(a) 4.06 cm

In a simple harmonic motion, the displacement is written as

x(t) = A cos (\omega t + \phi) (1)

where

A is the amplitude

\omega is the angular frequency

\phi is the phase

t is the time

The displacement of the piston in the problem is given by

x(t) = (5.00 cm) cos (5t+\frac{\pi}{5}) (2)

By putting t=0 in the formula, we find the position of the piston at t=0:

x(0) = (5.00 cm) cos (0+\frac{\pi}{5})=4.06 cm

(b) -14.69 cm/s

In a simple harmonic motion, the velocity is equal to the derivative of the displacement. Therefore:

v(t) = x'(t) = -\omega A sin (\omega t + \phi) (3)

Differentiating eq.(2), we find

v(t) = x'(t) = -(5 rad/s)(5.00 cm) sin (5t+\frac{\pi}{5})=-(25.0 cm/s) sin (5t+\frac{\pi}{5})

And substituting t=0, we find the velocity at time t=0:

v(0)=-(25.00 cm/s) sin (0+\frac{\pi}{5})=-14.69 cm/s

(c) -101.13 cm/s^2

In a simple harmonic motion, the acceleration is equal to the derivative of the velocity. Therefore:

a(t) = v'(t) = -\omega^2 A cos (\omega t + \phi)

Differentiating eq.(3), we find

a(t) = v'(t) = -(5 rad/s)(25.00 cm/s) cos (5t+\frac{\pi}{5})=-(125.0 cm/s^2) cos (5t+\frac{\pi}{5})

And substituting t=0, we find the acceleration at time t=0:

a(0)=-(125.00 cm/s) cos (0+\frac{\pi}{5})=-101.13 cm/s^2

(d) 5.00 cm, 1.26 s

By comparing eq.(1) and (2), we notice immediately that the amplitude is

A = 5.00 cm

For the period, we have to start from the relationship between angular frequency and period T:

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

Using \omega = 5.0 rad/s and solving for T, we find

T=\frac{2\pi}{5 rad/s}=1.26 s

What do astronomers mean by light pollution?
Margarita [4]

Answer:

a. Light pollution refers to light used for human activities that brightens the sky and hinders astronomical observations.

Explanation:

Light pollution is due to the excessive and misdirected use of artificial light. Light bulbs are often design in an incorrect way, since a great part of its light is not completely directed to the ground and an important percentage is emitted to the sky in where will be scattered and reflected back to ground by the particles in the atmosphere. That brings as an effect a sky glow, therefore the visibility of astronomical objects will be extremely reduce.  

Hence, professional astronomical research and amateur observations will be affected. Light pollution has a negative impact on bird migration at night and in the health of difference species, humans also.

A 1. 18 kg gold cube hangs at the end of a 4. 00 m long string. Rhogold = 19. 3 × 103 kg/m3; rhomercury = 13. 6 × 103 kg/m3. Whe
VashaNatasha [74]

When the gold cube is immersed in mercury, the tension in the string in Newtons is 3.142N.

<h3>What is tension?</h3>

Tension is the force acting on the linear object like string, chain or rope due to pulling.

Volume of gold V = mass / density

V = 1.18 /19.3x 10³ =61.1 x 10⁻⁶ m³

Tension in the string after immersing will be

T = [ρ(Gold)  -ρ(Hg)] g. V

T =[ 19.3x 10³ - 13.6 x 10³] x 9.81 x 61.1 x 10⁻⁶

T =3.416 N
Thus, the tension in the string is 3.42 N.
