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 simple harmonic oscillator completes 1550 cycles in 30 min. (a) Calculate the period. s (b) Calculate the frequency of the mot

nordsb [41]

Answer:

(a) 1.16 s

(b)0.861 Hz

Explanation:

(a) Period : The period of a simple harmonic motion is the time in seconds, required for a object undergoing oscillation to complete one cycle.

From the question,

If 1550 cycles is completed in (30×60) seconds,

1 cycle is completed in x seconds

x = 30×60/1550

x = 1.16 s

Hence the period is 1.16 seconds.

(b) Frequency : This can be defined as the number of cycles that is completed in one seconds, by an oscillating body. The S.I unit of frequency is Hertz (Hz).

Mathematically, Frequency is given as

F = 1/T ........................... Equation 1

Where F = frequency, T = period.

Given: T = 1.16 s.

Substitute into equation 1

F = 1/1.16

F = 0.862 Hz

Hence thee frequency = 0.862 Hz

A 67 kg soccer player uses 5100 kJ of energy during a 2.0 h match. What is the

Oksanka [162]

The average power produced by the soccer player is 710 Watts.

Given the data in the question;

Mass of the soccer player; $m = 67kg$

Energy used by the soccer player; $E = 5100KJ = 5100000J$

Time; $t = 2.0h = 7200s$

Power; $P =\ ?$

Power is simply the amount of energy converted or transferred per unit time. It is expressed as:

$Power = \frac{Energy\ converted }{time}$

We substitute our given values into the equation

$Power = \frac{5100000J}{7200s}\\\\Power = 708.33J/s \\\\Power = 710J/s \ \ \ \ \ [ 2\ Significant\ Figures]\\\\Power = 710W$

Therefore, the average power produced by the soccer player is 710 Watts.

Two identical bowling balls are rolling on a horizontal floor without slipping. The initial speed of both balls is v = 10 m/s. B

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

The difference between frictionless ramp and a regular ramp is that on a frictionless ramp the ball cannot roll it can only slide, but on a regular ramp the ball can roll without slipping.

We will use conversation of energy.

$K_A_1 + U_A_1 = K_A_2 + U_A_2\\\frac{1}{2}I\omega^2 + \frac{1}{2}mv^2 + 0 = 0 + mgH_A$

Note that initial potential energy is zero because the ball is on the bottom, and the final kinetic energy is zero because the ball reaches its maximum vertical distance and stops.

For the ball B;

$K_B_1 + U_B_1 = K_B_2 + U_B_2$

$\frac{1}{2}I_B\omega^2 + \frac{1}{2}mv^2 + 0 = 0 + mgH_B$

The initial velocities of the balls are equal. Their maximum climbing point will be proportional to their final potential energy. Since their initial kinetic energies are equal, their final potential energies must be equal as well.

Hence, both balls climb the same point.
