b. comets

Although comets appear very large when they are near the Sun because of the large dust cloud that follows behind them, they are actually the smallest of the objects listed.

Comets typically have a diameter of less than 6 miles, which is much smaller than the typical diameter of the other objects listed above.

Dovator [93]
John used smothering as the method to control the harmful invasive plants in his orchard. Smothering is an example of a manual method of control and it works best in a small population of invasive species. Smothering involves covering the invasive species with a barrier that is highly impenetrable for one growing season in order to prevent these species from thriving in the environment.

A 1 kg mass is attached to a spring with spring constant 7 Nt/m. What is the frequency of the simple harmonic motion? What is th
Scorpion4ik [409]

1. 0.42 Hz

The frequency of a simple harmonic motion for a spring is given by:

f=\frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}

where

k = 7 N/m is the spring constant

m = 1 kg is the mass attached to the spring

Substituting these numbers into the formula, we find

f=\frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{7 N/m}{1 kg}}=0.42 Hz

2. 2.38 s

The period of the harmonic motion is equal to the reciprocal of the frequency:

T=\frac{1}{f}

where f = 0.42 Hz is the frequency. Substituting into the formula, we find

T=\frac{1}{0.42 Hz}=2.38 s

3. 0.4 m

The amplitude in a simple harmonic motion corresponds to the maximum displacement of the mass-spring system. In this case, the mass is initially displaced by 0.4 m: this means that during its oscillation later, the displacement cannot be larger than this value (otherwise energy conservation would be violated). Therefore, this represents the maximum displacement of the mass-spring system, so it corresponds to the amplitude.

4. 0.19 m

We can solve this part of the problem by using the law of conservation of energy. In fact:

- When the mass is released from equilibrium position, the compression/stretching of the spring is zero: x=0, so the elastic potential energy is zero, and all the mechanical energy of the system is just equal to the kinetic energy of the mass:

E=K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where m = 1 kg and v = 0.5 m/s is the initial velocity of the mass

- When the spring reaches the maximum compression/stretching (x=A=amplitude), the velocity of the system is zero, so the kinetic energy is zero, and all the mechanical energy is just elastic potential energy:

E=U=\frac{1}{2}kA^2

Since the total energy must be conserved, we have:

\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = \frac{1}{2}kA^2\\A=\sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}v=\sqrt{\frac{1 kg}{7 N/m}}(0.5 m/s)=0.19 m

5. Amplitude of the motion: 0.44 m

We can use again the law of conservation of energy.

- E_i = \frac{1}{2}kx_0^2 + \frac{1}{2}mv_0^2 is the initial mechanical energy of the system, with x_0=0.4 m being the initial displacement of the mass and v_0=0.5 m/s being the initial velocity

- E_f = \frac{1}{2}kA^2 is the mechanical energy of the system when x=A (maximum displacement)

Equalizing the two expressions, we can solve to find A, the amplitude:

\frac{1}{2}kx_0^2 + \frac{1}{2}mv_0^2=\frac{1}{2}kA^2\\A=\sqrt{x_0^2+\frac{m}{k}v_0^2}=\sqrt{(0.4 m)^2+\frac{1 kg}{7 N/m}(0.5 m/s)^2}=0.44 m

6. Maximum velocity: 1.17 m/s

We can use again the law of conservation of energy.

- E_i = \frac{1}{2}kx_0^2 + \frac{1}{2}mv_0^2 is the initial mechanical energy of the system, with x_0=0.4 m being the initial displacement of the mass and v_0=0.5 m/s being the initial velocity

- E_f = \frac{1}{2}mv_{max}^2 is the mechanical energy of the system when x=0, which is when the system has maximum velocity, v_{max}

Equalizing the two expressions, we can solve to find v_{max}, the maximum velocity:

\frac{1}{2}kx_0^2 + \frac{1}{2}mv_0^2=\frac{1}{2}mv_{max}^2\\v_{max}=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}x_0^2+v_0^2}=\sqrt{\frac{7 N/m}{1 kg}(0.4 m)^2+(0.5 m/s)^2}=1.17 m/s m

A vector quantity must include both magnitude and direction. Which measurement is a vector quantity? A) the rain accumulation at
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

B)The motion of water in an ocean current

Explanation:

With respect to measurements, a vector has both a magnitude and a direction. The first three examples (maximum height of a hill, air temperature, and rain accumulation) are magnitudes only. The fourth example (motion of water in an ocean current) is a vector, because it has a magnitude (speed) and a direction (with the current).
