Answer:

Because in both kind of motions, the position is periodically repeated. Both are simple harmonic motions.

Explanation:

Moving back and forth means that the moving object goes through the same position every time a certain period of time elapses.

The same is true for the circular motion, every time the object completes a turn, the object is in the same position.

They are examples of simple harmonic motions. The time it takes the object to repeat a complete cycle is called period.

Therefore, in a grahp of position versus time, the curve that represents the position repeats itself every so often equal to one period, both for moving back and forth and for moving in a circle.

A solid block is attached to a spring scale. When the block is suspended in air, the scale reads 20.1 N; when it is completely i

Paha777 [63]

Answer:

A) $V = 4.92 \cdot 10^{-4} m^{3} = 492 cm^{3}$

B) $d = 4181.49 kg/m^{3} = 4.18 g/cm^{3}$

Explanation:

A) Using the Archimedes' force we can find the weight of water displaced:

$W_{d} = W_{a} - W_{w}$

Where:

$W_{a}$ : is the weight of the block in the air = 20.1 N

$W_{w}$ : is the weight of the block in the water = 15.3 N

$W_{d} = W_{a} - W_{w} = 20.1 N - 15.3 N = 4.8 N$

Now, the mass of the water displaced is:

$m = \frac{W_{d}}{g} = \frac{4.8 N}{9.81 m/s^{2}} = 0.49 kg$

The volume of the block can be found using the mass of water displaced and the density of the water:

$V = \frac{m}{d} = \frac{0.49 kg}{997 kg/m^{3}} = 4.92 \cdot 10^{-4} m^{3} = 492 cm^{3}$

B) The density of the block can be found as follows:

$d = \frac{W_{a}}{g*V} = \frac{20.1 N}{9.81 m/s^{2}*4.92 \cdot 10^{-4} m^{3}} = 4181.49 kg/m^{3} = 4.18 g/cm^{3}$

I hope it helps you!

Calculate the average velocity of a motor cycle that travels 72km/hr in 20 seconds

olchik [2.2K]

Velocity =displacement
Change in time
D=72km/hr
Time=20s
But the S.I unit of velocity is m/s so you woul have to change 72km/hr to m/s

Changing 72km to m

1 kilometer=1000meters
Then, 72 kilometers =?

72•1000/1
=72000m

Changing 72hours to seconds

If 1 hour = 3600 seconds
Then 72 hours=?

72•3600/1

=259200 seconds

Velocity =displacement
Change in time

V= 72,000
259,2005
=0.028m/s
