Function of insulators is protection against sound or electric current or ,heat based on the type of insulators.

They use in wires (plastic)

Use in making soundproof rooms

Thermal insulators are use in making water bottles. Keep the water warm

g A 1.5-kg mass attached to spring with a force constant of 20.0 N/m oscillates on a horizontal, frictionless track. At t = 0, t

jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

(a) f = 0.58Hz

(b) vmax = 0.364m/s

(d) E = 0.1J

(e) x(t)=0.1m*cos(2π(0.58s^{-1})t)

Explanation:

(a) The frequency of the oscillation, in a spring-mass system, is calculated by using the following formula:

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

k: spring constant = 20.0N/m

m: mass = 1.5kg

you replace the values of m and k for getting f:

$f=\frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{20.0N/m}{1.5kg}}=0.58s^{-1}=0.58Hz$

The frequency of the oscillation is 0.58Hz

(b) The maximum speed is given by the following relation:

$v_{max}=\omega A=2\pi f A$ (2)

A: amplitude of the oscillations = 10.0cm = 0.10m

$v_{max}=2\pi (0.58s^{-1})(0.10m)=0.364\frac{m}{s}$

The maximum speed of the mass is 0.364 m/s.

The maximum speed occurs when the mass passes trough the equilibrium point of the oscillation.

(c) The maximum acceleration is given by the following formula:

$a_{max}=\omega^2A=(2\pi f)^2 A$

$a_{max}=(2\pi (0.58s^{-1}))(0.10m)=1.32\frac{m}{s^2}$

The maximum acceleration is 1.32 m/s^2

The maximum acceleration occurs where the elastic force is a maximum, that is, where the mass is at the maximum distance from the equilibrium point, that is, the acceleration.

(d) The total energy of the system is calculated with the maximum potential elastic energy:

$E=\frac{1}{2}kA^2=\frac{1}{2}(20.0N/m)(0.10m)^2=0.1J$

The total energy is 0.1J

(e) The displacement as a function of time is:

$x(t)=Acos(\omega t)=Acos(2\pi ft)\\\\x(t)=0.1m\ cos(2\pi(0.58s^{-1})t)$

A heavy rope, 80 ft long and weighing 32 lbs, hangs over the edge of a building 100 ft high. how much work w is done in pulling

allochka39001 [22]

The first thing you should know for this case is that work is defined as the product of force by the distance traveled in the direction of force.
We have then:
W = Fd
The distance varies, so we must integrate:
from 0 to 20:
W = ∫F (x) dx
W = ∫32xdx
W = 32∫xdx
W = 32 (x ^ 2/2) = (16) (20 ^ 2) = 6400 ft * lbs
answer:
6400 ft * lbs is work done pulling the rope up 20 ft

Andy took a bus and then walked from his home to downtown. For the first 1.6 hour, the bus drove at an average speed of 15 km/h

Yuliya22 [10]

1.6x15=24 

 

0.4x4.5=1.8 

 

24+1.8=25.8 

 

1.6+0.4=2

What life process requires specialized cells in multicellular organisms

worty [1.4K]

The most probable answer for this question would be that almost every life process requires specialized cells in multicellular organisms. To simply put it, cells of multicellular organisms are specialized in a way that they are all grouped into their respective tissues and these tissues are all grouped into their respective organs and these organs are all grouped together into their respective systems and these systems make up the multicellular organisms. These systems have their own functions in maintaining and sustaining the life that the organisms has. The organs have their own functions as well, thus specialized cells are mostly needed in respiration, digestion, circulation, movement, excretion, reproduction, immunity, coordination, and synthesis.

In a region of space there is a uniform magnetic field pointing in the positive z direction. In what direction should a negative

astra-53 [7]

Answer:

the speed in -y

Explanation:

For this exercise we must use the right hand rule. The motion of a positive charge is given by.

Thumb points in the direction of speed

fingers extended in the direction of the magnetic field, + z axis

the palm in the direction of the force, as the charge is negative in the opposite direction of the force, axis + x

therefore the thumb is in the direction - y

the speed in -y
