10. A safe place to use the trebuchet would be away from other buildings and people. A good example of a place would be a large field with no nearby structures.
14. Many factors need to be kept consistent throughout the experiment. One example of a variable that would need to be consistent is the weight and size of the projectile.
15. It is important to do many trials so that you can make sure that the results of each trial are nearly the same. If they are all vastly different, then it means that something has gone wrong.

Sorry I was only able to answer a few questions, but I hope these few answers help! :)

A block rides on a piston that is moving vertically with simple harmonic motion. (a) If the SHM has period 2.68 s, at what ampli

fredd [130]

Answer:

Part a)

$A = 1.78 m$

Part b)

$f = 2 rev/s$

Explanation:

Part A)

As we know that time period of the motion is given as

$T = 2.68 s$

so we have

$\omega = \frac{2\pi}{T}$

$\omega = \frac{2\pi}{2.68}$

$\omega = 2.34 rad/s$

now at the point of maximum amplitude the force equation when Normal force is about to zero is given as

$mg = m\omega^2 A$

so we have

$A = \frac{g}{\omega^2}$

$A = \frac{9.81}{2.34^2}$

$A = 1.78 m$

Part b)

Now if the amplitude of the SHM is 6.23 cm

and now at this amplitude if object will lose the contact then in that case again we have

$mg = m\omega^2 A$

$g = \omega^2 (0.0623)$

$\omega = 12.5 rad/s$

so now we have

$2\pi f = 12.5$

$f = 2 rev/s$

What is the Gravitational Potential Energy of a 30 kg box lifted 1.5 meters off the ground?

juin [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

The potential energy of a body can be found by using the formula

PE = mgh

where

m is the mass

h is the height

g is the acceleration due to gravity which is 9.8 m/s²

From the question we have

PE = 30 × 9.8 × 1.5

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

Identify two structural characteristics specific to muscle tissue.

Semmy [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Muscle cells are excitable; they respond to a stimulus.meaning they can shorten and generate a pulling force. When attached between two movable objects, such as two bones, contraction of the muscles cause the bones to move.It contains protein fibers which contract to make the cell shorter.

What is the equivalent resistance if you connect three 10.0 Ω resistors in series?

Sonja [21]

Req = 30.0Ω.

When two or more resistors are in series, the intensity of current that passes through each of them is the same. Therefore, if you notice, you can observe that the three previous series resistors are equivalent to a single resistance whose value is the sum of each one.

Req = R1 + R2 + R3 = 10.0Ω + 10.0Ω + 10.0Ω = 30.0Ω
