A penny rides on top of a piston as it undergoes vertical simple harmonic motion with an amplitude of 4.0cm. If the frequency is

low, the penny rides up and down without difficulty. If the frequency is steadily increased, there comes a point at which the penny leaves the surface.
1) At what point in the cycle does the penny first lose contact with the piston? (answer choices:)

A. midpoint moving up

B. midpoint losing down

C. highest point

D. lowest point


2) What is the maximum frequency for which the penny just barely remains in place for the full cycle?

1) At the moment of being at the top, the piston will not only tend to push the penny up but will also descend at a faster rate at which the penny can reach in 'free fall', in that short distance. Therefore, at the highest point, the penny will lose contact with the piston. Therefore the correct answer is C.

2) To solve this problem we will apply the equations related to the simple harmonic movement, hence we have that the acceleration can be defined as

a = -\omega^2 A

Where,

a = Acceleration

A = Amplitude

\omega= Angular velocity

From a reference system in which the downward acceleration is negative due to the force of gravity we will have to

a = -g

-\omega^2 A = -g

\omega = \sqrt{\frac{g}{A}}

From the definition of frequency and angular velocity we have to

\omega = 2\pi f

f = \frac{1}{2\pi} \sqrt{\frac{g}{A}}

f = \frac{1}{2\pi} \sqrt{\frac{9.8}{4*10^{-2}}}

f = 2.5Hz

Therefore the maximum frequency for which the penny just barely remains in place for the full cycle is 2.5Hz

Pikes Peak near Denver, Colorado, has an elevation of 14,110 ft. Calculate the pressure at this elevation using three different
kramer

Answer:

a) P = 1240 lb/ft^2

b) P = 1040 lb/ft^2

c) P = 1270 lb/ft^2

Explanation:

Given:

- P_a = 2216.2 lb/ft^2

- β = 0.00357 R/ft

- g = 32.174 ft/s^2

- T_a = 518.7 R

- R = 1716 ft-lb / slug-R

- γ = 0.07647 lb/ft^3

- h = 14,110 ft

Find:

(a) Determine the pressure at this elevation using the standard atmosphere equation.

(b) Determine the pressure assuming the air has a constant specific weight of 0.07647 lb/ft3.

(c) Determine the pressure if the air is assumed to have a constant temperature of 59 oF.

Solution:

- The standard atmospheric equation is expressed as:

                           P = P_a* ( 1 - βh/T_a)^(g / R*β)

                          (g / R*β) = 32.174 / 1716*0.0035 = 5.252

                            P = 2116.2*(1 - 0.0035*14,110/518.7)^5.252

                            P = 1240 lb/ft^2

- The air density method which is expressed as:

                            P = P_a - γ*h

                            P = 2116.2 - 0.07647*14,110

                            P = 1040 lb/ft^2

- Using constant temperature ideal gas approximation:

                            P = P_a* e^ ( -g*h / R*T_a )

                            P = 2116.2* e^ ( -32.174*14110 / 1716*518.7 )

                            P = 1270 lb/ft^2

Which of the following statements is accurate?
cupoosta [38]

Answer: A and B

Explanation:

A

The wavelength of both transverse and longitudinal waves is measured parallel to the direction of the travel of the wave.

Because wavelength is the distance between the two successful crest or trough.

B) 

Amplitude of longitudinal waves is measured at right angles to the direction of the travel of the wave and represents the maximum distance the molecule has moved from its normal position.

Because amplitude is the measure of maximum displacement from the original position

hammer [34]

if they had a suitable amount to cause an interruption in the waves so huge and vast that it makes waves..... it depends because you can have any amount and get different results any day though

hope this helps plz mark me brainliest
