Displacement is the shortest distance travelled...

hence in this case the displacement will simply be 12m

Answer:

Displacement, d = 12 meters

Explanation:

The displacement of an object that moves from the origin to a position at −12 m is 12 meters.

The distance from the origin to the maximum position is called displacement of an object. The maximum displacement of the particle in a wave is called crest and the minimum displacement is called the trough. -12 shows the displacement in negative axis.

So, the displacement of an object is 12 meters.

You hang different masses M from the lower end of a vertical spring and measure the period T for each value of M. You use Excel

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

a)693.821N/m

b)17.5g

Explanation:

We the Period T we can find the constant k,

That is

$T = 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}$

squaring on both sides,

$T^2=\frac{4\pi^2}{k}M +\frac{4\pi^2}{k}m_{spring}$

where,

M=hanging mass, m = spring mass,

k =spring constant

T =time period

a) So for the equation we can compare, that is,

$y=T^2=0.0569x+0.0010$

the hanging mass M is x here, so comparing the equation we know that

$\frac{4\pi^2}{k}=0.0569\\k= \frac{4\pi^2}{0.0569}\\k=693.821N/m$

b) In order to find the mass of the spring we make similar process, so comparing,

$\frac{4\pi^2}{k}m =0.001\\m=\frac{0.004k}{4\pi^2} =\frac{0.001*693.821}{4\pi^2}\\m=0.0175kg\\m=17.5g$

two masses m1 and m2 fall freely with the same height which will hit the ground first ?reason for the answer.

Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

They land at the same time.

Explanation:

Two masses falling through a vacuum (no air resistance or buoyancy forces) will accelerate at the same rate when dropped from the same height. Therefore, despite having different masses, they land at the same time.

Why is it hard to breathe when you go higher up

Fantom [35]

When we breathe in air at sea level, the atmospheric pressure of about 14.7 pounds per square inch (1.04 kg. per cm.2) causes oxygen to easily pass through selectively permeable lung membranes into the blood. At high altitudes, the lower air pressure makes it more difficult for oxygen to enter our vascular systems.

hope this helps :)
