Position is measured in meters (m), so it is a base quantity.

<h3>What is base quantity?</h3>

A base or fundamental quantity is a physical quantity, in which other quantities are derived from.

Example of fundamental quantities;

Mass
Length (position)
Time
Temperature
Amount of substance

<h3>What is a derived quantity?</h3>

Derived quantities are those quantities obtained or expressed from fundamental quantities.

Example of derived quantities;

Speed
Acceleration
Volume
Area
Density, etc

Thus, we can conclude that position measured in meters (m) is a base quantity.

A surgical microscope weighing 200 lb is hung from a ceiling by four springs with stiffness 25 lb/ft. The ceiling has a vibratio

Nikitich [7]

Answer:

If there is no damping, the amount of transmitted vibration that the microscope experienced is = $5.676*10^{-3} \ mm$

Explanation:

The motion of the ceiling is y = Y sinωt

y = 0.05 sin (2 π × 2) t

y = 0.05 sin 4 π t

K = 25 lb/ft × 4 sorings

K = 100 lb/ft

Amplitude of the microscope $\frac{X}{Y}= [\frac{1+2 \epsilon (\omega/ W_n)^2}{(1-(\frac{\omega}{W_n})^2)^2+(2 \epsilon \frac{\omega}{W_n})^2}]$

where;

$\epsilon = 0$

$W_n = \sqrt { \frac{k}{m}}$

= $\sqrt { \frac{100*32.2}{200}}$

= 4.0124

replacing them into the above equation and making X the subject of the formula:

$X =$ $Y * \frac{1}{\sqrt{(1-(\frac{\omega}{W_n})^2)^2})}}$

$X =$ $0.05 * \frac{1}{\sqrt{(1-(\frac{4 \pi}{4.0124})^2)^2})}}$

$X =$ $5.676*10^{-3} \ mm$

Therefore; If there is no damping, the amount of transmitted vibration that the microscope experienced is = $5.676*10^{-3} \ mm$

Two 5.0 kilogram objects have different gravitational potential energies. What property of the objects must differ?

ipn [44]

Answer:

Height.

Explanation:

Potential energy can be defined as an energy possessed by an object or body due to its position.

Mathematically, potential energy is given by the formula;

$P.E = mgh$

Where,

P.E represents potential energy measured in Joules.

m represents the mass of an object.

g represents acceleration due to gravity measured in meters per seconds square.

h represents the height measured in meters.

Hence, the property of the object (having a mass of 5 kilograms) which must differ to have different gravitational potential energies is the height from which they are falling from.

The object having the higher height would have a greater gravitational potential energy than the lower object.
