A = -9.8
v = -9.8t -8
s = -4.9 t2 -8t +25
So… -5t^2 -8t + 25 =0, we’ll rearrange to 5t^2 + 8t - 25. We get two roots, one is positive and is 1.59 seconds
V = -9.8(1.59) - 8 = -23.6
So… it takes 1.59 seconds to hit the ground at -23.6 m/s.
Through refraction , it bends as it passes into a solid object
Answer:
(a) 1.16 s
(b)0.861 Hz
Explanation:
(a) Period : The period of a simple harmonic motion is the time in seconds, required for a object undergoing oscillation to complete one cycle.
From the question,
If 1550 cycles is completed in (30×60) seconds,
1 cycle is completed in x seconds
x = 30×60/1550
x = 1.16 s
Hence the period is 1.16 seconds.
(b) Frequency : This can be defined as the number of cycles that is completed in one seconds, by an oscillating body. The S.I unit of frequency is Hertz (Hz).
Mathematically, Frequency is given as
F = 1/T ........................... Equation 1
Where F = frequency, T = period.
Given: T = 1.16 s.
Substitute into equation 1
F = 1/1.16
F = 0.862 Hz
Hence thee frequency = 0.862 Hz
