Answer:

5/12

Explanation:

Given

x = 10 sin (πt + π/3)

v = distance/time

So, v = dx/dt

Differentiating x with respect to t

v = 10π cos(πt + π/3)

Also,

½kx² = ½mv²

Substituting values for x and v in the above equation

½k(10sin (πt + π/3))² = ½m(10πcos(πt + π/3))²

Divide through by ½

k(10sin (πt + π/3))² = m(10πcos(πt + π/3))²

Open both bracket

100ksin²(πt + π/3) = 100mπ²cos²(πt + π/3)

Divide through by 100

ksin²(πt + π/3) = mπ²cos²(πt + π/3)

Divide through by kcos²(πt + π/3)

ksin²(πt + π/3) ÷ kcos²(πt + π/3) = mπ²cos²(πt + π/3) ÷ kcos²(πt + π/3)

tan²(πt + π/3) = mπ²/k

tan²(πt + π/3) = (m/k)π²

But w² = k/m and w = 2π/T

(2π/T)² = k/m

(2π)²/T² = k/m

1/T² = k/m ÷ (2π)²

1/T² = k/m*(2π)²

T² = m(2π)²/k

From the Question, T is when πt = 2π or T = 2

Substitute 2 for T in the above equation

2² = m(2π)²/k

4 = m(2π)²/k

4 = 4π²m/k

m/k = 1/π²

(m/k)π² = 1

Remember that tan²(πt + π/3) = (m/k)π²

So, tan²(πt + π/3) = 1

This gives

πt + π/3 = 45° = π/4

πt + π/3 = π/4

Divide through by π

t + ⅓ = ¼

t = ¼ - ⅓

t = -1/12 --- Negative

Using the second quadrant

πt + π/3 = 3π/4

Divide through by π

t + ⅓ = ¾

t = ¾ - ⅓

t = 5/12

A hiker determines the length of a lake by listening for the echo of her shout reflected by a cliff at the far end of the lake.
Nataliya [291]

To solve the exercise it is necessary to take into account the definition of speed as a function of distance and time, and the speed of air in the sound, as well

v=\frac{d}{t}

Where,

V= Velocity

d= distance

t = time

Re-arrange the equation to find the distance we have,

d=vt

Replacing with our values

d= (343)(3.7)

d= 1269.1m

It is understood that the sound comes and goes across the entire lake therefore, the length of the lake is half the distance found, that is

L_{lake} = \frac{d}{2}

L_{lake} = \frac{1269.1}{2}

L_{lake} = 634.55m

Therefore the length of the lake is 634,55m

nalin [4]

Answer: Dependent Unit or System of Units

Explanation:

Density is calculated by dividing mass (Kg) by volume (L).

The unit of Density is Kg/L or one of their derivatives such as g/cm³.

The battery charger for an mp3 player contains a step-down transformer with a turns ratio of 1:24, so that the voltage of 120 v
miskamm [114]
Considering that we are talking about a stepdown transformer, and a turn ration of 1:24

Then

Vsecondary coil = 120 V / 24 = 5V

(But lets remember that the power must be conserved in the transformer, so the voltage is 24 times less, but the current is 24 times higher)

It provides 5 volts to operate the player or charge the batteries

Explain why a diverging lens is used to correct nearsightedness (difficulty seeing objects far away).
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

so that it can diverge the light to make sure that it focused on the ratina and the image is formed.

Explanation:

nearsightedness is when the light is focused in front of the ratina and for an image to be formed in the eye, the light must be focused on the ratina so to correct that we use the diverging lenses so that it will diverge the light and allow the cornea and the lens to converge it so it is focused on the ratina.
