The ion at the center of a silicate tetrahedron is surrounded by _______

Which of the following is a true statment?

ValentinkaMS [17]

Choices A, B, and D are false statements.

I think choice-C is trying to say the right thing, but it
might have gotten copied incorrectly.

Electric fields and electric forces both increase as the distance
decreases, and decrease as the distance increases.

You perform an experiment in which you find out how much mass evaporates from a liquid when it is placed in direct sunlight or i

qaws [65]

The correct option is SCALE.
This is because the experimental data you are interested in is mass and scale is the instrument that is used to measure mass. To use the scale, measure the mass of your water before you put it inside the sun and measure the mass again after you remove it from the sun. The difference in mass is the quantity of water that is evaporated.
There are different type of scale and the one that you use will depend on the size of the material that you want to measure.<span />

You have a two-wheel trailer that you pull behind your ATV. Two children with a combined mass of 76.2 kg hop on board for a ride

marin [14]

a) The spring constant is 12,103 N/m

b) The mass of the trailer 2,678 kg

c) The frequency of oscillation is 0.478 Hz

d) The time taken for 10 oscillations is 20.9 s

Explanation:

a)

When the two children jumps on board of the trailer, the two springs compresses by a certain amount

$\Delta x = 6.17 cm = 0.0617 m$

Since the system is then in equilibrium, the restoring force of the two-spring system must be equal to the weight of the children, so we can write:

$2mg = k'\Delta x$ (1)

where

m = 76.2 kg is the mass of each children

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity

$k'$ is the equivalent spring constant of the 2-spring system

For two springs in parallel each with constant k,

$k'=k+k=2k$

Substituting into (1) and solving for k, we find:

$2mg=2k\Delta x\\k=\frac{mg}{\Delta x}=\frac{(76.2)(9.8)}{0.0617}=12,103 N/m$

b)

The period of the oscillating system is given by

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k'}}$

where

And for the system in the problem, we know that

T = 2.09 s is the period of oscillation

m is the mass of the trailer

$k'=2k=2(12,103)=24,206 N/m$ is the equivalent spring constant of the system

Solving the equation for m, we find the mass of the trailer:

$m=(\frac{T}{2\pi})^2 k'=(\frac{2.09}{2\pi})^2 (24,206)=2,678 kg$

c)

The frequency of oscillation of a spring-mass system is equal to the reciprocal of the period, therefore:

$f=\frac{1}{T}$

where

f is the frequency

T is the period

In this problem, we have

T = 2.09 s is the period

Therefore, the frequency of oscillation is

$f=\frac{1}{2.09}=0.478 Hz$

d)

The period of the system is

T = 2.09 s

And this time is the time it takes for the trailer to complete one oscillation.

In this case, we want to find the time it takes for the trailer to complete 10 oscillations (bouncing up and down 10 times). Therefore, the time taken will be the period of oscillation multiplied by 10.

Therefore, the time needed for 10 oscillations is:

$t=10T=10(2.09)=20.9 s$
