two magnetic poles, although they are also produced by moving charges. Both fields are inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the sources, both fields are vectorial and both act by distant forces.

Have a nice day!

During nuclear fission and fusion, matter that seems to disappear is actually converted into
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

Energy (I need one more brainlist can i has?)

Explanation:

- Nuclear fusion occurs when two light nuclei fuse together into a heavier nucleus

- Nuclear fission occurs when a heavy, unstable nucleus breaks apart into two or more lighter nuclei

In both processes, the mass of the products is always smaller than the mass of the initial nuclei. This means that part of the initial mass has been converted into something else: into energy, which is released in the process.

The amount of energy released in the process can be calculated by using the famous Einstein's equivalence:

where m is the difference between the mass of the product and the initial mass of the nuclei, and c is the speed of light.

How can you use distance and displacement to describe an object's motion​
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

distance can describe the total distance moved and displacement shows how far something has moved from its starting position (in a straight line from point a to point b) the object doesn't have to move in a straight line, but that is how displacement is measured

Winds tend to rotate in a counter clockwise direction in the ___ (northern or southern) Hemisphere as they move into a low press
lana [24]

Answer:

Winds tend to rotate in a counter clockwise direction in the center of northern and southern hemisphere.

Explanation:

The wind blows clockwise around a high pressure area  in the northern hemisphere and the wind blows counter - clockwise around low pressure.  

In the northern hemisphere High-pressure systems rotate clockwise direction and in the southern hemisphere  low-pressure systems rotate clockwise direction.
