If the gymnast mass were doubled, her height (h) from the top of the board would be as follows,

с Stay the same

Explanation:

The Mass of an object or body does not affect the acceleration due to gravity in any kind of way.
Light weight objects accelerate more slowly than the heavy objects because when the forces other than the gravity also plays a major role.
Mass increases of a body when an object has higher velocity or the speed.
The greater the force of gravity, it would give a direct impact on the object's acceleration; thus considering only a force, the heavier the object is, it would accelerate faster. But an acceleration depends upon the two factors which are force and mass.
Newton's second law of motion states that the acceleration of an object is dependent upon the two factors which are, the net force of an object and the mass of the object.

Two tuning forks of frequency 480 hz and 484 hz are struck simultaneously. what is the beat frequency resulting from the two sou

umka21 [38]

Ans: Beat frequency = $f_b$ = 4Hz

Explanation:
The beat frequency is equal to the absolute value of the difference in frequency of the two waves. In other words, the number of beats per second is equal to the difference in frequency. It is due to the destructive and constructive interference. According to this interference, sound will be soft or loud.

Hence. the formula is:
Beat frequency = $f_b = |f_2 - f_1|$

Since,
 $f_1 = 480Hz$
$f_2 = 484Hz$

Therefore,
Beat frequency = $f_b = |484 - 480|$

=> Beat frequency = $f_b = 4Hz$

If the plotted points on a speed-time graph do not form a straight line, what do you know about the object's acceleration?

slega [8]

Remember, that while sped is constant, acceleration is not. Acceleration is when velicity changes. So the graph which shows the slop of a velocity vs time describes acceleration.
If we have the straight line on the graph it means that the slope is always the same whereas the non-linear graphs has a variable slope that changes depending on your point in the graph.
To conclude - if your graph is not a straight line it has variable acc at many points.

A 20-newton weight is attached to a spring.

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

40 N/m

Explanation:

The diagram attached is used to answer the question

We know from Hooke's law that extension is directly proportional to the applied force hence

F=kx where x is extension, F is applied force and k is the spring constant. Making k the subject of the formula then

$k=\frac {F}{k}$

From the attached diagram extension is given by subtracting unstretched spring from stretched spring hence extension, x=1-0.5=0.5m

Substituting 20 N for F and 0.5 m for x then

$k=\frac {20}{0.5}=40 N/m$

What are 3 characteristics of a tornado?

IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

Explanation:

Features. A tornado is a swirling vortex or column of air with a hollow core. The circulating air often contains debris and dust and moves in an upward spiral at high speeds. The bottom of the tornado column makes contact with the ground, while the top of the tornado can extend 5 or more miles into the sky.
