A 0.5 kg air-track car is attached to the end of a horizontal spring of constant k = 20 N/m. The car is displaced 15 cm from its

equilibrium point and released.
a) What is the car's maximum speed? b) What is the car's maximum acceleration? c) What is the frequency f of the car's oscillation?
I need help please. What equations should I use for each problems?

Find the amount of work that the spring does. This can be found using the equation 1/2kx^2. Then, you must set that equal to the amount of kinetic energy the car has. This is possible thanks to the work-energy theorem.

1/2kx^2 = 1/2mv^2

Solve to find velocity. Remember, the spring is displaced .15 m, not 15!

To find the acceleration, use F = ma. The force being applied to the car is kx, and you know the mass. You do the math.

For problem C I don't know, haven't done that yet in my class. Sorry!

Calculate the induced electric field (in V/m) in a 40-turn coil with a diameter of 18 cm that is placed in a spatially uniform m
kozerog [31]

Answer:

ε = 6.617 V

Explanation:

We are given;

Number of turns; N = 40 turns

Diameter;D = 18cm = 0.18m

magnetic field; B = 0.65 T

Time;t = 0.1 s

The formula for the induced electric field(E.M.F) is given by;

ε = |-NAB/t|

A is area

ε is induced electric field

While N,B and t remain as earlier described.

Area = π(d²/4) = π(0.18²/4) = 0.02545

Thus;

ε = |-40 × 0.02545 × 0.65/0.1|

ε = 6.617 V

(we ignore the negative sign because we have to take the absolute value)

Iodine 131 half life is 8.0 days. Ten percent of the original sample o his isotope remains after (a) 22.7 days (b) 24.9 days (c)
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

option (c) is correct

Explanation:

Half life of a substance is the time in which the element becomes half of is initial value.

half life, T = 8 days

Amount remaining, N = 10 % of original value

Let the original value is No.

N = 10% of No

N = 0.1 No

Let the time taken is t and the decay constant is λ.

The relation between the decay constant and the half life is given by

\lambda =\frac{0.6931}{T}=\frac{0.6931}{8}=0.08664 per day

Us the equation of radioactivity

N=N_{0}e^{-\lambda t}

0.1N_{0}=N_{0}e^{-0.08664 t}

e^{0.08664 t}=10

Taking natural log on both the sides, we get

0.08664 t = 2.303

t = 26.6 days

Why empty tin-cans ocillating for a longer time​
Natalija [7]

Answer: When you speak into the can, your voice creates air vibrations that travel into the can, vibrate the bottom of the can, which in turn vibrates the string all the way over to the other can, in turn vibrating the other can's bottom, then the air again.

If earth had no landmasses, then the idealized zonal precipitation pattern would have _______.
inysia [295]

If the planet earth has no land masses, the idealized zonal precipitation pattern would likely have regions that are wet in the equator and there will be more of mid-latitudes if the earth has no land masses at all and it does not exist.
