How are vibrations different between bigger sizes rubber bands and smaller sized rubber bands?

Assuming the kind of vibration you are talking about is the kind where you stretch the rubber band between two points and then "twang" it, then the answer is fairly complex. What happens when you cause the vibrations to start is you make something called a "standing wave". In a standing wave, each particle in the rubber band has a certain amount of energy which causes it to move backwards and forwards, the particles with more energy have a larger "amplitude" (how much they move), and of course the particles with less energy have a smaller amplitude. Now a standing wave has two main components: The amplitude, and the frequency. The amplitude of the whole wave refers to the largest amplitude any particles has. The frequency refers to how often it takes for one of the particles to move between the two furthest away points it can be.
To compare rubber bands, you must remember to keep certain things constant. If you're looking at their vibrations, the amount of energy you use to "twang" the rubber band should be the same each time you twang it (which is the same as applying the same force each time you twang it).

A larger rubber band has more area over which to spread the energy, as well as it has more mass for the energy to move, so the vibrations will have smaller amplitudes, and smaller frequencies, overall vibrating less and with smaller vibrations.

Katena32 [7]

<u>Answer:</u> The number of moles of strontium bicarbonate is 7.5\times 10^{-9}mol

<u>Explanation:</u>

Formula units are defined as lowest whole number ratio of ions in an ionic compound. It is calculate by multiplying the number of moles by Avogadro's number which is 6.022\times 10^{23}

We are given:

Number of formula units of Sr(HCO_3)_2=4.55\times 10^{15}

As, 6.022\times 10^{23}  number of formula units are contained in 1 mole of a substance.

So, 4.55\times 10^{15} number of formula units will be contained in = \frac{1}{6.022\times 10^{23}}\times 4.55\times 10^{15}=7.5\times 10^{-9}mol of strontium bicarbonate.

Hence, the number of moles of strontium bicarbonate is 7.5\times 10^{-9}mol

Is it true that an atom has 3 subatomic particles with a negative nucleus and the neutrons outside the the nucleus
Nostrana [21]

Answer: atoms do have 3 subatomic particles but the nucleus is positive and the nucleus consists of protons and neutrons. Its positive because neutrons have no charge and protons have a positive charge. There are only electrons on the shells so no neutrons or protons on the shells

How much heat energy is required to raise the temperature of 0.360 kg of copper from 23.0 ∘C to 60.0 ∘C? The specific heat of co
AVprozaik [17]
MThe  heat  energy  required  to  raise  the  temperature   of  0.36Kg   of  copper   from   22 c   to  60  c  is  calculate  using  the  following  formula

MC delta T
m(mass)=  0.360kg  in  grams  =  0.360  x1000 = 360 g
  c(specific  heat  energy)  =  0.0920  cal/g.c
delta T =  60- 23  = 37  c

heat  energy is therefore=  360g   x0.0920 cal/g.c  x 37  c=  1225.44  cal
