What is harmonic motion
Tanzania [10]

Answer:  NNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONONONO

Explanation: simple harmonic motion, in physics, repetitive movement back and forth through an equilibrium, or central, position, so that the maximum displacement on one side of this position is equal to the maximum displacement on the other side. The time interval of each complete vibration is the same. The force responsible for the motion is always directed toward the equilibrium position and is directly proportional to the distance from it. That is, F = −kx, where F is the force, x is the displacement, and k is a constant. This relation is called Hooke’s law.

A specific example of a simple harmonic oscillator is the vibration of a mass attached to a vertical spring, the other end of which is fixed in a ceiling. At the maximum displacement −x, the spring is under its greatest tension, which forces the mass upward. At the maximum displacement +x, the spring reaches its greatest compression, which forces the mass back downward again. At either position of maximum displacement, the force is greatest and is directed toward the equilibrium position, the velocity (v) of the mass is zero, its acceleration is at a maximum, and the mass changes direction. At the equilibrium position, the velocity is at its maximum and the acceleration (a) has fallen to zero. Simple harmonic motion is characterized by this changing acceleration that always is directed toward the equilibrium position and is proportional to the displacement from the equilibrium position. Furthermore, the interval of time for each complete vibration is constant and does not depend on the size of the maximum displacement. In some form, therefore, simple harmonic motion is at the heart of timekeeping.

How does a bimetallic strip work in a sinple alarm system​
tatiyna
The bimetallic strip in a fire alarm is made of two metals with different expansion rates bonded together to form one piece of metal. Typically, the low-expansion side is made of a nickel-iron alloy called Invar, while the high-expansion side is an alloy of copper or nickel. The strip is electrically energized with a low-voltage current. When the strip is heated by fire, the high-expansion side bends the strip toward an electrical contact. When the strip touches that contact, it completes a circuit that triggers the alarm to sound. The width of the gap between the contacts determines the temperature that will set off the alarm.

At a certain instant an object is moving to the right with speed 1.0 m/s and has a constant acceleration to the left of 1.0 m/s2
professor190 [17]

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed of the object, u = 1 m/s

Acceleration of the object, a=-1\ m/s^2

We need to find the time when the object comes at rest (v=0). Let it is given by :

t=\dfrac{v-u}{a}

t=\dfrac{0-1\ m/s}{-1\ m/s^2}

t = 1 second

So, the object will comes to rest at 1 second. Hence, this is the required solution.

You take the same 3 kg metal block and slide it along the floor, where the coefficient of friction is only 0.4. You release the
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

1.52905 seconds

4.58715 m

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

\mu = Coefficient of friction = 0.4

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

a = Acceleration = \mu g

Equation of motion

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{v-u}{\mu g}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{0-6}{-0.4\times 9.81}\\\Rightarrow t=1.52905\ s

It will take 1.52905 seconds for the block to slow down

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2\mu g}\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{0^2-6^2}{2\times 0.4\times -9.81}\\\Rightarrow s=4.58715\ m

The block will travel 4.58715 m before it stops
