Weight doesn't really mean much as it just means gravity the bigger a space object is the more force it has to pull on something since the moon is smaller than the earth then it has less gravity and then less weight on scales.

Suppose you're performing experiments in science class in which you start with 70 bacteria and the amount of bacteria triples ev
barxatty [35]
1h----------------> 70x3=210 bacteria
2h-----------------> 210*3=630 bactaeria
let be y the number of bacteria at the t=0h
it is y=70 3^0
for t= 1h
y=70*3^1=210
for t=2h
y=70*3^2=630

so we can write y=70*3^x, where x is the number of hour

A frictionless cart of mass M is attached to a spring with spring constant k. When the cart is displaced 6 cm from its rest posi
Marianna [84]

Answer:

Time period of horizontal Oscillation  = T = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }

As you can see, from the equation, Period of oscillation depends upon the mass and the spring constant. Not on the displacement.

Explanation:

Solution:

As we know that:

F = Kx

Here,

K = Spring constant

x = displacement.

First, they are displacing it with 6 cm from its rest position for which Time period of the oscillation is T = 2 seconds.

But next, they want to know the effect on the time period of the oscillation if the displacement x is doubled from 6cm to 12 cm.

First of all, let us see the equation of the time period of the oscillation.

We need to check, if time period does depend on the displacement or not.

As we know,

Time period of horizontal Oscillation  = T = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }

As you can see, from the equation, Period of oscillation depends upon the mass and the spring constant. Not on the displacement.

Since, K is the constant for a particular spring, we need to change the mass of the cart to change the time period.

Hence the Time period will remain same.

If an object is projected upward from ground level with an initial velocity of 144144 ft per​ sec, then its height in feet after
Liula [17]

Answer:

4.5 s, 324 ft

Explanation:

The object is projected upward with an initial velocity of

v_0 = 144 ft/s

The equation that describes its height at time t is

s(t) = -16t^2 + 144 t (1)

where t, the time, is measured in seconds.

In order to find the time it takes for the object to reach the maximum height, we must find an expression for its velocity at time t, which can be found by calculating the derivative of the position, s(t):

v(t) = s'(t) = -32t +144 (2)

At the maximum heigth, the vertical velocity is zero:

v(t) = 0

Substituting into the equation above, we find the corresponding time at which the object reaches the maximum height:

0=-32t+144\\t=\frac{144}{32}=4.5 s

And by substituting this value into eq.(1), we also find the maximum height:

s(t) = -16(4.5)^2+144(4.5)=324 ft

The mini-refrigerator fire was most likely caused by what type of wiring?
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer: The copper wiring most likely caused the mini-refrigerator fire.

Explanation: A mini-refrigerator may have one or more evaporator fan motors. These motors have copper wiring. In some situation these copper wires gets overheated. It may result to the firing of the mini-refrigerator.

Therefore, the mini-refrigerator fire was most likely caused by copper wiring.
