Answer:

The answer to the question is

Its maximum speed is 1.54 m/s

Explanation:

Work done = Kinetic energy

0.5·m·v² = 0.5·k·x²

Where

m = mass

v = velocity

k = spring constant

x = extension of the spring

We note that Force F is given by

F = m·a

Where

a = acceleration due to gravity

= 0.153×9.8 = 1.4994 N

Equating the work done by the force to the work done on the spring gives

Work done = Force × Distance = 1.4994×x = 0.5×k÷x² = 0.5×24.7×x²

x = 1.4994÷12.35 = 0.121 m

Substituting the value of x into the equation below gives

0.5·m·v² = 0.5·k·x²

0.5×0.153×v² = 12.35×0.121²

v² = 0.182÷0.0765 = 2.379

v = 1.54 m/s

a place that is typically cold because of an increase in altitude would most likely have what type of climate? dry climate mild

Marta_Voda [28]

A place that is cold because of an increase in altitude has a mountain area climate or simply, mountain climate. An area that is high in altitude typically has a colder temperature because of the increased amount of rainfall they have. Also, air tends to cool as it rises in temperature.

An object is placed to the left of a convex mirror, such that the object-to-image distance is 140 cm.

labwork [276]

Answer:

The focal length of the mirror is 52.5 cm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Object to Image distance d = 140 cm

Image distance v= 35 cm

We need to calculate the object distance

$u = d-v$

$u = 140-35=105\ cm$

We need to calculate the focal length

Using formula of mirror

$\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{u}+\dfrac{1}{v}$

Put the value into the formula

$\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{-105}+\dfrac{1}{35}$

$\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{2}{105}$

$f=52.5\ cm$

Hence, The focal length of the mirror is 52.5 cm.

One of the harmonic frequencies of tube A with two open ends is 576 Hz. The next-highest harmonic frequency is 648 Hz. (a) What

balu736 [363]

(a) 288 Hz

The difference between any two harmonics of an open-end tube is equal to the fundamental frequency, $f_1$ (first harmonic):

$f_{n+1}-f_n = f_1$ (1)

In this problem, we are told the frequencies of two successive harmonics:

$f_n = 576 Hz\\f_{n+1}=648 Hz$

So the fundamental frequency is:

$f_1 = 648 Hz-576 Hz=72 Hz$

Now we know that one of the the harmonics is $f_n=216 Hz$ , so its next highest harmonic will have a frequency of

$f_{n+1}=f_n+f_1 = 216 Hz+72 Hz=288 Hz$

(b) n=4

The frequency of the nth-harmonic is an integer multiple of the fundamental frequency:

$f_n=n f_1$ (2)

Since we know $f_n = 288 Hz$ , we can solve (2) to find the number n of this harmonic:

$n=\frac{f_n}{f_1}=\frac{288 Hz}{72 Hz}=4$

(c) 4445 Hz

For a closed pipe (only one end is open), the situation is a bit different, because only odd harmonics are allowed. This means that the frequency of the nth-harmonic is an odd-integer multiple of the fundamental frequency:

$f_n=(2n+1) f_1$ (2)

so, the difference between any two harmonics tube is equal to:

$f_{n+1}-f_n = (2(n+1)+1)f_1-(2n+1)f_1=(2n+3)f_1-(2n+1)f_1=2f_1$ (1)

In this problem, we are told the frequencies of two successive harmonics:

$f_n = 4699 Hz\\f_{n+1}=4953 Hz$

So, according to (1), the fundamental frequency is equal to half of this difference:

$f_1 = \frac{4953 Hz-4699 Hz}{2}=127 Hz$

Now we know that one of the harmonics is $f_n=4191 Hz$ , so its next highest harmonic will have a frequency of

$f_{n+1}=f_n+2f_1 = 4191 Hz+254 Hz=4445 Hz$

(d) n=17

We said that the frequency of the nth-harmonic is equal to an odd-integer multiple of the fundamental frequency:

$f_n=(2n+1) f_1$ (2)

Since we know $f_n = 4445 Hz$ , we can solve (2) to find the number n of this harmonic:

$n=\frac{1}{2}(\frac{f_n}{f_1}-1)=\frac{1}{2}(\frac{4445 Hz}{127 Hz}-1)=17$
