Answer:

Explanation:

The velocity and acceleration of a skydiver increases as she falls from the plane back to the ground. When she will come more closer to earth the force of gravity will increase on her and her velocity will increase so the acceleration. According to the newtons law of gravitation gravity will increase as the distance between the two body decreases.

A spring with spring constant 11.5 N/m hangs from the ceiling. A 490 g ball is attached to the spring and allowed to come to res

Natalija [7]

Answer:

The time constant is $\tau = 17.5 \ s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The spring constant is $k = 11.5 \ N/m$

The mass of the ball is $m_b = 490 \ g = 0.49 \ kg$

The amplitude of the oscillation t the beginning is $x = 6.70 cm = 0.067 \ m$

The amplitude after time t is $x_t = 2.20 cm = 0.022 \ m$

The number of oscillation is $N = 30$

Generally the time taken to attain the second amplitude is mathematically represented as

$t = N * T$ Here T is the period of oscillation

$t = N * 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }$

=> $t = 30 * 2 * 3.142 * \sqrt{\frac{ 0.490}{11.5} }$

=> $t = 38.88 \ s$

Generally the amplitude at time t is mathematically represented as

$x(t) = x e^{-\frac{at}{2m} }$

Here a is the damping constant so

at $t = 38.88 \ s$ , $x_t = 2.20 cm = 0.022 \ m$

$0.022 = 0.067 e^{-\frac{a * 38.88}{2 * 0.490} }$

=> $0.3284 = e^{-\frac{a * 38.88}{2 * 0.490} }$

taking natural log of both sides

=> $ln(0.3284 ) = -\frac{a * 38.88}{2 * 0.490} }$

=> $a = 0.028$

Generally the time constant is mathematically represented as

$\tau = \frac{m}{a}$

=> $\tau = \frac{0.490}{ 0.028}$

=> $\tau = 17.5 \ s$

what are the common elements that make up series and parallel circuits , and how are circuits diagrammed?

Ahat [919]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

A series circuit occurs when the elements are connected along a simple path so the same current flows through all the elements. On the other hand, a parallel circuit occurs when there are two or more paths for the electricity to flow. The diagram are shown in the Figure below. We have chosen a source and resistors to illustrate this problem.

What do you mean by kinetic energy and potential energy ?

Verizon [17]

Kinetic Energy of an object is the measure of the work an object can do by virtue of its motions..

Formula - KE = 1/2 mv^2

Where KE is the kinetic energy, m is the body’s mass, and v is the body’s velocity.

Potential energy is the stored energy in any object or system by virtue of its position or arrangement of parts..

Formula - W = mgh

Where,

. m is the mass in kilograms

. g is the acceleration due to gravity

. h is the height in meters

7. An 8 kg ball is travelling to the east at 10 ms', collides with a 2 kg ball travelling to the

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

The final velocity of the ball is 7m/s

Explanation:

M1=8kg, V1 =10m/s , M2=2kg , V2=-5m/s

initial momentum before collison

m1v1+m2v2

=8×10 +2×(-5) =80-10 = 70kg m/s

final momentum after collison

=(m1+m2)×v

=(8+2)×v

=10v

According to the law of conversion of momentum

initial momentum =final momentum

70=10v

10v=70

v=70/10

v=7m/s
