Inertia is the resistance of any physical object to any change in its state of motion. This includes changes to the object's speed, direction, or state of rest.

An apple weighs 1.00 N. When you hang it from the end of a long spring of force constant 1.50 N/m and negligible mass, it bounce

Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

2.67 m

Explanation:

k = Spring constant = 1.5 N/m

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

l = Unstretched length

Frequency of SHM motion is given by

$f_s=\dfrac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}}$

Frequency of pendulum is given by

$f_p=\dfrac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{g}{l}}$

Given in the question

$f_p=\dfrac{1}{2}f_s$

$\dfrac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{g}{l}}=\dfrac{1}{2}\dfrac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}}\\\Rightarrow \sqrt{\dfrac{g}{l}}=\dfrac{1}{2}\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{g}{l}=\dfrac{1}{4}\dfrac{k}{m}\\\Rightarrow l=\dfrac{4gm}{k}\\\Rightarrow l=\dfrac{4\times 9.81\times \dfrac{1}{9.81}}{1.5}\\\Rightarrow l=2.67\ m$

The unstretched length of the spring is 2.67 m

What do nuclear fission and nuclear fusion have in common?

adoni [48]

Answer:

Both fission and fusion are nuclear reactions that produce energy, but the applications are not the same. Fission is the splitting of a heavy, unstable nucleus into two lighter nuclei, and fusion is the process where two light nuclei combine together releasing vast amounts of energy
