On your first trip to Planet X you happen to take along a 180 g mass, a 40-cm-long spring, a meter stick, and a stopwatch. You'r

e curious about the free-fall acceleration on Planet X, where ordinary tasks seem easier than on earth, but you can't find this information in your Visitor's Guide. One night you suspend the spring from the ceiling in your room and hang the mass from it. You find that the mass stretches the spring by 22.6 cm . You then pull the mass down 11.4 cm and release it. With the stopwatch you find that 11 oscillations take 19.0 s ?

Answer:

g_x = 3.0 m / s^2

Explanation:

Given:

- Change in length of spring [email protected] = 22.6 cm

- Time taken for 11 oscillations t = 19.0 s

Find:

- The value of gravitational free fall g_x at plant X:

Solution:

- We will assume a simple harmonic motion of the mass for which Time is:

                                 T  = 2*pi*sqrt(k / m )    ...... 1

- Sum of forces in vertical direction @equilibrium is zero:

                                 F_net = k*x - m*g_x = 0

                                 (k / m) = (g_x / x)    .... 2

- substitute Eq 2 into Eq 1:

                                  2*pi / T = sqrt ( g_x / x )

                                   g_x = (2*pi / T )^2 * x

- Evaluate g_x:

                                  g_x = (2*pi / (19 / 11) )^2 * 0.226

                                  g_x = 3.0 m / s^2

Answer:

12m

Explanation:

To obtain the answer to the question given, we must observe the characteristics of image formed by a plane mirror.

The image formed by a plane mirror have the following characteristics:

1. Laterally inverted.

2. Same distance as the object from the mirror.

3. Same height as the object.

4. Virtual.

With the above information, we can calculate the distance between the boy and his image as follow:

Initially:

Object distance (u) = 4m

Image distance (v) = 4m

The boy moved 2m away, therefore:

Object distance (u) = 2 + 4 = 6m

Image distanc(v) = 2 + 4 = 6m

The distance between the boy and his image will be the sum of his distance (u) and image distance (v) i.e (u + v)

The distance between the boy and his image = 6 + 6 = 12m

Therefore, the distance between the boy and his image is 12m.

Which of the following ocean motions are powered by the wind? waves tides surface currents deep ocean currents
Effectus [21]

At the entrance of most beaches, there is a bulletin board with notices about water conditions: maybe a faded sign warning about rip currents and a list of this week's tide tables. Most people pass them by without a second thought, but if you want to enter the ocean, it is important to know its movements, whether to avoid being caught in a riptide or to figure out when the waves will be at their best.


Hope this helps

Two electromagnets contain the same types of magnets
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer: The first electromagnet has a more powerful current than

the second

Explanation:

Since the two electromagnets contain the same types of magnets and wires. If the magnet In the first moves much faster than the second. Therefore:

The first electromagnet has a more powerful current than the second

Because the induced EMF is proportional to the induced current.

Where the induced EMF depends on the speed of the magnet according to the formula below

EMF = BVL

So, increase in speed of the magnet will cause more powerful induced current and emf
